I was so excited....

[Tinkiegrrl]

My tax refund is coming tomorrow, and I had my heart set on a Provari and a beautiful Phiniac tank. Everything color coordinated and planned out in my mind, complete with a Molehill Mountain or a Trustone drip tip (this hasn't been decided on. I apparently must have them all). Ends up, hubby had an emergency (non medical, just financial) and that refund is literally gone before it came in. So many hours looking up everything and planning out my purchases just down the drain. I'll be lucky if I can buy juice, cartos, and even lunch for the next month. You may see me on the news tonight. Things will get ugly when I get home.... I'm happy with my current MVP's, don't get me wrong. I have plenty of cartotanks and enough juice to get through months I imagine. It's just that, as of 20 minutes ago that Provari was mine in my mind, and now it's gone.

I had the same problem...I have a standard but want to get a Mini...had it all saved up and my hubby goes and breaks his tooth on a sucker! Needless to say my mini will have to wait.

But keep saving..they are worth waiting for!

I got lucky and got my Zmax and a couple tanks with ours. But I've learned not to count on that tax return. The joys of raising 4 kids! (I do count on it, but something way cheaper than the thing I REALLY want!)

Put the money you would have used on cigarettes aside on a daily basis. Use this as your "vaping bank". If you are like me...juice and basic stuff is way cheaper. In no time you will be able to get your dream set up.

I'm sorry Hang in there! Maybe they'll come out with something you like even better, when you're able.

I do do this. Thing is, the money that would have gone to cigarettes is instead going to the vaping supplies of 4 people including myself. My husband I obviously must keep supplied as it's his money as well. My mother in law who is on a fixed income and would otherwise buy smokes dirt cheap from some shady guy selling them out of his car as she smokes herself blind (macular degneration that is being aggravated by smoke in the eyes). She chips in when she can, but otherwise I'm buy most of it. We moved in to her two family home when my father in law started exhibiting signs of dementia. My husband must now stay home for our kids, and both his parents as his mother can no longer read the labels on medicine bottles, his father can't be trusted to, and neither can drive to their medical appointments. Last is my sister. I really don't know how I became her vape supplier. I got her on to it, bought her her first kit which happened to be the same as my first kit. Then she'd forget to order some part and I'd send her it and it snowballed from there. She's a poor college kid, and I feel if I stop supplying her, she'll just bum smokes on campus. That shouldn't mean that I should continue to supply her I know. I just... do... I remember being a poor college kid.

Tinkiegirl--you are doing good deeds and they will come back your way. I really commend you and your husband for taking care of his parents. I moved here to take care of my mother--Altheimers--and I know how difficult it is. She died a couple of years ago and I was so thankful that she could finally leave that body behind.

I wish the very best for you Tink. I wish I could help you in some way but I'm pretty strapped myself as I supply 2 other vapers other than myself on my fixed income. Keep your head up and good things will come you way, you deserve it!

Well, duh... a down payment on a new bass boat has precedence over a Provari any day.

I wish it was this. I grew up on the beach. Love the water. Sounds like fun for the family. Alas, it's nothing so fun. =\

To be clear - I'm not in financial trouble, and this isn't an emergency situation. It's strictly a "What do you mean I can't enjoy that refund money!!!" situation. The vaping community is so generous here, I don't want anyone thinking I'm in an emergency situation. We may be paycheck to paycheck, and I'll be bringing in lunch rather then ordering in at work for a few weeks, but we've got plenty of supplies, liquid, etc... I've amassed quite a lot over the last few months! I just gotta slow down for a month or so,p. Thankfully, I purchased things like cartos and coils in bulk previous to this.

There's always a credit card, my parents told me when I got mine just to use it in "emergencies" Seriously though, you'll have it soon enough
