Those who live in the path of Hurricane Erma

[DeAnna2112]

First off my prayers are with you!! So how are you guys planning on protecting your stock of vaping gear and liquids. If you evacuate what are you going to do with your stock piles, your nic in freezers? I was just curious as i watched the weather channel as this monster barrels toward you guys in it's path. I wouldn't know what to do with my stock pile and would be crapping my pants at the same time with everything else you have to worry about. You can always take your gear with you if you evacuate, but what about all of your diy liquids and nic. Some folks have reported having gallons upon gallons of this stuff.

Short term the nic will be fine un-frozen.
If we lose power, I'll use that time to de-frost the nic freezer.
20 charged batteries should give me about 10 days vaping.
So far the Keys are the only areas being evacuated.
Looks like around Miami is where it will make landfall, then traverse the east coast.
Stay safe everyone in it's path.

thank you for sharing puffon, but what are you going to do with all that nic, pg vg? that is if you stock piled the way many others have stated. maybe you haven't and your not one of those who has gallons upon gallons. But it's those that have stock piled in such a way i wonder about. If i may ask, what is your situation on stock piling? God bless you and your in my prayers friend!!!

 

[DeAnna2112]

does anyone have any suggestions on how to help them with their stock pile or anyway suggestions per say as this storm..monster..barrels down on them

I say take what you can, but worry more about yourself and family/pets.

Thanks for your prayers.
I'm staying and will be fine where I'm at, maybe power out for awhile.
People in the Miami area, are the one's I worry about.
I have 10-1/2 liters of nic that have been thawed every year, for defrosting, the last few years, without issue.
Worst case, it can all be replaced.

FYI homeowners should cover the loss if it comes to that.

Although vaping has become near and dear for some - stockpile of nic isn't worth risking your or your loved ones health or even life for.
Scram or hunker down, back to basics - food shelter clothing... then vaping....
Stay safe...

Be careful. We've already sent prayers to all in the path. Good luck, God Bless, and be safe.

we have not had to bug out (knock on wood) my nic plan is to put all of my nic canning jars in doubled gallon freezer bags and then into dedicated little ice chest,, then tape that thing shut,,,,,,,,seriously taped shut. for us its only about a gallon and a half of nic. my goal is not keeping it cold.. i just dont want any leakage or to risk any water getting near the jars. if i had too,, i would even consider pouring some in stainless steel water bottles and the freezer bags.

we went through hurricane ike and lost everything,, and no electricity for 6 weeks.

anyway,, all of you in the southeast,, hang in there, be safe. dont worry about stuff,, thats what flood insurance is for.

We're on the east coast of Fl, about half way up. Mid way between Jacksonville and Miami. We have plans to leave, either late Thursday, or Friday morning. We're watching the predicted track closely until then. Our dogs are our main concern. I'm not too worried about the sealed, unopened bottles of nic in the freezer. It should be fine. As far as vape gear, my main focus is on my wood squonkers. I have a few that are one of a kind, and quite valuable. They will all be carefully packed up and going with us. My metal squonkers (REOs) should be fine, if I leave them. About all that can happen to them is they get wet, which isn't a big deal. But I wouldn't want the wood mods to get damaged by water. So, I'll be taking those, my batteries, charger, wicking cotton, and a few bottles of juice.

Good luck to all facing this storm. Hopefully it will track farther east, but take care of yourselves and stay safe.

I hope everyone stays safe, and yes, apart from enough vaping gear to keep you going during the exodus, any damage done should be covered by your homeowners insurance, so focus on the truly irreplaceable stuff-- your own and families and pets safety. I've never been mandatorily evacuated from anywhere, and I feel very lucky about that. Hurricane season is not being kind this year.

One of the cool things about metal REO squonkers. They can survive a complete dunking. In fact, some people put them in the dishwasher, to clean them. Not so with the wood mods, however. They will be packed up, and traveling with me, if we go.

wind insurance and flood insurance cover the house.. regular insurance is usually not impacted much... its more for fire, theft or accidents.

here in Houston,, 80% of the damaged homes didn't have the right insurance. so people are expected to 'walk away' and let their homes foreclose on if donations dont make it in time to do basic repairs.

 

[kross8]

imho,, a donation to red cross = flushing $ down the drain. they have too much 'overhead',,,, donate to smaller charities that actually focus on repairs.

dont worry about food/water items (worry about baby items_).......every church shows up with water and some baked item,, then govt MRE's,,,,,,,donate to real change charities.

So sad how greed has changed the way banks and insurance companies do business over the decades. Seems like the more humanity evolves, the less successful we become at being human.
