My wife and I went binge spending for the weekend and when it was over I had a choice, buy smokes for the week or try yet another worthless Ecig product that never failed to disappoint me in the past. I pondered the idea for many hours. I knew we could not afford both so I had to make a clear choice.
I researched the ecigs that I had previously purchased in the mall and found that they were in fact the cheap piece of crap that ripped most of us off. I came across volcano Ecigs and grabbed up a lava tube and tanktube and sprung for the ECig, found madvapes and ordered a smoktech and some cartos and thought I would never reflect poorly on this decision ( I had some ejuice left over from the POS I bought at the mall) I got my kit in and after the first day realized that this one battery would not be enough to get me through a day of vaping. I ordered 2 more batts and continued. Day 3 hit and my batttery would no longer hold a charge. Checking the status of my batteries they were set to arrive that day and then BOOM. My order misdirrected AWAY from my home out toward the eastern shore.
I was flipping out knowing how bad the craving were trying to charge in between vapes while my batteries were in transit. Day 4 still no batts. They are not moving on USPS tracking. I am going crazy all day trying to suck vape from a lifeless unit who keeps flashing its low volt indicator at me. After several unfulfilling calls to the USPS I started rumaging locally for a supplier. Nada. Nothing. I called an ecig shop that i had been buying my juice from and they had just started carrying the Lavatube themselves. They had no batteries only complete kits. I begged with the owner explaining my situation and he agreed to let me purchase an inferno that he had purchased as a demo unit for 50% off volcanos retail. He noted that I could use my accessories on it such as my tankcartos and I had been using on my lavatube. That is just awesome. I dindt purchase the unit from him he could have told me to pound sand but he didnt.
Got my extra batts 2 days later and when I placed them in the trustfire tr001 .... blinking lights. No charge. MOTHER******
You have got to be kidding me. Atleast I have the inferno until my pila comes in.
Njoy smokes (the first attempt) $100
Elipse Ovale and some eliquids $130.00
Lavatube and tube tanks $130
Extra batteries $26
Inferno kit $50
Eliquids $160 (granted i have a ton left and 120ml in the mail on the way)
an additional smoktech $20
Pila battery charger $60
Total expenses so far: $676
All in one months time. I am only over a week in and I can't help but feel like Damn. I hope these upgrades last me. I cant afford to keep doing this. However i am proud to say never once did I cave since purcchasing the lavatube. I have not had an analog in over a week. This is practically a miracle for me, smoked for 19 years, marlboro reds.
Bad part is, I didn't mind spending the money for new toys, I pound my fist when the wife comes around and shake my head but the reality is it is a valid excuse to buy new toys. Dont know how i am gonna explain the next mod I want to get.
