I need to vent

[TaylorPlayer]

Great post.... My wife and your Hubby would get along great! She is a Vape-thief too! We both started with Cig-a-likes. I wanted to upgrade quickly while she kept saying that the V2's were all she needed. When I got my Itaste VV/VW she said it was ugly. Then she started hitting mine when I would leave the room. Turned out she loved it and wanted one. I quickly got another for her. I have since bought two more for backups so she won't run out on her battery and start using mine!

On to juice..... I am the one who goes out shopping. She was very happy with her RY4 tobacco flavor. I liked experimenting with flavors and ended up finding a great cherry tasting one and a great mint flavor. When I later found that mixing the two provided a third flavor that I REALLY loved, she decided to try some of my mint mixed with her RY4 and loved it. So now my mint juice is depleting faster than ever! lol...... I really don't mind as I am having a blast learning about this stuff and I know that there is no way she would put this time and effort in. She would go back to analogs in a second if I didn't keep us on the vaping stuff so I am fine with learning everything, showing her and having her jump into it even if it means that she is taking my stuff. Just a good reason for me to go find something else. My only concern now is that I REALLY want a Provari and while I can afford one, I know she will glom onto my new toy and want one for herself! lol.....

Be glad he is also a vaper and doesn't nag you for every purchase as my never smoker non vaping wife does but the more I spend on vape gear, her side of the closet seems to have a multiplier effect on her shoe collection. Lol.

If he takes your stuff, buy enough for him anyway. If he really doesn't like, you'll have back-ups.

In the meantime, buy him this: SMOKTech Pyrex DCTank Glass DCTank. It's a slim carto-tank. It's pyrex, but covered in metal. Much less likely to break. Buy him a few. They also make a 6 ml version.

BTW, how does he know exactly what you buy? Does he check the cc receipts? Do you just keep everything out where he can find it? You have a perfect right to keep enough back-ups to cover your .... Just keep a little stash in reserve for back-up.

It's not all one way traffic. I got vape mail last week and when it was all divided out according to HRHs preferences i ended up with one drip tip!

Happy wife - happy life they tell me.

1. Pink, girly type stuff
2. Don't show him how the mod operates
3. Buy him the cloned PT minis from Fastech in BULK, may take a while to get to you, but will he know the genuine article from the clone?
4. Do "stealth" purchases. Have them sent to a partner in crime!
5. If he's snagging your favorite juices, clean out a bottle of something he abhors, and put your 'golden vape juice" in it.
6. If you're going to spend more than $100 on a mod, MAKE IT PINK!
7. Get "tanklets" of butterflies, flowers, kittens, hearts, and the same goes for charms.
8. J-wraps.....anything with girlie anime stuff, LOL!
Anybody mention Care Bears? Unicorns <----major he-man deterrent.

I feel your pain. My BF has lost 2 eVics and busted numerous PT2's glass inserts. Not to mention all the twists and clearos that have disappeared.

I have a iTaste 134 which he won't touch, too heavy, which is surprising because he loves his guns and it kinda looks like a gatling gun.

He has no idea how much my ProVari cost, or when I got it, but it does NOT leave my sight, and I've never let him use it. With all the other mods sitting on the computer desk, he's not THAT observant and he wouldn't "see" the difference.

I've got a ton of samples I got back in August, and when he's out of juice, he's got gallon size ziplock bags with bottles of "meh" juice he can choose from.

He's not seriously invested in vaping, he smokes his nasty cigars (*note, some cigars smell wonderful, but his are icky, smelly, stuff on the bottom of your shoe cigars*) still (though he did quit smoking), and doesn't have a clue about heads, tanks, clearos, vv, vw..... I've got to the point where "Google it" is becoming common in my vocabulary.

If you need a partner in crime, drop me a PM, LOL! Been there, done that!

 

[mare ze dotes]

What NiNi said. get a pack of Hello Kitty stickers and leave your mark!

 

[alisa1970]

Wow, after reading your OP, I'm sorta glad mine doesn't like vaping at all...I know I would be in the same position you're in now if he did.

 

[Iffy]

Just sneak out 'his' tanks and refill 'em with crab joose...

[WillyZee]

if the poor guy only knew what was brewing for his vape future

 

[Mrs C]

Order enough for both of you for now. If he complains, run down the list of the appropriated gear. Remind him you seem to have a knack for knowing what he will like in addition to you. He's lucky to have his own personal vape shopper, saves money on the error part of trial and error

 

[MissKitty47]

Personal Vape Shopper! I'm going to use that one, thank you, Mrs. C!

[Huckleberried]

Order your own personal stealth set up. Never take it out of your purse in front of him since you don't have to stealth in front of him. Or leave it at work. Ask him to sit with you when you order and pick out his own gear, your treat, since you're paying for his stuff anyway. If he says no, he's not interested, call bullchit.

 

[Southern Tina]

I'd hide mine or buy everything in pink

[Southern Tina]

Oh and I had mine first and he was the nay sayer. Then he tried it and wanted to "borrow" it all the time. Needless to say, he quickly got his own to avoid an all out war at home.

I'm sorry, really I am! But, OMG The responses on this thread
I thank god my never smoker, non vaping husband is supportive and I don't have to worry about thievery.
Good luck!

PS: I would go ahead and buy two of everything. If he says no, remind him of all the things he has stolen from you

 

[RobinBanks]

Gurl,

You need to learn the word "no" and how to put fear into him. It suspect it will only improve your life in many ways.

If only he didn't cook so well, it would be far easier to say know no. You know the saying "The fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach"? It truly is the fasted way to mine apparently. He invited me to a barbeque under the guise of having everyone from the catering hall we worked for over for an end of the season bash. I was the new office manager/sales support of the hall at the time. We did a lot of high end weddings on the beach, and had a high end restaurant half as well. He was the executive chef of the restaurant half. As a result, this was no typical BBQ. Fillet mignon, lobster, gourmet dishes.... He threw the whole thing, just to get to know me and invite me for dinner in future. He's been cooking for me ever since and I'm totally and completely addicted and spoiled. And it isn't a situation where I really get an opportunity to say no. He just starts using it, and he has a habit of falling asleep with whatever he's using. He's still sleeping when I leave for work. I work an office job during the day and as a chef, he works later in the night. It just winds up where he just has what he borrows for a week or so before we are both awake and in the same room, and during that week, if he's had no issues with it, he grows attached to it. Small works for his pockets better in a kitchen, plus he likes keeping back ups in his car rather then his locker at work out of fear of someone in the restaurant getting into his locker.

He essentially steals what he really does need. The issue is, when I'm ordering and I'm showing him what I'm ordering he doesn't believe me when I tell him he'll wind up needing it. The last restaurant he worked in was washed away during hurricane Sandy, and has not been rebuilt. He found another job, but it's a much smaller establishment and a much smaller salary unfortunately. For the first time during our marriage, I have become the main bread winner. This has been very unsettling to him. Not because he's the man or anything like that. It's because I'm not making that much either and we're bringing in so much less in total then we were used to. The thought of buying two of these things and that final total at the bottom of the cart scares him, especially when he thinks he doesn't need it, or it'll be a piece of junk collecting dust in the vape cabinet. Due to the nature of these things, of course they can't be returned so that just makes it worse. He knows I'm still spending far less then our monthly cigarette budget (easy to do in NYC with $14 a pack). He knows he'll go back to smoking with things that aren't working for him (the Mini Protanks are hassle free for him, but he didn't drop cigs entirely and cartos seem to give him the hit he's seeking). Logically, he knows why I'm trying to get him to pull the trigger on trying these things. He can not get over that number in the cart with double of everything there, even knowing I'll wind up needing to buy another later. He's convinced there will come a product that I will buy that he won't like and then we'll have spent money we didn't need to spend. In his defense, there of course, has been some duds I've purchased, but mainly they were duds because I was being cheap in the beginning and buying cheap crap.

But doesn't he realize that the very reason you are having to buy 2 of everything is because of him? Have you brought this up and explained that if he stuck to, and took care of, the few PV's and tanks that he has that you wouldn't be spending needed money on duplicates "just in case"? I would be frustrated to no end with that.

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

You could try getting him interested in DIY ejuice. Since he is a cook he should not have any trouble at all knowing what flavors are good with each other. And mixing your own ejuice is much cheaper than buying from a vendor.

Just a thought.
