Addiction to purchasing every single e-cig and juice/flavor within your financial means is a well-known side effect of discovering this forum.

Between the reviews that assure us that *this* e-cig will blow your mind and make you forget analogs (I'm sure no one said this - it's just what I hear) and the fact that most of us have "addictive personalities" by nature (gross assumption on my part), I have found that I cannot BEAR the thought that there is a better e-smoking experience out there that I haven't tried.

I have finally found a great device [M401] that has allowed me to quit analogs for the last three weeks! That in no way stopped me tonight from purchasing one of the Bloog/Smoke51/LoongTotem starter kits. I HAVE to know if it's any better.

Am I a Rube? [You can tell me]

Am I just a Geek who simply MUST test every device in order to feel confident in his selection/recommendation to others? [Rhetorical - of course I am]

Should I hire someone to hit me in the head anytime I get the urge to type my PayPal password? [Actually, I think my wife would volunteer]

I think this is what happens when addictive chemicals + technology enthusiasts cross paths....

How many e-cigs do you own, and have you finally found "the one"?

Lol! I can identify with that! The only reason why I don't own a cigar starter kit is because it was sold out--so I bought a disposable one instead ;)

I pretty much stick to my minis and penstyles--wouldn't want to be without either--but I keep buying spares and juice. So far I'm spending about the same as I used to spend on smoking, and every time I tell myself that this will be the last order for a while...

i would own more. Had i not went with janty after a smokeeverywhere.
i do at this point own a Kiss box, mini fogger, DSE-901 from lintz69 when he had em.
so far i got to say i love the 901 all around but if i am only in the mood to drip my kb takes it with the usb pass thru. but cart wise a semi-dripper the 901 wins.
Waiting on PS stock and might even get the new 401 or even something else.
i have spend a boat load on devices but i am narrowing down my favorite one.

Then i am selling off the rest to other ecf members when the time comes.

Well I know I'm not done because I'm still waiting for the Jantystick! I do try to keep along the lines of the penstyle....but anything that attaches to that atomizer is up for grabs...lol

Sometimes I do get sucked in by "new and improved" but if I wait for reviews, I usually find it's not much better than the last model....they all seem to have their quirks.

So maybe the Jantystick will be my last ecig purchase but then again, maybe not! :D

I got lucky.. I got the M401 as my SECOND e-cig and it did the job. I do find myself constantly wondering if I would like the EVO or the Dura "better", but to be quite frank... for the price... I am not willing to buy every e-cig on the market to find out lol! I wil wait until someone who LOVES their 401 tells me they have found something better than it. Cause I love mine... but I am off to buy more juice this weekend... True Menthol is great... but I need to find a VG I can use by itself without any PG mixed for flavor because allergies and hives are killing me!

Couldn't agree more. I have a fair collection of them now.. I don't have any e-pipes, but cigars, minis, pens, etc. My favourite of them is the Intellicig Evo as a "cigarette replacement" and I am also using my penstyle 801's a lot. The Evo is almost "the one".

However, my most recent buy has been the Joyetech 510 which I'm hoping will turn up next week. Maybe my last buy. Probably not :D

OH THANK DOG!!! Then I'm not the only one.... I've only been using these devices for 2 weeks and I've already got enough in the way of cigs and spare parts to get me through a national emergency equivalent to a level 5 alien invasion! The wife has already reached the point where she gives me the stink eye every time the postman walks up the drive. and I keep saying the same thing. "This is my last one for a while"....

I've pre-ordered a 510 too. I doubt it'll be my last buy though. Have to wait and see on that one. :)

I do have an ePipe. The 601 from e-cigs.co.uk. Still producing great vapour.

You should see my e-cigs drawer, about 6 complete 901 kits, a cigar, a disposable cigar, 4 Intellicig EVOs, many, many penstyles in white, black and silver, juice of many flavours, many forgotten full and half full bottles of liquid can be found and now 2 extra pure menthol bottles and on Monday hopefully some Totally Wicked banana!!

I guesws I am one of you as well. I have known about e-cigs for about six weeks now. I have my fifth kit coming any minute. I also have the whole "living room" supply depot going as well YICKS!!!! How did this happen???:p:confused::evil:

Thats almost an e-cig a week!! I remember when I first started vaping, it was the classic penstyle with 2 atomisers. One atomiser was bad at the start and the other became a wimp in the second week!! I bet you can guess that I bought a 901 at the second week and then more penstyles at week 4 as I flooded by batteries hehe, more 901s at week 6 and so on!! I have always stuck to generics tho apart from the Intellicig EVO simply because I get worry about ordering from abroad! I do like my generics tho, they get me by just fine :) and I still smoke a penstyle and have far fewer problems than I did back in the summer when I started.

You know, I keep telling myself that as well. However, I also find that with the looming threat of a ban I justify my collection as an emergency supply.

I also entertain hopes of someday starting a video review site [wouldn't THAT justify having all these e-cigs?], but between my 50 hours/week job, my 18 month old son, and my addiction to this forum, I seriously doubt I have the time - so that's just another excuse to hoard.

Oh well... off to the hardware store to buy a bigger e-cig locker :D

Mrwade01, do what I do,Have them sent to your work LOL.
LOL, I wish! However, with the exception of the few weeks that I'm allowed to spend on keeping my business alive, I'm a stay at home Dad. And when I am working the business, I'm normally somewhere out in the middle of the desert digging really big holes.
