JAS : Juice Acquisition Syndrome

[ukeman]

for musicians or musician wannabe's (not unlike me) there's GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome; or "gear"...)
Definitely carries over to our vaping gear compulsions. Could be mods, pv's, juice, anything to do with our vape habit/hobby...

Well I just got to say there are way too too many juices out there... jk..
I played this wrong... because when i like something... and i see posts saying, "i just ordered a 30..."
If there is a juice i like, I would get at least a 30, and that's even before i ran out, and even on someone else's recommendation.
And i go through at least 5 mil a day lately, but i'll never get through all this i got now.

If anyone has a compulsive, like "shopping disorder" where you feel excitement ordering something, like you are filling void... well then your juice stash will look like mine... too much, and jonesing to get new ones.

It's taken me this long (about 5 months) to decide on this tactic...
New Rule:I'm gonna not order larger than a 10mil of anything and no matter the shipping fees... because that was one issue that fouled me up; "I'll order more stuff to justify the shipping fees..." - wrong.

If i'd had this rule, I'd be able to order some of the new juice i hear people rave about ...

my new motto : "go small or don't go at all" lol

If i have the time, I'm off to PIF...

Two of the more knowledgeable folks in the ecig/juice world are in Hawaii with you... konaneil and keith97M3 -

Oh, I agree. I've amassed an incredible collection of juice in a short time. I order too much of each of them too. I have so much juice on hand that I'd never be able to vape it all before it goes bad. I've been desperate to nail it down to 3 or 4 favorites so I can make my life easier and more simplified. I'd love to get to the point where I could fill 3 cartos up each morning, each with a much loved juice. I could then take 3 empty 6ml bottles and fill them with the same juices, load them into my Ms. T's Bottle Buddy Gadget (with keychain, LOL), grab some batteries and just go. The other day at college I could barely keep my mind on the lecture because I kept thinking that I felt like I wanted some Vanilla Custard liquid and I didn't have any with me.

My problem is that I don't hate enough juices. I see people talking about how they hate certain juices. The only juices that I've really found disgusting are the China made juices (I know some people love them). I'm also not too crazy about peach, cinnamon or cola flavored juices, but everything else is really tasty! The other day, I had 6 different PVs going at the same time, all with different flavors. My kids think that I've gone insane. My youngest son told me, "Mom, that's all you think about is e-cigs!" Well, I think he's probably right so I've got to tone it down and nail down a routine that doesn't leave me obsessing about ecigs and juice all day long. I'm taking law classes and they're hard enough without worrying all class that I don't have my Casablanca or Vanilla Cupcake juice on hand for the mid-class break and ride home.

I've ordered from alot of the juice vendors with the best reputations on these boards and I just enjoy too many of them. I really love my BWB Malty Toffee, Casablanca and Caramel Cappucino (especially when mixed with some of the Malty Toffee- YUM - my eyes actually roll back in my head when I vape this combo! It's like a spiritual experience.). I'm really crazy about Kick Bass Vapor's Cantaloupe and Pineapple Shake. I love Ms. T's Snickerdoodle, Vanilla Custard and Apple Pie with ice Cream. And I just love Geoff's Tasty Vapor flavors -Ultimate Vanilla, Caramel Cupcake, Pralines and Cream, Cheesecake plus many more. I also really love Nhaler's lung juice, particularly the Pear and Sleepy Time Green Tea (which knocks me out at night!). I just placed orders for 5 more juices this weekend (from Southern Ambrosia, a new site that I've been hearing good things about) and I can't wait until Monday to see what the sale juices of the week will be at Tasty Vapor. Oh, and I just got an email from Don at BWB that one of my favorites is now back in stock!

I think I may need an intervention. I'm using way too many cartos each day, the house is getting overrun with juice bottles and batteries. The husband and kids are looking at me with increasing disgust every day! I think what I've got to do is just figure out some sort of weekly rotation so I can keep my sanity. I've also got to stop worrying about all of these juices that I haven't tried or bought yet.

I have at least 30 flavors I hate and four I like(two I love). I'm through looking. If I get a freebie, I'll try it, but I no longer look for one that I have to try.

I'm with you on that. Although I may try the Halo.

Yes, I have JAS too and to make matters worse I am researching DIY stuff! I just told myself 10 minutes ago I can't buy any DIY stuff until some of what I have is gone. I am allowed to buy my two favorites though as to not run out. I usually buy small bottles of juice unless I know I like it, so that's a plus. I do have my two main juices and a few others I like when I want something different (like candy or deserty). I don't have any I feel are unvapable though. What I find funny is I never did this with cigarettes. I was content smoking the same thing twenty times a day for twenty five years. What's up with that?

 

[RebelAir]

The trouble with DIY is that now you have an excuse to buy more juice - to get the bottles!

I had 6 different PVs going at the same time, all with different flavors.

I hate to admit it but right now on my desk I have a pencil holder with 19 different PVs with different flavors. When KBV opened a few weeks ago I ordered 9 15ml small bottles. I'm really impressed with most of them. I just got 6 15ml bottles yesterday from Southern Ambrosia but have only tried 2 so far, one of them I really like. Thank heavens I don't like tobacco or coffee flavors or I'd have twice as much!

I'm sure I also need an intervention but sure don't want one. This is a heck more fun than going to the store for a carton of analogs!

Bobbye! OMG, 19 PVs! That's awesome. I may get a few more going now! I think you are right; ecigs are way more fun than analogs! I can't wait to try the Southern Ambrosia flavors!

I just bought more juice as I was reading this thread, is that bad?

 

[my2heartboys]

Yeah, I got a ton of little bottles myself. Trying to find at least 6 juices I can run constantly (or near constantly) and minimizing the number of smaller bottles of newer juice flavors I buy.

I love VBs orange and hypnotic mist, FSUSAs florida citrus, JD's dingleberry (can't get enough of that one and when you pair it up, in the atty, with VBs bubble gum....oh my....another piece of vaping heaven). Right now, I am trying to do a fruit salad of sorts...a mixture of a bunch of fruit flavored vapes that I am not really crazy about (but if not used up soon, will go bad).

I like to mix the fruit flavors together also!! I am getting ready to throw my rejects away.

Dont toss them, I noticed you put some up in the pif treasure chest, some one will vape it. Ive got over 20 now and only 2 are regular vapes, 2 more are steeping, 2 more are on their way, and Im still looking because the rest are CRAP. Ive got ton a fruity samples Im waiting on a good PIF thread to trade them out.
