Wow, you made me really think what I'd do in the same position. 
Although I have many backups I tend to be forgetful and could leave the house with a low battery with no backup. To date, I haven't done this, yet. Makes me anxious just to think about it. I tend to treat vaping like I did smoking, have all things I may need if I'm stuck; backup stock and such. Some good advice here......

I agree with most of the previous posters:
Never mind, sh** happens, we all learn from our mistakes, and - in the case of vaping - we will just be better prepared next time
I had it happen twice (in almost 2 years of vaping):
1st time - 3 weeks into vaping - had only 3 batteries at the time - 2 broke (charger defective) and 1 was charging. Friday evening. Germany. No offline store around.
Smoked the last 5 cigs in my pack that had been lying on my table, untouched for the 3 weeks after I took up vaping.
Eeewwwwwww, yucky! Went to bed feeling dizzy, probably from a slight slight carbon monoxide poisoning.
Lesson learned: Stock up on batteries. This sh** ain't gonna happen to me again.
Result: I could just about open a store with batteries and vaping equipment now
2nd time - went out with friends - greatly underestimated the time I would be gone - did not bring enough batteries and lent one PV and battery to a friend who had forgotten hers. Sat in a beer garden with friends with no way to vape - agh! - Bummed tobacco cigarettes of my friends.
Eewwwwwwww, yucky! Came home and vaped away a whole 1 ml at once - to get rid of that taste in my mouth, throat etc.
Lesson learned: take enough vaping equipment wherever I go. (I got a little vaping kit). This sh*** ain't gonna happen to me again.
Result: Check vaping kit carefully before leaving house, just like I used to make sure I had enough (discount-bought) cigarettes and a working lighter.
Never mind, dear. Do not feel bad. Next time, you will be prepared. And all will be well
Edit:
and thank you for sharing your experience. It may well help other vapers to be well prepared.

I recently did the same thing. Almost a year and I fell right off. But you just have to dust yourself off and remember you can do this. I upgraded my tank and battery and now I've been a week without a thought of a cig. Were all here for ya.
Not advocating or recommending anything here..... but in that situation.....
Your juice has nic in it, you don't need a battery to get nic from the juice.
One time... SLIGHTLY apple flavored coffee got me through the day.... wasn't the best flavor but it got me through the day.

I was lucky. I didn't smoke for nearly as long as some....about a pack a day smoker for 7 years or so. Still long enough to pick up a hard to quit habit.
Anyway, the very DAY I got my PV, I only smoked 3 cigarettes. The next 2 days I smoked 2-3 cigarettes (down from a pack a day), and the 4th day of having my PV....I never picked up another cig.
Now, I had 4 cigs left in my pack, and instead of throwing them out...I let them sit in my drawer. NEVER once had the temptation to smoke again.
I did, however, try one of those 4 analogs left in my drawer two times since I quit smoking. Both times I was curious how it would taste....both times it tasted SO HORRIBLE that I could only take a puff before I threw the rest of the cig away.
I still have 2 cigs sitting in my drawer, with no temptation to ever smoke again, hehe
Guess I'm lucky.
I'm sorry to hear that. Really worried that'll happen to me. Couldn't stand the taste of cigarettes less than a month into vaping, but if I couldn't vape there's a good chance I'd get a pack of cigarettes. No place to buy any e-cigs here in central Stockholm (as far as I know). I should probably order a box of throwaways and hide/burry them all around town, just to be on the safe side...
Wow, you guys really supportive, I really appreciate every reply. Last night I went back home and lay down that pack waiting to pass it to my brother, and vape a delicious creme de menthe like tomorrow never come lol. And yep, I think I wouldn't have problem getting back on.
Lesson learned: rules of vapers, get backup as much as you can and don't leave them at home like me

Good grief, I walk out the door with a mini set up in each front pocket, 2 eVics, a 650mah/Evod and dual cig-a-likes in the lunch box.
Plus a mini and 2 evods in a mini zip wallet in my jacket.
If I forgot all those, I'd go Vape/smokeless just as punishment for being so reckless.

Backups for you backups for your backups, that's my motto and I'm sticking to it.
I leave my house every day with just that, and I am a happy person after quitting smoking (after 38 years) for the past 3 months.
Never leave home without the backups...

Do you rattle, crxess? For gosh sake, stay away from deep water. Fall in and you'll sink like a rock.
He will pop back up when he goes off like a depth charge though
BAWOOOSH...oh look...he's back!
BAWOOOSH...oh look...he's back!
No rattles so far
Never thought about the Depth Charge thing - maybe I should keep a safe distance from our pool.
