Reddit mentions of 2*18650 Battery Waterproof Battery Storage Case Holder/organizer for 18650

Many, probably the majority, of battery portions or "mods" use removable 18650 batteries. The advantage of this is easily swappable batteries, so if one runs out of juice you can just pop in another. Also, batteries by nature degrade over time, so mods with built in batteries will eventually perform poorly if not die outright.

I'd recommend an iStick Pico kit, and juice from Blue Dot Vapors. I haven't bought juice in a while since I make my own but they're my favorite juice vendor for the cheap price range, and pretty much anything from them should be delicious. Some might need to "steep" though - basically let it sit for a few days to cure. They do have presteeped juice though.

Make sure to be educated about battery safety. NEVER, EVER NEVER NEVER EVER NEVER carry a loose 18650 in a pocket or bag because something like keys or coins could short the battery, causing it to essentially explode violently. 18650 cases are cheap and convenient.

It's generally recommended to always charge 18650's via an external charger, like this or this. The Pico does have a USB charging port, and for everyday use it's probably fine, but it might possibly, maybe, not be 100% safe to leave it plugged in for long periods of time. See this thread and this thread. It's probably fine though.

Or just get him a Juul. I've never tried one, want to though, but from what I hear it's about the closest experience to actually smoking, and it's simpler too. The only downside is buying the pods. I think there are ways to refill them with juice though.

Also, just search around.

You're better off getting a container for them. Here's one for example. There's always the possibility of the battery hitting your keys, loose change or other metal items in your pockets.

I go camping down at the Red River Gorge several times a year, and take my vape everytime. You'll probably need some extra batteries. Definitely look into buying some waterproof battery cases, as they're fairly cheap:

I would also recommend puttng them in a dry box/bag if you plan on going anywhere near water. I generally put my mod in one as well:

Exercise food safety protocol when in bear country. Your vape/juice falls into the 'food' category. A bear hang is a pretty simple thing to setup, and is almost a necessary. Here's some info about bear hangs:

Good luck and have fun!

EDIT: If anyone has any better recommendations on a drybox and waterproof battery cases, let me know :)

people who vape usually carry them in these little plastic cases that hold 2 batteries. I don't have one but I really should, let me google it really quick.
