Time to thin the herd

[suprtrkr]

lol,, i feel weird. 1 mod/1 tank and 1 juice 24/7/365,,,,,, i do own 2 of 2 dif mods styles (4.5 picos & 2 mechs) + 1 pico squeeze ,,,2 main atty's griffin & avocados. (i think i have something like 5 or six dif non-tank attys for back up +1 corolla)

i dont count kanger products since i cant count on them to work,, i have about 4 i think

all of my vape mods/tanks fit in a 'small zippered' book like thing in my bug out backpack. i feel like i own too much

All of mine fit in a moving van with plenty of room to spare for non-essentials like the coffee pot and the alarm clock.

 

[oplholik]

I have a few juices I really like, but have never been able to vape just one or two flavors in a day. Always seemed to need a variety.

i had to change an oring yesterday,, so that meant opening up the stash,, it felt like christmas,, everything stays packed up. hurricane ike made us re-evaluate what we own/want. before Ike,,,i had a huge wardrobe,,,,45 levi 501's alone then several other brands of jeans,,,,,,,,,,,now i own about 30 items of clothing and am aiming to get it down to 10-15. i want my stuff to fit into 2 back packs. been konmari' the house over the past year or so.. our home is only 670sf,, we dont use about 1/3 of it. .. aiming to live on a boat eventually. (i will likely 'food seal' my mods and screws/orings at that time.)

i bought 3 new batteries and all of the flavors for next year last week.. $100 only thing i will have to buy is more pg+vg.

a couple of weeks ago i tossed a bunch of juice,, i gave up on trying to like them. never found anyone interested in trying them (i dont know many vapers,, and none of them are interested in diy) then i separated the 50+ flavors i have,, kept some i like even though i havent made anything with them,, and packaged up the rest.. maybe i will pif or trade them someday.

I just ran across this thread and realized I am a horder and need help! I have over 35 mods and just as many tanks! Before I saw this thread I spent two hours thinking about how I will ever use them all but not knowing which I could possibly let go of! I have given away 10 mods and sold two Reos and four Provaris lately and still have over 35 mods!
Not to mention 3 liters or more of 100mg nic which I will never use that is all bottled up in small bottles in the freezer.
I feel overwhelmed at times also and would also like to downsize but I just don't know how

i think it will work out over time for you,,,, you will help someone out,, or you will be able to sell some when you get into a bind. in the meantime ,,'de-hoard' another area in your life

Get married.

I regularly charge my husband's batteries and fill his tank for him so he doesn't have to worry about it and in the beginning of my husband vaping he would go to bed at night then in the morning he would wake up to a full tank and a fully charged battery.

Well, one morning early on I was on the phone with my son when my husband woke up, and my husband noticed his tank was full and his battery charged and said "the vape fairy has been here in the night again, because my tank is full and my battery charged"

I said yes, she was here while you slept. My son then piped up saying "I want a vape fairy! The vape fairy doesn't visit me!"

Hahaha.. now, my husband told him that he has to live in the hills if he wants a vape fairy, because fairies only live in these here hills, but I'm betting if you get married you could find you lucked into vape fairy too!

Hahaha

I am married. To a non smoker/non vaper so I’m on my own. Maybe a vape butler in lieu of a vape valet would be just the ticket. “Jeeves, could you see that the mini has a fresh battery and a full tank of keylime cookie? I’ll take it with me when I head out later. Thanks!”

My sentiment exactly!

I have 9 mods (with more stashed in the closet) and twice that many tanks (different flavors) in rotation. 5-6 of those I vape a lot. The rest I pick up from time to time for a change of pace. I choose my *flavors of the day* (those that I take when I leave the house) primarily based on which ones I pick up first in the morning.

Since I only use one style of tank (eGo One Mega), maintenance is easy and straight forward. Swap coils and rebuild in my spare time (what little of it I have).

Maybe when I get (even) older, I'll streamline things a little. As for now, I'm enjoying the variety.

 

[dobroeutro]

I have 4 mods in rotation, all single 18650's 75w variety and vape exclusively in TC. I have a tank on 1 for unflavored, 2 RTA's as daily drivers & an RDA for testing recipes and dripping in the evening. All have basically the same build, 24ga 3mm .3 - .35ohm single spaced SS316L coil @ 420 - 450F & 30w. I usually mix once or twice a month & have 6 standards I vape everyday. I usually have a couple of recipes I'm playing around with @ any given time & 20 or so I make occasionally just to mix things up. I've reduced my flavorings from 200 to about 60. Oh and I have 6L 100mg/ml nic in the freezer & 3 or 4 of everything in the stash... Simple enough for me...

I feel your pain. It can be overwhelming having too much gear. As I read your post and saw you had Reos and Provaris I wondered......maybe there is a Kabuki tank in your collection that you might want to get rid of (sell). I came to this thread for ideas for help and I thought of getting another tank! I need help. I just got the new Berserker Mtl tank only 2 days ago. What's wrong with me? Lol

I just signed up to get verified here on ECF the other day to sell some gear. I'm afraid when it goes through I might be buying more than selling!

I didn't glance at your location until you mentioned Ike... I'm from H-town too, albeit now up in the Metroplex, and I have lived in Seabrook-- excuse me! El Lago-- myself. I'm South side also, raised up on the Island and have spent many years living on a boat. You're headed in the right direction: you have no room to keep anything on a boat. Get it all down to what you think you need, then cut it in half. Twice. Then you'll be skinny enough you'll only have to cut it in half two or three more times to make room for you on the boat as well as your stuff.

Ike took our 4 bedroom home and 95% of our stuff,, over time we weeded out 95% of what was left. we moved more 'inland' to Seabrook,, love Seabrook (except the traffic/poorly designed highway) we bought a tiny condo,, with a perfect floorplan,,,,,the condo is huge to us,, course it helps that we dont fill it up with stuff El Lago is our backdoor neighborhood,, i walk it often.

Pack all but 10 away. Then in six months, switch out which ones you have out!

Awesome Kabuki is one of the unicorns I have never purchased
Dang, now I need to buy a Kabuki

 

[VapNMirrors]

I have two mods in use; really one that does it all and a backup to use when I'm servicing it. I've got a small collection of tanks and RTAs that get regular use, and a handful of RDAs for tasting. Usually have half dozen or so DIY juices of varying flavors with my EDV always in supply. My wife calls me a hoarder.

 

[jfcooley]

I'm going on a buying spree because of this thread.
I have only a Baby Beast, Big Baby Beast, Tesla Arrow, Limitless+, Gnome, and a Dead Rabbit with a Goon Clone arriving tomorrow.

I also have only a Revenge & Black Drag. Think I need a bottom feeder.

So I'm using you hoarders..ahem..collectors to convince my wife I am behind the curve and absolutely must catch up.

 

[DeAnna2112]

I dunno, i would say it's like a game you have played over and over. I love HO (hidden object) games but have played soo many of them it doesn't have the same wow factor as it did when i started out...always looking for that best next game that never measures up. It was all good and great when i started out, but after awhile it lost it's punch. I see vaping as no different, you gotta change things up a bit to stay fresh and interested.

I'm on the other side of H Town from you. I'm OCD when it comes to getting rid of stuff. I have an RV that I may eventually live in and I have already mentally packed it, so I'm good except for getting rid of some shoes and clothes. I constantly clean out the closet and sell stuff in my online thrift store, so I can easily live in a small space. I think I'll have more room than your boat though and I have plenty of overhead cabinets that will fit my vape gear

awesome plan! (i watch a lot of those videos too) in fact my next car will have to allow me to stretch out and sleep in it incase i need to........as for space on the boat,, i think 2 back packs (wardrobe and all personal assets) will fit nearly anywhere on it,, allowing the rest of the boat to hold 'boat stuff'

another reason i am aiming for 2 backpacks (or whatever can be called 'carry on') is because i want to be able to hop a plane to anywhere & know i have all i own/need for the most part. it also means i can go up into the woods by adding/keeping a winter jacket & gloves. i already own boots that will work as long as i am not hiking.

i do need to get a passport.

Sound plan. Hope it works for you.
