OMG, I guess I'm really ANCIENT!!!!! They were $.35 a pack when I started
$.35 a pack was probably what they were when I said that, I had started a little before then.

now see it was over than a blow hard come in to run his mouth again aren't you the same one that riped apart the lt 1.5 saying the voltages are all wrong when you where the dumb ... using a volt meeter that doesn't work on them because of diff system in them
I'd say really...
To me, "back in the day" means a really long time ago when prices were really cheap compared to today... Of course for me, that means a pack of Marlboro's were around .50 a pack.... a gallon of gasoline was somewhere between .25-.30 cents a gallon...
Currently that same pack of Marlboro's is about $5 bucks here and the gas, starts somewhere close to $3.50 ( recently down from around $3.75 )
SO YES.... REALLY!!!!![]()
Oh, my... Good old days. I feel like an old fogey-ess. LOL When I started smoking, a pack of Mores (yes, I stared with those stinky cigar-smelling thingies) was something slightly over 2 bucks. Honestly don't remember what the gas was back then - I didn't drive until I turned 25. This was 1978, and I was 17. My girlfriend, who smoked like a chimney already at that age, talked me into it, and seeing how I had just come to this country from Russia, and was depressed out of my wits by my introduction into the wonderful world of the senior year in Teaneck High, NJ, I succumbed just for the hell of it. The worst decision in my life. The second worst was marrying a weak-willed amoral doink. Truly, judgement is often lacking at that age.
Now a pack of premium cigarettes (I smoked Capris before I stared vaping - still have one or two every two weeks or so) costs 11 bucks around here, which was *the* reason I quit smoking. I honestly gave up on my health by now. LOL
Not sure how well the money-saving thing turned out. I'm afraid to count all the cash I spend on vaping stuff. When GV calculated how much everyone spent for their discount categories, I almost fainted. But, wth, vaping is a lot more *fun* than smoking, and smells a lot better. One of the best things about it is that my house doesn't smell like stale smoke, and my dog doesn't have asthma attacks any more.
P.S.: Oh, and my dog, in addition to breathing better, also *smells* better. I am one of those strange people to whom the smell of a clean and healthy dog is actually pleasant. But doggie smell with stale smoke mixed it (fur traps smells like you wouldn't believe)? Not so much. My dog (a German Shepherd) sleeps with her .... on a pillow right next to my head. It was like sleeping with my nose into an ashtray.
Remember the Green Lucky Strikes? $.10 a Pack
I'm 70, and can remember running to the corner store in Baltimore to buy them for my Mom. Didn't show an ID either. LOL

Hmm guessing that also puts you back in the 45 and 78RPM days. Doubt many here even know what that's in reference to.

For clarification's sake...
I am a happy, long time GotVapes customer, even though I am rather unhappy with my Vivi Nova purchase. A lot of the fighting over this thing is quite un-needed and unnecessary. The stupid thing costs what we would have paid for three packs of analogs back in the day. Not a big purchase and not a big hit to take when it doesn't work as advertised. Keep it in perspective!
I still stand by what I said about product testing being done prior to the hype being started.
I sure hope none of the nay-saying around here was aimed my way for stating my rather invaluable opinion on the subject. If it was, you can get over it. Preferably sooner than later.
That said, I appreciate the fact that GotVapes is one of the primary places I look for new gear. You guys are the cutting edge. I suppose along with that comes the previously mentioned hype without proper analysis. I can totally dig that! Thanks for doing what you do guys!!
since we've already established I'm ANCIENT, yeah, had a whole stack of 45sHated it when I couldn't buy singles anymore.
Anybody tried using the metal tubes with their vivi nova yet? I got one so I could vape cinnamon, just haven't got the juice yet.
It also appears that Vision has applied the knowledge gained with the Vivi to the ego Clearomizer.

Oops! Okay, you may slap me up the side of the head.
