Well, the reason it's become so expensive is because I have sort of turned it in to a hobby I started with a blu, then moved on to a Volcano Inferno, then I bought a Volcano Lava Tube, and I just bought an ego twist with an evod. I'm starting to look into rebuilding, and I have no issue with this, it's all fun to me. ha ha I've never had a real hobby before so I've just been trying to have some fun with it.
And this is an issue with her why? I understand the health concerns, I really do, but if she met you and got into a relationship with you while you were smoking, she should, at the very least, be able to appreciate the fact that there is *almost* zero chance that vaping could possibly, in any way, be worse than smoking and is *almost* certainly hundreds or thousands of times better. As for turning it into a hobby, again, why is this an issue with her? Money is tight all over right now, sure, I get that, but if it is your money and not eating into your cost of living then why is it an issue? Unless you have a domestic partnership sort of arrangement where everything is split, blah blah blah, it is YOUR money to spend how YOU desire. Sounds selfish, sure, but YOU did the work, YOU earned the money, it is YOURS to spend how YOU want. Yes, relationships are built on levels of mutual compromise and agreement, but the keyword is mutual. As far as you've told us, this really ain't all that mutual.
Even now, as a vaper, I don't think I could be in a relationship with someone who didn't accept that as something that comes with being with me, not because it's so damn important, but because it is an aspect of who I am now, like being a smoking and a chewer was before. It's the same as my proclivity toward profanity and being completely sexually and politically incorrect (products of working since my high school formative years in the restaurant industry). Or being with someone who was unhappy with the lifestyle I live in general. Sure, parts of it aren't spotlessly clean, but it is MY lifestyle, it's how I live MY life. Same as your life and lifestyle are YOURS. You need someone who can, for the most part, accept that and be willing to work with it. SFW if you don't quit vaping, if you hadn't STARTED vaping you'd still be smoking the stink sticks... and not to be a debbie downer, but the chances of ever quitting those without something solid like vaping are pretty slim.
*I apologize if little or none of this makes sense, or is even really relevant, it's late/early here on the East Coast of the USA and I have not slept much in recent memory*
