oh the waiting game

[wutarush]

How do the citizens of reoville keep their vapemail anticipation at bay? I've dealt with the waiting before, but this is killing me (likely because it is my biggest vaping purchase yet). If I check the tracking one more time my phone may explode. I keep starring at my tube mod with the same disappointed look my parents gave me through all of high school, as if the thing I was perfectly satisfied with became obsolete the second I placed my reo order. I'm a very manic person as it is, I don't need this kind of anxiety




Seriously though, what do you do to pass the time?

It's agony, there's no denying it. Re-reading the 1000+ posts you've already read on this forum will help to pass the time, if you ordered an RBA, you can practice making coils with a bit of wire and your choice of wick. You could think about tools you may need, a trip to the store should kill a couple of hours. Coffee, LOTS of coffee (or your beverage of choice). Re-view all the videos on Rob's site, and last, but not least, you should begin to consider what color scheme your next REO will be

Row, run, read -- all worked for me.

btw...kids don't come with owner manuals. Most of the time, parents just fly by the seat of our pants.

Lol yea I'm learning that already and my little man is only 10months. If he is anything like his mother and I in his teen years I'm not going to make it to 45.

wow. that sucks. i feel for you, bro.

when i was smoking, it was bad enough to run out of cigs. but having cigs and not even one single match was sheer agony.

Yep. But just goes to show that I should start saving for another REO, so I can have a backup REO lol

I have a love/hate relationship with the way I rationalize things lol

I'm probably the wrong guy to answer this question. My mailman screams like a girl and runs when he sees me. I dont understand!

Now THAT is rough man, sorry to hear that. I have heard you can make a battery out of a potatoe... Desperate times... Desperate measures.

You can start writing classifieds for all the things you won't use anymore. Welcome to the tribe!

I feel for ya'. I didnt realize until my VV Grand was nearly here that it took different batts than my Grand. Noob mistake but anyway I'll always be indebted to RTD Vapor. He saved my .... with a fast shipment and both pkgs arrived same day! I hope you don't have to wait much longer...

That brought to mind one time I was far out of town on a job and nobody nearby so I poured a tiny puddle of gas on the ground and used jumper cables to spark it. It worked though. I had forgotten about that. Now that's desperation....

Ummmm..... yep, I'd say so lol. Can't say I blame ya tho, ingenious actually. I ordered from RTD, now tracking says Friday but I'm hoping tomorrow. It always seems to be about a day early on everything shipped for me.
But its ok, bc the anticipation just builds and once they come in, it'll be even better

That's why God made toasters. I'm pretty sure mine had more cigarettes than bread slices stuck in it.

Never tried that one...clever.

Wow...even Bear Grylls wouldn't attempt that method. You're a brave man.

I'll tell you how to pass the time. You said you have been staring at your tube mod with "the same disappointment look my parents gave me.." Start looking on the classies for how much mods like yours are selling for. Then figure out how much more money you need to buy your next REO. That's what you need to concentrate on; not the REO that you have ordered, but the next one that you are going to get! Start thinking of door combinations, Grand vs Mini vs VV. This should keep you preoccupied for a while! Start watching videos of building coils for your RM2 (if you didn't order one, order one tonight!). Start reading about wicking materials. Look at Vapdivvr's video over and over and over and over like it is the last movie on youtube. Read every post starting from post number one and see how not only the mods have changed, but so have the people. You'll lean interesting things like Nerak (A super nice person) is really Karen spelled backwards. You'll see that just a short time ago Super_X used cartos and tried attys (see, he's human just like us). You'll read about Sennie eventually building better coils than her husband. By the time your mod comes in, you will instinctively just look at it, put it together in under five seconds, build a super coil and be ready for any dam thing that appears before you!

Well that's a hell of a lot of studying meterial haha. I have been pretty much reading nothing but reo based info for about 3 days straight (plus the few additional days beforehand of reading I did while trying to decide what mod I would get) so hopefully that'll help me out a little when it arrives. I did order the rm2 by the way and can't wait to see how well it works.

As for selling my other devices, I don't have much worth selling, A SID and twist (which my girl has confiscated). I'll probably just hang on to it for now. But trust me, I'm already browsing which I want next, granted they preform as well as it seems (with such a following it would be hard to believe they dont). I would be in some serious ish if I ordered one anytime soon though, took a week to make her ok with the first one. Poverty is a ....* lol.
