yeah i can tell, i actually got into this to SAVE money although so far i have failed miserably, but now that i have the kit, a few extra attys and a month or two of juice i can probably start saving..... maybe...

I think almost all of us failed miserably in the beginning (as far as saving $). As long as you don't start buying mods as a hobby (like MX!), you will save money. I do buy mods, but overall, I am spending less than I did compared to when I bought cigs. What I finally starting doing is putting the same amount that I used to spend on cigs in a separate bank acct on my paydays. That forces me to realize how much I'm spending. In the beginning it was challenging, especially since I just had to buy two Little Sisters and two Big Brothers within a short time of each other. I think I also bought two Hello's around that time. So... I solved the problem by using a credit card. :) But, in all honesty, I've been pretty good the past few weeks. Last week when I got paid, I still had about half of my 'ecig budget' left in my other account. So, after getting paid, I was able to buy two more mods (Buzzes)! Oh yeah, I also ordered some of the new 808 mega cartomizers from Ikenvapes, six new batteries for the Buzzes that we've not yet received, and an extra charger. I still have $ left!

I think this is a sure case of denial. :)

well looks like my order should arrive today(right at a week, which i can live with). Now to just have the patience to let everything steep for atleast a week.

Well you know that you have to at least try a little bit! I usually get the larger bottles and then shake the bottle very well, take a 6ml bottle for vaping now and put the rest away for a week. It is good right from the bottle it just becomes amazing with a little time.

wahoo, i got my last sale order today :) So I thought I would do an inventory.. not sure how long this will last me but i imagine a while anyway. I have 1 5ml, 14 10 ml bottles, 5 of them half full, 9 mostly full, not counting the one my brother stole, chocolate covered banana 10 ml, not sure i will see that one again. I have 4 30 ml bottles, all full except hopscotch with is still mostly full... again my brother borrowed my 30 ml vanilla since he had run out of juice and will be replacing that one (which will make it 5 30 ml's by next week). and I have 4 sample sizes mostly full except one.

If i can keep family members from pilfering my juice supply, im hoping this will comfortably last me 2 months? (just in time for a christmas sale?) :)

We're supposed to have an e-cig budget????? NOW might be a little late to find this out. LOL Great idea, though, vaporgal! My account would probably end up negative most of the time, though, and then I'd get to spend overdraft charges as well. *sigh*

The real reason I started this is because after my debit card was compromised, the bank suggested that I open a separate account just for online purchases. So, it's very easy now to keep track of how much I'm spending now. But, if I really want something and my budget is depleted, I'll just use a cc instead. :ohmy:

Yes I do there great for dripping new juice or high nic jump starts. They sit on the desk nice and don’t fall over.
And will last me a few days without charging.

Today on the desk is a REO full size Wood Mod /Hopscotch, GGST/AFSv2/Banana Cram Pie
H016 working on Hopscotch 24mg and H016 testing out the Florida Citrus 24mg sample that was in my last order.

:)


haha - you have 4 Hello16s? Unbelievable! Do you use them?

I'm not using the Hello at all, but I should try dripping when trying new flavors instead of filling cartomizers. Question - any suggestions on what type of atomizer I should buy? I'm clueless about atomizers and dripping.

You have a REO? I'm jealous!

Holy cow. That is a lot of ecig stuff mx!

I just started 2 weeks ago. Ordered 2 complete ego sets from cignot and have lost three atomizers for a reasons I can't comprehend so my last atomizer doesn't seem like I'm getting as much vapor as I was so now I'm considering giving this all up and taking analogs back up because no way can I buy an atomizer every few days (with shipping etc etc) and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong that they'd die so quickly.

You guys have been doing this a bit. Is this normal?

I like the LR attys. 510 and am playing with the 306 they burn a little hotter on an EGO or h016 and are nice.

FSUSA has the 510LR you should give it a try. I would also suggest picking up a drip tip as well.

And I have (2) REO Wood Mods and (3) Mini's and another Wood REO on its way. :)
And am on the list for the New 18650 REO coming out down the road.

You could have got a bad batch (Contact the supplier that you got them from and see if they have had any issues) with all attys you need to keep them wet a dry atty will pop fast.

Are you using 510, 901, 301 act.

Are you using carts or dripping. You may want to try Cartomizers they are easy to fill and less apt to POP being there incased in filler saturated with juice.

Don’t give up there is a learning curve with Ecigs Feel free to PM me any time if you have questions.

I can get my 510 LR to last over a month or better.

I started vapeing in Feb of this year and have only had (4) go on me. They sit under the PC monitor stand.

Key is when you taste any drop in flavor drip more juice even if you flood it a little its better then letting them dry out.

With carts I use to top off every 2-3 sittings. I always left the atty wet when not vapeing also.



I did order 2 lr attys from fsusa and I haven't received them yet. I just heard they're going to burn out on me even faster and 3 regular attys in 2 weeks seems already way too fast to me.
