P...y, I hit $600 in my first 2 weeks
I bought nothing today and nothing I ordered came in the mail.
I think I may have killed my 3 day old Kayfun by losing the insulator for the positive screw. So I will be down to only one. Have to get something to replace it.
I like to take a walk most days and the local store is only a few blocks away. I hope they go out of business to save me money.![]()
I've gone sort of crazy over the last few weeks. After happily vaping an eVic for over a year and dabbling in mechs, I finally broke down and got a Hana Mini V3 this week--SWEET little mod...
And about 2 weeks ago I got a Kayfun Lite+. And about a month ago, I bought my second AMP tank.
And yesterday, I got an IGO W5 with a Crest cap at the local B&M.
And last week I also bought 3 Trippy Tips...
My bank account hates me, but my level of vape enjoyment has jumped exponentially. I'm not a cloud chaser, and a relatively low-watt vaper, but the KFL+ on the Hana running at about 14.1w with a 2om micro-coil on cotton is an astoundingly good vape--decent vapor, outstanding flavor, and the battery is good for several hours at the higher resistance. (I built a 1ohm dual micro-coil setup on the IGO yesterday, and totally drained the Hana in about 2 hours though...)
I was always skeptical about the high-end, higher-priced stuff, but if you can get it used (like on the ECF classies) at a discount, this high-end gear is worth every penny. Would I pay retail for mos of this gear? Probably not. But at a "pre-owned" discount, it's only a little more than an eVic and a clone atty, and the performance is miles above.
I wouldn't even be spending what I did on used gear, but I recently came into a small, unexpected inheritance, and I have a little extra money to play with, so I figured I'd put some of it toward taking my vaping experience to the "next level", and I'm glad I did.
And BTW, all the new gear I've recently purchased was "genuine". I'm not a big fan of clones (as an artist and craftsman myself, I'm a big believer in intellectual property, and supporting the people who actually CREATE and INNOVATE), and I'm happy to pay a little extra to people like Hana and Cisco for their original, well-crafted, and high-performance products. We MUST support the innovators, so that Vaping will continue to evolve, progress, and grow!...
got a bottle of peppermint essential oil to spruce up some menthol/mint blends I make
I feel like I'm buying too much at a B&M at least 3-4x a week. Today I bought the Hcigar Black Copper Stingray clone, Cap It All Vapes Halo AFC Cap, Black Delrin Drip Tip, and a 19.5 ml bottle of pear custard e juice. Puts me over $500 in about 3 weeks.
Today I bought 2 18350 purple efest batteries, 1 18650 purple efest battery, a nitecore i4 charger, a sovemesto KFL, some kanthol, cotton balls, 5 coils for my 30bs, stingray drip tip,a rg400 glassomizer, 4 10 ml bottled of juice from a local online only shop, and tried to get a copper nemmy. But ran out of money for that one lol. So ill have to wait till next check (pretty hefty order for having a newborn I must say)
You're doing good. I spent almost that in the last two days. I pre-ordered the Slo'Jo by Celtic Mods $199 yesterday then today I went out to one of the many B&M's in my area and purchased a Veritas RDA $120, 3 30ml bottles of eliq. $65 and a mod Sock $20. When it becomes a hobby and shineytitus sets in it can put a dent in your pocket.
Vape On...
I live in the mid-Georgia boonies, so I've never even seen a B&M vape shop in real life. They're all just urban legends to me.(J/K)
But today I ordered two tanks for my eVic-S and a big bottle of my ADV...
-- SmokTech DCT w/ five DCT 510 1.5Ω cartos (from MVS. I hope I don't regret not buying the Boge F16 two-hole cartos for it. I'll order 'em if I end up outrunning the stock single-hole ones.)
-- Kanger ProTank 3 (on sale for $10 at VapeRev!)
-- MBV Black Ice 236mL 50/50 18mg +1FS
So far I'm happy with my 1.8Ω Kanger T2's for my SLB eGo v3 Mega battery, so I haven't felt the need to change any part of that combination. And it's so nice to have a light, pocket-able, pass-through device that can hold two days worth of charge. I've been really thrilled with it.
