What does everyone do with their "old" gear?

New member here =)

Being new to the scene I have realized that there is an evolution of one's vaping (to my wife's and bank accounts shagrin). I started with Blue disposables, then bought a V2 808 kit and now have moved to a 510 eGo style with Kanger bottom feed tanks (love the protank mini 2).

Due to this I have tons of old "gear" in a box, I feel wastefull for not using it but I have no idea what top do with it...

What does everyone else do?

Pass along to friends who want to try it. Thants what I did, I started my father(73) out and now he has upgraded and passed it along to my sister in law!

Yes pass it along to friends, hold onto for backups. Or put it on display in Your personal vaping museum.

I gave my SI Volt mini 808's to my favorite waiter at IHOP for him and his son to try. Then, after I moved on to ego style and 510 I gave all my SI X2's batteries to my best friend.

Always good Karma to pay it forward.

Haha that's funny I do the same exact thing. Just gave my old Blu set to a friend and he already wants a tank. Aside from that I have seen a ton of vaping goods on Craigslist, could sell it there.

After reo I gave pro tank 2, evod, ego spinner and grants vanilla custard to a friend in return for a few beers. Just trying to keep him off
stinkies.

I keep it, I found an old 801 batt the other day, one of the first manual ones, pressed the button and end lit up. Started digging and found a new 801 atty still in the plastic, opened it up, dug some more and found a box of carts for it. Put some liquid in a cart, stuck it in the atty, screwed that to the batt and vaped it for about 30 minutes until the batt died. Now I can't find the charger.

Yah, thats what it is getting to....

I am having to make my own storage system to secure it all...will post later. Kinda OCD about that... :S

I am a bit of a hoarder, so at first I just kept on collecting and stored away my old stuff. Now I am over collecting stuff I wont use and have been either giving it away or selling it on the classifieds. I figure its better for someone to get some use out of it, rather than sitting on a shelf.

I am already eyeballing the ProVari's. bad time for me now though seeing Congress has given me a 2 week + forced unpaid vacation

I just dug out my old envy, for hands free while playing PlayStation

[FlamingoTutu]

I have some stuff that is sitting around as backup gear but I also have a friend that I know smokes and won't admit it. I hope to pass some of it on to her if she'd just fess up.

 

[seahawkin]

I have a magic drawer for the meh stuff, then a shoe box for the toys?

 

[FRIED_RICE]

i re-purpose them for spare parts ..and i bought a sauder gun and i've been having a good time

 

[Wigged Out Mom]

Give it to friends to encourage them to lay down the stinkies or do a great PIF on ECF like Favored did. A lot of newbs might like to have some of the stuff you have set to the wayside.

Just a thought....

 

[cdsaint66]

I've never had any trouble giving old gear away. I've recruited 3 solid converts and 2 part timers this way.

 

[bosun]

Gave my first starter set and a bunch of juice to my neighbor and his wife. He's had good luck staying away from the coffin nails! A win for me and a win for him!!!

 

[Satanis]

I give my old unwanted gear to the kids at work that can't afford a lot of there own.

 

[IMFire3605]

Pay it forward. Someone is really really interested in quitting, let them try it out using one of my old kits. Lord knows I got enough mods and tanks lying around here at any given moment, and I'm only into this full time going on 7 months, and even I've lost track of what I've had and used lol, not getting use, let someone that can benefit from it use it =)

I have had too much even for a large display and storage solution, so I have pif'd the lower end gear to friends, including Forum friends, and sold the higher end triple backups on Craigslist, which worked just fine, and sometimes for more than I paid originally. Quite surprising actually. Hard to beat helping others, which Forum members do all day long here.
