Hi Folks,I just had a talk about the worlds troubles with a Friend...We came upon the issue of a nuke war,and with Who....That took all night and a case of Beer to go over and I won't go into it now....But one thing did come up,if the bad guys toss a bomb above the US and caused a E M P meltdown of ,Cars,Trains,Planes ect would a regulated mods electrics be damaged?....How about the batteries?....I have to ask now,in case it would I'm getting a big metal box today!....Z

Brother, if an EMP hit the states and wiped out our electrical grid, technology and virtually all communication methods - I'm not going to be focusing so much on the vaping aspect of my life anymore.

 

[Whiskey]

I was kinda gonna answer like that too, I'd be more worried about how I was going to survive along with all the rest of my family.

 

[burley]

That being said, I don't understand how an EMP would affect batteries. So far as I know (which isn't very far at all, let's be honest) the 'wave' of an EMP would fry small electronics and circuit boards, but I don't really think it would do anything to a contained cell battery that has no circuit boards or anything in them. Regulated mods wouldn't work, anything with a chipset would fry and be useless, but as long as the batteries are good, a mechanical should work just as it does.

I'll be ducking for my life and providing cover fire if you don't mind wrapping a coil for me in the great Fallout foxhole, though. I'm sure we could scavenge up some cotton and kanthal, maybe even some VG if the Skulls don't find us first.

 

[z man]

Hope it is all just crazy thinking on My part,I too would want to survive such a thing,as well as having Everyone not just Family....But the question still the same....

 

[MrScaryZ]

Game over man!

 

[Whitesoxfan2579]

lol.........yeah I would also think that the electronics of my mod would probably be about the last thing on my mind.

 

[EMusic]

Game over man!

I say we nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. (from "Aliens"!)

 

[z man]

I am sure no one would want to vape in a time of disaster....And if the Train crashes off the tracks the last thing You should be worried about is taking care of You addictions,it would be like Food,Water,Ammo Ect. I found a good blurb on EMPs and small electrics,anything that has wires coming from it ,T.V.,Computer and land lines will be fried because the wires act like antenna to the wave of electric charges....

 

[lordmage]

here is your answer on batteries
and if you're really worried about saving your vape from an emp use a faraday cage

more accurately anything plugged into the grid with solid state control mechanisms.

 

[burley]

Good post @lordmage - guess that's that.

 

[Rabbit Slayer]

How exactly are you going to charge the batteries if the power grid goes down?
And IF a nuke does going off, I don't think I'll be caring about the health risks of smoking at that point

 

[Time]

The bigger question is how will you charge the batteries with no electricity. It makes no difference if your batteries are not damaged if you can't charge them.

I will be vaping during a mass downed electric grid(EMP or otherwise). I'll need the nic. LOL.

@Rabbit Slayer beat me to it.

 

[EMusic]

Lets all cross our fingers that no nukes or EMPs ever go off where we live. And not only for the sake of vaping.

EMP's would normally be a bi-product of a Nuclear Blast,

What's the old saying.......................................

"Put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye".

Point being, since you are dead, vaping is no longer an issue.

But, not confined to a Nuclear blast. A good solar flare could do it and not kill anyone.

Personally, I am more worried about a giant Dragon eating the sun

The stories of our fathers are true?! Quick, someone grab a sacrifice, this is getting heavy.

An EMP strike works by reverse magnetising and overheating nearby electrical systems. In other words, your Iphone will be toasted. Solar panels are vulnerable to the EMP effect, but the real danger to most people comes not from a direct strike, but from the indirect effects which will occur later.Nov 20, 2013

The only way to protect your system is to incase your inverter inside a faraday cage, but protecting yourself from the indirect effects would be much harder to achieve.

Today, in my garage.

NICE!!! LOL, and out my window just yesterday

Sure. I mean the last big one was thousands of years ago, in 1859.

This ones easy... Most of my Juice is NET, anyway... Therefore I still have plenty of tobacco around....using that is easier anyway.

Couldn't one just use an old generator to charge the batteries. Heck a bicycle a generator and a mech , no batteries required..

Glad you caught those suckers before they ate the frikking SUN!

I remember it

Couple drops of juice on the tongue and I'm good for a while..........

No worries. They prefer moons when they get out.

What do we need to smoke to be a reliable source in this thread ?

Sigh, all reliability is long gone so just go with the flow

When the nuke hits I'm taking up smoking again.

 

[Canadian Vaper]

Back in 2003 there was a huge blackout, My province of Ontario and 8 States were affected, we had no power for two days, I was completely unprepared for it, obviously we got by, but since then I started some basic prepping for natural disasters etc.. I did go overboard for a while but not "cray cray" overboard lol...

Now I always keep a month+ supply of non perishable food, I put together a Bug out Bag that contains enough stuff to get me by for 2 weeks in case I have to leave, I loaded a old phone full of Movies, Music and youtube diy video's, have spare vapes and juice in it, mech's and spare switches/510's, I Made a solar generator that charges with two small 20w solar panels, it's got 12v and an inverter for 110v... While it's not the biggest its got 30,000 mah at 12v so about 100000mah in vape terms...

All of which gets stored in a faraday cage I built, it runs off of a 12v SLA battery (same style used in computer UPS's) and keeps charged with a trickle charger

Don't have a pic of the cage but here an old one of my solar generator i already had on imgur..... Solar panels just connect via a 12v socket/plug...

 

[Angrygod50]

Anyone remember Burt the Turtle? Is my age showing???

 

[Zombie13]

If a nuke hits the United States vaping will be the last thing on my mind the first thing going through my mind is which gun has the least amount of ammo and use that one first. As far as food goes all is fare in love and war so meat is meat stay off my front lawn. Any questions!?
