Hi all,
I've posted several times, but never actually introduced my self. First, let's get my dirty secret out of the way. I'm not an ex-smoker. Well, not recently anyway. I quit smoking cigarettes about 15 years ago. I smoked for about 16 years. However, I moved from cigarettes to cigars and then to pipes and then most recently to snus. It would appear I really enjoy nicotine.
I decided that 2015 would be a year of change and so I find myself holding an iStick 20w with an Aerotank v2 on top vaping on some Cuttwood Boss Reserve at the moment. No more snus for me. The topic of this post though is who stole my wallet? I'm sure most of you know exactly what I'm talking about...
It all started one day in late 2014. I don't recall what led me to the Mig Cigs website, but I was intrigued. So I grabbed some cig-a-like batteries and carto packages. $100. I played around with those in that second week of 2015, but they just weren't delivering the nicotine I needed and very little vapor... I gotta have my clouds (btw, I don't inhale into my lungs)! So, I did some research and within 3 days I held a bright and shiny EMUS kit (it sucks, but I was thinking $26 for two batteries, a couple of tanks, and a charger seemed like a good deal) and an iTaste VV 3.0, plus an Aerotank v2. Plus coils, etc. $121.
Oh man! Much better, but those iClear 16s... great right up until you get that dry hit... The Aerotank was great, but when paired with the iTaste, I was seeing a day of use maximum. So, just a day or two later, I grabbed an eGrip (with some coils, RBA Base, etc.). Sweet, portable little setup, but another $100. I know, you're thinking, ~$300, not bad! That's before the juice... Halo, Nicoticket, all that Unicorn Milk... the Boss reserve, more Nicoticket... MT Baker... dear lord, that's $400 in juice. Who stole my wallet?
I received my iStick 20w yesterday. He's a champ... I have my Aerotank on top and that Boss Reserve is mighty nice (18mg).
So, I realize at this point, half of you are commiserating and the other half are preparing responses that include recommendations for new equipment.
My question is - does it ever end? Will I be able to make it through February without picking up that iStick 30w or 50w and that sexy Kanger Nano? Will I be able to resist Nicoticket's new flavor of the week next week (as if my bottle of Doodle will be done...) It appears we are embroiled in an arms race with newer, better products being released every week (I'm looking at you Ego One! So small, so portable, so sub). Will my wallet survive?
