Wait till you get to the point to where you realize your pockets do not hold enough of your to-go vape stuff and you end up getting a man purse. I figure it happens because when we are smoking its simple, pack or 2 of analogs and a lighter or two. But vaping leaves some uncertainty. So you figure you will need a carto or a tank for going out, then you realize you need multiple cartos/tanks with different flavors. Then you start thinking, I need my drip rig in case those fail. Then you think, you know, I need some juices for the emergency drip rig. Then you think I need an extra battery or two, don't want to run out of power. Then you think, what if none of that works so you toss in the simple little smokestik or 510. Before you know it, you no longer have room in the pockets!!!!

That will pass as time goes on chatter97 ...I was that way last year ...but now as long as I have 2 options ....I'm fine, you will be too :lol:
My batt can even quit while I'm running errands or whatever ...& I'm OK till I get home .
...I think e-cigs seem unsure @ first cuz they "are" kinda ....till U get used to them
& cuz real cigs made us "so crazy" if deprived of . But after awhile you'll see that urgency/panic.... will fade away.

Welcome GreyLion !!! I'm sure you'll love Vaping ...It's a great journey ...

oh & see my banner (below) I've been vaping for 14 months & have spent about $600 :D
so you can do this & save $$ if you shop well, DIY & enter every contest you can find!! :lol:

Yeah, I thought I'd just buy a simple starter kit at V4L this morning. Then I kept adding stuff because I realized that I'd NEED it. Then GP had this deal happening. Then V4L had this Killer Deal happening.

Now I've surfed half a dozen vendor sites, and some threads here, and I keep reacting with "Ooh! Shiny!"

It's just a phase.... Like buying musical gear has been a phase. For decades.... :unsure:

Hi, Vapers --

I'm looking to get away from analog smoking because, uh, well, it's gonna kill me if I keep it up. But my brain loves that nicotine hit. I made the terrible mistake of googling about vaping for most of last night. I had no idea that the scene was so developed and complex and fascinating.

I've spent decades obsessing about and acquiring music-making gear (this is commonly known as GAS -- Gear Acquisition Syndrome -- in that community, and I've got it bad. Is that what it's called here?)

About dawn, I ordered a bunch of stuff from V4L and GP for starters.

I can see that I'm gonna have a whole new field of obsession to immerse in, and end up knowing way more about than is probably good for me.

I look forward to hanging out with you all.

...Maybe now I won't have to buy another guitar this month.... :blush:

Yes, the ecig obsession. After my fail attempt last year of trying ecig due to not knowing much about them and the awful experience I had with cartomizers with e-liq that tasted awful that it turned me off to ecigs. This year I'm starting new since I had to quit regular smokes due to health reasons.

My obsession already started!!.. I have an ego-T, a Janty Stick and a Revolution V2...ouch!...Got the last two devices with the Thanksgiving sales going on. I couldn't resist the temptation!..lol I think I finally found the e-juices that I like which took me a while and $$$...this was the most difficult part for me.

This time, I'm not going back to analog smokes, I'm sticking to vaping until I can get it to at least 95% close enough to enjoy it like when I was smoking. Oh I loved smoking and still miss it but it was time to let go and quit. It's been one whole month without a smoke!

Good luck to you!

Peace

And oooh shiney!!! is one of my most used comments !! cuz ........They are ALL so Shiney !!! :lol:
Did you see these ...very shiney !!
you have enough posts now to post there & enter contest !!! READ rules tho cuz you need to enter in 2 places !
 
And if you have anything cheap, with active pickups laying around...you can always mod your axe into a PV:)


Dude! I've been thinking about punching a set of EMG's or Duncans into an Old Les Paul Studio that I haven't been playing much for awhile.

You're an evil, evil person, cracker75, encouraging somebody to combine addictions. I like that about you. :laugh:
 
I don't know how you guys spend thousands on gear. All you need is a couple fat bats and a handfull of resurrectors.

I have two ego650 passthroughs. That's it.

Those of you who have too much money, and need help, PM me for my address. I'll help you out.

Yeah, I get your viewpoint. For me, at least, it seems to be about the division between viewing something as a tool to accomplish a task with, versus viewing it as a toy to be played with, either mentally or physically.

Most of my really long-standing obsessions, especially regarding computer gear and music-making gear, have both qualities. :)

I'm just hoping I can find the right stuff for my provari. I love my Silver Bullet but I'm sick of the burnt cartos. I've used 1 carto every day since I got it. And it's fine until I put fresh charged batteries in, one toot and it burns the carto up. So hopefully my Provari will be better. I already have a tank for her just need new punched cartos and I hope to be good to go.
