Hey guys, I apologize for sort of changing the subject but I'm not yet permitted to start a new thread.
here's my sitch...
I'm vaping for 4 days now with the 4081, no analogs. I bought an extra atomizer and 50 pre-filled carts with the original purchase. I also have juice coming from JC. I'm home for a couple of more weeks before I have to return to work so charging the batteries isn't an issue, yet. But, it will be. I'm a construction worker who won't have access to a charging receptacle. In essence, I'm going to have to be prepared big time to make the successful transition to vaping.
(note: I ordered a Jantystick which I'm nearly sure is going to resolve the battery issues but that device probably wont arrive in time)
Clearly, I'm going to have to be prepared to go to analog war armed with at least 4 batteries for a regular day. I dont think Im vaping very much but Im only getting 2 hours from each battery. Apparently, I have the non-SE batteries? Anyway, instead of buying separate spare parts like atomizers, batteries and a charger, it seems to make sense to me to buy another kit. (when "making sense" = spending more money on a product that I'm phasing out) Hoo boy. <g> E-Cigarcigarette has a decent kit for $70.
I mean, what do you guys do when you get set to hit the road for a 10 or 12 hour day away from home? I think I'd want to leave the house with 4 assembled, fully charged 4081s and a small bottle of juice. Does this seem excessive?
I noticed that some here are from Long Island. Are there any stores (of the brick and mortar variety) where one can purchase stuff in an emergency?
Thanks for the help. 'Tis much appreciated.

Hi Rich,
I can relate to you because at times I am on the road for the same amount of time.
Here is what I do:
I have 4 batteries fully charged when I'm out the door.
I also carry another model e-cig fully charged as a backup if in the case my batteries go DOA.
I plan on getting another Ruyan e-cigar for those long days on the bike. Those batteries and carts can last you about 2 weeks!!
Being that you're into construction, you do drive to work right? If you look at your charger, there is a input on the side for you to use a cigarette lighter charger plug. While you're working, what ever batteries need charging, leave them charging in your car while you use the others.
Also, you might want to get yourself a USB passthru for your 4081 and use a portable usb battery (example Keningston, APC mobile power pack etc). They are about the size of an ipod and can give you 10-12 hours of power for your usb passthru. I also carry one on real long days on the road.
On long Island, you can check out the guys over at e-liquidplanet.com They sell RN4081's (Solar Flare) and you can make arrangements with them for a local pick up for kits and/or spare parts.
Your last (and expensive) option for emergency pick ups are at the South Shore Mall. There is a Kiosk there that sells different models of e-cigs, carts, parts and juice. Also at the Roosevelt Field Mall is the Smoking Everywhere Kiosk that also has RN4081 carts, atomizers etc. The Westfield Mall on Sunrise Highway has a kiosk also I believe. They are expensive so it should be your last option.
Lastly, you local neighborhood vapors from the Long Island Vapors Club. We are here to help each other out in those times of emergencies for spare parts and juices being that most of us have an entire collection of stuff.
