I love Smokeless Image a little too much, I think): Really, I have gone insane buying stuff:facepalm:

I am so happy that I have cut down from 2 PAD to 1 PAD to even less without even trying since I started vaping that I have gone a little overboard buying stuff.:shock:

I just got my new order in with the 24mg Ry4 and the strong sampler cartos and the blank cartos and the 650 battery, yesterday.

Today I received my third order since August 7th. It is the car adapter, Freedom 24 mg and the sweet sampler and those adorable carto cases. I already put some refills in those with a label on the box so I know what they are.

So, today I am thinking this is great. I never thought I could quit smoking and now I am more than half way there. So, I placed fourth order for the 950 battery, Country cartos and refill bottle in 24 mg and 3 clearomizers. Hopefully, this will be all I need for a week or two.

Reason for battery overload? Well, I am going on the annual hunting trip at the end of September/first of October and I thought it would be great to go pretty much smoke free by then. I didn't think that when I started vaping but it actually seems like a pretty doable goal at this point. So, plenty of batteries and chargers so nothing will stop me.

Think of all the benefits:

No sticking my head out the tent flap in the mornings. It's cold in the morning.


No sticking my head out the flap when it is snowing, raining, hailing, sleeting, during 50 MPH winds.

No worrying about burning a hole in our nice tent. No worrying about burning the grasslands or forest down.

No carrying a .... bucket every where and/or stuffing butts in my pockets so I am not a litter bug.

No sitting in the truck during fire season to smoke. I can vape anywhere and not worry about a hot cherry falling off the cig.

No Hubby looking peeved because I am burning a stinky cig in the truck and no complaints about ashes getting in his eyes. [He says "You just got ashes in my eye" at least once per road trip and I always tell him to roll up his window and it wouldn't be an issue but I am really sorry that happened. Ah, the traditions you develop over the years.] He has always been pretty nice about the smoking since he doesn't smoke but he does have his little moments.

No keeping away from everyone else who already quit so they don't look envious, peeved, horrified or like "I am so much better than you because I quit, ya loser".

No hanging out by myself because no one wants to be around a smoker.

No hanging out with a fellow smoker I don't like just because we both smoke and we are stuck outside together.

The non smokers won't make stupid comments about second hand smoke when we are in the vast outdoors and I am down wind and the wind is not blowing the teensey weensiest bit of smoke in their direction.

To tell you the truth, I have spent about $60 over my monthly cig budget but it has been so worth being able to cut back on the cigs and feel like totally quitting is doable. I think I will sit down and make a comprehensive list of all the benefits to not smoking while I am hanging out tonight. I ran all the way up the driveway yesterday. Okay, it ain't the Olympics but it sure felt good.

I hear ya Reno I've been on and off vaping for 18 months but got serious 6 weeks ago. Yeah I'm dropping cash in the front side of this while I stock pile batteries, gear, and juice so that I can always have the stuff on hand to easily vape and not smoke. But so far I've been smoke-free for 15 days.

Why do you want to be stopped? your initial investment my be a bit higher than your Smoke Budget but it's a small price for feeling better. Once you've found the set-up and juice you enjoy your cost will decrease and your health will improve.

I started with three 78mm Volts, Cartos and liquid on March 19th, giving up 39 years of Analogs, Camel Non-Filters. Three weeks later I bought two X2s, followed by three more, all Manual 900s (3) & 650s (2), and plenty of juices from several Vendors, a total of $980.00 or ~19.6 Cartons of Smokes @$50.00. My Break even date is November 19th, eight months of smoke-free enjoyment, no coughing, hacking, stinking or feeling like poo!

I have enough liquid until probably January or February so I really don't need anything else. I've found the Set-up and juices I like and will NEVER go back to Analogs. My only regret is this fine Product wasn't available years sooner.

Smoke free for fifteen days is awesome!!!! I can't believe how much better I feel from smoking half or, today, even less than half of what I am used to.

You are doing so good at not smoking.

Honestly, I do think the investment is worth it now that I have had a chance to try vaping and found out it really is working for me. It is an investment, in my health. I am so thrilled to be so hopeful about quitting.

I am thrilled for you and for all of us "ex-smokers". I had given up on ever quitting smoking in this lifetime. Electronic cigarettes are a miracle for me. Yahoo for us all!!

Sitting down, facing forward.
The initial "investment" may be higher than you anticipate but it's worth every penny if the result is no more tobacco. After you get set with batteries, cartridges, CE3s, clearos and all the other goodies you'll probably find yourself "expermimenting with liquids, both vendors and flavors. Sometime in the future, maybe after a VV setup with a battery big enough to start a bulldozer and a tank big enough to swim in, you'll hit that "happy spot". Just keep on vapin'!

What stops me from buying more gear right now is the fact that SI has lots of new goodies coming soon. New syringe-less clearos, new batteries (with built-in stylus?), new line of juices :laugh:

Ya know the syringe isn't much trouble at all. I usually fill five at a time and use a 3ml syringe. Takes a whole 5 minutes and never have to guess if I'm putting in too much liquid...I can see when it's full. The 5 cover me for more than a day, sometimes two days so 5 minutes ain't too shabby and the vapor output and flavor are outstanding. To be honest, if the CE3s were in stock now I'd have already placed another order for some and some additional batteries. The stylus tip may be a little farther off in the future, they're having trouble finding a manufacturer to do a "small" run of the rubber tips, but I keep hoping and trying to work my tablet with my 78mm occassionally!

Maybe you and Ms. G can team up and get a volume discount...she's busy buying bats to match her outfits...and buying outfits to match her bats...I understand they have camo wraps if those would help your hunting.

LOL Yes, what every hunter's wife needs is camo wraps for their e cig. Maybe on my next order!
