I totally just lost my Vision Spinner. Its gone. No warning, no note, no goodbyes. I will never see that awesome purple & red combo (made specifically for red headed chix named Ash) ever again.

I liked vaping. I didnt quit smoking on my first day like my man did, but I was on a really good start. Got down to a maximum of 3 a day, with most days being 1 or none. It was looking pretty good for me the last few days I had it. I went to go buy my second bottle of juice & a new Evod, screwed the Evod on the Spinner, and then never saw it after that. The only possibility at this point is that it fell out at the store and someone picked it up and took off with it rather than turn it in to the store.

I thought it wouldnt be so bad, I had an order with my backup X6 coming from fasttech. Oh wait ... the tracking info says HONG KONG?! Oh, awesome! I now have about 3 more weeks instead of 3 more days (I saw China prices so I was surprised to read "Missouri" or some "M" state in the contact section, but now that I look back I guess I couldve mistakenly opened a different tab with another vendors info on it, I had been doing a lot of searching that day) I cant afford to buy another $50 kit from a place in the states, and I cant imagine smoking for the whole month, I just cant go back, I just CANT! I feel like going back is the WORST thing thats ever happened to me in my entire life. I thought I was a "lifer", I was soooo excited abt all of this. I mean, Ive been running around with it all week, preaching abt it to anyone I see on the bus/street/train/friends/the president of the united states, everyone.

I am so depressed. So miserable. I dont even know why I'm posting this, everyone here HAS a vaporizer! I am just SO upset. I guess I just needed some people to talk to that understand. And please, dont tell me what I *should* have done, please! Dont post saying "well you shouldve had a backup!" ... I DID order a backup! I just got my Spinner and 1 wk later I ordered the X6 as a backup, thinking FT was in the states somewhere. I dont have any options here besides ordering an expensive one HERE, or another cheap one *there*, which would take even longer than the one thats already on its way. I cant believe mine hasnt even left freakin China yet. I just wanna curl up into a little ball and die now.

Surely, there is a vape shop in your neck of the woods? Go pick up a 650mAh eGo battery and a new Evod. It'll work with your charger and hold you over until that slow boat from China arrives with your X6 mod (which is a really nice device, btw).

That does suck! I have a habit of putting my spinner in my pocket. I went out one day and after eating went to vape a bit only to find my kit was gone. I was very ......, mostly because i was looking forward to a little RY4 after dinner goodness. Fortunately for me the spinner had slipped out of my pocket and alongside the passenger seat of my friends car.

Bummer...

I got stuff from FastTech in 7 days flat, so maybe it'll be sooner than you think.
I've seen many people suggest a disposable NJoy as the best disposable to get through an emergency...

Good luck!

Agreed - my last order from FastTech took 7 days to get to me here in South Carolina.

Is there any possibility you can borrow a setup from a friend or someone??

*le sigh* :closedeyes: I feel better just knowing that people *understand*. I can get really worked up over things like this. :oops:

I AM ECSTATIC that there are people, actually more than ONE person here, that have gotten FT orders that quickly! Ive ordered a couple things from overseas and they usually tell you abt 30 days, sometimes it can come in 2 weeks, but thats rare. I feel like one more week would be decent. However, I'm not sure if the people here that mentioned getting it in a week are counting from the time they *ordered* or the time it took after it was shipped. Pretty sure mine wasn't shipped until yesterday even though I ordered saturday morning. Right now it just says "accepted" as the status of my shipping tracker. *crossing fingers*

Yesh, there is an official "Vape store" near me, but of course since there aren't many vapers around yet the things are pricey. I'm unemployed, so yeah it can be difficult to justify the purchase. Its such a kick in the gut to dish out money thats so very precious for something that you shouldnt even have to dish out for, especially when its due to your own stupidity. :facepalm: I also wanted to wait a few days to see if it'd turn up but from what I've gone through the last few days I think I can safely say that it is GONE. Borrowing a setup wouldve been ideal but I'm so new to this and dont know anyone from the vape community in Chicago yet, although I did join the windy city vapers club. I'm the first of my circle of friends to switch & still working at getting everyone to switch over.

I'm glad I posted this. I really needed the support, and the advice was very much needed and sincerely appreciated. Thank you guys, seriously. :)

WOW! I haven't been to this site yet, and I'm a freakin maniac when it comes to researching things, particularly if I'm *purchasing*!

I've never been to vapedojo, either. I'm checking that sctuff out right now as we speak, these things are lookin prrrretty darn affordable!

(Oh yea, the reason the vape kit at the tobacco store is fifty bucks is because you cant just buy the battery, u gotta buy the whole thing. LAME)

I placed my fasttech order on august 7th, it's now august 14th and my package just reached the hong kong air mail centre last night. So I figure another week or two and it shold be here. It's my bday present, but it's gonna be a lil late since my bday was the 12th lol.

I don't know your exact feelings about losing that setup you had but I could imagine. I've been vaping just over a month now and went from craving every 20-30 minutes down to about 4-5 cigs a day. I would be asolutely devastated if I lost my only battery and clearo right now. No amounts of analogs would make me happy.

Arn't the people here great? Once you get your kit and a backup and a backup for the backup, you should be OK..
then again because you are not currently employed, you can try a DIY approach to the whole thing... do a google search on build an ecig. you can probably come up with something that will hold you until you get going again. :D

Hang in there.. we are all here to keep you sane. We all know how it feels to be out of whatever for however long it is.
you may also want to invest a bit in DIY Juice. it costs me pennies to vape now!
...'course I did go a bit overboard to start with. ;)

FT shipping is 14 days or less, it's rarely over that. The X6 is a nice battery, I have one. As people have said, get a cheap ego for the price of a couple of packs of cigs.

The good thing is that you have something on the way, so even if you you do end up smoking you can get back to vaping in a few days rather than forget about it.
