How many is too many?

[Nic-O-Fiend]

Hey everyone,

Nic here with a quick (possibly idiotic) question. At what point does a vape collection get to be an obsession and too much to handle. I recently ran into a sales person at my local vape store who told me he has over 100 different batteries, carts, atomizers, mods and the like. Not that I couldn't fathom that many accessories, but to which point does the hobby end and the addiction to nicotine become something worse then when you were smoking analogs? He was bragging about vaping more than 20ml's of juice a day of 24mg, is that even safe? Hahaha.

Anyways, I appreciate any feed back guys

thats alot of effin' nicotine...

Wow! 20ml @ 24mg is a lot (equivalent to roughly 1 1/2 cartons of analogs a day) seems pretty outrageous. Usually when I'm on my vamo a lot I go through 3 1/2 to 5 ml a day.

Good question. I've only been in the real vapin world for less than a week.
I was store brand e-cigs till then. I started off with a nice kit 4 days ago.
Then today I had to go and add more clearamizers, a vv battery, an extra charger, etc.
Then I find myself tonight surfing the web for more stuff. I'm hoping that I don't get too carried away.

To me that seems obsessive as far as my collection goes I try to upgrade my stuff sure but then I try to upgrade my close friends with the things I don't use but don't want to spend the money doing so

Well, I suppose there are folks out there who will take anything to extremes.

At this point, we can't be sure if vaping 20ml of 24mg per day is any less safe than vaping 2ml of 6mg per day. In general though, I believe that anything done in excess has a far greater likelihood of being harmful. He's probably vaping at extremely high wattages to go through that much juice that quickly. There just aren't enough hours in the day for someone to vape that much at 7.5 watts.

As for the collection, if it's his thing, then I guess it's his thing. As long as he's not in danger of putting himself out of house and home, then more power to him. Counting all my equipment (including DIY accessories) I'm probably in excess of 100 items, but it's not as "bad" as it sounds.

Is it?

I'm still on an EVOD VV with pro tank mini and it takes me about a day to finish it a whole tank. Unless I'm partying on the weekend then I might go through a tank and a half. And I'm still on 18mg. Want to cut down to 16mg-12mg by the summer.

In terms of accessories I find myself to be the person who saves and spends a lot of money on one thing instead of 10 little things. Saving up for a sweet MOD and RBA. Although, last visit to my local vape shop, I did get enough coils for my pro tank to last me a year at least, hahaha. But I know the feeling of wanting something spur of the moment and getting it, so I don't shun anyone for having that many accessories.

 

[Streamlined]

That's a lot of juice

 

[RoseB]

20 mL of 24 mg nicotine is a lot. I go through about 10 mL of 11 mg a day sometimes 15 mL. As far as owning lots of stuff....well. There's some folks on here that own just about everything It's fun though, and better than smoking cigarettes.

 

[dvdgroover]

Mods n accessories can b kind of addicting lol

 

[TheReign]

***k me sideways... thats a bit extreme at 20ml a day 24mg. how much nicotine does one person need????

 

[sky4it]

I think dat is too much nicotine even for a full blown vaperman to consume, yes i do, that is a whole lot of nicotine, too much.

 

[retrox]

There's definitely a "replacement therapy" sort of thing going on with many people and the shopping. No matter how you slice it though, I'd rather have 1000 mods than COPD. Any day.

 

[DetraMental]

It sounds a bit obsessive, but to each their own. My ex owned about 30 guns and still buys more...ya can't shoot but one, maybe two if you're really good, at a time. I think I'm all eGo'd out though, I have about 13 of them in various forms and I've given some away. I only have 5 mods: iTaste 3vv, MVP2, VTR, Vamo2, and a Provari. I think that's a bit much but I love them cuz they all provide me with what I want and I can rotate my flavors easier. Anyway Happy Vaping!

 

[derecola]

I got the bug bad....

 

[MikeJA]

Yeah, that's a lot of nicotine for one day.

As for how many devices is too many, I think it just depends on whether one gets into vaping as a hobby or simply leaves it as a means to stay away from cigarettes. I'd say have at least two backups.

You have confused too completly different things..
1: boytoys
2: nicotine addiction

 

[Papa_Lazarou]

Okay, just did a quick count. Um... 100 items is not crazy. Really... it's not.

As for the nic, though, he's either exaggerating or built up a Hulk-like tolerance. That's just cray cray.

 

[sky4it]

That is so much nicotine that person like they wanna eat nicotine , chew it, put it in there hair, and turn it into there fingers, whew.........

 

[klynnn]

The guy must have plenty of bucks to waste that amount of juice or else he is a braggart and an idiot combined which today seems to be the norm.
