PCC or Nicostick or ... ?

[UberDuper]

I have a 4 day trip coming up where I'll spend the majority of my time outdoors or in areas without easy/secure access to electrical outlets.
There will be lots of smokers doing lots of smoking. I intend to do lots of vaping. I'm trying to decide what would work best for making the fewest trips back to my room to swap batteries. A PCC and some extra standard batteries or a nicostick mod with a handful of extra 14500's.

I am going for cheap here. Whatever I end up with will likely not get used very much after this trip. Overall I think the nicostick and extra batteries would be the cheaper way to go. Other big battery mods are just too expensive for me right now and likely wouldn't get to me in time. If I were gonna spend that kind of money on a mod it'd be a juice box.

So what do you guys think? I'm open to other suggestions as well.

Thanks,
UD.

I decided to go with the nicostick. Placed an order for parts to build both a 1xAA box and a 2xAA box. 4 14500s and a charger. All for ~$45 shipped. The single AA size box will be my primary and the double a backup incase the 50mA switch in the single fails. Someday, probably after the 2nd or 3rd switch failure, I'll add a relay to the single AA box.

2 14500s should be more then enough to get me through a full day and a long night of booze and smokes.

I guess these will get used quite a bit after this trip. I've had it with the little stock 510 batteries.
