Breaking my rules. Here's how it went

[Spencer87]

Start vaping to get off smokes. I won't get in to the hobby of it. I'll never get a mech. I don't wanna build my own coils
OK maybe I will. But I won't ever sub ohm. ... Okay maybe I will. But 0.7 is my limit. Okay maybe 0.4... K 0.3 but I will never buy an authentic. Too pricey. Clones for me. Okay maybe just one. OK... I'll buy one more before I even get the first.

I gotta stop setting up these rules. Lol keep breaking them. That reflects my vaping over last 5 months.

I know how ya feel. Looking my first real mod that i said i'd never buy. The key is to have goals, not rules.

This sounds really, really, really familiar.... Not sure why... ( yes I am)

 

[Spencer87]

The wallet hurts I've spent double the amount I would have on smokes, on vaping... Lol

 

[danca90]

I feel ya. Always said "I won't get married".

Hahaha.....yeah, that one always seems to sneak up on you (it did me).

That's ok for now. There is a period early on when you need to invest in some decent equipment. Once you get settled in, have a collection of reliable gear and a few juices that you really like, the costs *usually* start going down. UNLESS, of course, you are a member of the 'gotta have the hottest new ecig gizmo of the week' club. Then, the SKY is the limit. lol.....

 

[edyle]

The rules are for the first 11 months of the year, then it's CHRISTMAS!!

I always said I would NEVER rebuild or build a coil, much too masculine techno-geek..

I have 2 Kayfuns and an Igo-S that I love, a Caterpillar and RSBT that I detest. But I've built coils for all of 'em, and also for the T3S's and mini protanks that came first. And I have acquired some marvelously masculine techno-geek tools... a vise! Drillbits out the yinyang. Needle-nose pliers. Noalox.

I also said I would never quit smoking... et voila! 95 days into my SECOND time quitting... of course there wouldn't have needed to be a 2nd time if I hadn't gotten appendicitis and became unable to vape for 4 days, but such is life -- if you want God to laugh, just tell him your plans.

[Spencer87]

I was proclaiming I wouldnt build From the rooftops. Now all my Vape Saavy friends are laughing at me... as I Wont do Tanks.

 

[EvlSmrk]

Sounds like every set of rules everyone initally starts with...at least nowadays. As long as you're staying off the stinkies, it's all good. The upfront getting setup part always hurts, but once you're solid, you should be fine on the spending...unless you don't want to be.

I know how you feel. I think its been like three weeks for me so I am still working towards getting a comfortable system set up and it seems like every week my wish list of parts grows more and more.... so far I got the mod and a large Nautilus tank... but then of course the one bat. is a pain so I found a deal 6 batteries for $20... ordered that... need a huge charger to fit all those... so that comes this Friday.. oh and I was never going to build coils... so last week I got one of those Mutation X's to play with because I want to get a big dipper to solve altitude problems I am having... so that is on my wish list... and oh yeah I want to get th Nautilus mini just because its smaller and might look better and of course with the Mutation I have to now get tools like pliers and what not but I already got the wick and wire... have not made my first coil yet...and oh they came out with that Istick kind of mod I want to check out so that is now on my wish list soon to purchase and of course Daddy wants a Provari 3 after x-mas season.... the list goes on and on and on but I am in hopes it will settle down at some point. Having a horrible time getting supplies here which is the biggest pain of all but when everything is all said and done I am still saving $50 a week on cigs... so.... at some point it will pay off.

Heh, I know how you feel! Good thing my husband has had a lot of landscaping oddjobs this year, because it seems like I needed 20 new and different things a week! Now got a whole line up of mods, so many that I leave one of them there with all the vape stuff to be used for dryburning coils.

Currently I've decided to give the shinyitis a rest, and concentrate on DIY; already got nicotine, though I do need more for freezer-stashing, and got a qt of PG and a pint of VG, so now I have to buy about 100 diff flavors. But buying the stuff isn't the hard part -- reading all those DIY threads is!!

LOL! Yup I have the DIY bug sitting in the back corner of my brain waiting to rear its ugly head... its just right off in the distance waiting for that day when I have that brief feeling of mod satisfaction... This getting to be like mastur...ion... all the desire, guilt and satisfaction all rolled in to one... its just crazy

I did not break rules yet (after half a year). I use tanks (cotton wicks), I do not own mech mod (but may buy one as a cheap spare to spare). I do have RDA and RBA: I needed them just to check whether I am missing some important joy that can improve my life. But after I have tired RDA and RBA I decided that small improvement in vaping they supply does not worth a possible bit of my health they probably will demand. It’s not that I am some health nut, I joyously drink even thou drinking can shorten my life; I just do not drink Brazilian beers like Budweiser, they do not worth even a tiny bit of my health.

 

[Asbestos4004]

I told myself I wouldn't buy 1of everything. I don't have a Glas Mod. So far, so good.

 

[twall]

Gawd, is this me to a T. Almost rule for rule. No mechs. No sub ohm. Just like you said. I haven't gotten an authentic - well, an expensive one - but it's coming.

I also said RDAs were dumb, and I'd never drip.

 

[chopdoc]

I dont mind all the gizmo's I got as long as I dont ponder on what I spent. Its hiding the new shineys from the missus thats the hard part. Gotta time them deliveries so they arrive when I am at home and she isnt!

But I am a master at hiding stuff. The missus still doesnt know about the airplane I bought in 2009
