New things I know...

[xena222]

I have found that if I add a couple drops of flavor into the tank with my DIY, I like it better....I cannot make Jim any Watermelon juice to save my life that he likes....I ordered myself a pass through for Christmas because I got no vape stuff, I got birdseed (I like to feed birds)....my daughter was really brave when she got her ears pierced...I like Twisted Tea almost as much as coffee...I do NOT like coffee vape...if any store says anything is 50% off, I will buy it...

I did math today (yeah, I actually can add if I use a calculator LOL)....since I started vaping in June, I have spent approx 220 dollars on vape stuff, the biggest expense was the Halo kit...which worked for me for about two days before I decided I needed a LOT more vape (remembering well the cartoon you guys posted about me)....I saved over 250 dollars by not buying DIY cigarette stuff and the extra pack of Marb Menthols I needed every week to make me not feel like a loser....these are my final numbers for 2014...I will be back at the end of next year...I know I will have saved even more

Since it sounds like you still have some money to spend that you don't want to lose, I am developing a balm that many testimonials I wll put on the website say lessens shinyitis and labeled-liquiditis if you'd like to subscribe to my newsletter. Obviously, something of this utility won't be free, but if you tell me how much money you have left I'm sure we can work something out where I can keep most of it.

Just FYI -- we've all been there, and while budgets are important to keep in mind, the real thing I'd focus on is that by all available evidence, that $220 you've spent has greatly increased the chances you'll be around for more important moments with your daughter, let alone the other people who care about you.

*gives the horns*

Check out my sig. Cigs here cost $7 a pack for marb red 100s when I smoked. I smoked a pack and a half a day. 7 x 1.5 is 10.50. If I would have put $10.50 a day in my savings account since I went completely cig free, the amount of money in my sig box would be how much I would have in my savings account right now.

Damn. I should really start doing that.

Edit to add: If each cigarette reduces your lifespan by 3 minutes (can't remember where I saw that or if its even credible) then 28,490 cigarettes equals 59.3 days.

LMAO!!!! I think I will keep my shinyitis...I am probably allergic to the balm!! What you said though is completely right...that 220 dollars isnt a lot to consider when you consider I have a daughter who is only 9 (and an almost 18 year old with Aspergers) They need me to live a LOT longer than I was looking at by last June

Sooo true!!! nuts does NOT equal tobacco flavor...it just tastes like NUTS!! Some reviews said it was an excellent tobacco...umm, at least for me...well, NOT...

Oh I have already saved myself some serious time already I knew last spring where I was headed...and what I did have left wasn't going to be of any quality
I cant get my counter to tally money right because I made all my smokes..I figured if I was going to have a bad habit, my kids were NOT going to be losing out because of it...but it is REALLY hard to figure out cost per pack - especially since I didnt even know how many million cigs I was smoking a day

Xena so true...it's a whole new area to learn..I don't think I'll ever be done learning.

as for the savings, I knew when we'd just quit and logged on here and I saw those "savings" banners..we'll be lucky to break even. *lol* We've got shinyitis always (went and looked at a new truck for Ed yesterday) within reason though of course.(his is a 2002, it's time)

but I've learned don't buy anything online unless it's with paypal.

don't trust reviews is right Jetsetter, (some of them get rid of bad ones left for them, so that's just fluff you're reading)

the importance of putting a little "fluff" in the vape budget *lol* that or we're gonna have to have beans a couple nights.

Thats one thing I LOVE about vaping...all this doing stuff has helped keep me from smoking..LOL!! The reviews sometimes agree with me, I never thought about them deleting the bad ones!! ( I can be pretty trusting ) I had shinytitis LONG before vaping (I wont even get into my sparkle crack mineral makeup obsession from a couple years) So, actually, I kind of felt like I haven't gone completely overboard

I did a couple on samples that were sent or ones we've bought that just were nasty, after getting those emails "please review this" and the bad ones I've never seen stick around with a couple of the ejuice sellers.

yeah make up, photography, jewelry, skiing, motorcycles, whatever, it's another interest so I go overboard on *lol*

LOL me too!!! I could find a way to go overboard with Ramen Noodles

 

[drunkenbatman]

I have a daughter who is only 9 (and an almost 18 year old with Aspergers) They need me to live a LOT longer than I was looking at by last June

Truth, while not having parents does make kids more likely to become superheros, any superhero would trade it for having their parents. Glad you're looking after yourself.

Not possible, as ramen noodles are the best! Boil a bunch chopped kale/spinach leaves down in the water, add your packet of $0.20 noodles, crack in 2 eggs for 1 min until just poached on the outside but the yolk will coat the noodles once you pop it. 14g of protein, fiber & vitamins from the kale -- all for less than $1. Lotsa salt, but hey as vapers we need to drink a bunch of water anyways.

 

[underwhelmd]

we need a dislike button for kale. lol. ugh.


good quick recipe though. thanks!

LOL!!! Superheroes!! I never thought of that....naw, too bad, they will have to be normal ones...well, not that normal (they are MY kids, after all...)
Nothing against Ramen here - it is just I have to eat it for lunch almost everyday...and gosh, I am so sick of it...LOL!! But you are creative with yours!!! I so have to drink more water...I have still not gotten the hang of that

LOL, kale is not a personal favorite here, or spinach....not sure about poached eggs either, I have only ever eaten them scrambled with a bunch of butter (LOL, that sounds healthy...not...) You guys will make me healthy one day...
