Who else is a serial hobbier?

[the_vape_nerd]

So I'm about to hit my 3 year vapeversary (is that even a word?). When I started in 2011 I went all nuts and got into all manner of products, tried everything under the sun. Then the rba craze hit this place and again I went all nuts into that aspect of vaping. Finally I began DIYing juice.

Eventually though, vaping in terms of a hobby became dull to me. I bought a few REOs and they just work so well and consistently that I never buy anything anymore and don't tinker except maybe to rebuild the reomizer coil or re-wick.

Anyway, I was wondering what nutty hobbies the rest of the community has. Here's a list of my many "ridiculous hobbies" as my wife would put it:

vaping
Classic wet shaving
Vegetable gardening
Home brewing beer
A short stint with golf (I took 16 strokes on my first hole, no lie)
Video Games
Running

I'm looking for something new. Something completely beyond ridiculous to see if I can't aggravate the wife even more. What would you suggest? Leather tanning? Black smithing? Square dance afficiando?

My list is way too long and I think it's funny, because I always called myself a serial hobbyist.

One nice thing about being a serial hobbyist is eventually you have so much STUFF that a lot of it gets used in the next hobby you pick up.

It's expensive though.

Paintball guns/gear
Scotty Cameron putters
Cigars
Sunglasses
Fly reels
Fly rods
Guns
Knives

Usually one hobby pays for the next...which is a good thing

 

[MorpheusPA]

Flower gardening
Organic lawn and garden care
Whipping the neighbor's butts with how good the lawn looks
Making electronics
Soap making (bar, detergent, and MP)

Video games (even us old people like the gory ones sometimes)
Reading
Photography (the simpler stuff)

Been thar, dun that! I have gone through many phases.

My current endeavor is mainly ...-sitting and beer guzzling. And they wonder why I'm getting fat. 8-o

I can relate. Not only does it get expensive, but it takes up A LOT of space. I acknowledge that I have (too) many hobbies, and I even enjoy all of them, but the personal enrichment that comes from so much voluntary experience is immeasurable. I won't go into detail but many of my interests are related to being a competitive athlete, artist/musician, botanist, homebrewer, chef, and an all around enthusiast for living. Other things are always coming into the mix though.

 

[Scootaloo]

Vaping for about a year

Making music (I spend a lot of time on that)

Vinyl collecting

Collecting Friendship Is Magic related stuff

Not a very long list....

 

[celticluvr]

Reading... over 800 books(physical) !,500+ (ebooks)
Gaming... Resident Evil, Silent Hill, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and so many more
Vaping... Getting ready to buy 4 MVP's!
Movies... I have an X-large tote filled with DVDs and 80 gigabytes of Digital movies on my PC
ECF... At least 50% of my day is spent on here

Wow... I need to get a life... NAH

 

[B2L]

Guilty as charged

The current and longest lasting are vaping (4 years) and aquariums (going on 40 years)

I'm a serial collector, I tend to obsess about completing sets of most anything.

 

[AveryW]

Mine would be vaping, fishing, cooking, and bottle collecting. I have far too many bottles, but i can't get enough, if only they were mech mods.

Oh this topic hits me hard. I love building things, not just regular things, is things. I was building balsa wood airplanes for a bit, even found an antique engine and made one fly.
I started making bows out of wood, even made one good enough to sell
Then it was paper models
Vaping is for sure a hobby, and it is one that I do often with my current and longest running hobby, reading.

This post was found in an ancient ruin, probably left by aliens.

 

[Jdbaker82]

[Kaiser Bob]

Also a serial hobbist. Aside from vaping my big ones were Paintball, Computers/Mobile Devices, Golf, Poker, Billiards, Gaming and Fishing. Looking back at that list I have to laugh at how many I'd associate with fat smokers.

 

[AquaJoe]

I definitely fit the bill as a serial hobbyist. Some cost way more than others. Thankfully, vaping has been offset from the money saved from not smoking!

Gun collecting/Gunsmith (building AR and AK's)
Knife Collecting
Flashlights
Fly Fishing/fishing
Hunting
Snowboarding
Yo-yoing
Vaping
Coin/paper money collecting
Saltwater fish tanks
Video Games
Computers

Few fish people here! I did saltwater for about a year and got out of it because of the cost and time. Working full time and going to school didn't leave much time for the old reef tank.

My current one is a 34 gallon freshwater (mini 40 breeder), all live plants, 96 watts of T5 lighting, driftwood, 315 gph canister filter, timed lights, LED lit bubble wall, the works.

Mostly, my hobby is vaping. I was big into fish for a couple years, and now I have the tank setup so well (even has an automatic feeder) that I can let it run for 3 months without touching it. My time is primarily spent here on the forums, visiting vape shops, working and going to school. Not a whole lot else unfortunately. I just started DIY which I'm doing okay at. Haven't hit a recipe that blew my socks off yet, but the batches are coming out good. Certainly cheaper, but I still buy juice here and there, mostly Mount Baker. I figure I'll stick with that til the FDA kills everything (hopefully not!) and then my DIY skills will have to crank up a few notches

 

[sawtoothscream]

Archery (compounds and longbows/recurves)
Airguns
Hunting
kayaking
fishing
guitar and drums


those are my main hobbies and non of them are cheap

also golf, skateboard, atv ride

 

[Rickajho]

I agree with you about the Reos. After I got my first one I quit using all my other gear. But then... I can't seem to stop buying Reos.

Antique radios - which are known to consume much space - and photography - and all that gear that goes with it. I would be half better off it I was satisfied with just taking pictures of antique radios but... no.

 

[Danssoslow]

Paintball, go karts/mini bikes, car audio; those are my big three money takers.
Billiards has always been a passion and love; but never one to hit my wallet hard core. I do have a custom cue that I have several hundred tied up into; but I routinely play with an old Dufferin green leaf sneaky Pete I paid $30 for.

The paintball equipment takes the title. I have five or six near-completed markers, and enough parts to build four or five more. Thing is, I don't play but maybe 2-3 times a year. I'm more into the mechanics and beauty of the guns. The whole ordeal drives the wife up a wall.

 

[wheelie]

I am not sure. I will have a look around my man cave and see if I have any hobbies.
