    ....
    How can people afford to smoke? I spend about $1.25 per week total for my wife and I to vape (liquid cost, does not include hardware I would typically stock up on every 2-3 years prior to this fiasco, which was not that much)

    I live in Arizona where the prices are one of the highest in the country. It's ridiculous. To be fair I used to roll my smokes. It was the only way I could afford to do it.

    Yeah, I have exactly 25 outstanding orders right now on top of the dozen and a half or so that I have already received... I have a ton of tabs open in my browser with the order info and tracking.... I'm worried I will miss something (They're from all different vendors and most of them I do not know). I probably over-bought, but I can rest assured I will have enough nic and hardware for my wife and I for the rest of our lives... And what I spent was still way less than what we would spend on smoking in a year (based on cigarette prices from 12 years ago, I have no idea what they go for now).

    You would think that being as prepared as I am that I would be less anxious right now, but my anxiety is through the roof.
    I know the feeling, I look at my stock and think is this enough? Then I look at how long my things have lasted and how long I have been vaping and I think no worries :)

    One way is by stealing. I had a carton in my car at my house. When I went out to get them, car had been broken into and the carton was gone.

    My problem is that I keep thinking I am done, and then my mind starts asking "what if...?" I now have backups for my backups that also have backups and a variety of those things in-case there is some unforeseen issue with a certain brand in the future. Plus multiply all of that by two because my wife vapes as well.

    That is harder than I have it, hubby does not vape, so just for one. My own opinion is everyone should have least one Provari (Classic, P3, or Radius)for long lasting and several other regulated mods for variety, some mech's with protection and some squonkers for variety and a Reo lp for long lasting. But that is just my opinion LOL

    I dont remember where I was, I meant to go back but I got lost on my journey but I found a vape store online selling a bunch of squonkers for under $20. I wondered about them being so cheap and all.

    Welp, the banhammer for liquid in WA will be voted upon 10/9. I’m still set for gear (FINGERS CROSSED) but I’m tempted to do one more run through for liquids. It just depends on how angry I stay today.

    Sorry for the non sequitur. Just needed a place to vent.
