I don't know about you, but I am always worried about running out of battery life or juice or not knowing what flavor I will feel like when I leave my house. I tend to bring everything I can when I go to work, and when I go out to a bar or restaurant my pockets are filled with backups like I'm running a vape shop out of my pockets.

The crazy thing is, I end up hardly vaping outside of my house, yet I'm always prepared for an apocalypse when I go out. Anyone else have this problem?

I don't go anywhere without at least one mod and two cartotanks in my pockets, usually my Mini Provari; and more often than not also bringing my Vmod bottom feeder mod with me, too. I also make sure I have an appropriate sized battery in a safe plastic box in my pocket.

For work, I usually have half of all my vape gear with me. This means 3 - 4 mods, spare batteries for all, and several cartotanks full of juice. I have a Swiss Gear mini-laptop carrying case with a shoulder strap that everything fits nicely in and fits in my personal work locker.

It's not so much about just being prepared, but that I like variety and options at a moments notice. For example, it's so much easier to just switch between two mods while driving, than to try to change tanks for one mod while at a stop light. And who hasn't been caught out of the house with one tank and the carto or clearo suddenly clogs up and is impossible to vape?

I used to bring most of my active gear with me most of the time. Then I stopped.

What changed? I found myself having to dip into my backup once, and it lasted the whole day with battery and juice to spare. It wasn't until I actually had to use "Plan B" that I realized just how over-prepared I was. Now it's a lot easier to convince myself that I'll be ok.

I'm REALLY overprepared when I go to work
my 8500 mah usb/ego
my 6600 mah usb/ego
two spinners
two twists
7 juice devices with different juices which I put in a Plano tackle box with spare q-tips, pipe cleaners, adapters, etc.
1 to 4 bottles of juice in case one of the ones I really like that day runs out. (which I put in another sealable container.
charging cords for my batteries. 1 for the spinners/twists and 1 for the big guns.

I put these with my iPad in my laptop case.

the 8500 lasts me about 3.5 days - the 6600 about 2 to 3 days.
do I need all this? no. do I want to bring them anyway? yes.

I am trying to be right prepared. Not over, not under, maybe just 20% more than I think I will want.

If I am going to be doing something physical that might call for two devices, one for when there is a lot of movement and the other when I can vape comfortably.

A quick 30 minute trip and I want to move fast, get where I am going, and get back I am taking a small device.

When I am glued to the desk I am loaded for bear. I will be doing 200 miles on a bike in a month and they I will have a bag full of hands free devices with two compartments, one for the depleted units and one for the full ones.

Compared to you all I under prepare. I'm gone from the house 3 to 5 days at a time, out 5 to 6 days total. I take 1 mod (provari) , 4 18650 batts, 4 cart tanks, 3 flavors of at least 10 ml each, and a charger. Sometimes I bring an extra carto. I use to bring egos and an evod as a back up with an ego charged . but I didn't use them and space is limited with 2 ppl living out of an 18 wheeler. O figure if the worst happens I can get cig-a-likes at all truck stops. Shrug
