Vape progression

[teejuice]

Well that happened fast!Went from an eGo twist to a Provari and now a REOS! all within 2 months.I think I should be set for awhile.

I think I should recoup my $$$ spent though from stinkies not smoked!

Excellent choices. I see you've done your homework well.

I have always said, once you find the "right setup", subsequent costs need only be for replacement eliquid (and maybe replacement coils if you use those). You can easily save money by stop smoking and begin vaping. Just learn to control the hobbyist/enthusiast/collector aspect of vaping.

I tried a bottom feeding box mod and it wasn't for me. The mods that I've ended up with are a Provari and a Silver Bullet mech. I've used both for at least two years on a daily basis. I'm in a happy place in my vaping. I spent most of last year working in a vape shop, and never seen anything that would better suit my needs than my Bullet and Provari.

IMO, the Silver Bullet, Provari, and Reo have been the most durable and best made mods for a long, long time. It's no surprise that all three are made in the USA.

Myself about the same as Baditude - tried a few things early on - have not bought a device in 2.5 years (except one $20 clearance mech that I could not resist for stealth vaping). Now with DIYing and having all rebuildables with interchangeable coils and batts - my costs are less than the price of two packs of smokes a month...

I wish i could control the collector part...LOL

Don't get me wrong, the Provari carto tank/kayfun setup that I have is a real solid,bulletproof device that I will continue to enjoy.I am a tinkerer and like the idea of building my own coils and the REOS mod is a no frills machine that fills that niche.It's all good!

This has turned into quite the hobby. I find myself feeling more like Oliver Twist each day......... "More, please..."

If I could control myself I never would have started smoking or at least I would have been able to stop without help. I have a addictive personality and vaping has become an obsession lol

Here is your chance to nip in the ..... If you have something that works and works well close your browser now, dont come back for atleast 6 months. Otherwise your just going to waste money on crap that you will hardly use. If vaping is a means to an end to get your nic fix this is your best bet.

THIS!

There is too much opportunity to find shiny new things here. And don't get me started on the quest for e-juice.

I can't avoid it because I have to go in a BM because my 2 favorite juices and ADVs can only be purchased there. Other than those I only vape "premium" juices but their house juice max vg line is the best juices i've tried and I've tried a LOT. Even if I wear blinders I will still see stuff. And they just made a new Snickers flavor. They nailed it lol

You could try going into the shop and just buy the juice you need. You can take the same approach When you go to the supermarket you can just get what you need instead of going through the endless isles of junk and processed food.

Each to their own just trying to give you options, its your choice. You can waste thousands a year on stuff only you can use or something you hardly use or just buy what you need and spend the money on a holiday your kids can enjoy as well.

For a long time, i had shelves full of gear, i was halfway through the checkout process one night and it hit me. What am i really going to do with another mod. It will just sit or the others will just sit. I cant use them all, all at once.

I ended up selling off about 80% of my stash. Bunch of stuff left but cant sell clones here. Or not really worth a lot. And a few things i just wont get rid of.


I still like to window shop. And every once in a while i will pick something up that catches my eye or maybe it really is an improvement over something i use like the k4 over the klight i used for well over a year. Or the dripper that was a little closer to what i wanted.


But its easy to get caught up in this thinking maybe that tank will be a little better.
Just got to learn, i really am enjoying what i have why keep hunting for more.

I will buy stuff if its so cheap it doesnt make a difference just to play like the 5 dollar drippersmi picked up.

Ya know, how many sub tanks or 3 post drippers or kayfun style tanks do you really need if what you have is doing it for you.

I wont lie i go look at gear I would like to have almost every day. But i just look and think mmm maybe down the road.

I wish I would have figured it out as fast as you did! I started with cigalikes, then ego's followed by every cheap mod after. Eventually got a Provari, first great mod I owned, then I got to the Reo! For me, that was it! Never used anything since, no plans to. I say, you found it, believe me you won't do any better.

Vaping has become a hobby for me - the side benefit was that I quit smoking 14 months ago after a 25+ year habit.

I tend to get duplicates (or triplicates) of something if I really like it. However, I've started culling my collection by setting up a few folks who are interested in vaping. I thought I'd have hit "break-even" a few months ago, but I don't think I have. Not distressed about it - entertainment expense

 

[Ohm Gnome]

Well now I'm into temp control so I feel I'm doing better upgrades. I don't have kids and I'm single so I'm only hurting myself. If I had kids I think I'd be different

Vaping has become a hobby for me now, and considerably cheaper than other hobbies. For the 5 mods I am currently using now, they cost me less than half in total than I spent to purchase my last camera lens. And they cost less than what my wife just spent last month at Burberry....although I did just placed an order for a MVP 3.0 Pro. Do I need another mod...no, not really. But it looked so pretty in gold.

Although I think I am reaching the end of my wife's patience though.....when she saw the addition of the IPV4 on my desk she made the comment "how many do you need?". I knew better than countering with "how many pairs of shoes do you need".
