It's sort of a sickness, isn't it?

[garen]

This vape acquisition thing.

I started researching e-cigs when my mother moved in with me a few months ago. She was a pack a day smoker my whole life and had cut way back by using the blu brand e-cig, but because she lost hers in the move she started smoking analogs again. I decided to help her by getting doing some research and ended up picking her up an ego battery, charger and a couple clearomizers with some juice from the local vape lounge. While figuring it out for her, I started to really like the looks of some things.

So I bought a K100 kit off of ebay, and a protank 2. It took me a couple of months then but I finally decided to get some juice.
Then the local vape lounge got some X6 kits in, so I had to pick up one of those in black. I really liked the purple though.
Then I discovered you could buy the X6 battery for like 20 bucks or so online.
Then I decided I really had to have an MVP 2. Oh, and and a protank 2 with black glass. And a protank 2 with purple glass to go with the purple X6. Friday should be a fun day when santa's big brown sleigh gets here.

I still only have 1 bottle of juice.

I have never smoked cigarettes. I smoke an occasional pipe, and have a small collection of briars, but haven't more than once or twice in the last few months.

What have I gotten myself into?

It's is definitely addicting lol. I am also a new vaper and started with an ego-c from totally wicked. I am very pleased so far and have been analogue free for over 3 weeks now!

A HOBBY
By the way ... better get some more juice.

Hope it's working for your mom as well as it's working for you

I'm a guitar player as well as a vaper...

I used to have a horrible disease called GAS, gear acquisition syndrome, when I was trying to find "my sound"

tons of different amplifiers, guitars, string types, pick types, effects boxes, effects processors, tuners, cables, wireless units, etc... Cost me thousands of dollars finding out what I liked... Here 20 some years later I am pretty happy with my guitar rig so I don't touch it anymore.

I find vaping to be similar... While you are learning what fits you the best, you'll go through tons of vape gear. Mods, clearos, cartos, RBA's, tanks, a plethora of juices... Thank goodness vape gear is much cheaper than musical instruments!

Good thing is, like musical instruments, good vape gear tends to hold a good portion of its value, so what you find you don't need you can sell in the classifieds. I have bought and sold loads of used musical equipment over the years... Same holds true for vape gear. Check out our classifieds here on ECF once you get verified, and you'll find a ton of great used gear.

One mans trash is another mans treasure!

Welcome to ECF BTW!

I went through my spate of GAS also a few years ago but soon discovered that no amount of shiny new guitars will make up for lack of talent. Unfortunately.

 

[dam718]

Hah! I know what you mean there...

I've been playing since I was around 12... I'll be 38 in a couple weeks, so it's been a while...

I still don't think I have talent... I can play a lot of other peoples stuff... But if you asked me to compose something on my own, pffft... Not happening. Try as I might to play what I hear in my head, I've never been much to get my ideas to record the way I want...

Maybe I confuse talent with creativity... Who knows... I think they go hand in hand. I'm not very creative at all, musically. I just play what I hear on the radio...

 

[garen]

I took lessons, practiced every day and took a classical guitar class at the local community college. All I can say is that when I play, the fingers on my fret hand turn into big toes. Lately I've thought about taking up the bass but I don't know if that will be any different. Maybe play left handed. I don't know.

 

[Katalyst81]

Started vaping to kick the analogs, it has worked great, and now I'm constantly wanting more juice, and tanks and batteries... this was supposed to be the cheaper alternative...

 

[norcalmike]

It would seem natural to go crazy.
Staying off analogs is important to me. Multiple attempts to quit colt turkey, wean off using pills patches and gums all failed miserably.
I found something that works and I want to keep it interesting. I want to make sure my vaping experience is the best I can make it to ensure I dont fall off the wagon.
I figure i spent well over 32 grand on cigs in 22 years. i think i can drop a 1000 on a nice variety of PVs and tanks to keep me happy for a while.
If i roll through a couple MLs a day or more, thats still only about 1-3 bucks a day depending on juice maker.
Im going to start DIYing and get that cost down even more.
Happy Vaping

At first I thought of this becoming a hobby but once I was satisfied with my main, backup APV, liquid & delivery system, the bug went away. Thank God, cause I don't need another hobby! The saltwater hobby already takes most of my disposable cash

actually with my MVP2 and Sigelei ZMAX, a variety of 8 pretty good tanks ( pro2, Kanger T3s, EVOD, iClear30)and an RBA im only into it $200 not including juices
right now im into juices about $70 at about 100 mLs

thats a great value for my health IMO

The crazy thing is, I don't smoke cigarettes, just an occasional pipe. Don't even inhale the pipe smoke. But I really like vaping. I love the cool vapor, its nice and soothing.

Someone stop me, I just discovered the iTaste VTR. The only thing thats keeping me from pulling the trigger is that its not a matte finish device, I'm not in love with the shiny chrome. Although I think I could get used to it. Aaaahhhh!!

yeah they tons of wraps for diff mods including the itaste

I know what the op means......I myself have been analog free for only 3 days!!!! My ego rocks, but i cant wait to get more LOL

I already have a ego pass through in my cart for next order to go with my single batt kit i just got, I am looking at diff carto tanks & glassomizers for future orders & will be getting some standalone cartos & couple attys as well on payday

That coupled with a few juices.....but there are so many i want to try Moon mountain vapor, Namber Juice, Monkey juice & many many more ......its a hobbie but dang it man i need to hit to lotto to catch up & have more then one or two juices .....ina few weeks

I am also looking at the k100 empire clone to have on hand for more or less a "designated" dripper lol but i know i will end up with a glass tank on it eventually.

i have a fever doc, i got the sickness!

Psst, hey, the VTR comes in camo green now.

 

[norcalmike]

I Love that tank. ive been eyeballing them pretty hard lately

 

[voltaire64]

I use an ego/evod and got a provari but it was defective and had to be sent back. In the meantime i noticed a thread on how cheap the MVP2 was at 101vapes(30 bucks off) and out came my poor credit card.

 

[wallacecarey]

Exactly, not only have I stopped smoking cigs I also have a new hobby.
