Two week record ! Feeling Quite Frugal !

[Andy Thatcher]

Not certain I can admit to this on these hallowed boards but I have just passed a milestone of my stuttering vaping career.

It certainly signifies quite how over the top I went when I started lol

I am entering week three of not having bought a thing. Nothing, nada, nix, not a carto, atty, mod, droplet of juice, battery, mod and any other vaping anything.

Apart from using juice all that I have thrown away in that time in a carto that died on me after 8 days use so don't feel so bad about that.

Still have 20ml of House, Hype. 15ml of Gorilla Juice, 130ml of Bounty Hunter and about 40 of ECB Mango that I quite like and a load of others that are ok to acceptable to run through tanks so no real rush to pick up any for quite a while. Running out of Bobas is putting the venture at risk but can survive. Add to that 20 Resurrectors, 25 Boges and 4 or 5 atty's stashed.

Was going to bite the bullet and buy a 357 and a couple of Cisco 306's this weekend but Avid Vaper decided to close shop so that has been put on hold.

Would love to say it was planned but nope after the crash course in retail therapy known as stopping smoking and starting vaping just a plain realisation that I am good to go. Now there has been an Orion that HuffelPuff keeps tempting me with in the Classifieds along with a variable voltage Grip along with Reo's but those are more wants than needs.

So those that recently started, there seems to be a lot of us, just to let you know there does seem to be an end.

At present I guess I might just get to a month. Which would be a pleasant surprise for my bank account !

Congrats!! I wish I could say the same....

 

[BuGlen]

Nice! After the vape-mail I'm getting this week, I should be all set for a few weeks as well.

BTW: The ECB Mango is extra good if you mix in a drop or two of ECB Pineapple.

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Still looking for that drop dead lusciously thick mango flavour, Tried double the ECB flavour and didn't do that much for me so went back to standard.

That was bad, please no suggestions lol

Is that a dog??? What kind is it? Looks like one of the friendly creatures from "where the wild things are"

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Newfoundland.

Friendly thing at least.

 

[ChinMullet]

It's like an addiction within an addiction.

I was about two weeks from breaking even, then yesterday got bored and went shopping on some of our sponsors' sites. I haven't yet added up the amount of time that added to break even.

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Never came.close lol

Still at least 6 months away even spending nothing. Will her there eventually I guess.

 

[blkhwk07]

Maybe when I get close to the 2 month mark I can slow down.But to much stuff I think I need (want to try).And I don't have a provari YET. Plus it's my wife and me vaping,so I can spend twice as much!Lol

 

[Andy Thatcher]

That is the upside of the total in my signature. I have bought quote a lot for the wife that is added.

She took an initial interest but that has died.

ProVari Mini is nominally hers for example.

 

[Butters78]

I'm content with what I have with the Provari and Reo for now. Just two more mods to buy later on.. a buzz pro and woodvill VV and I'll be in a happy place. Once I use up my juice I'm going to start DIY juice making. The savings are substantial.

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Love the VMod and so the VV Reo holds an attraction. Not certain about the wood thing as a day in day out tool but appreciate them as objects.

But have to say so do Genesis atty's.

 

[Iffy]

BE FOREWARNED:

Once you find your optimum PV set up and wipe out dat ol' cig expense... ya get DIY fever!

Andy, kudos on the personal record!

 

[tinajfreeman]

My goal is not to buy ANYTHING for the rest of April. I have plenty. But I am a vapaholic.

 

[nansc]

I have gone for a week,well almost a week but I have a list in front of my keyboard.

 

[NaturesEncore]

I'm still saving up for my big mods spending spree. I caught the DIY bug early on, so I'm set in the juice department. I still spend $20 or so, here and there, sampling vendor's juices, though. It's been a fun journey so far, and I only see it getting better.

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Not even tried the DIY thing yet.

But then again I didn't go into this as a cost saving exercise that will be a side benefit that just happens in time. That said I never expected to spend quite as much as I have.

Here is the odd thing there is nothing I regret buying as it was all a part of the learning curve we all have to go through. Like atty's, not really fond of top feeding CE clearo's, like Bounty Hunter not fond at all of Hummingbird Nectar etc....

 

[erictho]

congrats to the op! i'm hoping to set my two month record of buying nothing new, without threatening to deplete my stash too much. i came close a couple of times, but paranoia at being short of either liquid or cartos prevailed.
for me, this is an awesome time to be all stocked up. my cat threatened illness, which set me backk $250. ;>.<

 

[Bradder]

Don't worry, Andy. Hang in there- it will pass

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Well done on 2 months !

I hope to be able to get to that point eventually.

Why am I finding myself refreshing the Avid Vaper site ? Suspect that I am not going to reach week three as I find I want to try a HH357.
