Does she like pink?
View attachment 523226
I have two TC/regulated mods and 26+ mech mods. I would recommend this one for ease of use and it's a rock solid mod. This is my second Cloupor Mini Plus, I gave my black one to my hubby.
She has never been big on pink, but she does tend to like softer colors.

I should have made it clear that she has never said anything, but I just get that "vibe" that she thinks I'm overdoing it. She is smart, so she probably knows more than she lets on. And If she asks, I will not lie to her.

In my experience secrets like this in marriages are just stuff you have an unspoken mutual agreement not to talk about.

Id be rather surprised if she didnt know...or know "somewhat "???

...if only from the credit cards/bank statements/$$$???.

Most people DO check accounts once in a while,especially now that you can do so so easily online ;) not necessarily to check up on their spouses but just to keep track of expenditures/family finances.
I only use prepaid cards online for security reasons. I always try to get a little extra overtime if I know there is something Im looking to buy. That way I'm not eating into our everyday income.

She still spends a good amount on smoking, but I cover any vaping she does with a smile on my face because I hope she will eventually change over completely. I'm hoping to have her around and in my life for the rest of mine.
Just wait til she gets shinyitis :D

I don't discuss every single vape related purchase with my lady, but she is very smart, and has figured out that just like my other hobbies I have developed quite a stash. I think she's good with it, though, because she loves the fact that I'm not smoking. She figures at any cost it is worth it.

My hubby raises an eyebrow when I have back to back usps boxes but doesn't say much. He has his OCD tendencies and so do I. When I started vaping regularly (2013) we agreed that his current hobby had already accumulated to $1250 and until we got to that point I was in the clear. I surpassed that point a few months back.

One of the few "benefits" of living alone, I only have to worry about the dogs and the cat. And since they're horrible at stuff like math and inventory control (the cat's dish is empty unless it's overflowing, apparently) they don't gripe a whole lot about my hobby. :thumb:
 
I have found myself trying to beat my wife to the Post Office, smuggle my vaping gear in, and stash it away. I feel she thinks I'm going overboard (I might be) but I just want to be prepared for the worst once regulations are decided on. She vapes some, but still smokes too. So she doesn't understand the possible urgency of the situation. I am a little OCD, so I probably am overdoing it a bit. I don't like the feeling of hiding anything from her but I can't seem to make her understand. So, does anyone else have a secret stash or try to keep things "out of site, out of mind" that your significant other doesn't know about?


NO, no sig other here. I think you need to get her online at ECF to read abt some of the issues, #1) there are many stockpiling b/c the hammer is coming down and #2) it's not good to keep secrets btw mates.

Your cat must be related to my cat! :D

When I smoked, it was 2 PAD of Doral Ultra Lights. Those were $36 a carton then, and a carton lasted 5 days. 6x$36=$216/mo. I don't know how much a carton costs today, but I'm sure it's more. 70,160 cigarettes not smoked, divided by 20 in a pack, times $6 = $20,148 saved.

I spend about $50 a month on 200ml of juice, so I figure I have about $200 a month or more in savings over smoking (at today's prices). I average one or two new mods a year that average $35 to $70 each. I wind my own coils, so I spend $10 a year on Sally's Cellucotton and an $8 spool of Kanthal lasts 2 years or more.

I rest my case at that point. I'm saving considerable money by vaping. :)

its funny because I was just thinking about stockpiling. I guess i need to do some research on how long liquids can stay for (DIY)
