cant i stop buying things? I mean really! I did not need another mod. I need a hole in my head more. I told myself "you dont need it" but I made an offer and it was accepted. Now I have another VS on the way. The one I should have gotten in the first place, but the store was sold out and I did not want to wait for it to ship. This has to be the last thing I buy or else I will never save money. I use way too much liquid so that expense is enough. There needs to be a group meeting for this habit.

there are few more attys i really want.. but i'm holding on to my pocket string really tight. don't really need any more hardware. i have enough to last me forever. but they are so tempting.. how would i know what i have is good enough unless i compare with the others? i don't think vaping is any cheaper than smoking way i'm doing it.

I feel your pain. My biggest problem vaping, lately, has been battery life. I'd really like a battery that lasted more than 12 hours. these samsung 25Rs are good, but I vape a LOT. I see the new MVP 3 and realize that with 3800mah, I might just see more than one day's worth of charge. Then I look at what I've spent in 6 months... just can't justify it :) I've already got 6 batteries that are not being used since I got my IPV mini 6 weeks ago. At least, I can't justify it just yet.

I actually used to have this issue, then I realized that you can get really hungry when not eating for a day or so. Kind of cured my issue of needing to acquire stuff anymore. Now I've got a 3 paycheck policy, I'll save up for 3 paychecks and if I can justify it at the end of that then I'll buy it, if not then really didn't need it (typically I find improvisions that are a great substitute in the mean time).

Trust me I've spent way more on vaping then on smoking, way more....but then again I haven't looked back a moment especially from the health benefits that I've gotten are amazing. I can actually walk the dogs and not get winded down and back up my stairs again.

Took a few months but it finally subsided. Haven't even bought juice in three months! just coils. I have a lot of gear new still in the boxes that I convinced myself I must have, and back ups for those too :)

The new found money excuse from not buying smokes is a tough one to beat. I switched to buying music gear instead :D It's all good fun though and the sorry excuse for a government isn't getting one friggin dime of cigarette tax from me anymore and THAT makes me very very happy. Almost as happy as feeling so much better, though oit's close. Coming up on seven months vaping and only smoked two smokes......... a few weeks ago, and I already had em.

I hate to say it but spending less time on this site helps too. YOUR ALL A BUNCH OF dammed ENABLERS :D

We can have a meeting. I'll be the one wearing the NOS vintage Oakley Jordan titanium sunglasses I just bought that I didn't need.

Yeah man I can totally understand this. I have so many RDAs and the ones I LOVE I bought the authentic version lol. I also recently got my first mech mod and orderd some more. I got boxes, Provaris, carto tanks, clearos, RTAs (most of all these things in doubles or more) and so much juice its un real. I save money though in all honestly. I used to spend about 400$ a month throughout 2012 (my last year smoking) and since then havent spent more then that in a month on vapeing.

Yup, stay away from the forum! I did this for about a year, what I had was "good enough". Came back a year later to see where all the buzz was, watched a few u tub vids and grabbed a couple of items that REALLY stepped up the game for me.

So much of the day to day changes are only marginally better anyways, but OHHH what a difference a year makes...WOW. I feel for ya's it's not easy to do. Cheers
