Have you ever lied or Hide your Vapors?

[Rossum]

I know I've seen the phrase "my biggest fear is that when I die, she'll sell my stuff for what I said I paid for it"... That wasn't you, was it?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I posted that in one of the Memes threads, because I thought it was funny, not because it's true in my particular circumstances.

I own a business, but my wife manages the money. She sees every credit card statement, every PayPal transaction, etc, etc. Unless I pay green folding cash for something, it's pretty much impossible for me to hide an expenditure from her.

I wouldn't say I lie to my hubs, I just forget to tell him about some of the purchases I make, mostly when it comes to juice. I just wait until it comes in the mail, proudly show him what I got, and when he says "I didn't know you ordered that" I just say " Oh, I ordered it about a week and a half ago. I know I told you, you must have forgot". Seeing as he only listens to me about half of the time he just goes along with it. If he tries to say I didn't tell him then I can whip out the old " You never listen to me" bit. Works like a charm

Never, and Ed doesn't lie to me either about it (His bacchus died and he got a vapor flask and sub tank this week) see we've been there and done that with trying to "police" a spouse's spending (and we've both got ex's too *lol*)

what can you have baby? anything you want! (now of course that makes you have to self govern, budget and pay for it and an understanding of "it is what it is" if you want it)

but no lying, no deception, everyone's happy

My husband just laughs and says that I am a e-cig/vape gear hoarder!

I do all of the finances. Since all of the bills are paid, he could careless what I buy.

Hide it from her...no. Justify my purchase by talking her into an upgrade as well....absolutely. If you are both using the same gear now, hiding it from her will just get you in trouble because she is bound to notice that you are not using the same equipment as her at some point.

Here is the fool proof way to do it.

Find two websites that sell what you are wanting, one with a high price and one with a low price and tell her "look this stuff is on sale and look how much we will save if we get it now!!"

If money is not the issue tell her you aren't getting the satisfaction from the device you have and want to try something new so you dont have to go back to smoking.

I recommend the atlantis, but have never tried the Kanger. I love my atlantis, and since getting it haven't even looked at any other options. just be sure to lower your nic level when you switch to it or you will get a serious rush of nic.

My wife quit long after I started vaping. She tried a Joye 510 and the eGo and didn't like the metallic nature of cigalikes. She asked the doctor for a prescription and just quit smoking. Yay for her! She's been faithful to her decision to quit, but says that there are times when she'd like to go buy a pack, but toughs it out and won't give in.

I think that's one of the reasons I've continued to vape for 5 years. I need and enjoy the hand to mouth thing that people tend to miss when they quit. Ecigs provide the pacifier effect and take away the desires to start smoking again. It's a relaxing habit even if you work your way down to low nic levels. I'm down from 24mg to 6mg and finding that 6mg satisfies me without any cravings. The AMA says a little nic is good for the brain processes and helps to ward off Alzheimer's.

I recently had an X-ray to make sure that the chest cold I had wasn't Pneumonia. It wasn't. It was just a bad chest cold, maybe a little Bronchitis according to the doctor. My X-ray turned out normal. I stopped at the hospital yesterday to get a copy on DVD. When I opened it, naturally I didn't know how to judge it so I Googled "Normal X-ray Images". Mine looks just like the sample image of a good, normal X-ray. It didn't come with a physician's narrative so I'm going to ask the doctor to fax me his copy of the radiologist's narrative and his own comments just to see if they saw anything I didn't.

I have to wonder if quitting 5 years ago and vaping may have saved me from some respiratory damage. Apparently, my lungs were able to heal in the last 5 years without continued smoking.

 

[slinco]

I do it all the time.
Thankfully my wife doesn't really care and never asks, as long as I don't go too crazy with it.

 

[BOZG]

Absolutely! In fact, 10 minutes I talked my wife into letting me get a new VV battery by telling her that there's a super special offer on (2 for the price of 1 and discounted heavily) mainly so I can openly vape on my Aspire CF and Nautilus Mini that I secretly bought last week and have been hiding from her. The package arrived a day later than I hoped (when I would be home to check the post before her) so I had pretend to be in desperate need of the toilet so I could run from the car to the postbox without her seeing. I'm an awful human being, I know.

My wife tried flipping that coin for years.

Until she finally figured out I was listening the whole time.

Dunno what took her so long. I spent nearly a decade confusing her with her own logic. [emoji23]

Nope, I wouldn't lie to my husband about it. Can I say that I don't pout occasionally when he tries to say no? Nope... He almost always gives in to that because he likes me to be happy. Mostly though, I use the technique mentioned by Marvel, I convince him that we both need an upgrade. Since he is also getting something he gives in a lot easier.

I feel bad buy my wife and I both vape and just bought both of us new batteries and Nautilus minis. I should mention we have about 5 different ego style batteries and 4 different clearmizers and I am always on the search for a better taste that is economical. Well I just discovered the Kanger Sub Tank and Aspire Atlantis and would like to buy one tomorrow and of course now I need a battery capable of sub ohms.

Here's the deal I told my wife I wanted to get a new tank and battery but just a few weeks ago I bought the Nautilus mini for her and I with better batteries and she responds with can we just use what we got for a while? Is it bad I'm still thinking about going ahead and buying one tomorrow? Have you ever had to hide your purchases or just fudge on what it costs? And if you're going to get the evil eye which is more worth it the Atlantis or Subtank? I'm thinking Subtank.

I'm married - 40 years. I earn it and if I feel I can afford it I buy it. If she wants something I will do everything I can to get it or help her afford it.

GET THE JOYTECH DELTA 2 better flavor them sub tank and better air flow them Atlantis and more power handling! Same price as the Atlantis the delta 2 also comes with rba could and prebuild lvc

 

[Ou2mame]

Me and my gf.. Might as well just say wife at this point... We just buy stuff...its just money. We wouldn't if we couldn't afford it, but 100 bucks isn't going to make or break anything.. But if it would, I certainly wouldn't buy it.

If your only reason for getting the Delta over the atlantis is air flow, you dont need it...I can literally breath through the atlantis. But I have nothing bad to say about any of the 3. Just saying the airflow on the atlantis is overkill for most.
