What is your backup equipment?

[williamclarkonet]

I wanted to know what everyone uses when your main vaping equipment fails. What is your back-up MOD, tank, juice etc.. I currently use my Aspire Nautilus Full Size on my iStick 50w but I have an MVP 2 and Protank 3 mini as my back-up. I have several more but this will be what I turn to first.

 

[paulparnham]

I use sigelei 100w plus or a hybrid top cap mech as my go to devices.
I use a yosen zero v2 or an ipv mini 70w as a back up.
I only use drippers not tanks

If I like something I tend to double, triple and even quadruple my arsenal, authentic kit if possible/available, but also clones.

Many on this forum do the same methinks, a mix of, collectors, *paranoid*-vapocalypsers, obsessions & ofc bling and dat swag.
So, never a need for a backup really

 

[dbrandt01]

Not really backups technically, I have a hexohm 2.1 with twisted messes rda, iStick 50w and Reo Grand and Odin. I use all three throughout the day, so i doubt all three would fail at the same time.

Not necessarily "backup", but redundancy. From an IT perspective, this is known as load balancing and fail over.

And, if these were to go down, I have others.

Heh, you guys are going to hate me for saying this, but my backup equipment is my old ego style pen and a protank 3 mini

No worries. As long as you have some gear to fall back on other than a pack of smokes, it's all good!

 

[opticruby]

I can always find something to vape on as I've got load and loads of gear but if everything was to all go wrong, there is my mvp 2.0 and aerotank. No lung hits but it'd be something to vape at least.

 

[DingerCPA]

I rotate among iSticks (30 & 50) and iPV Mini/Mini2. I have (as @inswva phrases it) "redundancy" with my tanks (I tend to buy multiples of something, if it was decently priced and I like it.) Still have one of my VV3s and MVP2s and an eGo Twist along with all my EVOD tanks. Picked up a mech a couple of months ago - mostly for vapocalypse purposes.

 

[DanJiblets]

I use all 4 of my 5. The istick 50 just sits in my pouch just in case. I like it, works just as well as my others, it's just boring looking.

 

[WillyZee]

a bunch of Provaris topped with Kayfuns and a ton of DIY eLiquid.

I am prepared for the worst

 

[jseah]

Don't really have backups per se. I have six mods with six tanks on them, all loaded up with different juice.

white Subox Mini
evic-VT with Atlantis 2
SX Mini with Subtank Mini
rDNA40 with Atlantis 2
IPV4 with Subtank Mini
MVP 3 Pro with Atlantis 1

My "backups" (the one that are available but not currently in use) is an iStick 50 and an Aspire CF Subohm battery.

There is no need for a backup to be the fanciest or best vape on the planet. It just needs to work if all else fails.

In the past I found that when I'm sorting out something new, or trying to fix something that went south, I was best served by having a no hassle simple vape handy.

So I pretty much use the same philosophy for both.
Which is most likely just a 2 ohm carto tank sitting on top of a 3.7v battery.

I have a small collection of discounted and outdated low wattage tube mods.

I bought an overpriced SMOKTech SID at a B&M to get started.

Decided I liked the form factor. Bought 2 more on clearance. One, from 3AVape, I suspect is a counterfeit but it still works.

Then I got a Sigelei ZMax V5 on clearance.

Then, on AndriaD's advisement, I got a SMOK Galileo & 2 Kicks on clearance. (So I could say I had a mech and was ready for vape-ocalypse)

For variety, I got a Cloupor Mini off our classifieds.

And today, I ordered four Sigelei ZMax V1's on clearance for the ridiculous price of $5 each.

With now 9 "backups, I'm just a little disappointed that unit number 1 just refuses to break!

All the others are tested, stored and lonely.

One of the V1's will go in the work truck glove box and, if I ever get around to learning about my Lemo, it will go on the Mini as my desktop web-surfing mod.

I have three mods and six RTA's. The RTA's are identical (see my avatar). I just ordered an ohm tester as a backup for my Vamo. I rotate among all my devices, and if any one of them fails, I will still be a happy vaper.

 

[Cool-breeze]

My back up is a Reo w/rm2.

 

[WattWick]

At a certain point, everything becomes a backup for a backup. I only start freaking out if I'm down to two working setups.

 

[suprtrkr]

I have a number of mechanical mods, there's usually one hanging around if I should happen to need it. My main tanks are Foggers, but I have several Kayfun types, too, and I just ordered a Lemo, even though I prefer dual coils. I'm looking to find The Proverbial World's Greatest Top Fill RTA Tank. (I'll probably have to build it.) I also use an iTaste VTR VV/VW mod with an iClear 30s tank set; the shrouded tank is handy for carrying in the pocket, albeit I think the vape a tad anemic at 15w. And I carry a charged up iTaste VV 3.0 in the car kit, with a Kanger pro-tank and some spare coils, just in case. I have an iTaste SVD VV/VW mod, a number of eGo VV batteries and all kinds of replaceable-coil tanks-- Kangers, Anyvape Davide's, at least one Aspire-- I started with. I suppose I should put them up in the classifieds. It's all good gear, and I paid full retail for brand names. It's just not where my vape is any more. But somebody who likes being in that area could get good use from them.

 

[JulesXsmokr]

I figure I'd get 6 mos. of daily use from a device, be it a battery or topper. My backups should me for about 15 more years. I don't remember all the fancy names they have. I've slowed down on buying a new backup piece to every 3 or 4 months now. Sorry venders !

 

[RandyF]

I wouldn't call any of them back-ups really, they all get into the rotation. With the exception of the Sig 150, at least 2 accompany me to work everyday.
