e-cig gadgets are addictive!

[zkz]

anyone else have this problem?
so far I have not saved any money after over 5 weeks of not smoking and have quite a collection going!
6 bats, 4 chargers, mini inverter for the truck to charge ANY bat, carts, cartos, lr attys, regular attys, 4 bottles of juice, 2 syringes... the list goes on and on... and on
does this make me an addict?

[rosesense]

nah, not with only 4 bottles of liquid. I have at least 100 but I am not addicted, just don't look at my signature

 

[cozzicon]

I'm leveled off on the acquisitions. Good equipment, juice I like, and people to vape with.

It's cheap now.

 

[whiskey]

Not any more than I....hee hee

 

[Jonmo1]

No, the smoking cigarettes made you an addict.
Now, You just have a different way of satisfying a "Pre Existing" addiction.


Once you get to sweet spot with the right hardware and juice, it will taper off...

zKz, just be aware that you are definitely not alone. I think (know) there are more than a few here who have the exact same problem. For my part, I can tell you this is costing me waaaaay more than my hand-rolled cigs. I stopped analogs on April 23, and since that time have acquired all the mods in my sig, along with close to 100 bottles of e-juice, a few dozen attys of various types, batteries galore, and who knows what else. I still can't stop looking for more PVs. It sure is fun, though.

Yep...same here. After about a month I got over the "kid in a candy store" routine. I've got equipment, spares and enough juice I really like (after trying a bunch) to last me at least a couple of months, so I do not foresee any further e-cig spending until the leaves start to turn.

Now my addiction has switched to trying to find someone in Puerto Rico who can ship me a couple of bottles of Bacardi Reserva Limitada.

I've spent over 2k since I started lol.

 

[keyzygirl]

Its not an addiction its a hobby.OK?

 

[jmaul99]

I've been vaping for a month and already have 7 batts( Magma and 801), a 3.7v box mod with 2 more batts, 5 different atty's and just ordered some lr cartos, and I have 20+ bottles of juice in different strengths and flavors. It has cost me more than smoking real cigs. but at least I'm healthier.

 

[Brewtus]

Im in the same boat as the OP... LOL, I have spent about $500 now on batts, atty's and juices.

Still looking for the perfect juice though...so far I have only found 1 that I REALLY like, the rest have been ok at best. And one batch I just got this sat was by far the worst ever...

...keep chasing the rainbow I guess

 

[JRBlood]

I'm with the rest of ya. Been in this a month now and since I love electronic toys.... well it's a perfect match!
Started with the NPro, then got my 510 kit from Kingpin with Cola and Ryan juice, and xtra tips. Now got 2 more attys, spare charger, and checking different juice vendors for that perfect vape.

 

[boxerdoglover]

I would much rather be an addict to pv than to cigarettes, so just enjoy the different flavors etc.

Yup. There are those who've said, "Well, you're just swapping addictions!"

At least this one's much less likely to kill me.

The mail lady might murder me before it's over, but that's a different tale.

 

[aj83]

My problem is buying Mods After doing one of those banners it says i will break even in 290 days

 

[cjf1961]

I have 7 ego's of different sizes, 7 510's, a provape1, just one of those, although it would seem that 7 is the lucky number, many, many juices, but mostly my own now and had to force myself to stop just to see how much I actually could save. Funny how the itch for more doesn't seem to go completely away.....lol

 

[gb_ibmguy]

Yup - GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

Happens to most of us, don't fight it, enjoy it

(It will level off in 6 months, or longer.....)

In the beginning I made lots and lots of purchases .. trying "this", trying "that". Took me a while to find juices I love, equipment I love, etc. I'm happy to be vaping and never planned it to save money, I planned on saving my life though. Oh, and I still buy "this" and "that" .. figure I traded an unhealthy addiction for a healthy one.

 

[gice]

i was spending $200 - $300+ a month on Marlboro reds for two decades.
That's now my budget for ecig paraphernalia. It's a good plan...
