Have any of you experenced this when starting out?

[Tera Bailey]

I am just about over week 2 right?

Ok vaping on my MVP 2. No big deal. Getting good vapage. Watching some YouTube checking some other products out. Mostly interested in what everyone says about flavors and such for simple things, I might be able to get and review myself on my channel. come across some dripper tanks and some other mini tanks... I am starting to see Deeper more larger vapers and my mouth grins and my foot begins to bounce... in my mind I am screaming YES!!! I want ohh wow do I sooo want..

Ithe tank styles, the amount of vaping, so thick so pure, looks like clouds like heaven spewing out of the mouth. (No Not being dirty in any way shape and or form) But I look at my mod and I am like you are good but they are so much better.... have not gotten this way since last time I had the cash to build up my computer systems and a new graphics card came out that can think for itself came out (Still has not happened but would be flipping cool)

Then I look at my account and ya...Equipment, accessories I want ya... taking 1/2 of the money I use to spend on tobacco and going to put it to Vapeing...

So anything like that happened to you all During your first time?

Still happens lol the struggle is real. Luckily there is constant innovation. Not so lucky for the wallet

I've been vaping for over 3 years now. Started out with the cigalikes and was able to stop smoking, but was disappointed with the battery life and limited options for juice delivery devices. I did more research.

I decided to skip the intermediate step up (ie an eGo setup), and went to a mechanical mod and cartotanks. Much better vape, and then tried variable voltage (regulated mod) at a vape shop. It sold me and I bought my first Provari. I thought that I had found my perfect vape ... well, at least for a couple of years.

Went to work for a vape shop for about a year. Learned to build my own coils in RTA and RDA's. I dropped using the cartotanks because of inconsistent carto quality and started using rebuildables exclusively. Been doing that for about a year now.

I think I've found MY perfect vapes again (...for now):

0.6 ohm dual coils in a Patriot RDA on a Silver Bullet mechanical mod.

1.5 ohm single coil in a Kayfun Lite Plus RTA on a Provari regulated mod.
​

Do to my financial situation, I've not purchased anything new in the last year or so. I'm fortunate that I was able to find two very fine setups some time ago which continue to serve me well.

My BLOGS offer the knowledge and experience I've gained over the years.

And thats just hardware. Prepare for the neverending chase for the perfect juice. then theres the DIY juice and the journey to nail down the perfect recipe

just a month and half of vaping for me. So yeah.. i hear ya.. i feel ya..

Now i own 2 nautilus tanks, 2 sub ohm tanks and 1 dripper with a eleaf 50w battery.

the 1000 mah battery and those cheap tanks that i bought at first, those i stopped using after the first week, it didn't cut it for me. In the weeks after i bought the stuff i mentioned above. I take my addiction seriously
Now i think i'm satisfied, there is nothing else that drastically can improve the vape. So now it's just practicing my builds and finding an awesome juice

I went through 3 PV's in my first year and have stayed there for the last 2 1/2 years. Talk about savings - all my stuff is interrelated and rebuildable so its longevity should not be numbered. I now can afford more vacations...

I like your mentality but don't be fooled lol. You can almost always drastically improve the Vape. You have hit a good ceiling but it's still a ceiling. I thought like you do with my Istick 50 also but got introduced to better tanks and temp control devices. Technology is always improving. The bad news is my wallet does not grow as fast as technology

Ya I just recorded my First ever review on a flavor I got. I am scared to post it because it is a negetive review on the flavor juice. It is my 2nd juice from the company and the first one Rocked I mean Kicked .... But this one had NOTHING to it... it was a 50/50 Blend but utterly taste less, at low volts up to 11 volts on my MVP 2... Not even a throat kick and it has 24mg nick...

Of course. But if you only spend half the money you spent on smoking, you still come out ahead. The great thing about a vaper's economy is that, once you have your basic equipment, then you can spend when you have the money, and not-spend when you don't -- which was not at all true of smoking; that money came right off the TOP!

I've spent a *fair* amount on vaping, despite being a compulsive penny-pincher... but I haven't spent nearly as much as I would have on cigarettes, and the vape stuff I bought... mostly I STILL HAVE -- minus the consumables like juice, wick, wire, etc -- vape stuff doesn't just turn into ashes.

Most juice reviews i've seen are with devices using higher wattage

I don't know what I did with that last comment. Apparently I zigged when I should've zagged

 

[Eekins]

Yeah .. I only started vaping maybe 3 of 4 months ago. Started off with an innokin VV4 and a mini protank 3, used it to quit smoking. Then I started craving more flavor, more clouds, more .. everything. Ive probably spent over a grand in gear and juices since I started. Was it worth it? I think so. In the last month I havent bought anything because Im all about DIY now. Coils and juices and Im well stocked up on those. Im satisfied with the power and flavor/cloud production. Its all about finding what you like. Some people it doesnt take too long to find. Some people inch their way to what they like not knowing what they want. Once youve found it .. its just so good

True that, but my girlfriend is already complaining how much i spent on it now. So for my relationship and wallet it's best for me to stick with the current gear (for now )

Now it's time for specialization and getting comfortable with the current equipment instead of buying "better" equipment. Otherwise it never ends, every week/month something new comes out. Perhaps in a couple of months i would like to find a good dripper. This time a more flavor based dripper or perhaps a better/stronger mod, something that i can change the battery's with.

arg!! stop putting ideas in my head!

 

[Ohm Gnome]

It's worse than cell phones lol. Every time I buy something seems like a week later the V2 or something better comes out.

 

[Burn1ngChrome]

Old cell phones cant even operate on current networks, but you can still vape eliauid on anything

 

[Ohm Gnome]

I didn't mean literally lol.

 

[Ohm Gnome]

But cellphones bought years ago still can work today. If I buy a phone today it can be outdated by tomorrow if they released a new one. Doesn't mean the one? I bought won't work. Just means the technology has been surpassed

Same for PCs ever since my first one, bought in 1989. I just try to stay current enough to be able to get the security updates; it scared the britches off me to keep using my old win XP system for a full year after it was obsoleted, but the budget dictates can't be argued with. The upside is that I got a new one this year with win 8.1 instead of 8.0 -- always a good idea with Microsoft ANYTHING, wait for the bug fix. And by waiting an extra year, I also got another year's benefit of.. what is that thing, Moore's law? I think? has to do with advancing technology and decreasing prices. So I got a truly awe-inspiring computer for a truly great price -- less than I spent on my first P4.

within 2 months (when I first started vaping) I had already bought 6 rbas a dna 30 and 3 other mods.... only about $250 into vaping and I have saved way more than that by not smoking. It is tough to keep from just buying everything out there, just put $20 a side per week and treat your self to a new mod now and again!
