For the first time, I forgot mine this year. I must really be quit. :lol: To round off the averages, quit just over six years ago, haven't smoked 99,000 cigarettes :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: and saved almost $33,000 ( minus one or two thousand spent on vaping, most of which will last the rest of my life). :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Hi there ... really nice to have you drop by.

I didn't realize I'd posted that many vaperversary rodents on here but looking back, I guess I did. [emoji38]
You used to post those cute little critters all the time. I miss them!

Okay, just for you. :wub:

If I drank coffee, this is how I'd look at my old school vape gear every morning.

That face!
I haven't bought any new "new" gear since we thought deeming was going to kill vaping. :( Still have the stash though. :thumb:
I got stocked up that first year. All I've bought since then is a few juices I thought sounded good. But they weren't as good as my adv that I diy, so I don't do that often. I'm so settled with my mods & tank that all I've done is add a few more Kayfun 5's. Still thrilled that I'm not smoking!

Haven't bought juice in a long time. I did buy beignet flavoring a year or two ago. :wub: @Myrany (did I spell it wrong, didn't hyperlink nor did I get any spelling prompts, she quit the same day I did) turned me on to it. But I inadvertently lied, I got a titanium extension tube recently since the smaller button top batteries are getting hard to fine, Wish I'd bought some of those flat to button top adapters when they were available. :( Titanium rings should shave about a pound off the mod.

I still in awe that I was able to quit via vaping. Had tried so hard to do it for over 40 years and vaping is the only thing that actually worked, let alone even made a dent in the smoking habit. I did have a cigarette dream the other night but it's too late to go into right now. :lol:

Glad you're happy with your stash too, can you imagine the panic if you weren't? :w00t:

I'm the same way @FlamingoTutu , I haven't "needed" to buy anything for years.
Can't say I have't bought anything though :oops: (just spent a grundle for a 7 year old mod)

Not fair ... not fair ... what oldie-but-goodie did you pick up?

    Adapters are still available at Indy Vapor shop. They also have button top 18500 batts. They do require the age verification thing, can't remember if you didn't want to do that with them.

    Or get 50 adapters for a buck. Not sure how you use them, perhaps you have to re-wrap the batt with this in place on top.

    A grundle is a steal for a solid old school mod! Congratulations on the score. :thumbs:

    Thanks, I'd seen those but they want photo ID to order them which I don't have the capability to do right now. Someone else implied they weren't that reputable a vendor but didn't elaborate. Tried to find them elsewhere but with no luck. :( Thank you for posting that though. :)

    Thanks, I searched on FT for the adapters @rosesense posted or those and came up with nothing. Bookmarked and will order when they come in stock.

    They’re cheap enough to not matter if they don’t work... didn’t see any info on them???

    I have seen them on flashlight forums when I was looking for the other adapters. They said they used a wee spot of glue to hold it in place and then re-wrapped the battery. If you try it, do look up proper instructions on how to do it, that's just what I read in two separate posts on how they did it. You'd think every battery vendor would be carrying this stuff now.
