When I got started, I never left the house without 2 batteries, a charger, 4-6 bottles of juice, and 5 clearomizers! Now I've realized that I can get away with one battery, charge it after lunch at work, three clearos of different flavors, and 10 ml bottles to refill two of them if need be. It all fits into my little case, so it doesn't cause me much problems anymore.

i have an extra 650 twist and a t-3 in sunglass case in the glove box of the car. I tossed in a little extra juice and a couple coils as well. They just live there and i just carry my 800 ItazteVV/VW with a pro Tank on it. That has never let me down. good to go all day.... I do have an extra charger at my desk in the office. Have never used it..

I might be the worst overpreparer there is but with my job I could go out on a 2 hour job and end up having to drive 12 hours and stay somewhere overnight for days waiting on parts. Here is what I take with me every time I leave the house for work:

2x provari's with 4 extra batteries
3x 1300MaH Vision spinners
5x protanks filled with different juices
1 bottle of juice, usually Dragon's Fire
an ego usb charger

Luckily for me this all fits into a nice little case I got from MaxPedition

I have backed mine down to the bare essentials. Plus I live like 15min from work, so worst case I run home...

I bring 1-2 backup batteries (a 18500 usually lasts me 2 days, a 18650 3+) for my sigelei, a couple qtips, and 3-4 clearos with atleast 50% full of juice.
Lately i've been making sure my two ADV's are mostly full (MBV's white tea and standard vape's CB4) but I generally only go through 1-2mls of juice with around 1ml max at work. then 1-2-3 clearos with juice i'm sampling or on the fence about.....

I was the person who always had extra lighters and always had atleast 1/2pk more cigs than I needed to get through the day. I usually bought more before I cracked into my last pack.

I'm a very unpleasant person without nic. I have a fairly addictive personality it seems. long as I have "enough" i'm fine. if i'm worried....well, I can't focus and i'm all jittery and moody.

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 feel your pain man. i always have at least 4 batts, 2-3 extra tanks, a second mod and some juice in my ego pouch at all times.

I leave the house with my mvp and a full protank(i fill it when i charge it at night). In my ego case i have 1-2 more protanks a standard ego battery and 2 or 3 10-15ml bottles of juice. That way i have a back up and i can switch to another flavor if i feel like it. I ahve not really needed the back up battery thankfully so i end up useing it once a week or so to drain it down and charge it. I chain vape. I have no urges to go back to the stinkys, but i do not want to be tempted ever.

I take way too much stuff with me to work 3 provri's a telemax or a mech my dna20 or a VV Reo, 3 u-cans and a few needle bottles extra heads for the protanks a 5 pack of carto because you just never know when you might need a carto, extra batteries for each. my purse is ridiculously heavy and the funny thing about it is that I live 15 mins from work and I have one of those jobs where I can leave when ever if I had to run home.

Around December or January I didn't take a backup, and ended up smoking half a cig. Now I always take at least 2 eGo 900 mah. A couple of filled carto tanks, a couple regular cartos, and 2 bottles of juice. Also, a couple of cig-likes sometimes too. If I was working full time it would probably be about the same as Baditude lol. More than a few times I had been stressed at work, and would end up chewing *and* smoking at the same time.

I almost always have my Tesla, one or two charged 18650s, my MVP, a couple of protanks, a 5 pack of replacement heads and 2 30ml bottles of juice. If know I'm going to be away from home, I have a Nitecore i2 that I throw in my bag. I just don't see any reason to carry much more than that, as it's enough to keep me vaping for about 10 days... :)

I carry an ego case with me with 4 or 5 different tanks of juice of varying flavors. I also have a back up battery. I often times get bored with a juice and want to switch to something else for awhile.

Better to have and not need than to need and not have. Pertains to many things I always carry with me besides juice!

Howdy folks....
On the go (work or otherwise)
Smoktec natural with AGA-T or RSST
Sigelei 19E with AGA-Titanium (heavily Modded)
Back up AGA-T
Assortment of tools (screwdriver, syringe, Q-tips..ect)
7 Random juices (15ml to 30 ml bottles)
Phoenix Dripping atomizer
12" 30 guage wire (and wire clippers)
2x pre-done SS wicks
6x 18650 batteries (fully charged)

I won't even get in to what I take to a vape meet, lets say that it won't fit in to a tackle box easily. But yah, I over prepair but never had an instance I couldn't fix it on the road or go. I've learned though for those of you who like to do camping or around nature a lot, Mechanical mods are your friends..aside from lossing a battery should it get drenched or whatever, the mod works and most of the time repairs are readily quick.
Nail clippers, not just for toes....I can't stress how useful they are for people that run Genisis atomizers, and as long as the wire isn't too thick it will snip through it no problem.

I'm loving hearing that I am not alone on the over preparation. Pretty soon some of us will be bringing a PV and a back up PV with us when we walk to the mailbox to get our back-up to our back-up that was just delivered.

I would love to see someone come out with a good carrying case for all us vape prepers out there. I was thinking something like those softop case logic cases that I used in the "good-old days" when people used these things called CDs.

When I leave for work I take my Mini Reo and the Vamo with a Protank stays in the car. I also have a little box with 2 extra 3ml bottles full for the Reo, extra 18490, a couple bottles of juice, some wick/wire and napkins. On average I vape 6ml a day but on a bad day I'll vape 10ml before I even get home so yeah I'm prepared for a 3-4 day venture or at least a late night of drinking after work(which never happens) but, hey you never know right.
