Stop me..... Help..... Spending too much

[gnsmith]

I placed my first order the first part of April, 2009 and I just placed my 10th order Sunday night.

Grand total of all 10 orders = $1125

This is beginning to become a obsession

I think you need to talk to my boss about a raise

I'm assuming your ordering direct from China ?? If so, try Eastmall. I placed my first order with them on April 29th and it's already through Customs and at my local USPS facility. I should be getting it tomorrow! Anyway, if you are ordering from China keep your orders on the small size and they should just breeze right through Customs....

no i ordered from the uk i have an evo, However i am thinking of buying from china, I haven't because when i first started researching all this every one advised against ordering from china or using anything from there. what is considered a small order? Do they go by amount bought $ or amount bought # of items? Do U now of a USA supplier for the EVO both the US intellicig sites i found or shut down. thank you for your help, people might not notice i am a newbee because I am so passionate about this new way of life. but I am still new and learning as much as i can as fast as i can

Welcome to the club. Look on the bright side, when e liquid is banned, you'll have plenty to "survive" on. It will happen, so it was a necessary and wise decision on your behalf.

Worked it all out, I have about 1.75 years of smoking juice at the rate I consume. Which is nice as it fits under the manufacturers shelf life of juice. Must remember to consume them in the order I bought them though

When the stocks get low, lets say 5 bottles, then I will start to stock up again

Hopefully in nearly 2 years time, things will be more stable.



Under the hood of the tool box. There isn't an inside, it is compartments on the other side the same as the side you can see. That again is normally stocked full of juice / carts etc.

One guy advised against using anything from China? Well, that is where everything is made so you really don't have an option! As to Customs, there is no set answer to that and even small orders could be stopped. But for the most part as long as you aren't buying thousands of dollars of product, it will probably fly right through Customs. But if you want something right now order from a vendor in the USA. No need for you to be hung up on ONLY buying an EVO....

My first order was the EVO. It took so long to get here, I ordered a M401 from the US. Well, that was back in February. I have two more M401 kits, and like them much more than my EVO. I hate the EVO batteries! I keep hitting the 5 second shutoff and can't use it for two minutes. I mix and match parts. I have all colors that make some interesting combinations. But I mostly use the M401s. I hope you like your EVOs. I know a lot of people do.

Catanonia you could always share with your friends here

I'm kinda in the same boat as so2late4me. If I don't get an order within a reasonable amount of time, I have a tendancy to place another order with a different supplier. Then I forget who I placed it with and order some more from the same supplier! But I can't seem to get the juice I want when I want it! I know that this will eventually catch up to itself, and won't that be fun! Wonder what all I've ordered this week?
Hmmmmm

 

[RazorNribbonz]

lol biteme, I stopped doing that..I now catalog my orders..Every supplier has an index card with my account info, what their S&H is, price-ml of e-liquid, price for thier starter kits - passthrus - attys and batteries, what date I ordered - received and any additional notes...All receipts are folded up nice n neat with the name and date of who I ordered from on the outside..
Now when I'm thinking--ohhh who had those passthrus for less? or when did i order that or I forgot my pw.. It's all right there...

I thought I was bad, I know I've spent between $1200 and $1500 already and well, I thought, even if I'm not bad, I've got to be crazy and then I read this thread and I don't feel so bad, we're all crazy! It's great having company!

Welcome to the spenders club.

I for one now am leaving it, well maybe a few more batteries

Only have 8 + 4 of the wifes.

Spend most of my time with the USB power pack (Kensington) so I spose that is saving the baterries

MUST RESIST..... Especially since won some more on Blackjack tonight.

Ok, I now feel somewhat better, by comparison Recently discovered e-cigs existence, after smoking 1.5 packs/day for nearly 20 years now, and trying to quit previously without success...realizing basically how much I *like* it, I did my borderline OCD research on e-cigs, planning on giving it 'the best try I can' to lower my analog use, so bought within a few days:
TW titan/501 with PCC + USB, few cartridges
JC sample pack of e-juice + a few vials of juice.

So then I realized the TW starter kits are *different*, and don't all have the spare battery and atomizer, so went back and added another 2 atomizers and batteries.

Did some homework on vendors, and different places to get juice from, plus the possible ban and customs issues, as well as everyone's general consensus on needing a backup or at least plenty of spares, so wound up at midwest vapor, buying misc stuff (small bottles, some PG and glycerin), and an M401 starter.

However, midwest had no spare batteries or atomizers for the 401, and saw eastmall having a pretty good sale on juice, plus...they have M401 parts, so 2x M401 atomizers and batteries and $100 of juice.

Done now, but seriously hoping the e-cig works out, and it all arrives intact!

Sure they dont want you to buy from china. Thats where most of it probably comes from. Mine did?

[Hey, it might sound nuts to you that I've spent a grand on this thus far, but at this point I'm stocked up with juice for months, and I KNOW what e-cig/s I want to use on a daily basis!

So...You've tried them all...what's your fave...I'm on my 2nd type - first was smartcig - didn't feel anything like smoking at all - but my new m401 is pretty good - the carts seem to be only good for about 30 puffs - so that's a bit disappointing - guess the juice is the answer to that problem.

Anyway - if you've tried them all you must know what works best and I'd love to know what you think
hugs
