It all seems down hill from the start with my Sigelei ZMax and a couple of clearo's and carto's. I was burning the ZMax using it at all waking hours. Then, got a Patriot dripper and fell in love all over. Next came a Taifun GT. All coiled above 1.2 ohms from a single spool of 30 g kanthal. I was happy! Started with some juice samplers.

Through sheer luck, I won a Neptune Hybrid here thanks to a Beyond Vape contest. Love renewed, the vape, both flavor and clouds was a new eye opener. The Zmax and other tanks were waylaid in favor of this little mech mod. Now buying juice in 30 ml at a pop and more and different gauges of wire needed.

As I slid down the slope, helped by all I read here at ECF, decided I needed a more powerful VW device and got a DNA 30 box mod but also wanted a mech mod so I could use other style tanks and drippers the hybrid coun not use. Along came the copper 4nine, Big Dripper and a Kayfun. Still on occasion bring out the ZMax but now I am vaping multiple devices much more.

I thought I was through with the spending spree but the slope is oh so slippery. Juice purchases now to allow for steeping include 50+ ml bottles. A Veritas, Plume Veil, another Taifun GT, Stingray, Reo LP/SL and a RM6 are on the way.

The only thing stopping me from more vape gear is the thought of having to buy Christmas gifts for others.

I am glad my tobacco addiction has almost ceased except for a celebratory cigar a couple times a month but oh the slippery slope down the vape path does not seem to end. I blame it all on the fine folks who make ECF a fine place to hang out.

Only you can stop the madness lol
When I set out to quit smoking with vaping I set a limit on what I would spend after going over that limit by 200% I stopped.
I will never have all I wish to have but what I have works great lol.
Added every thing up and as of today I have saved over $3,000.00 even with what I spent on vaping toys and DIY juice.

I read mostly good reviews until I got mine, then I found the bad ones when I had problems. There's a big big problem with the post screws and them loosening on their own.

I have read about that issue, not sure it is a concern if it can be fixed. Looks kind of like a bad clone issue to me. Some clones get it and some do not. Time will tell for me since I should have mine in hand Wednesday or Thursday. I am the eternal optimist.

I've heard quite a few people with authentic ones have the same problem . I just ordered some new screws so we'll see.

Just a heads up. Plume veil is a waste of money.

Yeah it really is. I don't know what the hell RiP was talking about when he gave it a good review. I got one and I never use it anymore. Flavor is pretty good vapor is okay. I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Get a 454 Big Block.

Yeah I didn't really get it for a while. RiP liked it, I wanted to like it so much but I just cant. Mostly because it's unreliable and when it did work the flavor and vapor just weren't up to par with my stillare. Get a tobh or a tugboat. Simplicity at its finest and some of the best tanks I've ever used. I wanna get a 454. you really like yours?

Of course -- we're all excellent enablers, who love to spend other people's money! :D
