I've been vaping for a mere 4 months now. I've finally gotten several friends to stick to it for over 2 weeks now, but the variety of approaches has me wondering. What kind of back ups do you carry with you? I'm not talking about what awaits you at home. I'm talking what you walk out the door with every morning to guarantee you still have the ability to still be vaping at the wattage you left the house with when you get back home.

Maybe I've spent too much time reading reviews of what can go wrong, but I carry a back-up mod cap (madvapes Maxi RS), 2 back-up atties, and 2 spare sets of batteries.:2cool:

You are way ahead of me, I'm only at one month but learned the hard way about what I need to carry. I now only will leave the house with 2 fully charged batteries and 4 loaded cartos. I had to resort to an analog when my new carto was a dud, and it was awful, I hated it I'll never leave home again without backups. But then, I'm usually only away from my home office for 4 or 5 hours. You can never have too many back ups!

1 x 5v box mod with a spare set of 14500's fully charged.
1 x 510N (prior to my Riva dying it was a Riva) for backup.

Somewhere between 5 and 10ml of juice, though depending on the amount of flavours I am pumping through.. it may be more than this.

It really depends on where I am going though.. if it's just a short trip to the shops I might only take my 5v box mod..

Now that I have the Liquinator tank, I just keep a spare pre-cut cartomiser in my pocket and make sure the liquinator has plenty of juice. The backup 510N, if I have it with me, will have a filled XL Dual Coil cartomiser on it.

When I go overseas, like for a month, I take A LOT more than that :)

That's the trick! With analogs, I live 2 minutes away from a store selling them 24/7. Now that I am vaping and have nothing local, the delay from wanting to getting is several days. I am so paranoid about something failing that I catch myself leaving the house with 4+ levels of back-up. Thank goodness I'm an open minded kind of guy, because I'm half a step from needing a purse to carry all this stuff.:laugh:

Heading off to work in the morning, I grab my ego, set up with an atomizer/tank. I usually (not always) fill it just before going to bed so it's ready. And I grab a cigar box that has "stuff" in it.

1 bottle of juice. 1 extra atomizer and several extra tanks. 1 box of cartomizers. (I don't normally use cartomizers, but that's part of the back up system - I can fill them and use them if needed.)

Right now, I'm not carrying an extra battery, or any kind of charger. I plan to get a car charger which will stay in the car, and a regular charger that will go in the cigar box.

My major worry is that I will set the vaporizer down and simply not know where I left it. (Or possibly, in a bar, have someone walk off with it. I go dancing a lot, I leave it on the table, so that could happen.) Since I don't have an extra battery in the cigar box, I'd be screwed.

When I get a passthrough battery, it'll be my "main" battery, and I'll start carrying one of my regular ego 1000 bat's in the box as a backup.

The cigar box doesn't leave the car except at home. When I go in someplace, I just take the ego T. If I need any of the backup stuff, I'll go back out to the car.

A lot! But it all fits in a flat 7x7 woven cross-shoulder pouch with a deep outer zipper pocket

Assembled 510 manual w/ Boge carto
Assembled KR808D-1 manual (standard aka 78mm size) w/ carto
Both of the above have 510/901/KR8 plastic or delrin drip tip as a mouthpiece

NoSmokeVA roomy 510 PCC containing a charged 510 battery, a charged KR808D-1 battery in the non-charging slot (fits there, cannot charge them) and 6 assorted filled cartos (Boge 510 and KR808D-1 Vapor4Life WOW cartos)

One charged Riva 510 750mah battery in a cloth-covered Chinese lipstick case (I wrap something around the battery's middle to keep the button away from the inner walls of the box)

3 5-10ml bottles and a couple of 3ml bottles of juice

An unbent paperclip
A spare new drip tip in case a friend asks to try my ecig (any of them)

My name is mrkipp and I'm a vapeaholic.

I crossed the line a couple of months ago and bought a second hand woman's "clutch" or wallet type thingy (don't know what you call it, I am still a dude in all other regards). It currently contains 4 ce2 cartomizers, a back up box mod, a 30ml bottle of my all day vape, two syringes for filling, four 14500 mod batteries, and a bent paperclip for pulling caps off cartos. It really dosen't look that femenine as it's like black canvass and matches my laptop bag in which it is kept. I worry more that folks will think it's my kit for heroine when I fold it open and pull out a syringe.

My Darwin, a couple spare atomizers and a bottle or two of nicquid.

I :wub: my Darwin...

That was easy :ohmy: I also take my darwin with me and usually a dual coil carto with a 306 in my pocket in case the carto kicks the bucket :D The darwin would last for a few days if you were stranded in the wilderness... and give a consistent hit :p

1. Fully charged KR808 with filled carto.
2. A small pocket-size case containing 4 fully charged KR808 102mm batteries and 6 filled cartos. It can also fit a 5ml bottle.
3. Another case about 5" x 3.5" x 2" nylon case containing a wall charger, a car charger and one or two 5ml juice bottles. If I get around to getting a KR808 adapter, I think I can fit a Go-Go battery in here too. This usually stays in the car or in my laptop bag.
