It makes me cry to now know it with a physical number, but 63 at the moment.

It should be noted that I have yet to find my ADV, and most of those now sit untouched--half of 'em make me cringe every time I look at them. I really need to make a listing in the ads and get rid of some of this crap to make room for the next batch that may very well have that one great vape I have yet to order.

Waylon.....you and I are going to have to step it up. If we eat macaroni and cheese, crackers and milk and perhaps a slice of toast (no butter) in the mornings for a few months then we can buy tons of juice:p Seriously...I wouldn't be without for a little while, but I thought my little stash was overboard....guess I was wrong. Again... I still haven't found that flavor or two that I can't do without..maybe someday.
I havent found my magic either :( BUT i love good food and gotta pick that over vapes lol .Of course ,your method would help me lose the weight i want to ! :) Aww were ok ,we have enough .Some of these peeps are forgetting the "time value of money" theory i learned in accounting school tee hee :)

Approx 1130 ml within arm's-reach of my desk, of just my stuff. So that's what - 27-ish bottles? About half of that is V4L - the other half is split between about 10 other vendors, and *very*little of the rest is more than 10 ml of any one given flavor. I blame the excessive hoarding on the great waffle shortage of 2011... never did find a suitable non-V4L waffle... I also have at least 30 ml at work for emergencies. Hubby probably has another 200 ml or so in his cabinet. There's at least another 200 ml in the PiF box, and then there's another 100 ml or so of high nic-unflavored e-juice, jugs of PG/VG and some random flavorings in the zombie apocalypse stash.... let's not talk about the ridiculously huge number of cartos (prefilled, refilled, cleaned and blanks), k?

I sure did. That's why my wife laid the smack down on me. Deservedly. Kept trying new stuff, some tasted like cat urine scent in the back of my throat, some tasted like less-stagnant cat urine. Then I'd find one that was mildly vapable. I'd grab that supplier again as my single bottle dwindled down, hoping whatever tobacco base they were using was magic and could hit decency a second time, then find myself disappointed on the second order. And I'd move on. I will say that not enough places have trial/sample sizes lol. Boy, that woulda' saved a bundle.

It was either that, keep plugging, or fall back to the cigarettes--and I wasn't gonna' let that happen. Now I've got about 6 that I swap back and forth on, the rest are gathering dust, and I'm still searching (although the orders come in much smaller tries these days). I really envy those that find that ADV early on and know exactly what to order, only having to throw something odd in whenever they want to try something different. It'll happen some day, I'll find that lil' bugger(s) yet!

I have found that I prefer spicy, almost wood-toned tobaccos. Also enjoy certain menthols (which is odd, because I loathed menthol cigs). Cannot stand most fruit juices or perfumed spices, and only a handful of dessert vapes. But what makes it rough is the massive differences between vendors and same type/name juices.

If only one thing I can take away from it all thus far, I can say it's definitely a pot luck out there.

Pretty much a myth, I'm afraid. Texas has no state income tax, but that really only benefits the wealthy here - Texas is in the top 5 for regressive tax rate states - we pay far more in sales and excise taxes than most other states, and property taxes here are nearly 5 times what they are in California... when you look at the percentage of income going to pay taxes, those making under $100K are much better off living somewhere other than Texas... :)

I hear ya but a house is way cheaper right ? or ,more for you money then here in the cities at least ( fixer upper = 700k in a decent neighborhood in san jose ).What i was saying is that if i wasnt here i would save that cali state income tax. :) WOW you do have high prop taxes tho if its 5x cali !
 
I've got 10 in various states of use. 2 of which I'm not very fond of. I just got done with an all-day budgeting marathon, and reached a very sobering conclusion. I'll be down to those 2 flavors before I can buy any more juice. Why oh why did I choose now to try to be fiscally responsible???
