...someone PLEASE come and take my credit card away from me!!

What I've purchased in the last 9 days (vast majority of it this week) since I became a 'vaper'.

(2) Volt X2s
CE3 cartomizers and T3 Clearomizers for my X2s (Smokeless Image)
(15) 15ml bottles of e-juice (Heather's, Mt Baker, Backwoods Brew, Smokeless Image)
(15) 3ml bottles of e-juice (local B&M)
(15) prefilled sample cartomizers (Smokeless Image)
(1) Provari Mini, Red (Provape)
(1) Tatroe Base & Ring (CigTechs)
(2) Kanger Protanks (Smartvapes)
(2) Triple V Pyrex 4ml Premium cartotanks (Valley View Vapes)
(10) assorted drip tips (GotVapes, Vices Electronic)
(1) Loki Beauty Ring (Vaper Venue)
(1) Nitecore I4 Charger (Amazon)
Assorted other misc stuff (batts, tank tool, cart punch, repl heads, etc)


...and the jury (those panzies! ...they don't know how to say, "NO!") is still out on these items:


INNOKIN iTaste VV V3
*ANOTHER* Provari Mini, Black
2 IBTanked 22mm cartotanks
2 Big Daddy "lil Mama" 3ml cartotanks

I'm not going to tell you how much I've spent - some of you could probably guess a good ball-park number, I'm sure - let's just say, while I'm not yet into kidney-selling or male-prostitution territory :ohmy:, a sizable portion of a work bonus is gone. :facepalm:

Thankfully, I'm not married, so I don't have to deal with THAT torture! :p

Well, I thought some might find this interesting - in that, "I thought I was crazy, but THIS GUY IS CRAZY!" kind of way.

Can't chat now, gotta go update my VaporJoes page! :D

Not for me, never again ...been down that rabbit hole. I have no patience for women (or young children) anymore.

On the one hand, ouch! On the other hand, I know how you feel about that rabbit hole.

And nice collection of goodies! Tomorrow I'm ordering some stuff, but nothing as fancy as a Provari Mini. I am very happy for you, maybe a bit envious, too.

So if I come and take your credit card away do I get to use it? :p

I don't pay anywhere NEAR $10/pack ...yikes! ...but the math is something I've never done, so:

A 1.5-PAD smoker. My brand of a carton of cigarettes cost me $35.

1.5 PAD for 365 days = 548 packs,
10 packs to a carton = 55 cartons,
55 cartons x $35 = $1925

That certain does put some perspective on it.

Yikes! That's quite a list....think we've all done this to more or less an extent, this one's certainly more! I say don't stress over it, OP's make the good point anything spent on the new hobby is money not spent on cigs, that's a good thing...now that I'm somewhat established with gear, one rule I try to budget by is not to spend more in 1 month than I would've spent on a week's worth of cigs, for me that's $100 and most times I don't spend up to that anyway. And I always ask myself "will getting this new tank/device REALLY be any better than what you've got now?", that helps me not pull the trigger too....but I know, sometimes you just gotta have it!....hey, looks like you're getting some great equipment there, enjoy it!

You've got GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). Don't worry, it passes with time but it comes back in waves. Just make sure you do your research and come out of it with good gear.

Sent from my A500

"GAS", LOL! That's the first time I've seen that particular acronym, and it made my day. :laugh:
