Considering my new years resolution a success. Kicked Pipes and Cigars since January.

[EverPresentNoob]

So this January my kid talked me into putting away my Cigars and Pipes. To assist in this I went and found a local Vape Shop and talked with them and with a few of the customers and ended up with a Vision Spinner II and a Nautilis Mini. Bought a couple different bottles of juice and thought I was set... Boy what I didnt know... Now its April, and while I havent had a Pipe or Cigar since mid-January, I have bought three Mech Mods, a Sigelei Mini, and Smok BX65, Melo tank, Atlantis tank, SubTank Mini, and 4 RDA's... Plus bottle after bottle of various e-juice... Im loving building coils and setting up different drippers, and I love the flavors in my tanks but I am NOT saving any money... But I am off the Leaf so I guess its all good...

Welcome... just give it another 6 months and you will have twice as much. Now it's time to check out the DIY section. Actually you will save it just takes time.

Good work, you should be encouraged! Most people don't value good health until it is interrupted. You took a positive step to change your life before that happened and if the only cost was monetary then you are fortunate indeed.

Congratulations! And consider yourself lucky — It took me at least a couple of years to get into mods, rba/rda and other high performance devices. I wish I had done it from the beginning, would have had a much better vape! I've been off the analogs 4 or 5 years now. Every once in a while I take a drag off of my GF cigs. First drag is ok, but after that tastes terrible. Nasty stuff! Always need that apple vape chaser to get the awful taste out of my mouth. It's money well spent. And I suspect it's just fulfilling your newfound shinny object obsession at this point.

CONGRATS on quitting and welcome to ECF and yes the world of building is what I refer to s a rabbit whole just when you think you have had enough something else comes out that is shinny and new and you have to add it to your already borderline hording collection but I must say I am have a great time doing it

best wishes

I have kept my new years resolution for the last 15 years. 15 years ago I resolved to never make another new years resolution. I do things when I want to not by a calendar date.

But great on the quitting smoking.

Another pipester. No cigs, pipes or cigars for me since December. I know what you mean ... its a slippery slope, this new hobby. Now i have a collestion of briars & tobacco and a cooler full of stogies that im pondering what to do with.

Congrats on the quit!

Hi EverPresentNoob and welcome.

I too was a pipe smoker, and cigars once in awhile. Good pipes and cigars are expensive also. I have 35 or 40 brier pipes that are now collecting dust. Both you and I stopped smoking in January. Jan. 1 was my stop date. I don't have all the toys that you do yet, but I'll catch up. I just got my DIY supplies in the mail today. This should help me save some money. Maybe you should think about DIY. It's really good to see another pipe smoker here.

Congratulations
