My signature banner touts how much I have saved since I quit smoking - don't believe a word of it. I've spent way more than that in the last 3 months - but I couldn't be happier, healthier, and I'm having a lot of fun.

I decided to just keep track of everything I spend, and add that to the total spent on PVs part for my banner, hopefully I won't spend any more for a month, but.............

This has got to stop.
While I think you should have bought a Chuck, you have two good PVs -- the Riva and the SB. You have atomizers, low res atomizers and drip tips. You have a good assortment of liquid.

So far it looks perfectly normal to me. The only reason you should stop and catch your breath is that you have a lot of flavors to taste. Liquid does have a shelf life. I just tossed a few liquids I bought in Dec/Jan that I think had gone bad.

If you are lucky, out of 4 flavors you buy, you'll like one or two. You need to figure out which ones you like, which ones you might like once your taste buds revive and which ones you'll never like. Give those to someone and then it's time for round 2 of purchasing.

And it could be worse. I figured that I would definitely know better than anyone else what I like so I'd want to mix my own liquid. I bought a ton of Capella's flavorings, VG, bottles, etc. I have no idea what I was thinking. I don't like to cook. Why would I want to invent my own recipes?

Yea use his, you don't want mine your break even date would be next year some time! LOL
Or mine, that says that at this rate I'll never, ever, ever break even...


Just wait, OP, til you learn the magic of ordering in bulk from China. It's cheaper to buy cartomizers 100 at a time. Of course it costs $80 to do that. And you might as well get a few packages of low-res atties while your there. And the wife actually kinda likes the dekang menthol, so a liter of that. And some (more) spare batteries. Oh, and a backup Riva kit. And I wonder why my break even day is negative.

Well if they're using bit swapping with a small enough word size it means the number is so large that the last binary digit is on, which makes the following digits negative instead of positive as opposed to adding that digit.. Whether or not you understood that (I'm a nerd) it means the amount of days is very very high. Or the sig could just be crappy code.

I did understand that, but it's almost scarier than being in the hole. How big does a number have to be before PHP rolls over? "Breaking even in 0xFFFFFFFF days" *shudders*

(that's like 4.3 billion to the non-nerds)

Just pass your stuff along for a few generations, your great great great great grandkids will thank you. Lol.
