OTR trucking and vaping?

[jralabate]

I dont know if this has been ask(if so please post a link) but here goes. I am a former trucker and I have been thinking about going back on the road again. Wut all should I have with me. Here is my set-up right now. Bolt(3.7v) with the extension so I can run 18650. I have two 18650 battery's and one 18500 battery's(I know I'll need more battery's). I have a Vivi Nova tank that I rebuild and soon I'll have a mini "DID" clone. but wut more should I have? A USB passthrough(can I use them on a car lighter adapter?)? Please help me!!!

You'll want a charger that has an automotive power port (aka - cigarette lighter) adapter like the xtar WPII 2 or the HG 1210W.

Though I have my A-1, I don't do OTR these days. This topic comes up at least once every couple of weeks so you might use the search box to learn more... It more or less boils down to the idea that your best bet will be to find a good bottom feeder. My personal tendency is to promote REO because I own a couple of and very much enjoy REO bottom feeders. However, it's worth checking out your options and I think you should visit this section of ECF.

A good feeder will mean all day juice supply and all day battery life in one device, so you won't have to mess with anything while behind the wheel.

Yup here I be sitting and trying to get loaded in Bellingham Washington. I have in front of me a tank loaded on my Provari, my Phoenix rebuildable on my silver bullet, and a Reo Grand but am out of atomizers till I get home. In my box of goodies I have about 1200ml of juice and flavorings (I mix my own). I have 9 batteries with me and designed my setup from the start to all run the same 18650 I need and my job demands LONG battery life. I mess with refilling and battery changes once a day. I carry 3 chargers for the 18650 and just get the cheap ones as inverters are hard on them. I have 15 cartomizers and enough wire and wick for my nova to do rebuilds for 30 years prob..

Basically if you have it and need it then get 3 of them. These shops are hard to find when your our size and when the mail only comes once or twice a month it gets to be interesting finding replacements. There are shops we can get into but as usual we get looked down upon for being in the parking lot. There are places we can turn to for emergencies that you may not think of like Batteries+ for chargers and batteries if you need one or two fast. If your partial to a certain flavor juice then stock up with 100ml or so. I did the 30 and 40 ml cause I will be home in 2 weeks and you can imagine I didn't get home and had to pull out some old juice that I keep for back up......

In closing its like I said if your going to need it in the next 6 weeks then take it now and have it on hand.

Maybe keep a passthrough tucked away somewhere as a lash-ditch emergency backup. Should work with one of the USB car lighter plugs. Used to charge my kgos on the road, but granted I was on a bus and never went further than raleigh (200ish miles)

And oh yea almost forgot as you will probably figure out stay out of most vape shops as they tend to jack the prices through the roof in the actual store....

Boy....does truck driving bring back the memories. When I got out of the Marine Corps in the early 90s, I decided to go to truck driving school and get my Class A. After that, I did some Tomato runs for a few months, then did some local and eventually settled in with running aggregate for a few years.

Love my VV Reo Grand! A 6ml bottle built in & 2 18350 batteries will last me 2 days. It used to suck swerving my semi all over the place trying to top off carto's or dripping on an atty!! This thing is a trucker's dream!

I Jane a reg Reo Grand and use 3100mah 18650's and love it.....nothing compares



Of course I'm a right wing nut job.....I believe in personal responsibility, NOT government responsibility...
