Um, because you are a guy and most of this stuff is stainless steel and the attraction to stainless steel is written into our dna. Because this stuff keeps you from smoking and subconsciously you are so grateful, you keep buying to make sure your have enough to last.

I know a certain female who has more shoes and clothes in her closets that I've never seen her wear than she has in her actual wardrobe rotation. At least a collection of vape Gear would hopefully get the dust knocked off of it once in a while. I recently moved to carto-tanks so I've been trying or re-trying a bunch of flavors to see how different they taste. Next, I'm ordering a variety of carto's to see which ones I like or at least the differences in performance. After that, I may get a skin for the women's VTR (she already slid it across a sidewalk). By then, I'm afraid something else will be on the radar. :vapor:

I must admit that I'm a gadget guy, and most of my batteries are stainless or black (guy thing), so there's that.

I must also admit that in my subconscious, when I'm about to push that "BUY" button, I know I have spent WAY less on vaping stuff than I wasted on cigarettes. BUT, I'd rather save at least some of the money I woulda spent on cigarettes....

But the vaping websites keep pulling me back.....

;)

Oh, and when liquid vendors throw in free samples, they get me hooked on more flavors so they are at least partly "to blame".

:D

ummmm you are unsatisfiable? ummm you cant get enuf of the good stuff? umm you have alot more money than me ;)

I am satisfied with the vapor production, flavor, form factor(s) and cost.....

I REALLY like vaping....... (I had no intention of quitting smoking when I started)

My $ saved counter is about to click over $3K, and I know I haven't spent that much on vaping, so as long as you and I are in the same boat of vaping $ vs smoking $.....

And yet, I just went to the Hanna Mods web page......

:facepalm:

I'm sick......

:D

Simply because I love to tinker with things, and learn how to make them perform at their best.

Even as a kid, my way of playing with a new toy was to take it apart to see how it worked.

Sheesh do I know that one too well... then I moved on to Dads Lawnmower... that didnt set too well either...

It was 26 or 33 on Turbo with 4 X 1MB sticks. Traded a buddy for 4 X 4s and thought we were in heaven. Then we went from 14,4 to 28,8 on AOL dialup. WOOHOO

Back to topic, I/we have spent over 500 in two months while watching my banner climb. I need to stop for a while though. Some of that is juice and just got some DIY stuff. 2 MVPs at 80 was the most at one time.

I don't understand it. I have 16 different liquids, about 20 toppers, and the following:

eVic with multiple size tubes
MVP V2
VV V3
two 450 eGo minis
two 650 EVOD batteries
an 1100 mAh eGo unregulated
a VTR
Three 18650s
four 18350s
Luc charger

And now, I'm pondering a Provari....

What gives?

Any other thing in my life, I get what I need, or want, and stop. I didn't go ballistic on modding my car, or my bike, but I'm always perusing vape supplies, and pondering the next liquid flavor.

I just don't get it.

Is this what vaping addiction* is?

*Not talking about nicotine here, but the "art" of vaping.

And no, mixing liquids and RBAs are not on my radar....

:D

The nature of man is to strive to attain the unattainable. Why did we go to the Moon? Why do we explore the depths of the oceans? Why do we seek answers to all questions? Why do I want the latest Mod? Because it's there!

Not having a ProVari is the reason you keep buying stuff...:)

my GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) began when I found out how hard the powers that be are trying to regulate us out of existence. I absolutely refuse to go back to smoking because of this. Hence I figure I need to stockpile about 40 years worth of stuff (Hey I MIGHT make it to 90).

Seriously though that is why I went into DIY juice and mechs+rebuildables.

Now this mess in California has me planning to buy a couple more IBTanked tanks before they can no longer ship them out of state. :p
