This is a rant. I know that you have to be a some what patient person to use ecigs. You have to wait a week for any device/juice/accessories to show up all the while watching your reserves dwindle. Its funny because I've never met or been a patient smoker. Ever been to the airport with a smoker? They turn into borderline psychotic people making a mad dash to the door knocking over old ladies and tripping over kids. This is what happened to me 8 days ago when i regressed to that mentality and it exploded in my face like a hand grenade. I'm embarrassed to say I've been cheating on my reo with my birthday provari. Of course I was able able to smash my tank and broke the stem so the reo got reinstated. The reo is like a beretta over under. Extremely high quality with unparalleled reliability. My revitalized love for my reo I decided to pick up a reomizer 2. Like a twisted joke after the 5 day wait for paypal I bought the wire and wick, but when I went to get the reomizer it was sold out! In a ridiculously unnesesary rage I bought a hornet instead. Within literally 10 seconds of getting an email saying the hornet has shipped, the reomizer back in stock email showed up. Sweet irony. Now for the 3 days I've been looking at the hornet tracking with no date and no location and it needs a signature. Lame. If this wasn't me I think this was hilarious. I feel like I'm in a Ben Stiller movie. the hornet better be amazing. Act in haste, repent at your leasure.

Ace, great and funny story bro. Hornets a good RBA, but I prefer the RM2. It vapes much better IMO. It also functions better cause the drain / feed hole is in the base, not the post, up off the deck. It's a great RBA.

You should do yourself a solid and grab one. Then you'll have hornet as a backup :)

It's just that kind of scenario that causes me to have 2 grands (with 2 sets of 5 batteries), 2 minis (2 sets of 4 batteries), 2 RM2's (and a baggie full of "other" RBAs), 2 mulitmeters, 2 chargers, 2 3 liter stashes of unflavored nic juice. I even have 2 solar panels I can use to recharge them.

Thanks man. Good call on the drain and it looks easier too build too so I'm still getting one. I'm going to get a spring set too for when I short it out lol.

If you get springs, no shorts. If you don't, we'll, you know. A set of extra screws for the posts is money too. :)

Just your standard solar panels from harbor freight. Takes me about an hour or so to set them up, they normally live in my attached shed. They charge standard deepcycle 12 volt batteries, which then power your normal battery charger (or most any other low current device). Slow, but better than nothing.

I went 6 days without electricity during hurricane Isabel. Not fun. During hurricane season, I top off ALL sets of batteries well in advance of any approaching storms, and could probably vape for over a week on those alone with no charging. Ok, ok, maybe I'd use them to power the lights and TV too, if the wife is really nice to me :)

I got the 45 watt ones from Harbor Freight. Not what I'd call portable, although some folks mount them on their RV's. But hey, if the power is out, I'm probably not going anywhere anyway.

I think a while back several people tried some solar rechargers (small, hand held), but their performance was less than stellar.

Okay...just took at look at Harbor Freight. Mounting terminals, hardware, etc. -- I'm so not the handy type. Thanks, though. I think I'll just stick with plugging the charger into the wall.
