So i started vaping when my buddy got his ego. I tried it and liked it so I got a K100 and a vivi tank as my starter kit. 2 months later and after reading numerous posts and videos about sub ohm builds I went ahead and got myself some Sony batteries and a Nimbus. Then I realized that my atty cost more than my mod and went on and got a new mod, the SS King mod. Not long after I decided that the air hole in my Nimbus was too big for single coil build, saw a nice crown atty on instagram and went and got it. And then when Black Friday came along, VapeRev had a sale and i snatched a Satin Brass King cause it looked pretty. Right there and then I told myself "this will be my last vape gear purchase" at least for another half a year or so.
I then found out that 4 vape shops opened near my area and went to check them out. And of course, I found something I wanted, the KFL+ which was sold out at almost all online stores. The price was right so I bought it and thought to myself again "this will be the last one ..... for now". Of course, in between, I spent a lot of money on juices that will last me for months and a lot of high end drip tips i barely use.
A few weeks ago, I thought to myself, The KFL+ would look really nice on the Hammer mod, but then i also thought that the Brass Kraken would look really nice on the Satin Brass King. So a week ago I ordered them both, along with little accessories that i don't really need. This time i was serious, at least i think i was, that i shouldn't spend anymore money on vaping other than the occasional juice.


And guess what happened today, just 2 days after i got my kraken and hammer. I found another mod that i felt like i must buy! At an outrageous price too. I kept convincing myself not to but i am failing. I really need help!

Don't buy it lol! You've got gear you like and use, so why spend more? Save it for a milestone. Or if you have goals to drop your nicotine or go 0 nicotine. Something good to look forward to :)

But the thing is, this one is limited and if i miss it, it will probably cost a fortune to get it later on, if anyone were to resell it. I'm a sucker for collectibles :/

You already have 2 great mods and 2 of the best attys on the market there is no reason to buy this "limited" piece. Is it going to vape better because it collectable? Hmm probably not. You should keep your eyes out for innovations not collectables. Otherwise you end up with a bunch of pretty knick knacks that sit on a shelf.

Uhh Oh it's another bad case of the gear bug... Don't worry it's not fatal but it may cause debt. The bad news is it never goes away but it does lessen and the symptoms of spastic purchasing and being broke decrease over time.

Lol, right now i'm convincing my buddy to buy one too so i won't feel so alone spending so much $.

Since you're in NJ, I imagine cigs were pretty expensive. My vape budget is my cig budget, and I have pretty much stayed at, or under, for over 2 and a half years. I pretty much buy anything that catches my fancy (3 ProVaris, and probably more if they make new colors, OY).

Get what you want with your budget in mind, and, if you go over, get less next month. It does slow down, I spend half what I used to, and still get something every week or two. LOVE getting vapemail:)

With that being said, I have placed my order!

Dude, not only are you an enabler, you're co-dependent!!!!!! Muwahahahaha!!!! I think the 12 Step Vape program is on a different thread but that's just a misnomer to entice you to buy more "shineys", LOL!:ohmy:

Well, sure. Maybe. And the same will be true of the next one to get your attention.

I see I'm a bit late with the comment, but just wait. There will be another, and you can use the same reasoning over and over again.
