Lesson learned the hard way

[trevorsdad]

Just a little bit of advice for new vapers. You might be able to learn from my mistake yesterday.

A quick note about my setup since it will help you understand. I am using an eGo Twist 1000 mah with Vision Clearomizers V3. I usually only carry the battery with the clearomizer attached when I go to work. It is just easy to grab and go. Today as I pull into work and get out of the car with the eGo in my hand, it catches on the steering wheel and the top snaps off right under the metal ring. I said a few choice words and even made up a few. I had 5 minutes to get into work and my drive home would have been over an hour round trip. So here I was with no way to vape for the day. I bummed an analog from a friend. After a few puffs I almost had an involuntary protein spill. Going eight hours with no nicotine and no vape did not make me a very happy person to be around.

Lesson learned is to always carry backups. I now carry 2 clearomizers, spare battery, charger, and spare juice. Hopefully this wasn't TLDR and will help someone out in the future.

Forgot a backup for your backup.

Saturday night at work my 1000mah Twist ran out of power. No worries, grabbed my second one. It didn't work, turns out my second charger isn't working. Thankfully, I also had a standard 650mah eGo in my case. Saved my bacon. Also, I carry to extra tanks. Just in case.

Ah, Always Have a Back-Up lesson. Yes, it is typically learned the hard way. I upgraded from a 1000 mAh eGo-T to a Kgo VV, but I ditched the clearomizer tank system. Like I said before, those always crapped out on me. I exclusively drip now. Also learned that LR 510 (within 1.5-1.8 Ohms) work best on my Kgo. They worked great on my eGo-T, too.

Of course, with dripping comes atty anxiety. It's like driving a car that could break down at any time. Right now I'm getting awesome vapes, but LR attys are notorious for popping. I've gotta work an extra shift to get enough tips to order a good three, four, or five spare attys!

Forgot to say I've only had one Joyetech atty go dead on me, but it was my own fault, not the actual product failing.

 

[hrlw817]

I keep an old cig look a like(21st Century) at work with the little USB charger and a small bottle of juice in my locker in case my eGo system fails. That includes: dead batteries, broken atty's or non firing clearos. I also keep the same look a like ecig in my car, with a USB charger. Once I get a few more Stardusts, I am going to keep one at work and one in the car.

Best new member quote of the day!

 

[Rocketpunk]

What is a protein spill, exactly?

EDIT: Nevermind, I don't think I want to know.

 

[ShogaNinja]

2 ecigs isn't a backup, 3+ are.

If you have 2 and you lose one then you have one and you shouldn't ever charge your batteries unattended (so doing it while you sleep is out). This leaves you 3 hours a day without vaping. NOT a backup.

Have 3 ecigs, 2 chargers, an array of atomizers (of multiple types), and juices.
Lesson learned indeed. Sorry, I know how bad that sucks. Cigs are nasty.

[iskandar.ali]

Must be hard not being able to vape the whole day...... ive been ther

 

[iamme123]

got have back ups and back ups for the back ups backing up the back ups, with back ups for them too. this is really more a comment used to squeeze the words back up out as times as i can back up back up back up back up lololol

 

[Aoi~]

I keep an unopened Blu-cig disposable in the car, just in case... It's bad, but yknow, still taste better than cigarettes at this point. I walked about all day today with just a gripper, a couple 18350 in a battery case in the car, and a carto tank setup. I should know better but /shrug, sometimes you just gotta brave it to shave clutter.

 

[CSH65]

I'm lucky. The e-cig store is right across the street from my office.

 

[Hulamoon]

but but I don't see involuntary protei....... There's only one answer longer than that one and that's to the question "what should I use...clearo's carts, tanks or atties?"

 

[hrlw817]

2 backups work just fine for me, thanks.

Proper Preparation Prevents Praying to the Porcelain.

 

[tj99959]

Hell, I take a back-up with me when I'm just going to the vape store.

 

[DancingHeretik]

I keep an unopened Blu-cig disposable in the car, just in case...

My car is sitting in uncovered parking while I'm at work. I once left a mod and juices in the glove compartment while I was working. They were warm enough to the touch when I got back to the car that I haven't dared to leave anything in the car since.

I might dare to in better weather, when it's not too hot or too cold out. But, even then, batteries don't last forever even when not used. You would need to replace whatever you keep in the car as spare once every few months just to be safe. Otherwise, your back-up would likely not be any use when it came down to it.

I just carry spare supplies on me every day.

I'm lucky. The e-cig store is right across the street from my office.

Very nice. Maybe I should scope out places to buy spares in advance. No, I'm far more likely to be able to carry spares than to have time and money to pick up back-ups at the last minute.

I'm one of those old ladies that always carries emergency supplies, just like my grandmother did before me. Always need to carry a purse so I can carry bandaids, tweezers, tissues, cough drops, etc. besides the usual keys, wallet, and such.

 

[Swampey65]

3 is 2.

2 is 1.

1 is none.

Words to live by. I too have found out the hard way...

 

[Rocketpunk]

Holy crap, this sounds like The Batman's School For Vaping.

Plans within plans within plans with back-up plans within back-up plans within back-up plans.

Comment if you're a comic book nerd and you get the reference.

 

[cerver7]

its also nice that 7/11's and other stores are carrying disposables now, so thats always an option too i guess.
