I lucked up. There was a local B&M in town (found it after I found the V2) that sold cartos and juice by the bottle. After my initial purchase, I never made another purchase from them again. The B&M even had a flavor that was pretty close the V2's Saraha, which I really liked.
As for the madness... Perfect word for it. The Super-T ELA was supposed to be my one and only mech that would round out my vaping gear and be the last "high end" pv id have to purchase... Blahahaha... Pre-ordered in February of this year. Since then I've picked up 2 P+'s, a Noble 1 and two PAP's LUX's (and seriously considering a 3rd plus additional LUX tubes).
I blame David for this!!!
(edit... Thank's for reminding me Pete... consider the Nemesis Celeste too... Damn, what's wrong w/ me?
