Lunch Hour Buyer's Guilt

[Kimmothy]

I did it again today.
While there was no actual need for me to go to a vape shop - I'm fine for juice, I have a new toy (sigelei 150!) coming in the mail and am still really loving my Atlantis - off I go, telling myself I'll only go "window shopping," which quickly changes to "see if they're running any specials" which ends up being "I just spent too much money on a bottle of juice and almost spent even more on a pretty but entirely unnecessary drip tip."
I wish I could say this is the first time this has happened.
I wish there weren't four vape shops within a five-mile radius of my office (except that's not true because I'm really happy there are).
I'm writing this one off as it's my birthday Friday, but seriously - I need to stop the madness already.

I know the feeling. I jumped in 2 coops to spend around $100 on mods/tanks I don't need, will be beta testing a new squonker before long, just picked up a 30w iStick a week ago to carry at work so I can keep my sigelei at home, and bought over 500ml of juice in the last 3 weeks... and I'm still on here checking the marketplace everyday.

 

[calliber08]

I feel you both. Just went out and bought a new subtank, Then got a new istick 30w and a nautilus for the girly. Then decided i need more juice and battries. Ended up getting 10 more bottles. Oh and i just ordered new drip tips and a ipv mini 30 ha. All in the course of 2 days lol. Almost forgot my new mod and plume veil just came in the mail.

Don't let anyone fool you....these things are mandatory. Its not a lack of will power....its not "shinyitis".... Its a necessity. There is no other option. Now, go enjoy the rest of your day.

 

[Paramaniac413]

Well...at least I know I'm not the only one! I have plenty of EVOD type tanks...3 EMOW Mega's...a GeniTank...2 eGo VV...an iStick 20W...had good juice...
...
...
Then I bought an iStick 30W...
...
...
Then I bought a Subtank Mini...
...
...
Then I bought more juice...and a Magma RDA clone...and a Kuro Coiler...and made a jig to try making tensioned coils...The last 3 lines all happened within a week...this line happened within 24 hours. Thankfully, I stopped myself from going back into the shop today for another bottle of juice...
...
...
...although I could always use more coils for my tanks since I don't rebuild those...

I'm seriously dying for the subtank. How do you like it??

I know I am not calliber but I wanted to chime in. The subtank *mini* is simply heavenly to vape. The flavor is there, the clouds aren't as plentiful as the Atlantis but are just fine for me and it looks darn nice to IMO. Kanger is also dropping different color O-rings so you can swap out the red ones for black, grey, blue, purple and a few others. The best part though is that Kanger has .15 ohm heads built with Ni to accommodate temp-control in the works to come out soon enough, they will only work with DNA40 devices but I can not wait till they come out. It should extend coil life drastically which is always a good thing with pre-made heads. I cant wait to get my hands on some of them and vape the subtank minis I own on my Flask or rDNA, it should be great!

I know all about buying to much stuff as well lol. I am going to drive three hours from Toronto to Buffalo so I am leavening the country JUST to get an SX Mini lol! I will of course be picking up tons of juice that isn't as readily available in Canada as well. Last time I went to Buffalo I spent almost $700 on juice. Mind you it was all premium and ml by ml still about the same price as I pay for just regular juice from a BandM here so that's the justification. Once you amass a large quantity of stuff you will probably slow down. I own essentially everything I ever wanted related to vapeing and simply buy juice and batteries every 4 months now just so I have a large supply of un-used Sony VTC4s on hand. I am getting an SX Mini though this weekend yuppie! But in December I purchased a Flask and an rDNA40 on the same day to end my purchases of devices. That was a fun day.

 

[Vicshalls]

I just got a new mod and even with boxes of liquid I am wanting to get more. This really is a disease.

No, cancer is a disease. One I don't intend to die from either.

 

[eGoinMD]

Makes me feel like a piker.

I haven't bought anything at all since the New Year, and suddenly have found myself wanting to peruse for a Kayfun Mini, a couple of Smok FBC's or ARO's(for backups), maybe some 18500's, and then try out 2 new-to-me juice vendors(ITCvapes and Vape Wild), even though I have at least 150ml of perfectly vapable DIY juice ready to go.

Thank all that anybody holds holy that I don't have shinyitis....

I punched a baby on my lunch break, your guilt is absolved.

Happy Birthday!!

As long as your bills are paid and your not starving then I do not see the problem

I spent 80$ on liquid this past Sunday. Then 25$ more on Monday for two batteries for my new mod.
Thankfully my son bought me the mod and the atty for my Bday (which is not even until next month!) LOLOL (His idea)

And even now I am thinking.... "hmmmm should I buy another atty to have as a back up?"

Not to mention I just last week spent 200$ on a new curling iron. (no, that is not a typo two hundred)

Apparenty shopping guilt is not something I suffer from?

Just enjoy your new gear and happy vaping!

I know the feeling, Friday i stopped by the vape shop to pick up one bottle of juice. I'm proud of myself, I only bought one bottle.... and a VS rDNA40.

 

[Jovey]

Boy do i ever understand where you're coming from. My local vape shop is within walking distance...which can be dangerous to my bank account lol But i drove by yesterday on way home and thought i would just stop in and pick up my ADV juice. Wellllll.....i ended up buying a cheap eGo battery that cannot even be charged, just because it was discounted and it's got LOTS of bling on it *lol* Another kind of juice that i had never tasted (which when i got home and vaped it, i about puked) and i also bought a new coil for my nautilus mini. Walked out spending almost $50 and i just went for a $15 bottle of juice! Ugh!!

So now, i'm going to have to stretch my budget to last me til payday.....ALL because i had no self control!! lol

You're still on the side of the angels, Paramaniac - unless you call this spree an investment.

You bought a battery that cannot even be charged?

 

[AngelicTomPetty]

It hasnt even been a year yet since I started with an ego twist. It truly becomes an enjoyable hobby and just like any other hobby : a money pit. The two setups I have right now can easily get me to 2016 with no problems but when I head to the shop to pick up juice, something new will catch my eye.

 

[Jovey]

yeah, like i needed to feel more stupid! LOL it was on clearance ...but now i know why!! Pfffft...live and learn...i'm a newbie and that's my story...stickin' to it!!

 

[dhood]

Just last week I was thinking I had everything I needed for a while. I have 3 Kayfuns and a Kanger Subtank mini. Got an IPV mini to power them. Had just bought enough juice to last me almost a month. The only thing I've been wishing for was a power source that lasted more than a day. The 25Rs in my IPV last most of a day, but not quite a whole day each. Had my eye on either the MVP 3 or the iStick 50... just for the extended battery life. Then I walked into my favorite B&M and they had just received their shipment of iStick 50s and were selling them for $55. Just had to get it. Just when I thought it was safe to put my credit card away for a while.

That spree was actually a lot for me. lol. I don't usually buy things like that...unless you're talking about yarn...but yarn for my knitting shouldn't count... :ushing-my-yarn-stash-behind-the-sofa:: lol
