Wow, I thought it was just me . Fortunately, my wife got into vaping the same day I did. I'm constantly buying her new gear (I'm a giver). Any extras I seem to be able to use just fine. It took months to get her from an ego to an Anyvape CVI 1. That was, of course, after getting the ego 650 to 1000 mah's, to spinners/twists, and then to ego V's. It's an effort but I'm getting her there. For me, the adjustment to better equipment has been easier....seems to come natural. I just go with the flow. Fortunately, I smoked so much in my previous life that I almost cannot spend more than I smoked, but I am drawing the line at deficit spending. That limits me to about $20 per day, and her about $5 per day, so If I keep my spending in check at about $25 per day, I'm doing good I think. I had thought initially that vaping would save me a bunch of money. That's simply not true. Spend a little time finding the top 20 or 25 best vendors out there and you'll discover that you're lacking a whole bunch of stuff that you'll have to commit time and effort to understanding and using and becoming a more experienced and educated vaper, like you veterans here at ECF. I suppose it's a labor of love, and a requirement to stay off the stinky's. I got close to getting ahead once, then I decided DIYing my juice would save me even more money. I now have about 150 flavors and I suck at making flavors that I'll actually vape. But I can make anything, at any time at the drop of a hat. We each have a favorite though. How many backup mods do I need? I don't know, but I'm not there yet, I don't think. One can never be too careful...smoking was a sheer hell to quit. Taking no chances. I may be able to quit vaping now and just buy the gear. Buying the gear seems to not only help me from smoking, but might get me off vaping eventually. That way I can be addiction free. I can only thank all of you for helping me to see the light! I couldn't have made it without you. You're the best!
