need advice on best PCC/kit for three day backpacking trip

[yogisd]

Hi Everyone, I tried to search this but came up empty. I am looking for the best 510 compatible PCC kit to take hiking for three days in Yosemite back country. I can invest in something new for this trip under the 75 dollar range so please let me know what you think would be best.
I use 510 SR boge cartomizers. I use two very mini batteries and one ego medium size, I think around 650 mah. So I can get a new kit or stick with something compatible with these.
I was considering buying an ego mini kit with pcc is this possible?
I was considering getting something similar to an evic or eroll but was worried about back country maintenance so i thought it would be better to stick to cartos. Does anyone have back country e-cig experience?
I have taken my current set up camping and it lasted two days fine with no charging. This was car camping though and I had access to a car charger if needed, my next trip will be a day longer and have no electric anything.
So back country vapers let me know how you do it with no power I am in 6 months into vaping and really excited to enjoys my favorite activities smoke free.
Also I will be camping in the days before so I will only really have my usb double car charger to power up a pcc from my car.. can this happen?

It's not a pcc but I would check out a cheep mechanical mod ($35-$45) and three or four 18650 batteries ($7-$10 each). One 18650 will last me all day so four should get you through with no problem. But take what you already have for a backup.

Hi

There is a PCC for eGos: Joyetech eGo Portable Charger Case (PCC)

but personally, if I was going out like that I would take something inexpensive (in case something happened to it) that had removable batteries. Maybe something like a Gripper: Gripper

This one would probably last you a while
Cylapex VV-PCCP (CYPXVVPCCP)

but if you are looking for something to charge your CIGs, then try this one - it lets you cook your meal and charge your stuff at the same time
BioLite CampStove - BioLite Stove

I have seen a solar panel powered PCC before (sorry can't find a link for one atm). It was $50 so that might be within your budget even with shipping. It could charge ego batts / 510s

thanks for the advice!!!

I don't think there is any device besides one of the huge 22000 battery mods that will last a full 3 days. For under 75$ you can buy a couple of ego twist or vv and a battery charger with a usb plugin very easily. Hope the trip goes well!

Back Country Camping. Now that's what I'm Talking About. Right On.

There are many e-Cigarette PCC's out there. For me though, I wanted something More Versatile and something that had more mAh.

So I bought an External Laptop Battery that had USB Out. It has 9,800 mAh @ 5 Volts

It was enough to Charge my eGo everyday as well as my Cell Phone and a Buddy's GPS.

Do you have one of these?

I have seen them and would love to know if Anyone has Actually tried it?

BTW - Beware of mAh claims on Inexpensive PCC's or Inexpensive External Batteries. Many times the Numbers are Grossly Over Estimated.

Also, be sure to read the Fine Print on a Solar Charger. Many times the it will say that it will charge a Cell Phone in 4 Hours under "Ideal Conditions".

Ideal Conditions means you have the Solar Array on a Satellite in Low Geocentric Orbit around the Sun during a Solar Flare.

The Charging Time on Earth may be much, Much, MUCH Longer.

I live in hurricane country where long power failures happen. I picked up a $25 solar charger that charges USB devices (my ego, cell phone etc). Its small and light and so far is working great.

Edit: I just leave the charger on the coffee table which isn't even direct sunlight.

How about an iTaste MVP? Has a 2,600 mAh battery.

Vamo with 4 18650's and you will be set. Inexpensive and 4+ days of power

Got a Anker Astro3 10000mAh as a back up to a Nexus 7. Have been testing it on charging 18490 batteries and is down to 1/2 capacity after charging twice. Have used on the eGo twist also with good results. For $50.00, comes with all kinds of adapters and have not found any thing yet it won't charge, except for old Grundig, but it's more the radios fault. Has 2 USB charging ports and will charge at 9v and 12v.
As far as camp stoves, have a WoodGas CampStoveXL that works off of 2 AA's and thanks to this thread, the Anker powers that also.
Kinda big for backpacking, but fine for canoing.


Forgot to add that the Anker shuts off when batteries are fully charged.

2600mAh Flash Charger for Cell Phones and Tablets - Assorted Colors | nomorerack.com

for 12 bucks i am going to try it out and see..let you know how it works out, my ego lasts all day even chain vaping without charging at 650mah.. so hoping this will work fine so if i could charge it daily i would be fine for three days
