Mornin Cheeky (and everyone!) Wow, I thought I had it bad!!! I actually have NO packages coming this week.. (what???) But I have the itch bad,,,, it started last night at work.. Truly, I have enough juice to last me a good long while, but some are just kind of... ehhhh. Good in a pinch, I guess. I really must order some cartos,, all I have left are ones I've cleaned a couple times and I think they're on their last legs.. yes, I'm a vapaholic too Now my problem is.. I have the Elite808, which I still use sometimes. But I really love my kgo (510) so I gotta order cartos of both variety.. maybe I'll just get a 510-808 adapter instead. Cheeky,, wondering if you got your vapedudes stuff yet, and how you like them?? There's just so many juice vendors to choose from!!! Guess I better go check out the deals thread and see who's got good coupon codes out there.. and since it seems to be summer up here in extreme northern NY (going to be 80 today!) I'm gonna break out the grill for some nice marinated chicken for dinner.. have a great day everyone!!

Hi Luvinit - you were my inspiration - a few weeks ago, you were ordering left & right, and I thought, wow... that chick is a vapaholic! Then the bug bit me, and here we are

The VapeDudes order arrived today - I've found a few I love, and the rest are starting the steeping process
Love: Strawberry Fields - so good it made the boyfriend smile on his first puff... I think I'll have to order a bigger bottle of it, or risk him stealing & hiding the bottle from me so that he can vape it!
The Blueberry pie is pretty delish, the Vanilla mint is super minty & breath freshening (in a good way), the Butterynipple reminds me of a butterscotch disc candy more than the shot, but I like it. I am finding that the flavors seem better dripped directly onto the atty - once they hit a carto, they seem to be a bit muted & difficult to taste, but I'm hoping that changes over time.
I did try filling one of my new smokeymizers with strawberry fields & the bleeping thing leaked EVERY SINGLE DROP!!!! I'm not pleased.

Try deejstuff.com - there is a deal going on right now that if you find the FireKitty & order that flavor, every bottle you order (up to 12) will be doubled - promo runs thru the end of March, and the kitty moves regularly, so you have to get your order completed before it moves. I'm waiting for 6 bottles from him, and if I'm as happy as his fans, I'll be placing a bigger order before the end of the month!

What part of NY are you in? My boyfriend grew up in Buffalo, and the majority of his family is still there - we're hoping to take a trip up there this summer if my back is up for it

i tend to place orders in waves. i wont place any orders for a week or two, then BAM i place 4 orders with 4 different vendors. i feverishly check tracking numbers and monitor their progress, making wagers with mysefl for which packages will arrive first.

my name is Kemosabe and im a vape-a-holic

Hi Kemosabe! You've come to the right place - we might not stop you from ordering more, but we will probably inspire you to place orders with different vendors, if only to take advantage of the great deals...

I just placed a large order from Health Cabin that I hope will keep my ordering at bay for a bit. I ordered enough cartos to last 5-6 months. I will still have to order juices every couple of weeks. I have a couple juices that I like alot, but nothing that I LOVE! Closing in on 3 months and I am becoming less obsessive about all things vape related. The first 30-45 days of vaping I was definately a vape-a-holic. I think this is why so many can be successful with vaping, because it gives our obsessive personalities something to obsess over besides "I WANT A CIGARETTE!!!!!"

We can now obsess over devices, voltage, carts, cartos, juices, juices, juices, juices, juices, drip tips and even stalking the mailman has becoming a twisted hobby for some. Good luck to all.

Hi Angie!
You're so right! Vaping really does satisfy all of the obsessive urges of smoking - I'm always on the hunt for a great deal, or awesome something to try - it really does keep my mind off of cigarettes, and I don't miss them at all (I always missed them before, even on the patch, I didn't want a cigarette, but I still thought of them with longing from time to time)

There is nothing wrong with a bit of mailman stalking...I can see our community mailbox from my balcony... the mailman has finally stopped jumping every time I call down to him & ask if he has any presents for me - though I do scare the beejeebers out of substitute mailmen, and when I walk down to the mailbox, my 80lb dog scares everyone (he's a big baby & just wants his belly rubbed).

You know whats bad.I am all stocked up for abou a year and I still am haunting all the e cig sites...When is the first meeting?

Hi Nansc! Meetings are held daily, but support can be obtained by posting on this thread at any time We don't currently have any recovering vapaholics that I'm aware of, but maybe a vendor will become our sponsor (wouldn't that be fun? Extra discounts for vapaholics would be dangerous, but they'd get a ton of business!)

Hi, I'm dlsw, and I'm a vapaholic... I received two packages today with a new battery, a SD keyring, 2 bottles of juices, and and a drip tip. I have lost control. I also just placed an order for a lanyard from the bag lady and 3 bottles of BWB juice. Searching and shopping for supplies is half the fun. (Well, that and being on this forum!)

Hi dlsw!
How is the SD keyring? I've had my eye on one for a while now, but have managed to restrain myself since I have plenty of portable PVs (the mistic is fantastic in terms of portability & battery life).

You're right that the search is half the fun, tied with the forum, of course! I love the hunt for a great deal, though I sometimes find myself overwhelmed by the sheer volume & number of options!

Hi, I am a vapaholic named Dan, I spend more time here researching new stuff and ordering things than i do spend time with my family, I have even gone as far as buying a soldering station so i can build pv's!!! Help I am powerless over Vaping!

Hi Dan!
Oooooooh! Soldering station!!! I asked my boyfriend if he had a soldering iron the other day...when he said no, I started pricing them lol

Hi. My name is Tina and I am a Vapaholic. I did part with all my old 510's, but have 6 eGo's in various styles that I love...I have at least 60 bottles of juice (stopped counting)....yet this week, I heard so much raving about Ms T's Bakery I was literally forced to order 20 more.

You know, to try it out. I really had no choice, right?

Hi Tina!
You're a girl after my own heart! I received 15 bottles of juice today (to go with the 20+ I already had), and am expecting another 20ish in the next few days - total of 410ml ordered this week alone lol

Step One: We admitted we were powerless over mods - that our wives had become unmanageable.

--Vapers Anonymous

Hi Jimmy!
No wife here, but I'm sure my boyfriend has decided that I'm unmanageable too Haven't started on the mods yet - heaven help my bank account when I do!

And I'm the token meeting participant that's in denial... I am NOT a vapaholic.

It's okay Mud Stuffin - you can be our token "healthy" vaper - not sure we can give you sponsor status though

OK.. I had to catch up to you guys.. got some carto's coming from CCV. Also some juice from ECBlends.. and just now some more juice and a couple new atty's from Prime Vaping.. and I'm thinking about selling my Elite's and getting another 510 set up.. maybe a different color kgo?? Too hard to keep supplies for two different threads around. But the National Vaping Day deals are too good to pass up!

Luvinit - Tell me about this Elite.... I've managed to avoid the National Vaping Day deals so far, but I feel my resolve slipping more & more every minute!

I'm not a vapaholic I'm a addict (hence the name) there needs to be a clinic for people like me but where is a substitute for vaping?..I'm always researching and buying new stuff and I think I have enough juice to take me through the FDA armaggedon when it gets here.

Hi Vape- Addict:
There is no substitute for vaping, and I don't see myself giving it up anytime soon!

Doesn't the FDA have something better to do? Like, I dunno... stop approving pink slime meat for school lunches, or do some actual research on genetically modified foods? bleh.

 

[CheekyMonkey]

I have an answer for that!... but it costs more money.

Seriously, I got a VapeCaddy and a VapeStation from Vape Logic. The caddy sits next to my computer and holds my ego-batteries and a bunch of misc cartos and drip tips and Q-tips and the like. The VapeStation holds all my juice, my syringes, my extra parts, etc, etc.

If you want something cheaper: tackle boxes.



It's a heavy Bailey's flavor with extra whiskey and a nice coffee undertone. My biggest problem with it is that it's a darker juice, so it ends up clogging cartos if I'm not careful.



As I've got some dark chocolate with chili in the freezer (the real thing, not a juice!), I'll have to check out the chocolate chili. Maybe it'll take away whatever it is about most juices that just doesn't taste chocolate.



I'll have to go search for that.

Heading over to Vape Logic now!

Turns out, I ordered pina colada with my original order from VapeDudes - you're right, it is pretty artificial tasting, but I'm hoping a bit of steeping helps it out! May have to try the Baileys!

Let me know what you think about the Chocolate Chili from ECBlends when you get it - I love the hint of chili in it, but you may want to order with XF or DXF (I've only tried the regular).

I will admit I am a mod ....., a juice junkie, and a tank addict. I have been vaping for 17 months. Broke up with my boyfriend of 17 (yes 17) years because he didn't want to quit smoking and he didn't understand my involvement in the vaping community and those "online" people. But I am much happier and healthier now with my new fiance who is a Vaper I met on twitter almost a year ago. But he is one of those "responsible vapers." He knows what he likes and what works for him and doesn't buy every new shiny thing that comes out. He has staged two juice interventions on me when my bottle count reached in the over 200 range. He didn't understand my lavatank obsession until I got him his own. Now he says I can have one for every mod....works for me! It is easy to get caught up in the hobby but eventually it will slow down. Even I have slowed down. I have a few juice vendors I stick with and don't feel the urge to load up on cheap juice to have "just in case" eventually you learn what you like and what works for you and don't feel the need to buy everything you see. If I could never make another purchase, I can say I am happy with my 39 mods, 8 lavatanks, and my three phiniacs. I don't need anything .....oohh SHINY.......what was I saying?

Charmed - I bow to you! 39mods, 8 lavatanks & 3 phiniacs is impressive and awe inspiring! Please post pictures!

Congrats on finding a a wonderful vaping fiance, and a responsible one at that!

I'm lucky that my boyfriend was never more than a social smoker, and has picked up vaping (0-6mg nic for him). He's always sampling juices with me, and encourages me because he HATED my pack + per day habit! He may change his tune when he sees everything I've ordered this week (and is very likely to hide my cards lol), but he's much happier with the vaping than he ever was with the smoking

 

[CheekyMonkey]

Okay, I think I got everyone, but if I missed a vapaholic, I apologize - blame it on the nic high from sampling 15 new flavors this afternoon

Happy vaping!
Cheeky

Hi. My name is Glen, and I'm a vapaholic. I just started vaping a month ago, and I've already gifted 2 starter kits to friends and family to get them hooked too. My taste buds are just starting to wake up after 30+ years of analogs, and each new e-juice order reinforces my new addiction that much more. My gateway device was a 901t which was replaced with my current eGo-C just recently, and I have another order of additional eGo parts and accessories on the way.

I'd like to believe I can control this on my own, but I'm already drooling over the thought of a Provari VV with a tank or clearomizer setup. I pray that you all will help me come to terms with my new found obsession and help me understand the Jesus still loves me despite my vaping weakness.

Can I get an AMEN!

BTW: I believe the purpose of most * anonymous groups is to kick the habit, but I'm guessing this one isn't going to work that way.

Hi Glen -

AMEN!

You're right, generally 12 step programs are designed to help kick a habit, but in this case I think it's more support & helping each other know we're not alone in our addictions. My current thought is: hey, it's better and still oddly cheaper than the stinkies!

I'm toying with 2 more orders tonight... trying to be strong, but the lure of World Vaping Day discounts may prove to be too much for me!

 

[luvinit]

Now listen.... I've already got two juice orders coming by the weekend and now I gotta go check out deejstuff???? Good grief!! Well,,,, I guess I didn't really need those new shoes, now did I?? Groceries? Who needs those? And the power company,, well, they can just wait. There's juice deals out there!!!

Cheeky.. the Elite is an 808, a little bigger than the V2 I started with. I get a good 4 or 5 hours out of it, but it just doesn't have the power my KGO does.. and even with an adapter, it's a big PITA to have to screw that little adapter on the cartos to be able to use them on the KGO.. I'm almost out of 808 cartos and since I want to get another KGO, I don't want to have to keep ordering two kinds of cartos. It's a great little starter kit for someone,, I'll probably list it over on the classy's this weekend. Probably do the same with my V2 kit as well. Hey,, more juice money!!

Just so y'all know.. there is NO controlling this disease.. once it grabs you, you're done for. If you're not trolling this forum, you're trolling all the vendors, looking for the best deal.. hell, I've had four and five windows open looking at STUFF! Hubby just shakes his head.. even when I'm too busy filling cartos to cook dinner, he's ok with it.. as long as I don't stink. Well, there is one juice he thinks smells like bathroom potpourri. And I try to not vape chocolate around him since he's diabetic and can't have it... the chocolate really drives him crazy!

Hey, have you ever tried mixing two different juices?? I have a raspberry that isn't great, and a pear that's just ok,,, I wonder what would happen if I mixed them?? Hmmmm, sounds like a project.. might just have to try that in the morning!
Gotta go... got some shoppin to do,,, can't let Cheeky get ahead of me!

 

[CheekyMonkey]

You better do some serious shopping then Luvinit, cuz I just pulled the trigger on order #9... another 360mls of juice heading my way.... I think that makes 770mls this week... I couldn't pass up the mount baker vaper deals - I think 30ml wound up being 5.50 per 30ml bottler... I ordered 12....Hope I like them, if not onto the classies they will go...

Hi again. My name is Cheeky & I am a juice & vapaholic...

I have mixed juices Luvinit - it's a great way to try turn something yucky into something delicious, or at least vapable! I'm seriously considering buying some flavorings & pg/vg in order to "fix" a few problem bottles. Do it in small batches - I usually test it by drips onto the atty ie: 3drops chocolate chili with 3 drops orange cream dxf (too much flavor - it's great in regular strength... apparently there can be too much of a good thing!). Once I find a ratio I like, I either mix it into a clean bottle or just eyeball the rations in a syringe, shake it up & insert directly into carto

 

[CheekyMonkey]

I just placed another order. I am weak & powerless against the pull of phenomenal juice and a great deal... deejstuff.com - CantaMelon = ah-mazing! Deej created a new flavor for me... CantaMelon Cheesecake..... mmmmmmm!!!!!

****Update*****
Hi...my name is K-man and I'm an even bigger Vapaholic than I thought!
Ordered some stuff from Health Cabin at the beginning of the week. Ordered Tanks too even though I don't own a VV mod cuz I figured one day I would. Then ordered an EVO the next day....and damn...just saw the stainless steel mini lavatube and ordered it too. Will it ever end?

 

[tinajfreeman]

Anyone pondering this Janty Neo?

hi K-man!
I think it will only end when they stop coming out with newer better options (which I hope is never), or we find that elusive sweet spot
Mini lava tube.... REO mini... So many options!

Sounds easy and good...I like easy and good bc I vape while I work at my computer.

But best only with PV and I find too much 100% PV gives me a sore throat. So maybe I can restrain myself.

You might be happier with a kGo or Ego-T - the kgo comes with 2-1100mah batteries http://www.hoosierecig.com/KGO-kit-1100mAh-by-SLB_p_10.html and the Ego-T I got came with 2-1000 mah batteries http://www.vapedudes.com/VapeDudes-Ego-T-Kit_c_9.html
If you order from vape dudes, you can use code VapeDudes for 40% off your order, and they include 3 10ml bottles of juice.

The kgo and Ego-T batteries will last longer without needing a charge, so you'll likely be happier longer term with one of those than you would be with the Janty. They're both 510 threaded, so they can use most attys, cartos and clearos on the market... Should be just as easy, and they're less expensive so you have more to spend on goodies like clearomizers and juice

I have a black Auto Neo and love it....
But have to admit that I got a couple of manual ego's to play around with the Stardust and am loving that too. The ease of filling the Stardust has me on it exclusively now. That is till my EVO and my mini stainless steel lavatube get here!
