Well, at the moment I have two tanks I've bought. I have two batteries. Now, here is the kicker....I just placed an order for an Innokin iTaste MVP 2.0, and a Aspire Nautilus Mini tank. I am so freaking psyched about this. So, I don't know if that is too much, but it will make me happy. I just quit smoking on Oct 27th, that evening. I started vaping on Oct31, or maybe the 1st of Nov. I have been through a ton of money on this already, well for me, it is. I do this to keep myself from smoking regular cigarettes. I was going crazy after I quit the analogs. Now I am a little happier. Next I need some BETTER juice.
I am on my 5th device in two months crappy little cigalike, starter kit, spinner knockoff, mech mod, sigelei 100 watt. CLosing in on half a liter of nicoticket juice. $200 worth of diy supplies. Regular purchases from B&M shops. Kanthal wire from 24-30 gauge. and 2 hana mod clones on order for vape presents for family members.
So yeah it is a disease. But I haven't smoked in a month

That's going to be a very nice setup for a beginner, any 3 of those. I hear Provari's are top quality, but maybe some users can correct me on that. I'm new as well.
Experimentation is what leads to your own perfect setup. Having all of those backups is just good preparedness.

The question is have you discovered Fasttech.com yet?
Remember accessories can be just as much fun as the main event.

Speaking of accessories. Where is a good place to get a stand for all this hardware im racking up on?
I've been vaping for about a month now, and have given up cigarettes completely. I am truly grateful to those brilliant people who had the vision of an e-cig. I started-off smoking Blu. While I enjoyed the flavors, they evaporated very quickly and soon became burnt. And, of course, the battery life is almost non-existent. So, I bought a Kanger EMOW dual coil kit and am quite pleased with it. The vapor is dense and smooth. The flavors translate beautifully, and the 1300 MaH battery keeps me vaping all day long. It is stylish, solid, and reliable. For now, I don't anticipate investing in additional equipment. This device does everything I need.
Started 6weeks ago with an akuma clone mod brass kayfun. 2 weeks later bought a plumevalle dripper. Lost the battery connection to the akuma mod ordered one but it'll be here in 2 weeks. So I ended up buying an IPV 3 150 watt box mod and I don't know if I'll use a clone again. Had many problems with misfires and such. Right now I'm trying to rationalize buying a council on Vaping aris RDA I want it but I think I might to to sell my mod clone and kayfun to try and get the fund for it.
I spent 250 a month smoking for 42 years. Buy whatever you want...after awhile you will probably settle into some favorites and your expense will go down.
but not go away...because of the new goodies to try.
In most cases it will still be cheaper than smoking was

Hi onizuka,
Im in Japan too...
4 evods...
nemesis mech
grand vapour mech
iTaste VTR
tanks... kraken, aerotank, 2 drippers, 2x i30s, kayfun lite and a taifun gs...
And no its still not enough, Im about to get a hana modz box and a couple more drippers.
There is a good range starting to pop up here, I don't now where you are, but there is some good shops in both Tokyo and Osaka, the only drawback being the prices.
Juice, Im still using nic so Im buying from the US.
If you want any info, let me know...
I know exactly what you mean. I went from the standard Aspire Nautilis tank to the Aspire Nautilis Replacement tank.
onizukajp welcome to the site.
I own the Sigelei 20W and a buddy of mine has the Sigelei 30W. Mine has been solid and my friends has been nothing but trouble. He's returned it twice because of problems with the head. If you're open to box mods the Sigelei 50 or 100 watt box have been getting good reviews and are about the same price. I just received my Sigelei 100W Plus and really like it so far but it's only been a couple days.

I suppose I have done things the wrong way around in that I started off building my own ecig equipment and then moved onto Ego batts and clearos and only now feeling the desire for an Innokin iTaste MVP 3.0 as it looks so cool and can do pretty much anything. Not sure how much current it can blast out but I reckon its worth a 35 quid punt to see what it is like.
I reckon you can't have too much ecig gear. I have a ton and I use it all, from rebuilt cig-a-likes to strange table vapes I have built for dripping and half-choking myself on vapour!!

We have a support group for that. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/groups/vaping-dollar-day.html http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-vaping-discussion/575871-dollar-day-group.html
But for the first six months, spending is normal. Once you find what you like, some cut down to $10 a month, and even less. I've decided to save up for a Provari.

Geesh - now I know what I have - VAS!!!
Heavy cigar smoker for 20+ years, analogs before that.
So, I go to the Wicked store in the mall to pick up some e-juice for the wife's tiny e-cig. I comment that I'd probably try it, the super-nice sales girl showed me this thing called a V-SCOPE. Never seen one before - or since - anywhere. Clear atty top with bottom coil - same basic design as any replaceable coil design. And, since I'm a cigar smoker, she sells me 36mg nic - yes, 36mg!
I puff on this for a couple weeks, get tired of the taste and happened upon a local vape shop. That was the beginning of the beginning! Get a nice bottle of Mochachino by Signature - 18mg. NICE! But wait, what is that Nautilus thingy? Looks lots nicer and good price point - so, I get one of those too! Fits right on top of that V-SCOPE thingy, which, I now discover, is a VV Mech Mod! Good guy, that Jeff.
6 months later - here I am. Haven't picked up a cigar in 5 - the thought of that burned up taste, when I can have my melons and fruits - uh uh!
Then, I go crazy (in order of purchase):
2 - Nautilus Tanks
Mutation X, v-1 (and all the goodies to build coils)
Clone Mech Mod - can't even remember the name - it's carbon fiber and copper with teeny-tiny vent hole in side, which, I learned, is not good.
VTC4 18650's ( higher amps, what's that? - I learned)
Mutation X Clone (so I can practice on more coils) - had black anodized screws - nasty
IPV2S - upgraded firmware - single 18650 (won't make that mistake again - single battery in a regulated mod)
Plume Veil Clone (P.O.S. - burned coils into that "plastic" screw down top first fire, first build - in the trash - glad I only paid 16 bucks for it.)
PLUME VEIL 1.5 authentic!!! (so much hype, had to have it, even with Aerthtech's obvious QC problems, I LOVE the flavor)
V3 FLIP - absolutely the best mech mod in terms of voltage drop/artistry of the machinist! I like the looks!
VULCAN authentic - came with the FLIP - not nearly enough air-flow. Going to mod it with a machinist friend soon - needs more air.
Mutation X v2 - had to have the upgrade!
VAPOR FLASK - 40!!!!! I would have 2, but at $300 a pop....
ASPIRE Atlantis - now that's what I'm talkin' about for those drives to Miami!
OOOPS - got a 2nd Atlantis - one filled won't make the trip, and I hate to stop and refill if I'm making "good-time" driving!
That brings us up to date - yup, have VAS for sure. Cheaper, though, than boxes of OPUS-X cigars.
Wish list:
- VERTEX authentic, and maybe some others - we'll see what the future brings in innovative attys
- OG Lockdown and their new 26650 MOD
- another DNA-40 because I think temp control is really needed
- Some kind of Rebuildable tank - Kayfun, Russian, Orchid, Kanger Sub-Tank - so I can experience building and tasting these
Thanks for reading - this is fun! To quote a personality - "Vaping is the future and the future is NOW!"

I guess I'm just not like the rest... I'm in over a month now and all I've purchased is one VV iTaste 3.0 battery, two EVOD Glass tanks (always nice to have a backup on hand) and probably several ounces of juice. i really only vape to curve cravings for analogs... not really in it for custom modding.
510 ohm meter vape station(included ohm reader)Silver-black You mean something like this? Its an addiction my friend. Its not possible to have to much gear.
