When I first started vaping, I used to do that all the time. Juice! The newest, latest, greatest carto/clearo/tank! That battery in RED! After the first year of vaping, I started figuring out what flavors and gear worked best for me, and I started tapering WAY down on my vape purchases. I was tired of spending a LOT of money on juice that tasted like yick, tired of spending money on gear that didn't live up to the hype.
After you get burned a few times, it's easier to just say "No" lol...
Other than the every-six-month battery order (time it up with Christmas and tax time!), I blow about 50-60 dollars a month on my vaping habit. Compared to my cigarette habit (7 x 31 = $217.00!!), I'm getting off easy. That flippin' smoker's HACK I had is gone too, so I'm ahead on all counts! I don't know how much you paid for that whopper order, but I'm betting it wasn't anywhere near 200 bucks! And even if it was, just don't buy anything a'tall next month, and you'll come out even!
