Hi All, Im new to this site, joined over the weekend. Name is Richard and i come from the UK.
I just wanted to see how many of you guys and gals here are hooked on vaping. Over the 4 years ive been vaping, i have aquired approx 85 different mods and approx 110 different tanks, RBAs and RTAs etc.
It has become rather an obsession with me ( i dont think so but my better half does).
Im always looking out for the new mod and tank to come out.
Hopefully im not the only one lol.

To me it's a hobby with several aspects. The electronic toys, the coils in the RDA sometimes, the myriad of flavors which I'll never own all of, the math and chemistry, the "culinary" part - making flavors you and others like, the strategy of the right percentages, the learning from failures. Noting but strategy!

Smoking was an obsessive habit. Vaping was the cure.

I never wanted to stop smoking, but vaping allowed me to continue the motions without all the dangers and poisons of tobacco.

I never intend to quit vaping. Vaping for me is a way to enjoy the actions of smoking without the health related dangers. 8 years later there's no obvious health hazard. I'm hoping that it stays that way.

    Definitely agree Todd Geer, there are lots of aspects to keep you interested. I really enjoy the making of the coils and mixing of the juices, so much so I've been working on doing a website here in the UK and my main focus is doing the calculators for E Juice mixing, coil wrapping, Nicotine calculators, ohms law and power checkers etc.

    My obsession isn't so much vaping as it is making sure I'm never forced back to cigarettes. If that requires stockpiling, so be it.

    From a point of view of professional psicology, a collector is fulfilling a compulsion.

    This compulsion is born from an underlying fear, which hasn't surfaced at conscious level.

    Collecting items which counteract on that fear, maintain a satisfying inner balance.

    As a quick example, if you have a fear of dark or you can't bear murky situations, you could be collecting flashlights; if you are a control freak or a narcissist you may be collecting vape mods; and so on.

    Please note I said "may" because there isn't always a psychological underlying motive, quite often a collector just needs a pasttime, an escape from the daily routine. It is up to you to establish if you have a weakness, or you just like to play with vape mods, as I like to do.

    A quick test: next time you want to buy a mod, just don't.
    If you have a weakness, over the coming days you will feel delusional, as you were robbed. If you are normal, you will quickly forget it, and may be buy a newer and better mod some time later.

    Hope this helps,
