OK-Here's the situation. I was given a very nice MV Sidesho kit by a wonderful person on this forum-and I love it. Had not smoked for two days at all after getting it.

Due to what I assume to be either a defective battery or usb charger (Not sure which was the issue-threw both out) I have 1st and second degree burns on my right hand-and lucky I didn't burn my house down. Shoulda stuck with pcc........which is now damaged and only charges remaining battery when plugged in(I was stupid and tried to charge the burning battery after it cooled off-i'm a dumbass).

Anyway, needless to say with only one battery left (I gave original PV to a close friend) I am no longer analog free. I smoke while charging. I have a VERY limited budget next week for buying anything at all-much less pv related, and am stuck on what to get. I can't afford another PCC for sure, as my budget is about $35 with shipping, and whatever I do I would like it to be here asap-but can't order till Tuesday at earliest, as pay not in till then:(.

Now-here are my choices-and suggestions are MORE than welcome, but please-no "buy an ego" because even if I was willing it does not fall in budget-that is firm.

I can buy 2 manual batteries and usb charger for my sidesho. I am reluctant to do this due to burn, though-I will def. eventually buy a new batt/pcc or possibly wall charger, not sure if this is the fastest/easiest way to go, as have heard both good and bad of mv shipping.

I can find a cheap, but decent kit-leaning towards this one: Kr808d-1 starter kit: kr808d-1 cartomizers, kr808d battery and more! Kr808d-1 kit from LiteCigUSA! as it is fairly cheap, but only comes with one carto...refillable, but still, was told they have amazing shipping time.

Can buy disposables, heard both good and bad about them-hate this option most, as I don't like disposable anything.

Or I can take advice from people here if you have any other ideas or suggestions...so if you have a suggestion, would like to hear it:) Analogs suck-lol-choking on one now.

oh my! I'm sorry to hear about your accident- yikes! I hope that you're doing ok. I don't know anything about the sideshow, but I started with a manual kr808d-1 (I now use a riva and smokestik too). Kr8's are nice little workhorses, and i still use mine. I'd be wary about getting more components for something that injured me- but i don't know the circumstances-or whether your sidesho stuff is compatible. one kr8 carto isn't going to be enough- even if you have juice.

You might also want to check out the PIF subforum- it's a great place if you need a bit of assistance and you can pay it forward when you're in a position to do so.

Eh-fairly certain it was an off-brand usb charger that caused it from talking to their customer service. Sidesho isn't really compatible with anything as far as I know-lol-will have to buy any parts directly from modern vapor.

Tried PIF, but I think everyone that has extra batteries loves them, or it's a fairly rare brand as noone seems to have them. Can't do a whole lot with PIF cause noone has compatible stuff, so really-unless I beg for a full kit or something that's out. And I don't wanna do that-I hated asking for this one, but needed it to help with a friend:)

Ok. Here's what I'd do if I were you.

Go to AltSmoke.com. They're having a Kr808D-1 clear-out. You can get 2 manual batteries and 5 cartomizers for $21, and the shipping is $2.50. You've got $23.50 as a total.

Now, go to WordUpEcig.com. They have free shipping on all orders. You can get a Universal USB charger that will work with the Kr808D-1 for $7.

Total: $30.50.

Universal USB charger

That is the cheapest way to do it I could find.

How are you doing for juice?
