Everytime a package beats me home, i get a lecture from BOTH my landlord and my girlfriend who also vapes. (thanks to M E !)
at first i got away with, "i am only buying the essentials so that we have everything that we need baby!" .. and i was...at first!

we started with and still have joyetech Ego 1000mah PT Batts and a sleu of clearomizers by Kanger, Vision ect.
i bought myself the Protank because i enjoy not filling up so often, but have been switching between EVOD and ProTank.
(make sure to use EVOD Heads in BOTH!) but i am tired of being topheavy.... so ofcourse... i WANT A MOD!!!!

i have my eye on a hybrid i am waiting to buy second hand one day... but in the mean time to get me started i want to blow about $180 on sigelei #19, pano batts - 18350's(4-8), intellicharger i4, and a Terminator C R/A.....

yep... its going to be easy to throw the box from the mail away, but impossible to hide it all from my girlfriend :/
this is why i cant have nice things... because when i enjoy something too much, i cannot possibly give my GF enough attention :confused:
at least this is how she is seeing it.
any suggestions or personal experience with this?
I Love my GF, i also Love vaping...

At least she vapes! That is a good start. Try out the CoOp section. You can get some awesome equipment there, at very reasonable prices. I am really enjoying my china-built mechanical mods, and have a slew of vv/vw on the way. I have purchased several RBAs, have silica wick on the way, have Kanthal, diy my own juice. With all of that, I am still spending way less that the $70/week I was spending on analogues. Just do the math, and show her how it works, and how much you are saving. It might work. I go through it regularly with my wife, who quit smoking over thirty years ago when she was pregnant with our first child.

Good luck!!!!!

:vapor:

Some men have said they get their vape mail delivered at work but she will notice it when you use it. My advice, plan on getting two, or something equally as expensive and shiney that she will like.
Happy vaping

I beg to differ.

I told my wife, who never smoked, that at my 6 month anniversary I was buying a ProVari. I was using eGos at the time. Quite a bit of difference between the two. I cheated and bought the ProVari a month early and used it around the house. I tried to hide it at first but I realized after a few days that she didn't really pay attention to my vaping. So I got more bold, just to see if she would notice. She didn't.

To this day she has no idea that I ordered it early. And yes, I had it delivered to work. :D

My method usually takes some planning and I don't always employ it, but when I do it always works... :D

When I want something nice and think there's a chance it might put me in the dog house I budget to get my girl something nice also, or first. I love my VAMO but I know I'm getting close to wanting something better, a nice mech probably. I don't know what I want yet, it'll probably take me a few weeks at least to determine what I want. But I did plan ahead and ensured I'll have all the room I need to justify my purchase when the time comes... I just got my girlfriend a provari mini ;)



edit- that sounded a bit braggish I think, I didn't mean for it to.

I agree with xandermans post! Once everything is paid then I don't see the issue but then again I'm also happily single at the moment. Sometimes I think it would be nice to date a fellow vaper & sometimes...like when I see these types of posts I think not. Lol! But as a woman who vapes and loves my vape gear...tanks, cartos, drip tips whatever it is...see what she likes & surprise her with it. Keep track on the lil things that she mentions, even if it's just a bottle of juice...get it for her. I know it might take a lil longer to get some of the other higher priced things you want but as long as she's happy she'll want you to be happy! Good luck!

I am wondering why it is always the man's job to make sure the woman is happy. Why does it not work the other way? In my house, I pay all of the bills, buy the groceries, clothe the kids, etc. Why, after all of that, do I have to begin to justify my "fun" purchases? I never have and never will.

My wife is a hair dresser and she doesn't ever ask if she can buy the new shears she needs in order to do hair. Why do I have to ask if I can buy that new PV that will keep me from dying an early death?

My husband never complains about me buying vaping gear. Packages show up...he will text me to let me know I got goodies in the mail.
He says as long as I am not smoking and much healthier then he doesn't care.
He even built me a beautiful vaping cabinet to store all my stuff....a lot of time and love put into it. He's a keeper!

Keeper for sure. If I could only get my wife to be like that then I would be in heaven! :)

I agree & if the situation were reversed I'd tell the woman the exact same thing but only if it were an issue. But then again maybe that's why I'm single. My ex had a problem with my smoking & had purchased a house supposedly for 'us' but said that I couldn't smoke inside when I moved in. My response was that I was standing outside of my dorm smoking when you met me 10 years ago in college & I guess I won't be moving in then...ever! Me not smoke in a place that i was going to be paying bills at & i was supposed to call home = no bueno! Wouldn't even compromise on a room or downstairs only. But he also wasn't supportive of me quitting or switching. He wanted me to do it. Plain & simple. No support...encouragement nothing! But for couples who love each other & run into issues a lot of times I guess the easiest way to handle it is to compromise.

This would be an even funnier story if it didn't closely mirror my situation at home almost perfectly....hahahaha :laugh:

If I wasn't already married, I would ask you to be my wife. :)
