That is lovely! I'd love to get one more thing and that would be it, but am hesitant as it is from China and I'm already waiting on a package that hasn't moved since the 5th of August....:(

But, that is a beautiful set up you have there! Vape in good health!! :)
I did order one thing from China on Aug 6 and it hasn't shipped yet, it was a small order as a test :) So I know what you mean.

I need a couple mech mods and a few more reg mods and I think I should be okay. Or maybe I'm just sick of shopping &/or snooping around for deals every single stinkin' day for the past few months. I honestly don't know. I should take a proper inventory of what I have and then decide.

How is everyone else determining that they're truly done?

Taking inventory is a very good idea! I've been doing that as I go along, and I know I do have enough, but....but... but, there's always that extra such and such that has caught my eye, and I feel I can justify it cause of the times we are in right now. I have more toppers than I'll probably ever use along with reliable mods that should pass the test of time, including REOs. I'm sure there are going to be some failures along the line, so I'm trying to prepare for that by purchasing even more of the reliable and time tested devices.
I have old gear from past years that is still working very well, so I have those to fall back on if needed.

I just received vape mail a little over an hour ago! Ordered an Aeolus Lite by Syntheticloud and bought a white chuff cap for some matchy matchy with my devices. Ordered it this past Saturday night, shipped to Austin. I've heard great things about the Aeolus line, don't currently have a top airflow RDA as I was please with my current side and bottom airflow RDAs, thought I'd be open minded and try something different. Also, perfect to take in the car, out and about, store in my pocket because the top airflow and o-rings are very tight, damn near leak/over juice proof if used in a normal manner, not recklessly. I sometimes baby my atomizers because I paid a lot for them, worried about scratches (I'm not OCD but pretty damn close when it comes to "looks"). Here's a photo taken just now, nicked myself on palm from knife opening the package, I blame that on excitement, atomizer has fingerprints, had to immediately put a built in it and try it out..

.. the form factor was also a selling point. IMO, she's beautiful. Not that expensive for an authentic either. Very well made. Machining and materials used is top notch. I would highly recommend to advanced users. Flavor, all depends on your wattage/voltage, how good you wick it, and airflow. So far, top notch in the flavor department also. But yeah, thought I'd post to inform everyone that I had no issues at all since this is my first shipment received after 8/8. Package got here earlier than expected also.

Yo Mr Roberts, online tends to be way cheaper.
Like you I used to like to drive and associate with folks. But the way things are
I'm beginning to dread driving anywhere for several reasons,
one is that I look a lot like that pic above and that attracts those blue fellows with guns.

The other being that courtesy and consideration are rare here
and rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
The customer is no longer always right. When I do Home Depot
I usually end up helping other customers 'cause the store personnel could care less.
(understandable if you know what HD pays them and the lack of benefits)
I'm planning a trip to HD tonight to purchase some wood to make a double keyboard stand and a little roof for one of my window AC units.
I'm considering eating a valium already...

Regards,
Hazy

lol I know right. I had to help someone find an isle too! xD

I only enjoy the indoored a/c'ed bamboo room and cactus section my last visit though and breathing the fresh air, although atm it's around the 100's in Texas. I don't shop there much either. As I'm constantly buying online as well..

First I took care of all of my "need" list purchases.:) Then I took care of all of my "want" list purchases. :) Then I added a handful of "dang I shouldn't have tried that because now I like it and need more" purchases.:eek: ;) Lastly I tried to make a list of anything else I should get and 24 hours later my list was still empty :shock: That's when I knew I was done. :thumbs:

I just checked my list- 15 regulated (most are provari) 6 mech (Reo in there), 27 tanks (25 are rebuildable) plus I have about 300 coils/cartos combined plus carto tanks, CE16's and older school stuff. I feel well stocked.

Oh, my! You are set! After reading that, and comparatively speaking, I am pretty sure I am not.

I'm fairly certain I don't need as much as you have, but from reading subsequent replies to my question, I should get another Provari, a couple more reg box mods, and three or four more tanks. Oi.

Bnrkwest. I have more but you win :(
9 mechs, 16 regulated, 36 rba's, 2 nautilus (maybe 3) and not one coil. + that weird aspire cf thing. Not sure which category
But I don't have a single provari or reo :cry::(:cry::(:cry:
Great job! Now to just get a Provari and Reo and you are all set! :)

I think it is all what you are comfortable with too. When I started I had nothing, only one older Provari mini, nothing rebuilable, I was still using cartos and CE16's! LOL So I had a lot to get :)

I don't know about you bnrkwest. I don't regret buying anything but if I had my time again i wouldn't waste some money where I did. Treebox, vamo and Kbox are in that group. Liked them at the time but now they only ever appear in 'am I all set yet' lists. :nah:

Yeah!!! :banana::rickroll::toast::party:
U guys are the best. It turns out that I am amiable (edit; possibly affable, what I lack in vocabulary, I make up for in rba's) after all, or perhaps you guys are too generous with your likes.
Either way, I've finally equalled my likes received and messages posted.

That's my days work done. Phew

Now il just sit back and :pop:

I don't regret any purchases either, I am pretty pleased with my stash :) there are quite a few things I didn't try but don't feel bad I didn't. I still might try the Pangu tank just for fun tho :)

That was a great strategy :) It was really boring for me getting replacement parts, but once that was done I had more fun getting shiny things LOL
