Planning a getaway adventure this summer? Or maybe a trip to the lake house, that cruise you have been dreaming about? Whatever it is, your vacation trip should bring you lots of enjoyment and happiness. A good way to avoid spoiling the fun, is making sure you have all your electronic cigarette needs in check. The last thing you want is to be stuck in a location where quality e-cigs are not easily accessible.
The last thing you want to happen is to get stuck with no e-cigs, pushing you to possibly go back to tobacco smoking. Being on vacation represents an easy time to make excuses and mistakes you might deeply regret later. Follow our tips for properly packing all your e-cig needs with you, no matter where your trip takes you.
Wall Adapter Chargers
The first thing at hand is to figure out if you will be able to use your charger at your destination. If you are going to Europe, it is important to know they use 220V with round prong plugs. Although most wall adapter chargers can do both 110-220V, it is very important you double check this. Additionally, you will need some adapter conversion plugs to use the jacks.
Whatever you do, don’t mix up your chargers. You risk having them set fire, or even worse explode! If some of your chargers are not labelled with their respective brand, it’s a very good idea to label them with stickers, or mark them any way you like. This precaution will avoid such disastrous events. Properly storing your devices and vaporizers is also important, especially when travelling.
Cartridges
Ask yourself how many cartridges you currently use in one week? How many will you need to bring with you? Do you foresee sharing or giving some away during your trip? Ensuring you have enough and all the flavors you want should be something to get done as early as possible, so make this one of the first online purchases you do.
For travelling, I much prefer using a regular electric cigarette and pre-filled disposable cartridges. They stay fresh, and are the most convenient option. I can easily declare them at the airport, and I have no risk of e-juice bottles leaking in my luggage, let alone having to prepare and wash them during my holiday vacation.

Batteries
As we just mentioned, ensuring you can charge your batteries anywhere you go is very important, but so is having enough batteries. You may very much be on the go for extended periods of time during your trip, discovering various new places, who has time to sit around a hotel room waiting for batteries to charge? Pack at least 2 batteries with you to ensure you have enough to last all day.
Extra Everything
The main rule of thumb here is, better to the safe than sorry. Pack extras for everything. Extra batteries is a good idea, in case one of them fails or by horrible faith you lose some of your belongings. Extra cartridges, equally as important, in case you go through them faster or share with curious friends you meet along the way. Same goes for chargers, bring an extra wall adapter, a couple extra USB chargers would be a good idea with an extra adapter to bring in your bag. You get the picture, more is better.
Disposables
Packing a few disposable e-cigarettes with you on your trip is a great idea. If you plan on going on long adventures, boat rides, or places you risk losing or damaging your rechargeable batteries, disposables would make a much better and very cheap option. Packing a few in general will not cost you much and allow you to have peace of mind and focusing on having fun. Disposable e-cigs also make great gift ideas for family and friends abroad. Share the smoke-free life alternative you love so much. Check out some of the disposable e-cig smokeless devices available.
Conclusion
It does not require much effort to be better prepared for your trip as a vaper, but a little bit of procrastination or being distracted with other important details for your trip can cause any of us to forget to pack the essentials, and as mentioned, the main concern is not having an outlet to buy what you need, leaving you with nicotine cravings and tobacco shops. Let’s not let that happen this summer and we wish you all amazing trips across the world while happily vaping away.
