Hi again
OK... I bought a pack of bottom insulators and a pack of top silicon caps which allow me to rebuild the "new upgraded" kanger dual coils. Currently I have 2 rebuilt ones in use, two spare old style and four spare new style (that will become old style with this hardware). I didn't buy anything else... looking at this, it seems to me quite rational since it will allow me to keep on rebuilding my coils and have 6 spare assemblies in case these get worn out or I need to prepare a few extra to take on a trip... right? I mean... I'm not trying to find excuses here am I?
This shopaholic stuff started a little like a joke but I'm starting to worry for real. There isn't a day I'm not buy something...
Regards
Tony
PS: Kinda glad I can't find any aerotank mini air valve v2 anywhere and the only places where I can find them (US and UK), won't ship to Portugal... I guess some stores did read my thread

I need to stop buying, as well. I just bought a backup for my backup, and good thing i did because both my regular and my backup broke within two days. I think i need a mod (see where this is going?)

The constant need to replace coils was the main reason I got into rebuilding them; it's not expensive to keep on hand some wire and wick, even 500 lbs or whatever it is of the rayon cellucotton, not compared to having to buy replacement coils all the time. Of course learning how to build coils opened up the rebuildables for me, so it's somewhat theoretical how much I'm actually "saving".
I really do want one of those Smok RSBTs; cheaper than even a clone kayfun, and it's pyrex, and it's top-fill, so it seems kinda obvious to me that I *really need* this piece of hardware! Andria
Hmmm... Never heard of it... Better than a Kayfun nano or mini clone? Interesting...
I have kanthal a1 0.2mm and 0.3mm what is what I need to make my dual and single coils.
I also have several different eko wools but I mostly use 3mm silica now.

Oh yeah, there was a thread here just a short while ago, a week or so, something like "smoktech makes a better kayfun?" or something like that; it refers to this -> SMOKTech RSBT - $24.99 | DFWvapor.com, The Best US E-Liquid Made! -- if you can find the thread, in the OP there's a slideshow about all the features on this thing, and it's just incredible -- from what I read in that thread, the coil/wick platform is somewhat like a taifun; it's for single coil, inner pyrex tank, 4ml, with outer stainless sleeve with view window, top-fill, sliding airflow control band, pyrex drip tip, and the thing is like $25... I am *all over that* tomorrow when my most recent payment on my credit card is posted!
I was doing the organic cotton wicks when I got my kayfuns, but I've discovered this rayon cellucotton stuff and it's just plain neat; so much easier to work with than cotton, and just as good if not better flavor. If you check out that humongous thread about rayon wicks, there are a lot of folks in there with humongous boxes that will PIF you some if you ask about it; very generous folks here at ECF!

I checked out a few reviews and it does seem nice. By the pictures, the wicking method looks rather similar to a protank 3 coil.
It's a pity that it isn't a mini. I'm a sucker for mini style attys.

well admitting it is the first step I hear 
same here, it's only slightly out of hand..Ok it's a lot out of hand...but it's started to taper off...just NO online shopping and visit to the vape shop once a week...Oh wait is that an ebay out bid notice blinking on my phone? dang
we hooked up a friend with starter stuff..and she's "I'll save sooo much not smoking" er...no you won't! *lol*

Actually we've saved enough to both a) spend all this money on vapegear, and b) for my husband to go back to his coin-collecting hobby. Neither of us is a spendthrift (well, he comes pretty close!) so it works out. Also we were able to go ahead and get an ADT system for our home; we'd been wanting one since we bought the house almost 3 yrs ago, but never could afford the initial investment, but ADT made us such an amazing deal for free installation, free equipment, free activation (the licenses you need from the fire dept and cops), that we didn't mind their rather exorbitant $42/mo monitoring fee for 3 yrs -- but we looked into getting one of these when we first moved in, and just didn't have any spare budget for the monitoring -- and now we do -- it can only be because I'm not setting money on fire and breathing it anymore!

I guess we all have some kind of desire of more stuff... call it bling, backups of backups, the new perfect vape, etc. The money most of us save by not smoking, covers these little indulgences and you're still saving.
Gotta find more EU stores to check out... I found that I get half the satisfaction just browsing them looking for something special and I've found some places with some material at very good prices. I don't need that stuff now but next time I do, I'll know where to go

I can sublet you some space in the storage unit i rented to hide my vape stuff from my wife.
LOL I am new and already I am buying more KT Evod batteries and all the colors of clearomizers - it really is catchy huh
When I quit tobacco last year, my wife said I could reallocate what I was spending on tobacco to vaping. I have taken it to heart and am spending around $300 a month. I literally have at least one of everything and last time I visited the local vape store, I had twice as much stuff as they did.
It definitely is a disease and....oops, gotta go now, an ebay auction for a cool RDA is closing in three minutes & I need to up my bid.

Glad I'm not the worst case around here
Yeah! I was spending about $176/mo on smokes, but I don't spend nearly that much on vape stuff; *maybe* $100/mo -- it seems only fair to me that my husband benefit too, since he was so generous for so many years to keep buying the stupid smokes for me without complaint, other than the occasional "it sure would be nice if you'd quit those things," even when they went up to such outrageous prices and his hours got cut during the economic melt-down. So he has gotten to resume his coin-collecting hobby.

I started on a buying frenzy a few days ago... ordered some nicotine and some flavors and a new blue driptip to replace the one my husband broke when he caused an avalanche on my heap.. er, desk. That stuff arrived today! Yesterday I ordered that Smok RSBT; today I ordered a white iTaste vv3; some unflavored WTA from WholeCigs; a dry leaf vaporizer from Hong Kong; and some plastic bottles from MadVapes since I'm going to be working on that DIY thing. This weekend after I help my mom clean out her GINORMOUS closet (for which she's going to pay me $35!), I'm going to order my first mech! A "Fallen Angel," which is a clone of the "EA Mod" a/k/a Electric Angel... and a kick for it.
Vaping is great, but I'm thinking the best thing about quitting smoking is having the money to buy all this neat stuff.

A dry leaf atomizer? Girl, what are you vaping anyway?
To be completely honest, I too was spending like 200 bucks a month for commercial cigs back in 2011 and changing to vaping eased the wallet quite a bit but with the market crash and all, those savings helped when my government started to tax me twice as much and adding to this also cut my wage by almost 10%.
Bottom line, those savings were, almost immediately, applied to cover the new hole in my wallet. I can't actually say I have felt what it means having extra 200 bucks per month.
Anyway, glad I'm away of the stinkers and I won't go back.

ECF doesn't allow us to discuss what I need that dry vaporizer for.
But my throat is no longer acclimated to smoke, soooooo.... We had already pretty much recuperated from the economic meltdown; buying the house was the biggest part of that, going from $650/mo rent to $450/mo mortgage pmt helped ENORMOUSLY, and shortly after that, my husband got his full-time 40 hrs back (from the 34.5 hrs a wk they had scaled everyone back to, in order not to lay anyone off), and then almost right away, got back his regular 7.5hrs/wk OT, and that REALLY helped. So we were doing ok, and then I switched from smoking to vaping, and that's made a big diff too. Me likeee!!!!

well in Portugal everything is like 3 years delayed... when the crash started around the world, I didn't felt anything, when it was rock bottom, I started to feel the hit so I guess that in about 3 years or so, things will get better... maybe...
Can't complain too much, many were hit much harder than myself and I used the crisis to buy a nice new flat at half the listed price so not all is that bad... I'm still from the time that when things go south, buy real estates... bad thing is that they started to tax that also heavily so now its actually not a good idea to own property. Oh well...
Hmm... a dry leaf atomizer... that must be nice without all that burned paper and mixed tobbaco I never felt for that stuff, don't know why.
