I have my regular stuff, 4 egos, a lavatube, and revolution always charged or charging. Not really a "backup" since these are my regular use things.

As far as actual backup? 1 unopened clearo, 2 cleaned clearos, 2 replacement heads for vivinova, 2 drip mizers, pack of boge lr cartos and another pack flanged/prepunched for a tank, a bloog w/PCC and pack of 808 kangers. I don't plan on using these without buying replacements the same day.

juice backup is probably 60ml of random juice, it's not my favourite but any port in a storm. Also have unflavoured @48 with enough mix to thin down for at least a 6 month supply (~750ml).

PV backup? I have designs and parts lists to build my own if required, all have passthrough. Also have parts lists and instructions to be able to Frankenstein an atomizer if required. If I can't get power then all the chargers in the world are useless. Now that I think of it, I should look into putting together a solar powered or manual crank charger just in case.

Yes, I like to be prepared. Yes, I can be OCD. I've run out of juice, and had to wait on a charge exactly once. Never again.

If the zombie apocalypse comes though, you might need something bigger. :)

BRILLIANT!!!! I was noticing all the comments and was thinking at the time, but how many chargers do these folk have?? After all, none of it will work if your batteries are flat. (I have 3, but now I'm thinking ....solar....hmmmmm..... Heck it could save you money on all those international plugs and too-dads when you travel internationally.... :D

I'm 2 weeks into vaping and only have 2 twists haha. I'm tempted to buy a few more to tuck away for back up, will they naturally die out on me if I fully charge them and put them away? If that makes sense...

Like all batteries, they loose charge over time - some more than others. If you are keeping them for the doomsday scenario, I would charge them up every 2 weeks or so ... also get yourself a couple of chickens :)

Back during the big Y2K build up, I remember picking up extra stuff ... just in case. :) Battery manufacturers must have made a fortune that year. We had three cats at the time, and I told my ex that I had it all planned out if things got dire - the skinny one went in the stew pot first, then the old chubby one and then the really fat one who could probably survive on no rations for quite awhile. For some reason or other, my ex did not appreciate my forethought of how to best survive the complete annihilation of civilization as we knew it.
