Also fighting the urge to upgrade my gen 1 pixel xl (which I still owe on) to a pixel 2 xl.....

This is just my opinion but as far as upgrading to the Pixel 2 XL I would recommend asking yourself what you are gaining. I'm a true Android nerd and I am currently using my first gen Pixel XL. I tried out the 2 XL for a few day (a friend of mine runs a VZW retail shop) and I just couldn't see what I was gaining to justify the price. Like I said, that's just my opinion.

Hey... I do have a question for everyone - speaking of my sons Christmas present.

I need to buy him batteries. LIION Wholesale is sold out of the batteries I want to buy.

So... I want to just have them dropshipped to my son... (no point them coming here first)

Does IMR Batteries drop ship?

Generally speaking, I've only ever bought batteries from LIION so I don't know how others do business.
Not sure but you can give them a call. I've called them before and they have a real person who answers the phone!

Does it absolutely have to be vape gear?

Ebay thinks I should get a scanning electron microscope now. The one on the left looks pretty shiny!!!! And shipping is only $500 from China!

Something that generates a electron beam using a 30 KV power source, made in China.
Scary...

If you want to get him to start vaping you should point out all the tools he can use to build and make his own wire! Then it becomes Shinyitis for vape gear and for tools.

@stols001

Don't forget that he can build vape stands, vape cabinets/shelves, he could even build his own mod (mech or buy a raw DNA board for it).

Guess who's getting a Xmas bonus!
Sounds like you earned it from previous posts. Congrats.

Shinyitis is gnawing on me right now. PJReid gifted me a beautiful black resin Fireluke. Now I'm sure I need a centered 510 mod for it. Suggestions welcomed, no led lights, under 100.00 and tc not a requirement.

I have a Fireluke and the flavor it puts out is phenomenal.
I'm wanting to put it on my Charon Adjustable for now. The coil is .15Ω. Think that will be okay with my 30q's but not sure.

Now we know why giving out personal information is discouraged.... I choked on my vape actually while imagining JFCooley as a "reluctant sponsor" at 2 a.m.

Y'all can call me at 2 a.m...... I am a VERY SOUND sleeper, LOL. My husband might pick up, though, and he's GREAT at controlling shinyitis (well mine, and well, not so much) but he hasn't started vaping YET, so he's probably a valuable resource. Based on his tool collection, if he takes to vaping we may have to rob a BANK.

That could be a fun phone call.
At 2 am and he answers you could have some fun.
Me: who the hell is this and why are you answering Anna's phone.
I'm her husband who is this.
Me: she told me to call when I had the urge........ .

I imagine infinite variations and alot of laughs later.

I'm still on my Galaxy S6 and see no reason to upgrade, either. I'm using vaping hardware that also came out in 2015 so there's that, too.

Wife just got me a iPhone 8. Currently have about 10 hours into it just trying to get the damn thing to do anything but make calls and send text messages (sometimes). Voice mail still doesn't work right. Almost wish I had my old flip phone back.

If you're having fun tho, Have at! Small price to pay for skipping cigs

You’re correct-ish.
I had achieved the skip cigs part on my first setup, possibly second, definitely third.
Everything since has been wonder and awe.
After so much gear I had to face it, I had a problem...

I’ve sorted the problem. I still want the things but I’ve decided that I have some of the best pieces around (imo) so for the greater good, I’ll stop looking.

Best of luck fellow victims/addicts/yearners/people-who-believe-the-grass-is-always-greener who have fallen foul of the shinyitis demon/demigod.

I’m here for you...

I used to have to have the latest and greatest when it came to my Android phones and tablets. For about a 3 year period I was averaging a new phone every 3-4 months and a couple of new tablets a year. When the Nexus 6 came out I decided that it was a phone I could live with for awhile (I still have it as a backup) and I did until the Pixel XL. Now I find I'm quite satisfied with the first Gen XL and don't see a reason to change
