The stresses of running low on gear...

[tracilynnie]

So I'm now down to an almost dead carto tank filled with Gummy Bear and a single CE4 that I picked up in Cali and I'm starting to stress that I'll run out of delivery systems before my vape mail gets here... I'm almost out of my fave liquid (peanut butter cookie) and I feel a bit like a fiend pulling out my old 901 pen-styles and filling an old washed out carto with that just to get my fix...

Does anyone else do this?

I suppose I could run out to the B&M and pick up a box of cartos but they're sooo expensive..

My Vivi Novas are in Rochester right now so hopefully they'll be here today, tomorrow at the latest but still no ETA on my liquids *cry*... I'm kinda over the flavors I have now (aside from the peanut butter) and I feel stressed like I did when I was down to my last two or three smokes and had no way to get to the store...

If this happens to anyone else (please tell me I'm not the only one) what do you do?

I called my vendor on the phone and asked him how much of my every day eliquid they could sell me at one time and I got a very big bottle in the mail Monday Maybe get larger quantities? I didn't know they would sell larger ones that were not listed on the website but seems if you speak to them or send them a message they may be willing to also make a larger batch for you

I'm a collector, so I don't need to stress... I've got tons of backup in the form of juices I didn't like soooo much and clearomizers that I never use. Next time you order, just by too much of what you need, and you'll be fine - unless you let yourself get too low again...

That's most likely what I'll end up doing LOL

Its much better to have the problem of what to use today verses not having something to use today.

 

[Absintheur]

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday...

I do understand the feeling, when I drop below 60ml of my everyday juice I get itchy. And when it comes to cartos and attys I use Ikenvape and they are often out of stock so when they do have them I place big orders. I have tons of back ups, RBAs, etc but I hate the thought of running low on anything.

 

[onry]

yup im there right now trying to figure out how to place an order for more juice
and making sure i still have enough for the "necessities" im bout out of fruit flavors and
may have to start vaping on the nasty tobacco flavors i dont like lol

Nope you are not alone, I would guess a lot of us have been there at one time or another. I am guilty of paying 20+ dollars for overnight shipping in emergencys. You will soon get the hang of how fast you are going to go through supplies.

2 kr808s, 2 backup clearos, 1 eroll PCC, 3 eroll batts, a pack of backup atties and some spare carts, an ego mini and a couple stardusts. I think ive spent maybe 150 on devices/tanks/etc since i started 4 months ago. I have a juice ordering problem so, no big issue with running out there either lol

I just went through the same thing when my suitcase was delayed for eleven hours by the airlines and all I had with me was two stardusts and a couple of twists--no bottle to refill them. Just knowing you are limited makes you want to vape like crazy. Once my stuff arrived, I was at peace and hardly vaped at all before going to sleep. The peace of mind of knowing I COULD vape was more important than actually vaping. That's how my crazy mind works.

I have collected drawers of delivery systems, batteries, and juice over the last eight months and I was still caught in a situation where I didn't have what I needed. Back up, back up, back up.

 

[young gotti]

this used to happen to me when i smoked...i wouldn't go to work without a full pack even though i only smoked 2 or 3 at work

similar things are happening with vaping, i must have back ups...i have a pack of carto's and once i open one of them and only have 4 left i'll order two more boxes...before i ever vaped i ordered 60ml of liquid because i didn't want to run out but also because i had no idea how much liquid someone uses

if you have the income, it's good to have things backed up just in case

 

[donnah]

Mmmm. Peanut butter and cookie ... Thanks for the idea! (hope you get your stuff in time)

 

[JUDGMENT AFFIRMED]

Don't need to buy in 2013, no matter how tempting it is.
Its good to be prepared and its usually cheaper that way. Never know what will happen.

Don't worry about it, and don't feel guilty if you run out of juice and need to buy a pack of logs to tide you over. I did the same thing starting up, and the day I got my shipment, I started vaping again and so I have two packs of logs just sitting on the shelf unused. No need to guilt yourself.

 

[klynnn]

I always buy in bulk and rarely pay shipping charges. If I don't have a 6mos supply on hand I freak out.

I don't think it'll go THAT far for me.. We've been smoke free since August and plan to keep it that way... (although I've had these weird dreams about buying some and then I wake up feeling guilty like I actually did it LOL) Like I said I could always run up to the B&M and pick up some cartos which may actually happen tonight although I'm hoping my novas come in tomorrow and then I'll be good

I read your thread about that! I'm glad to hear you got your stuff and everything was safe

 

[tracilynnie]

...and it seems the carto on the Gummy Bear is burnt so now I have my CE4... Wish me luck!

Oh, yikes! I'm getting stressed just reading about your situation. Fingers crossed for the CE4 to hang in there until your delivery arrives.

 

[tracilynnie]

Mail comes pretty early here so I only have to make it until about noon tomorrow.. one CE4 should be good.. I'll leave it up to my fiance when he gets home to determine, based on my mood, if we should go to the store or not LOL
