So as you all know, Vape Bash is coming up in Chicago.

Being a new vaper, and a Chi resident, I am PUMPED to go.

As time starts to pass and the dates get closer I'm starting to get frustrated because I KNOW I'm going to run into boatloads of cool things, but I don't want to spend TOO much money and I want to be productive with the money I do let myself spend.

So I would love some recommendations on things I should pick up, heres what I have currently...

-A ton of 510 cartos and a vision nano with a Blu PCC kit for public situations, not looking to expand this unless someone has a cool recommendation

-My only other battery/nice battery is an Ego-T 950 mAh... So I'm looking to get a variable voltage

-Decently small collection of juices with syringe accessories

-A couple plastic drip tips

-A few poly clearos

-One nice 5ml glass tank with a few cartomizer replacements

So as you can see my collection is small. Does anyone have any recommendations to expand but not waste money? I know I'll be picking up some juices for sure, but I want to try a new VV battery or maybe even a mod, and possibly a new juice delivery system or something...

Any recommendations accepted! Tell me what I should try to plan on picking up or just something cool to keep my eyes peeled for!

Your decently small collection will grow with numerous free small joose sample bottles that vendors will have available.

Be sure to enter all the door prize drawings! There's usually some GREAT vaping stuff to be won.

The drawings, I'm guessing it will be on a basis of buying raffle tickets?

And free juice sounds awesome, I wasn't really expecting freebies!

Talk to lots of other vapers and see what they are using. People enjoy showing off their equipment. Learn about as much as you can and get the name of what it is so when you come back here to read, you'll know what they are talking about. It'll save you money and time. Of course meet the vendors if they are at their tables.

Raffles, raffles, raffles....ejuice swag.....report back to us when you get back. Sounds like a good one. You can never have too many drip tips.

I'm deff going to stock up on some drip tips! want to try some glass ones.

I'll be posting a thread about my vape bash experience for sure. Are any of you guys going?

My raffle tip. Wrinkle, bend, or fold your entry ticket and flatten it back out before you drop it in the hat/box/bowl. It will separate from the others and increase your chance of getting picked.


LOL I love these "tips" but I'm really only talented on picking longshots in horse races.

Nevertheless, leave mine flat, but put a tiny 'bend' in each four corners, all going in opposite directions. :)

I think making a paper airplane out of one or two is a good idea too? ROTFL

HAVE FUN! I"M JEALOUS!

Raffle tickets at VapeBash are free. I believe you get 2 when you sign in. Last year's was my first vape meet. I had things that I really wanted (lavatanks, and a certain drip shield for my fiance). I got those things but it was stressful at times. the drip shield was first and as I stepped up to the Empire table to pick it out, Keith asked "what color?" assuming I wanted an Empire mod. Flustered, I blurted out "Blue." I then picked out the black and red drip shield for my guy and paid for it and an expensive mod that I love and cherish, but had no intentions of buying. :blink:

Relax, the best part of the meets is meeting people. Take your time and visit the vendors. Talk to people, ask questions, try new stuff. But most of all, just have fun. That is what you will remember...not what you bought. I also attended VapeStock and VaperCon last year and made it a point not to have any must haves on my list. No stress at all. I could just enjoy hanging out with my friends. :2c:

I am going on Friday, can't do Saturday due to a prior commitment.

Things I'm looking for are an RBA for my Provari and glass tanks and drip tips. I'm out of Ecto Plasma, too, so that's a must. Beyond that, I plan to be influenced by shiny things I didn't know I wanted.:p
