I ordered 6 earlier today so he can either catch it over the weekend or see mine next week. I gave him a good description so no worries. Thanks though you're a sweetie. Brew

Do you need pictures to show him?

i've spent way,way more on vaping than i would have come close to spending on smoking. I figure at least 3x more.:blink: Part of that is due to the fact that i wasn't brand loyal and smoked generics. I still see those around here for <$3 pack. Another part of it is that i knew this was my last ditch effort to stop smoking and i wasn't going to shoot myself in the foot by cheaping out on the endeavor. My prime focus at first was having multiple flavors of juice at different strengths to alleviate any and all cravings that might arise. I bought a bunch of juice and a bunch of it i didn't like. Then i settled into my routine and got the kids involved in it and set them up. So yeah, it was quite an expenditure up front.

Then comes the next part. I started hearing the tom toms beating and watching the fda maneuvers. Figured it was time to stock up on attys and carts and learn diy. More expense there.(we're talking big carto bulk buys from china, nic liquid stock up, oh my i could open a shop) then cruising around the forum i ended up here and was reading about people going on and on about their reos. Hmmm, maybe i should try one. Got it and realized i'd need a backup, and the vv woods came out and i needed a backup for it. 8 reos later i think i'm backed up sufficiently.:laugh: Then i realized that no matter how many cartos i stocked they won't last forever. So yep, i'm in a group buy for 3 bottom fed rebuildable atomizers.

Lot of money out but i don't mind cause i haven't smoked in almost 2 years and that's worth all the gold at the end of the rainbow to me. And when the feds pull the trigger they can kiss my big fat lily white one cause i can still vape away the same way i am now until i drop dead from hopefully old age. Winning! :p

amen sista!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually...I just got to doing the math...and Wayne and I have not spent $28,800 on cigarettes...in the last two years. Now I can't tell you how much we have spent, but it is certainly WAY less....by at least 10K or more. :thumbs:

The cost per carton for our brands were $65 to $70 each, including sales tax, at (C) Lostco. There's a heavy "luxury tax" on cigarettes in Texas. I was doing 3 packs a day, although many burned in ashtrays, and DH was doing 2 packs a day. He occasionally, actually rarely, picks up a pack and they are about $10 a pack. I don't get on him at all. It's not how many you smoke but how many you don't smoke.

Hugs, Feisty Alice

Hey Lisa :cool:

So was just curious, is a "turning" the 1 year anniversary on ECF or 1 year not smoking? My 1 year on ECF is tomorrow and July 5th is my 1 year not smoking. I pretty proud of that :)

Joined 6/30 @ 22:13 Eastern time...ECF year is 365 days...this was a leap year

Did you log on tonight after 25 after the hour ?
