Yes, I'm talking about ME! I've seen so many posts about getting spares of spares of spares. I thought I had it covered with wicks, juices, tubes etc but tonight my charger gave up the ghost. Have ordered replacements which should be here Mon/Tues and also have two fully charged eGos. But I did have a quick 'Oh Sh*t' moment. Also, I remembered my next door neighbour gave me his 'look a like' kit many weeks ago as he couldn't get on with it. So, for the first time, I took it out and tried it (Steamlite if anyone has heard of it) and yes it worked and gave me the reassurance that if my eGos go flat before my replacement chargers arrive, at least I've got a backup even if if it's not with my favourite flavours. Don't be a Dumbo like me and just make sure you don't get caught out.

A great point well made raffles - we quote the backups for your backups mantra but the charger is taken for granted

I have got a spare charger, not a very good one, but it would do in an emergency.

I envisaged this being an issue when I started on the skycigs, and ordered a backup usb charger, which happily is compatible with my riva (which at the time I hadn't thought of buying), but will be getting a 2nd charger for my 18650s after reading this

I have so much vaping gear here at Blakey towers that I should be banned from vaping if I ever get caught out .
