I hear you. I am trying to go at least three weeks before buying anything. Even juice. I have enough now and placed an order last week for more so I am well stocked up. Even taking steeping into consideration. This will be the first week of the self imposed three week standoff. Wish us both luck!
Yeah I have enough juice steeped to last a month and enough steeping to las another 2 so for juice I'm good through January. I planned on waiting until after all my holiday shopping was done. Before buying anything else. I plan on rewarding myself with a ZAP or Odysseus whichever I can find first.
Hello, my name is AJ. I am a vaping related shopaholic..
[reply from group] "Hello AJ."
At one point, I realized i had enough juice to last 6-8 months and I knew I had to stop buying stuff. I find it very hard to pass on some of the equipment coming out, and I know I don't need any of it. I have enough equipment to host a vaping party for 8 all using my gear.
So, OP I feel your pain. I really do.

i don't even buy that much stuff but i get the vapeing new stuff gimmes every day.
for example : the new e-roll. this is basically a miniaturized ego c. i hated the c. yet, for some reason. that cute little PVC makes me think the e-roll is "better ".
thank goodness i have enough sense to resist. but still...if not this there will be something else taunting me with false promises of a perfect fantasy world where unicorns vape rainbows (and poop gold)

Click click click click clikity click click -goes the mouse........ When I close my eyes all I see is a ADDTOCART button... weeeeeeeee lol
Whenever a "nubie" first posts, we need to warn them of this evolutionary problem with vaping and keeping up with the "Joneses". Once you see all the really cool Mods, the lowly starter kit looks like a used Kia next to a new Corvette even though it works OK.
I call it "phallic envy"
I just tried to upgrade from cartos to a Mini Vivi Nova 2.5 and it appears that it was a waste of money since I get the dreaded burned taste no matter what I do. Blank cartos, filled with my favorite juice tastes great, but once inside the Mini Nova it tastes terrible. Also I drool over the Caravella and other chrome and brass devices. I love this forum, but it doesn't help with the desire to have more toys.

They never did. It is really addictive, well until you see how much money you have spent on things that are not that essential. But even if we know that, we'll do it anyway. Before I started vaping I was into buying books, now there are so much there isn't enough room in my place to keep them out of the boxes, at least the stuff related to the vaping bug are smaller in proportions 
I know were you are coming from, but Like my dad always said ( it's better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it ) bless his heart
I keep thinking I have enough stashed for a few months and if I didn't buy anything I'd be at break even, then I look at something and end up buying it. I have so much stuff left from old kit once upgraded its almost criminal.
I am desperately waiting for a shipment from china with my vivi nova heads, iTaste 510 adapter, and some cartos. But i'm good on juice since I just won 50ml from HVD. I'm feeling the itch a bit, too.
I think vaping has turned me into a hoarder ROFL. I have all kinds of stuff, most of it I need to donate or get rid of. Mostly icky juices. I don't even want to THINK about how much money I have spent on vaping, but I can assure you there will be no break even for me. I enjoy vaping wayyy too much to put a price tag on it.
Only been vaping a couple weeks,but i see how addicting hadware buying can be. Sadly i wont have extra funds till after the holidays. It really sucks to a guy a work with just got a ihybrid spider and im sitting here with some stardust and a bisani 1100. Did order a 100 ml of boba's that should hold me forawhile thou i burned thru the 12ml i had. I see a provari and genny atty in my near future

Good luck with your three week self imposed buying freeze
I spent two years telling myself every once in a while I was done buying
It never lasted very long before I'd be ordering something new 
FINALLY after all this time I can honestly say I've lost the itch to buy new stuff.
There's just nothing new I haven't tried that interest me right now. But I do feel like I need to stay away from some of the vendors threads I used to visit often so I don't get tempted lol. From now until New Years there's always been some great sales so I'm thinking I'm going to have to avoid all the vendor threads and Deals and Steals thread so I don't know what goes on sale or else I'm afraid that itch will come back to visit me HAHAHAHA I get the same feeling. E-Cig websites really just get me excited! I gotta try it all! 
Agreed, I'm like that with knives, hiking backpacks, survival gear and now PV gear LOL
It's a very real phenomenon... I encountered it during my samurai sword collecting phase (yes, I know), and now this. I think it's simply that we found something that fascinates us, tickles the pleasure centers in our brains, and is something we want to understand, in all shapes, forms, and fashions. Some outsiders will understand this, many others will not. I don't mind, though. Nothing makes my endorphins pop harder and faster than receiving and then opening vapemail.
Honestly I have the same issue and it makes me mad. Can't save money if I'm spending it all on e-smoke stuff, but yet I do, again and again and again.
