I have to throw my hat in the ring. Really curious about the new gbox200 squonk and the new iconic coming out.:(
In the past couple months I got a couple drops, pulse, 20700's and the fuchai squonk. Oh and the capo squonk is on the slow boat.
Yep I have a big issue with shinyitis!
That being said I don't know if I can top the vape off the drop rda so I keep telling myself noo.
Guess the kids can have Christmas this month lol, but next year I might have to lock up my wallet.:matrix:

Funny thread...so my wife asked me if I needed any new vape things for Christmas, and I honestly told her no...I want for nothing. Does this mean I'm cured?

You might be........I’m hoping I am cured too. Been following this thread since it started, haven’t been tempted yet. Despite the best efforts of the master enablers hereabouts ;) Bought nothing but juice in a year and a half.
Great fun this thread is for sure........

There is no cure, only remission. How long it lasts depends on the number of product links clicked and clearances googled. With the holiday sales coming up, it's a dicey proposition.

I wanted for nothing at this time last year, but the insane clearances I chose to look at led to a bunch of Waidea Vaporflask clones, RX75s and Evic VTC Minis. Love 'em all. A couple hundred heads for my favorite topper at blowout prices too, but they're exempt. :D

At least it was budget shinyitus!

Budget shinyitis is better than WILD uncontrolled shinyitis, but those little things can add up :)

I still haven't bought anything yet, even though I should probably buy some rayon, it's cheap, my manifesto allows it, but I'm just feeling pretty content. Did a nice yoga practice to get all centered for my mommy coming over (and probably my last in a few days, due to the TRIAL).

Keep up the good (or bad) work, folks!!! With Christmas approaching I know we are ALL making herculean efforts to at least pray/meditate on our shiny purchases for a bit!

(I am kind of expecting this thread to either DIE or SWELL as Christmas sales approach).

But remember, backups are allowed, if the mod is a USEFUL purchase, it is allowed, this is a very forgiving support group.

Except for JFCooley.... Just because :lol::lol:. I kid, I kid, JFC.

Decorative mod panels are SO allowed if blinging one's mod out leads one to feel more favorably about vaping, hence making it so that the sufferer can continue to vape (stormtrooper mod).

Anna :D

Yet bling is by its very nature shiny. Hmm...

lol, just had the thought creeping back into my head but thankfully I am stuck home dog sitting... maybe tomorrow I will cave in when I am a half a mile away getting a hair cut. It doesn't help that the vape shop is in the same strip mall as a gun store I want to go window shopping at. :D

True Shinyitis is when you check the mailbox daily, knowing you have nothing coming, but hoping something will appear outta thin air.
I haven't made a mod purchase since March or April, been a while.
I've won a couple of cool mods, so that has helped with "the urge to splurge"!

I have read through the entire thread and greatly appreciate the support, but.......

Due to the distance required, I only get to my vape shop once every month or two. Made many a stop without spending a dime. Yesterday was my pre-Christmas visit and.................I succumbed! I still proclaim I DO NOT HAVE SHINYITIS! What I have is this unquenchable thirst to discover an even better vape then my current "best ever!" Yes, I succumbed and went for the Smok Mag 225 kit! Good news is, for me I may have actually quenched that thirst.......for now, anyway. Really loving the looks and feel (nothing I have fits my hands better!) of the mod and the TFV12 Prince tank is showing a lot of promise (still early with other coils to test).





I have the original G-Priv and like it. I was also eyeballing the Charon TS 218 and considering it, but with the G-Priv as well as a couple other large boxes, wasn't encouraged to jump on one. I do little/no TC since my testing was disappointing except for the Lavabox DNA 200, but got frustrated with it's limited battery life. But I may just have to give it a try again with the Mag.
I ended up getting the gpriv2 i liked it more than the charon 218 and it's much smaller so fits quite nicely in my coat pocket :p also that red looks so GOOD i can't stop looking at it ahah! Thanks for the opinion btw :)
Merry Christmas to me in advance :D
