Yeah... good luck with that. I said the same thing and made it a whopping 2 days without making a purchase (the longest stretch in 6 weeks) and then yesterday I dropped another $150 on stuff. lol But so far so good today though!

EDIT: Although I did go to buy a squonker on fasttech early this morning but CANDY15 no longer works, so I set it on the back burner for now.
Whoops!! I forgot, I placed an Amazon order this morning for silica gel packets to put in my stash boxes.

I looked at my cc bill and said oh :censored: this has to stop.

I've spent just under $3K on vaping in less than two months.

It stings when it hits in such a short time span, but...just think about all the months & years you're set for now. I'd add it all up and divide by the years it'll last you. Then compare that to what you would've spent on smoking for those same number of years. That ought to make you feel a whole lot better. :thumbs:

It just burns me up that the government is forcing us basically to do this all at once. Why can't I buy what I need when I need it? Nic, mods, tanks?

If you're going to buy your nic base from Heartland Vapes and will hit the $50 Free S/H order amount anyway, (or by adding bottles & caps to your order or some flavoring, PG, or VG)...I'd get the 8oz. amber bottles for $.99 each and a few 4oz. for $.89 each there, too. You can choose to include the cap with the polycone liner...for an additional $.25 each. Or, you can order the bottles without a cap, and then order the caps separately for just $.17 each for the 8oz. size and $.16 for the 4oz. size. Why there's a price difference that way...I don't know. You can also try the code vapemag to see if it still reduces your total by 5%.
Thanks for that, JC. I don't really need a whole liter, but have/need vs. need/have & all that. So I'm thinking about it and will try the code if I pull the trigger.

But I think I prefer clear bottles (harder to find) to monitor, and the rate I go through nic, I might get 2 oz. Found these with poly cone caps, if anyone prefers clear and is interested. $0.96 each. There's also a dozen 4 oz version for $13.99

I took the money from my new clothes budget for the next 6 months or so LOL. I can make last years 3x sweats work this winter on my 1x body. Really I can. ;)

Actually I doubt I have spent $50 a year on vaping for the last 3-4 years. I had the cash tucked back to handle this load. I don't for the most part do credit cards at all.

I'll put a pack of gum on my credit card cause I want the 2% cash back! :lol: Love my cash back. I had the money, still hurts to spend it on vaping, especially at Christmas. I've done this calculation many times but at the rate I smoked it would cost me $3,650/year and I smoked cheap cigarettes. So if I still smoked I would spend $3,000 in about 10 months. I've spent $3,000 on vaping to last my entire lifetime (hopefully, and hopefully I'm around a long long time).

I've made it to the point where my vaping shipments fit on one page - progress!

Not shown is that extra 510 tool I ordered today.

To go:
One more order of gt ccell 2 coil packs from vaprzon, using my 20% off code

Order of modmaker 510 squonk connectors/washers/large positive nuts, for future rebuilds - gotta check with Igor at broscience vapes, ask him to include what I'm looking for in his next order from England.

Why can't I buy what I need when I need it?

In a nutshell...IMO, it's because the uninformed and/or misinformed, greedy, fake do-gooder, :censored: in Washington and elsewhere are deciding, as usual, that American adults shouldn't have the right to choose what they buy/use and when. Afterall...they know what's best for us, better than we do. ;)

    I bought a vaporesso podstick a couple weeks ago and so far really like it so I thought I'd shop around for a couple more. After 4-5 sites, I landed on eightvape. I added two to my cart and before honey could even pop up, my price in cart changed from 17 each to 9.95 each. For some reason their site automatically applied a discount code. I went ahead and let honey try but I already had the best price.

    I do the same thing for cash back. I have friends who use their debit card only and aren't interested in a cash back card although they have regular cc's.
