Ok, so this is 4 days early from my actual vapeaversary.....but with grad school my ECF time has been drastically cut. 
And ignore my signature calendar....I have reset it 3 times now and it still reads the wrong info.
8/22/10 was the last time I smoked a cigarette. THREE YEARS! Year 3 has been the simplest of all my years of vaping. I have everything pretty much down to a science. I know what I like, I stay with those things, and order accordingly. This has been the year of the MVP, the Gripper, and of course my standby Provari's. I am pretty much on auto-pilot: fill carto, put in tank, charge batts nightly, change carto every 4 days, repeat. Go through about 30mL of DIY juice every 7-10 days. Always have 6 of those in steeping rotation. As I use 1 bottle, I make another and put it at the end of the rotation. Smooth as butter. The biggest thing I did with vaping this year is go to a vape-meet. It. Was. AWESOME! I cannot wait to go to more.
Most of my vaping budget has gone to over over OVER stocking of supplies. My supply toolbox is pretty full. I am pretty sure I could vape for the next 5 years without needing to order anything. But, nothing in life is ever certain, and I know that regulations could happen and the economy could take a crap on me as it did in 2008. So I have planned ahead very very well. Vaping supplies will always be in my stockpile arsenal. While I will probably hold off ordering anything else until after the new year, I am sure I will stock up on more stuff then.
Still cannot believe it is 3 years. I have no desire to ever smoke again. The smell of smoke nauseates me. Regardless of the FDA or regulations or whatnot, I will never smoke again. I have plenty of nic to wean myself down if I need to. To all of you new vapers, keep at it! You are lucky to be vaping in a time where vape supplies are aplenty and extensive. When I started it was very primitive and limited.
Time to start preparing for year 4! Vape on my friends!
