First story about our trip.
You know how we always say make sure you have backups for your backups - believe me you need to follow that rule. We were in an area that it would have been a 12 hour trip through various forms of transportation to find the parts of civilization that knew what ecigs were.
I took 3 devices and had extra everything. Two devices died/were destroyed - turns out Vamos do not hold up well when dropped from the back of a motorcycle speeding down the road. The next device just fried the chip and beyond that do not know what went wrong, but my last device with some assistance from some plastic wrap (to hard to explain) and epoxy glue survived until I dropped it in the trash upon my trip home - just to let you know - it was my old (4.5yrs old) Joyetech Ego that survived the trip - well- kind of survived...
Juice - this was the hard one to plan. I had some left in the Philippines from last years trip, but I did not want to count on it for use in case it went bad - so - I mixed one 30ml bottle for each week of my trip and one extra bottle for good measure - 10 bottles in all - well surprise surprise surprise - when I got to the Philippines I only had 6 bottles - four were left on my dresser to be put in my backpack as part of my carry on luggage, but dumb old me forgot... Luckily the old juice that I had left in the Philippines was still vapable - a little dark and peppery, but still vapable...
So when you are headed out the door for a long trip - double up on all of what you thought you needed to take and double check it all before you walk out the door - I got lucky and will not get caught like that again...
But I did have enough backups and juice (sort of)... And I did survive...
