Brian Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 So, I'll probably never have another power outage now that I've got this, but if I do, by golly I'll be ready!!!

SmokinHammer Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Nice. Are you going to add the cost to your "investment?" :P
Brian Posted December 30, 2009 Author Posted December 30, 2009 Nice. Are you going to add the cost to your "investment?" :P I'm adding that to the cost of keeping my wife happy. Seriously - I don't think she could have taken one more day without power. Next time - I'll be a hero!
nana Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 BRIAN!!!! I am so jealous!! But then you knew I would be, didn't you? I have got to get me one of those! And I won't add it to my "investment" cause losing power in the winter means no heat and we can run heat off of it. Using it to charge ecigs is just a really big bonus. I wonder how soon I can fit one into the budget? Hmmmm. Got to go to some math now..... I am so jealous!!
Lordvapor Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) you are gonna need to update your signature of: "I have invested" $689.94 in a healthier life." That generator alone cost that much... Good show Here is my back up....Hooked to a gel cell or a lawn mower battery... of course I am getting in a car charger too....

Believe it or not, there are still a LOT of people 30 minutes south of me, near where I work, that still don't have power. They're going on 11 days now. That inspired to get off my arse and make sure I'm prepared for the next one.
nana Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 LOL @ brian! Oh, I believe it. My daughter and son-in-law have a generator for the same reason. They went 2 weeks without power after an ice storm just over a year ago. And then one summer were without for over a week after a really big tornado went through. Some people were without power for a month that time. Most of the power lines in the county were down. We've never had to go a whole day without power here, but it could happen. We've actually been talking about one for quite awhile now, but we only think about it when a storm is coming and by then everyone else has had the same thought and they're all sold out. I like to be prepared for the worst and having one would help me in that department.
keenan Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 LOL ! Brian, a few years ago we had 4 hurricanes roar through here in Floriduh. Afterwards, you couldve sold a generator for ten grand if you could find one. When they finally DID become available, I bought one, always wanting to be prepared. Its still in the unopened box in my father-in-laws garage ! Havent used it once, except for that time we had a B-B-Q and I used the box to set my food plate on.

I figure that's the way it'll be for me, and that's OKAY! Here in WV, a good stiff breeze can take out the power. Although the place I live now it hasn't been bad. Maybe we can get some of that stimulous money for infrastructure.
Vacker1229 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Hmmm, I have no true concept of power outages as in California a power outage just means cable tv went out while I was sleeping.
RustyVape Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 My last power outage, I happened to have my cordless phone, a very small TV, and all my 901 chargers hooked to a UPS. I had to go find a lighter to light my oil lamp. 5 minutes later I discovered that oil lamps stink!!! - Now I keep a battery powered lantern handy.
Brian Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 This is a very old thread, but almost 3 years later and I'm using this generator for the first time! LOL! It's working great too!
kitsune Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Glad the generator came in handy !!! How you guys doing???
Brian Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 Did you have any damage in your area Brian? Glad the generator came in handy !!! How you guys doing??? No damage - just a power outage. We're very fortunate here. We had probably 4-6 inches of very heavy wet snow come down very fast. Stuck to trees and pulled them down. We lost power at around 4am Tuesday. Funny thing is that about 2 hours after I decided to start the generator, the power came back on! I knew that would happen. LOL! At least next time I'm prepared. Lots of people still without power in this area. We're all doing good though.
Jeffb Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 My kids always say they wished we lived where it snows. I always tell them "No you don't!" lol
Mike Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 That thing is enough to power your fridge, TV, some lights and all your battery chargers. OR you could use full power to a custom ultra-high resistance atty and give new meaning to vapor production and throat hit.
