What does everyone do with their "old" gear?

[Junquemail Contessa]

I gave two of my gently loved twists to my dad and one to a friend when I upgraded. Of course, there is the Emergency Assistance thread on here that may accept gently loved equipment to help out fellow vapers going through a difficult financial time.

Pay it forward. There's a forum for that.

Pay It Forward - PIF

You can donate, exchange, do all kinds of things and help vapers in need.

try to get other people to start vaping

Always keep it; even old o-rings and coils. You never know when you might want to salvage something. It also helps loaning old kits out to friends who you want to help quit smoking if they're a bit too skeptical to want to drop some money on a starter kit that "might" work.

I always PIF...either here on ECF or in real life

I'm glad I kept my old stuff. After trying all sorts of carts/atty's, tanks and batteries, I've found myself preferring one of the first setups... a simple bottom-coil evod type tank, and a standard eGo type battery. I'm passing on the new stuff and keeping the old ;o)

I'm planning on PIF come xmas time, going on a trip to Germany ... my sis and both my brothers are smokers, their spouses and children too....so I'm gonna order a bunch of starters and some good juices and take them with me to hand out as xmas presents!!! I'm only 3 month in...so not much old gear laying around

There is no such thing as broken or old gear. It's mod parts or back-up.

I started with V2 Cigs (cartos than with Halo mini tanks) then went on to a Halo Triton VV and now I'm using an iTaste MVP 2.0

I still hold on to my V2 batteries and Halo Mini Tanks to bring with me to stealth vape (movie theaters, long bus rides). But I rarely use them. I just gave away a battery to my sister who wanted to try vaping.

Same thing with juices, I give away flavors that I know I won't vape to people who I think will like them.

My wife and I started vaping with the following:
an Ego twist each with various carto tanks
Then we went to an Evic each using carto tanks
I then went with the K100 with RBA's
Then I picked up a Chi You clone.

So I gave my Ego twist to my wife's BFF. and the other Ego went to my cousin along with the majority of my tanks.
My wife uses both Evics, one as a backup. And she also uses my K100.
I use just the Clone and carry 4 18350 batteries and an 18490. With 3 RBAs.

I was keeping it, and tried with some to get someone else vaping (still trying).
With the rest, I got LUCKY here - was reading a thread about 510 batteries, and mentioned how I started on them, loved them, still had them but they were sitting, and MET someone who had just gotten a VAMO, but preferred her 510's.
So we swapped!
She got a bunch of like-new 510's, with a PCC, and a wall charger, and some fresh cartos...
I got a like-new VAMO, and top-notch batteries.
A win-win.


So - keep it, swap it, sell it, pass it along...all viable options!

Complete it again... Have more extra parts.. build another one..

It's good to have extra gear for back-up. I usually keep my gear aside until I find someone who needs it and could put it to good use. That someone always come around.
