Well its been 5 or 6 days now analog free. Started the first day with the Ego w/ a JoyE LR306 2.0ohm and loved it. Started looking into mods and stuff and found out about JonboyUSMC's Lava tanks and had to have one(luckily I was able to get one). Then I realized something. . . It probably wouldn't look so great on an Ego, so what did I do? Mad an hour and a half drive up to E Cig City in Laguna Beach, CA and picked up this bad boy:

Every thing I thought it would be and more. Was gonna wait for the Precise plus 18650 but I might have gotten my tank by then hehe

You know...not to make things worse, but...there are some very good sales on niquid, out there, too. So many flavors, and so little time.

Yeah, I already went on a really really big shopping spree at AVEjuice.com had to try that boba's bounty that everyone was talking about. Have to buy the wife a watch now to make up for all the spending before the rest of my stuff comes in lol

6 days, congrats..you don't fool around. Like the blue motif and set up. You are probably saving money by being a smart shopper and getting what you truly want upfront. All the steps moving on up in PVs and buying Armageddon supplies is even more expensive.

Keep on vaping and thanks for sharing your setup.

Yeah just had a discussion with a good friend(who convinced me not to grab the ggts right next to the provari) who pointed out that every time time I get into something I over do it lol.

I think I'm good with the Armaggedon supplies too. Full Mil. grade battle rattle, Caspian 1911(45acp), Springfield Armory XDm9, Sig Sauer P229 DAK, Colt Ar15 (5.56), Tactical Mossburg 900, and a pair of night vision mono goggles(PVS14). No need to worry prior law enforcement here, so I'm no crazy.

Just because you were in law enfocement doesn't necessarily mean you're not crazy :laugh: There was a guy on the force lived a couple houses down from me and I'm pretty sure he was certifiable :blink:

Anyway, yeah the e-cigarettes are cheaper thing should have an asterisk next to it. It doesn't apply to people who are gadget hounds. If you find a PV and then just have to pay for e-liquid and replacement cartos etc then yes it's cheaper, otherwise... not so much. But at least it IS safer no matter what you end up buying.

5 or 6 days and you have a shiny shiny Provari? Wow. You just hit the jackpot! Congrats and enjoy. It just doesn't get any better than Provari and you probably saved a bunch of money by getting it straight away instead of wasting cash on other things first. And you will save money, it just takes a little time until you find what suits you and then you stop buying hardware. Took me just under six months to break even but now I am saving and plenty too, as I have all the PV's I want and enough DIY liquid stock for the next year or so.

I've been using a pv exclusively for 2 weeks and two days. I've saved $30 already. On pace to save at least $800 in a year. Really, more, considering I wont be spending the normal amount on cartos...more like an extra G this year.

At 40+ years old, I doubt I'll get caught up in the culture and hobby of vaping..lol..I'm just trying to quit. I'm done with being cool...lol Knowing that, it's quite obvious that money is there to be saved...

Haha very true about the crazy L.E.'s out there.

Too bad I'm one of those gadget hounds. At least I'll know I'll have a nice collection at the end, and no one can say I didn't try to make e cigs work if I fall off lol.

See. . . Now that's what I'm looking forward to. Everything I want in the PV's and stock pile of juice. I guess the saving money part will have to wait.

Congratulations on the provari. Have you found a favorite juice yet?

No, not yet. So far I like Vapure's cappachino for most of my days but I'm sure there's better. So I'm still on the hunt.

Ordered some Bobba's bounty and gorilla juice the other day. Hopefully it finds its way to my house soon.

I get the impression hardware heads do well with vapeing.

I started out with the analog look alikes from the mall and it was about a week before I ordered a RiVa kit, then I got a RiVa UNC about a week after that and finally (yeah, right) I got a ProVari and put a stainless Liquinator tank on it. Seriously though, the Provari/Tank set up is so easy and powerful, I've been using it almost exclusivly since I got it last Tuesday.

I have a Ruger Mini-14, 10/22, 22 Charger, and pair of .357 SP101s (one hammerless), a mk2 and a mk3; A Kel-Tec P-32, PF-9, and a PLR-16, a Vektor SP1, a Bond Arms Texas Defender .410 derrenger, a Mossberg 500 12 Ga.... and my favorite shoot, a Colt "Navy Six" replica. For Christmas, I'm asking Santa for a Kel-Tek KSG!
