    No you can't
    Pros of upgrading can be said in few words "your vapor experience should improve."

    Cons each time I upgraded my equipment, I put my older equipment in the draw and forget them, I just can't be satisfied with them anymore.

    Started with three Vea's and
    Carto and I have 20 of them IN THE DRAW.
    Vivi Nova tanks 4 of them IN THE DRAW.
    Protank tank 5 of them IN THE DRAW.

    Got a Fogger few months back works great, if I upgrade it that will go into the DRAW ALSO.
    I pulled out the protanks the other day very disappointing in them NOW! - - I'M RUINED and SPOILED. OMG

    Got a Sigelei 30 last month super device, put my Vamo's and other devices IN THE DRAW. Until the Sigelei 30 broke and got my money back from the vendor. Now I'm using the Vamo's again NOT THE SAME - - I'M SPOILED.

    Now I'm forced to get a Sigelei 30 again or something better - - I'm SPOILED - - thinking about building an SX350 mod.

    I've learned with every upgrade my older equipment becomes obsolete. OMG :blink:

    or sell it discounted to a friend to help justify another purchase o_O

    I just sold my SiD (in good condition) to a buddy who was looking to upgrade from egos. He got the SiD and 4 Efest 20 amp batteries for $60... SiD retails at $40 and batteries are around $10 each.. but I had no use for them.. don't trust them in my mech or hana clone... using some of that money to get new sony vtc 5's (the 4 I have are being rotated to often.. I'd rather charge weekly rather than every few days lol)

    Egos I pass out as party favors.. lol - i'm passing my old egos and clearos to friends that want to try vaping. Not really worth discounting $8 (for new) evods or $20 batteries imo.

    I did PIF some old drippers that I dont use any more to a buddy - he wanted to try his hand at rebuilding and got a kayfun, so I gave him those to mess around with.

    My drawer is getting lighter... YAY!
    Now its time to clean out those bottles of unvapeable liquids...

    I generally pass along the older stuff to friends and family. There is always someone that appreciates a visit from Vapor Claus, even in August.

    I teach at a university in one of the poorest counties in the U.S. I have many students that like to chat with me outside after class. If they're smokers, I'll hand them my old gear and tell them to give it a try or hand it off to another smoker that will use it. Now there's a blossoming vape scene on campus whereas before everyone was smoking.

    Gear and juices that just sit the drawer aren't helping anyone. Pay it forward!

    There's a lot of ECF members that are able to put their gear in rotation, but for me I'm like you. If my new gear works better than my old gear or if I just like it better everything else becomes a backup and sits.

    Me and my credit card are thankful that the reo has put an end to my searching. As far as the stuff I don't use anymore, I've pm'd total strangers on here and sent them stuff they were asking about. It's a good feeling to help others and makes me grateful for the people who have been good to me. It all comes full circle. Good luck to you and happy vaping. :)
