I spent more money..

[annah]

geez. Now I'm over $500 spent. I just can't help myself. I was ordering some more juice for husband (he's doing great btw, has just passed 24 hours without an analog! hurray!) and I saw some neat colored anodized drip tips on sale, and then I thought I needed a spare battery charger, and grabbed one of those. And then a car adapter, just in case I am on a week long trip without electricity (duh, not gonna happen). Then I decided I like my cartos, and saw they were on sale... Before I knew it, I racked up another 50 someodd dollars. *snort*

I need to sell some of my extra ego attys to recoup some, but I think I read I have to join the forums first. My husband will need spares I'm sure, but I don't see him walking around sporting my pink ego. LOL. If I'm lucky, I can sell my original ego kit to a guy at husbands work who wants to start vaping. I think I'm becoming a supply junkie. I like having lots and lots of spares and supplies to chose from. It's a good thing I didn't look for unflavored juice, or I would have had more of that. Now that I think about it, maybe I should see if they can combine orders....




I'm going to need a bigger tacklebox.

Wow! in a month.

I thought I was bad.

I know it is difficult but you must resist the temptation to keep buying more and more equipment. Set yourself a monthly limit and try to keep within it.

 

[annah]

Nah, not all of it was within a month (just most). The first $200 I spent last year when I actually bought my ego kit (took me a while to quit the analogs again). And I bought myself an ipro as a 1 month anniversary present. So really, only about $180 was in the last month on excess supplies. I do have enough juice to last a bit over 6 months, and enough hardware for years, now that I have my ipro.

I feel your pain (don't ask).
But: With the experience I've gained spending all that money I now know how to do it on the cheap. And I have enough DIY supplies to last a year or two.

 

[Della Cirque]

Always wise to have back ups for the back ups!

 

[steliosak]

Well then it ain't so bad.

Look on the bright side.
Subtract the analogues you didn't buy and as you say you are set (as far as consumables go) for the next few months.

The Ody is a problem . It works on anything but it looks fabulous on a GG , and that's the start of a whole collection (they like company)

But seriously , don't feel bad .
Try to keep within limits and it all much better as far as health is concerned.

That was my theory. Backups for the backups of the backups. now that my ipro is here it just dawned on me that I no longer need so many backups for the ego that isn't going to be my primary. And once I can get my little fingers on an Odysseus, I'll have one of those. But I also need to buy some more bottles for DIY, and some more of my primary flavoring. More money already planning it's way out of my pocket.

I guess I'll be selling off some ego stuff once I can figure out what a reasonable price would be.

 

[bigtiime]

How much did we freely spend on cigarettes (even though we knew we were killing ourselves) and not blink an eye?

 

[MustangSallie]

Hi annah. Join the crowd, I won't even tell you what I'm into vaping for at this point. It might scare the no0bs away!

BTW: you're a super member now (300 posts) and a vet to boot, because of either you can post in the classies without becoming a member. Good luck!

 

[annah]

Oh, really? I didn't know that. *doh* Guess I should have finished reading the announcement. Then I guess I'm off to figure out how much this stuff is worth.

You're totally right. I never would have thought too much about the cost of analogs. I certainly would not have had 6 months worth for how much I have spent! I've no idea what the lifespan on harware is, but Ive probably got well over a years worth of hardware. Or, I would if I wasn't going to sell some of it. I have no idea what the lifespan is on the batteries in my ipro, but I assume they will last longer than ego batteries.

Welcome to the club, it's easy to go overboard with sales going on all over the place. Spent quit a bit of money myself for a little bit. Only recently did I just started to slow down but, I have a feeling that's not going to last much longer.

 

[AcePilot]

I slow down, then start back up. I was pretty calm til I came home with my purple Ipro. Then I needed this tank, that tank, this tip, that tip... All because it would look good with my new Ipro. Haha. Three weeks, and $540 later I've finally calmed down again. Yes. I've spent that much in three weeks. But I have a year supply of punched cartos, a new ipro, batteries, multiple tanks, charger, tips and a plethora of liquids... So I guess I can go back to just using what I have and not buying everything I want.

 

[bmwjen]

I'm a year in.........and still haven't set myself a "monthly limit" or "vape budget"..........I buy what I want, when I want it. Afterall..............I ALWAYS had cigarettes on hand, why shouldn't I have vape stuff on hand?

 

[Strigoi]

I buy what I want, when I want it.

That's my attitude with damn near everything (within reason). Back when I smoked I was spending $150-$200 a month on cigarettes, so as long as I come in under that each month I'm quite happy. Most months aren't bad since I only need to buy liquid and cartos/attys.

 

[sportyfortyeight]

I spent a lot to get my set up and then a back up. I think its a must to have atleast one back up. Now its just the juice and cartos

[bmwjen]

are 52 back ups enough?

 

[annah]

LOL!

It's a good thing I didn't start looking at tanks! They all use dual coil don't they? I'm determined I'm going to use some of these eGo attys that I have. The problem is that I thought about the aesthetics. How funny is my pink atty going to look with my purple ipro? Or my red atty? See. It's a color thing. I was thinking about how nice a tank would look, but I'm trying really hard to hold out for that Ody...

Hold out for the Ody Annah . Its the best !

 

[annah]

I want one, bad! One of my major objections to cartos is the waste. I hate the idea of throwing metal into the trash every week. Attys aren't much better than cartos in that regard. I really like the idea of a rebuildable atty, and one with a tank on it? WOW. It was an incrediable idea.

I love my Jtank on my Ipro. I don't really like dual coil tanks on it though. I've found that standard resistance single coil punched cartos and a tank are the best combo for me on the Ipro. But that's just my opinion. Oh, and I have tried four different tanks, dual coil, single coil, Xl etc... And the this combo gives me the best flavor and vapor.
