What should I do?

[Makeup_Junkie]

Hey everyone. I'm a newbie (both to the forum and to vaping) and I need some advice. I'm running REALLY low on some juice I have and won't be getting a shipment in until wednesday or maybe even Thursday. I only have enough juice to last me until today. Now I have a backup plan... I have the Blu e-cigs but they don't give me the TH I get from my ego line. I'm afraid that in the two days I won't have any juice, I may go back to real cigarettes and I don't want that. It's already been a month since I've been smoke free and I don't want to screw that up. So my question is, what should I do when I eventually run out of juice? The Blu e-cigs give me the nicotine but not the satisfaction of the TH which is what turned me off of that brand.

So, should I suck it up and use my Blu the next couple of days? Should I try and take breaks and ration out my remaining juice until my new juice comes? What would you do in my situation?

If list your location there may be a brics and mortar nearby.

Have you looked around your town for any vape shops? You might google to find one, or call some smoke shops and head shops and see if any of them carry juice. I've got a couple emergency shops here I go to if need be. I'd also suggest to order twice as much as you think you'll need at any time. I have around 200ml of juice right now (wish I could PM you some), and plan on ordering more today.

Good luck. Maybe someone here would be able to hook you up if you're in close proximity, you never know.

Out of Juice - ouch
I can't help on non-juice emergency replacement, but let me offer this for the future

Buying premixed flavors are fine for many people, BUT

I am a BIG fan of DIY (do it yourself).
Advantages are controlled nicotine mg (start high and go low), controlled VG/PG mix, and cost effective.
I started with 36mg nic mix and I am now at 10mg
Buying a variety of flavors until you find your favorite few
I recommend a E-juice Calculator (Google it)

Thanks for all the info. I'm way too new to the vaping world to do DIY but I will take all your info into account. I just bought a ton of juice so this doesn't happen again. I just have to wait a couple of days :outs:: lol. But thank you for all your info. When I eventually get around to DIY, I will definitely look back to your reply.

I've called some smoke shops in my area but they don't carry any juice. I haven't gotten around to updating my profile but I live in Las Vegas, NV. Anyone in this area that could hook me up with 3-6 ml of juice? I'm more than willing to pay.

 

[Makeup_Junkie]

Scratch that, everyone. I googled vape shops in Las Vegas and found one so my problem has been solved. I didn't even know they had vape shops in town! You live and learn, right? Thank you all for your help!

 

[Cuando]

Awesome, glad you found someone.

 

[Meggalette]

Glad you found some local juice. Running out of juice is just as stressful as looking into your cigarette pack and seeing less than 5 knowing you won't be able to get more until the next day. Great job on one month smoke free. I only had to run out of juice once, and I never let it happen again!

Blu cartos should screw onto your ego battery...

 

[-VapoHolic-]

Yeah ive been in this situation before, never a good one. When I was low I would ration how many times I vaped throughout the day to try and conserve. Now that I have a go to juice I make sure I order more when its about half low so i'm set until the new batch arrives. I also have a few juices I never use just cause i'm not a fan of them, but in an emergency I would probably vape em.

Over time, your collection will grow, and you'll have a small stash of these juices you thought sounded good and didn't turn out that way, but you don't want to toss them. They get you through in a bind Just wait, your collection will be there soon.

**Edit** another idea, buy from a vendor who sends free samples. Order your choice juice as normal, then pick something different for the freebie. Set the freebie aside for these situations, and who knows, when you need them, you may find a new favorite! I actually had this happen to me.

 

[Makeup_Junkie]

Thank you to all that responded. A special thanks to Cuando for suggesting looking into vape shops in my area. I didn't even know those existed since e-cigs are still a fairly new idea even though they've been around for almost a decade. Also, thanks to Meggalette for the congrats. It's been so nice (and fun) vaping as opposed to smoking. Best part? I don't smell like crap anymore! Anyway, thanks again to all of those who responded!

I take it you found Pink Spot.?.....If not, they are in Vegas and have great flavors!!
And welcome to ECF.

 

[Pappy]

Pink Spot Vapors is one of the well respected vendors on this forum. You're lucky to have them in your city - quality juice at your fingertips.

 

[atila]

Check Craigslist.There is always someone selling electronic cigarettes and usually they have some juice for sale too.

 

[Makeup_Junkie]

Actually, it was Sin City Vapors. But I'm glad I now know of another place in town! Thank you everyone

 

[Krynamama2lnb]

I don't know where you live in Vegas, but I am close to Pink Spot Vapors and its really nice to have them close by. Even if you're on the other side of town, I suggest you go visit them soon. Their juice is awesome!

 

[Makeup_Junkie]

I will try them next. I have a huge shipment coming in so it'll be a while until I try them but I'll get around to it eventually
