What, wadda mean no POWER?

[Sandi]

After seeing alot of bad weather all over the place, just wondering what everyone would do if bad weather hit and you lost power for a few hours, or god forbid a few days?

Think I have my backup plan; I have a car charger that you can plug regular plugs into... How about you, what would you do?

I have enough batteries charged to last about 4 days. If the power if off longer than that, I'd have to go visit someone that has power.

durring Katrina/Rita, I would use my pc's UPS's to listen to the radio for a total of about an hour a day, lasted about a week. I bet charging these bats wouldn't drain as much power.

Go to the store and buy a 6 volt lantern battery.

where i live there is nothing major.. area will get a flood once every 2-4 yrs that will kill power for 3 days. my car adapter has usb and wall plug so could charge a battery there and use the pass through. but i would want a warm shower so I would just go to a relatives house that has power. moms house has natural gas generator back up that powers the entire house and 2 free bedrooms so i would go there..

if all else failed there is always atleast 2 aa batteries laying around and i can clip a piece of speaker wire and tape.. just tape together the 2 batteries and tape the wire to the batteries then touch the ends to the atty.

We've got a 10,000 watt generator downstairs, I'm good. Gotta be able to make coffee too.
RIMP what is a kensington?? (If you can say!!!)

 

[Shortstuff116]

I've got more than enough backup to last me a few days but longer than that and I'll just use my simple $5 USB to 12v auto lighter adapter I got from Cignot in my truck to recharge and vape on!

Portable power pak, little longer and thicker than a credit card You can charge it from your computer or a wall jack Has enough to power a pt Debating on whether to keep it as I'm using bigger batts and the pt not as much Very nice though and the charge lasts for days

I have enough batts to last a couple of days when fully charged. Beyond that I have a usb in my truck for my pass through.

I think I'd get me a little propane torch, some e liquid and see if I could figure out how to put the two together to produce vapor.

 

[markule]

2 full charge batteries plus one in use. Six hours or so, no prob.
PCC kept full charged. One day, easy.
Kensington USB, fully charged. Easily another day.

However, for real backup, I have a car lighter to USB converter, so if I can start the car, I can charge a battery. Also, have a 4 AAA box that uses 3 AAA for power to the atomizer. With rechargables, always a number on hand, it's a nice vape that lasts nearly all day. In a pinch, I can use any AAA's, and have, so if I can get 3 standard AAA, I can vape. This one ALWAYS goes on vacation/long trips with me "just in case".

That is a very good point. I never thought of it. I think I need to buy a car charger.

 

[voltaire]

Think of your car as a generator. As long as you have a cigarette lighter USB adaptor, you can use that to either charge a battery with a USB charger or to vape in your car with a pass-through.

 

[DaBrat]

lol I have a car battery charger with ac plugs on it (use it for the lamp while camping) so I'm good for a few days as long as I don't run the car battery down...lol

 

[BanjoMan]

I saw this thing mentioned in another thread. Should be able to charge a PCC with it with the right cable...

Cheap disaster plan:

$3.50 Car 12-24V adapter for USB charger - Accessories - Wholesale & Retail Best E-smoking Supplier

$4.50 USB Charger(with cord) for Joye510 mini e-cig - Spare parts - Wholesale & Retail Best E-smoking Supplier

Add shipping and that ~$10 will let you charge batteries in your car if the power ever goes out or if your home charger dies on you. Throw in a PT if you want to be able to vape without waiting for batteries to charge.
