Yeah it's pretty crazy. Most of what I have bought is based on threads I read on this forum, the latest being the Black Light pen for tracking down those stray poly strands. My first week of my overly priced Smoking Everywhere mini and shortly followed by my first 901 were nothing but pure pleasure and excitement of how amazing vaping is. I got so into it. The happiness of quitting smokes was overwhelming and so easy.
My first eliquid arrived and was 25mg vanilla from wetyourstick. It was and still is amazing, my fav vanilla out of all the vanillas I have bought. Then came my JC Tenesse Smoke Cured. This rapidly became my favorite. Then all my colleagues started getting 510's from innovapor. Great prices and they kept saying the vape is amazing. So knowing for sure this is my new chosen path, I decided to order 4 complete 510s, PCC & USB chargers. Also from reading this forum I became captivated with the legal stuff going on, knowing for sure I want this to remain an alternative to smoking the nasty analogues (Lol, description learnt on this forum). But the fear of banning made me want to make sure I am covered for a long haul of vaping.
So I started reading, watching YouTube reviews and buying. Ordered 4 spares of batteries and attys for my 901, a USB passthrough, Apc Power unit, 2 x Lenmar power units from bestbuy $19 each, 510 passthrough, all that liquid, fluval, 100 x 901 empty carts (fit 510 also), tweezers, pure alchol, 21 Lorann oils listed as atty safe on this site, still on the hunt for Lipton pyramids, 2xcases on eBay and all that liquid. Most of which is not very nice in comparrison to my first wetyourstick vanilla and JC TSC.
Still waiting on 100ml to mix my own.
Then the 510's arrived. First atty I tried was nasty. Really nasty. Reading up I gave it a chance for 48 hours while occasionally reverting back to my tasty 901. Even after 48 the burning taste and smell persisted. All the time I was wondering if this is one of the taste differences people describe when comparing models? So I tried another atty. It was so much better and the flavors of my liquids was back. Then I though I should make sure the others were ok? I also mailed innovapor asking to exchange as it is faulty. I have still not received a reply from them yet?? I have good faith that they will respond, but probably too busy dealing with all the orders my friends and colleagues are placing based on my recomendation. As a result of innovapors slow response I ordered a 5 pack of spare 510 atomizers from eastmall.net and thought may as well add some flavorless liquid to the order. Also noticed eastmalls website doesn't work in firefox, only Internet Explorer. Good deals at eastmall and although in china I wanted to try atomizers from different outlet as my second seems to have issues with the wick wanting to poke out from the bridge. I wonder if the batch I got was a bad batch? Also the ecoPure rich liquid I got was not nice, but couldn't understand why my friends loved it so much. Also thinking it maybe part of a bad batch? All my smoking colleagues now vape so it must be good? I just poured the 3 ml bottles into one bigger one so I can use the bottles. 8)
How much have I spent so far? To be honest, I have no idea. More than necessary for sure. But I should be set for a very long time. It's worth it to get away from analogues.
Umm...that's a vase.
I don't seem to use my SE mini any longer. The 901 and 510 are what I
switch. Although the mini was pretty enjoyable IMO, just too expensive and mine was $80 from amazon with a bunch of carts. You soon learn that is not the way to go.
Vaping is pretty awesome. The smoking area at work is now deserted. 8) that's a really good thing!
