Definetly and firmly standing at 3.5.
I cant justify 100 bucks for a VV but just plunked down the change for an Joye 18650 Ego...Now I know it says its a mod but too me its just an Ego I dont have to throw out 50 bucks on replacement batteries.
SWMBO is eyeing the credit card bills and shaking her head cause I'm still trying every attie/cart/clearo/tank/juice on the market trying to find the perfect vape.....So, I think I'm gonna question the stages.
Stage 1 is where your waking up every day with sore lungs and a friend or coworker shows you a way to toss the analoges without Nic withdrawal. At this stage your trying to keep the Vape expenses in line with your smoking budget.
Stage 2 is when you've decided to replace the cigs with a PV and are willing to spend as much if not alittle more for the vapor as long as the nic is steady and you dont have to go back to choking on them smelly cancer sticks.Care is still taken with the credit card balances and budgets are still intact.
Stage 3 is when you've had or see coming an expensive hardware replacement and say "fark it, I'm going big this time." OR, the vapes your getting arent quite right.....Maybe your setup is alittle finicky or needs to be fiddled with too much. I found that I got nervous putting my vape kit in the trunk of the bike because I was afraid all of my cartos would leak out and I'd be without a vape till I got home! I spent extra money on 4.5ml carts just for long bike rides......At this point your still making decisions based or need and budget and the bills are still getting paid.
Stage 4 too me is Budget/bills/mortgage be damned, yoy go get a new credit card with a ten grand limit, wall off a portion of the garage or kick a kid out of a bedroom (the couch is comfortable right?) to make a lab/vape room.....Fill the room up with drawers and kits for mobile vaping.....Surrender the budget and abandon hope....At this point the mail person gets a restraining order agianst you.....the internet is no longer entertainment and is now a "fix" for new equipment and juices to try.
I'm still trying to remain married to my beautiful bride...the mother of our 2 GROWN KIDS..... I'm just looking for a second job as I see a GG or Zenus with rebuiblable attie in the not so distant future. I have explained this too the wife.....But if she really pisses me off or just decideds for whatever reason to leave me I may move into an extended stay, apply for any and all credit cards I can get and take the plunge.I guess I'll need a PO box!!!
IMHO....YMMV
