I feel the same way! Started with a V2 kit in October and quickly graduated to K1 and Spinner, then Provari and Russian and now rebuilding all coils and beginning a collection! Also still have an open pack of analogs in my vehicle which I haven't touched and love opening the console and looking at it with a smirk! Thanks to this wonderful website and all it's members!

Congrats! 20 years a smoker here and I dropped that habit immediately after vaping 4 weeks ago.

Started with and ego kit. Now I rotate a mech/rda, MVP2 (thank you again Bugga!), and a Vamo V5. All the pieces for a homemade 6800mah ZMAX are on the desk, just waiting on a soldering iron and a free weekend.

My computer gaming desk is now a vaping station with a pc on it taking up too much room :)

I've had the same pack of smokes on my dash for 3 weeks, I've now been completely smoke free for 2 weeks. My collection too is growing, I'm using several different styles of vv devices and tanks but I've bought some mods and RBA's just haven't had a chance to experiment with them yet. :vapor:

Spending more on vaping gear than on analogs, but I'm less stinky and much happier! Good luck!

Even if one buys a mod a month, just figure how much out of pocket/deductable/copay money is NOT being spent on surgery/chemo/radiation/doc's boat payment/etc from the hospital trips we can avoid!

Remember also the expense with analogs for replacing burned garments, furniture, etc. Back in college we had a name for those little holes in a shirt from combustion: potholes! Well, that was back in the late 70s... If I remember correctly... :)

I'm sure glad I found the forum. I have learned bunches, and will continue to do so! Met some great folks here, including a chance meeting of a fellow forum member in a local B&M today! (hello Jamie, got my kayfun coiled, working great!)

Keep vaping!

Safe travels
 
Way to go! I started smoking a pack of cigarettes a day at 13. I'm very active and slowly felt them slowing me down. I bought my first vape starter kit so I could smoke at work, in restaurants, etc and ended up quitting in a month on accident. I haven't touched an anolog in 4 months and have no desire to. In my eyes these things are miracles. Now I have 3 ego twists at home and a mechanical mod in the mail. From habit to hobby!
I have (had?) a 40+ year tobacco habit, 1 month into vaping and I haven't smoked an analog in week. Still carrying a pack I've had for 2 weeks when it falls apart and I throw it away I'll have gone from habit to hobby. Thanks to ECF for helping make it possible for me to move from an Ego starter kit to VV to mech mods and RBA's and get rid of a habit that for me has been impossible to break for over 40 years. Vaping is wonderful thing!
