Will I ever be satisfied?

[MiamiMom63]

Lol. It's called being a vapeaholic. I have been vaping almost 2 years. At first I was buying juice from everywhere. I just loved to try juices. Eventually I got into DIY and had to try every flavor extract out there. I finally now after almost 2 years have settled down and am not as curious anymore. However, I have gone from Tupperware containers for storage to a full cabinet of supplies. Lol. I have 2 Provaris, a wood box mod vv bottom feeder, another vv box mod, an acrylic red white and blue mod, a 5v pass through, and a kicked BAM. lol. I've at least gotten it down to one main flavor I enjoy all day. I thought I was safe and done splurging but now I am having a hard time avoiding trying all the glorious rebuildables that keep coming out! Sigh...

 

[MiamiMom63]

Oh yea, also an ego I loan to newbs and a few Volt cig lookalikes for those certain public vaping occasions. Ha!

 

[babyk1352012]

Umm yes this is normal lol, I have 4 mods, an ego twist, enough DIY supplies to last me a few months, 5 tanks, 20 cartos, and plenty of premade eliquid from various vendors. I have calmed down as of lately, I am at that point where i won't be needing anything for awhile. You will get there, but it's SO much fun in the beginning, it's hard not to buy all those new things lol

This is exactly what I was afraid of. I've already spent hour after hour lurking on this forum while busily vaping away at my new Halo G6.

Looking at bigger models and tank systems already and my Halo kit only arrived THIS MORNING.

Heh.

well that makes feel a bit better.. or maybe its the fact that i just made another juice order..

lol.. ill be getting 4 packages today and 2 tomorrow.. its going to be a fun weekend!

From the beginning, I stayed within my cig budget, which was around $50-$70 a week, so I got to get tons of toys. At Thanksgiving, my husband also quit, so I added another $20 a week to my budget.

I am way under each week, and still pretty much get every shiny that catches my eye.

Just be strong...

I have shoe boxes full of stuff from back in November of 2010 until present day I guess it never ends, or at least I hope not, I am addicted to Vapemail

 

[Karma]

I am pretty happy with my hardware though a pretty or fancy battery or a new kind of cartomizer or something might catch my eye. I use Boges + a twist and it's the best setup I have had thus far and I don't really want to change. But, juice? I still buy more than I could ever dream of using up and am thinking about buying unflavored nic juice and flavoring just to save myself a few bucks and have some fun.

Besides buying that reo last night lol. I haven't bought anything for a few weeks and I'm good for a few more weeks. Just gotta find that Set up that's all you and that all day vape

Think about what you spent each month on cigarettes. I'll bet that you are actually saving money in the long run.

I spend about $40 a month on juice and Vivi heads, sometimes more. I bought about 5 cartons a month for my wife and me. I could afford a Provari and didn't realize it. We think about saving money and not spending it on vaping supplies, but it's more about spending money on a safer solution. If we don't vape, some of us run the risk of a smoking relapse. It's worth it ... and much more fun.

 

[Knittinglady]

I figure over 30 years I've spent about 52K on analogs, so if I spend even $1,000.00 to find something that is better for me, then what I spend on vaping is nothing.

Question: "Will I ever be satisfied?"
My answer: ~ Maybe

What you are going through is an important part of learning what works, how it works, why it works. The knowledge you gain from your personal experiences helps new people joining this forum who are seeking information and shared experiences.

You are a valuable resource to the vaping community. And your first hand experiences are a 'god-send or blessing' to this community and new members.

Hang on to your equipment and juices that work for you. Give or sell used equipment & juices to those who are less fortunate than you, or struggling in their vaping journey so nothing is wasted....not your experience, your equipment, your juice, or your money.

You are right on track! Enjoy the journey

I started not that long ago. It all started with buying an eGo kit from a brick and mortar, then another. Then I ordered a bunch of juices online from the company the b&m carries. Then I found ECF and it flipped my vaping knowledge inside out. Since I've found this site, about 4 weeks ago, I have put in two orders at AiV, two @DFW for more juices, MOV I have 4 of their juices, ordered my first eVic from them along with about 5 tanks as well, enough wasn't enough so I pieced together a mini eVic to use at work or out for the night, but i'll eventually give it to my bro. And here as I type this I am debating whether or not to order some more vivi nova stv tanks for my first AiV order which should be arriving soon. I try to limit my purchasing to every other week, that way I can have a week to really decide if I should get it or not, another higher priced APV comes to mind... maybe in a few weeks.

I think that means you haven't bought anything since last night. LMAO...

 

[MiamiMom63]

From what I've seen....there are vapers, and then there are VAPERS! lol. The ones that are excited and want to try everything are the ones that 9 times out of 10, won't go back to cigs again! So be thankful you are addicted to vaping! And like pkj said above, enjoy the journey! It's a very fun ride and I hope the excitement and fun never ends for me

 

[tteabags]

I was a pack a day a smoker (or more) in NY...and packs here range from like $12-13...which adds up to like a couple grand a year. And I do spend quite a nifty bundle on vaping stuff, but I always tell people, HEY! whatever I spent, I would make back in a week or two, let's say if I was still smoking. So all in all, I'm saving money, having a ball, and remaining healthy.

It really is all about the thrill though. For some people they can quit cold turkey, for others the patch, the gum or whatever sort of other nicotine alternative. But for me, it's definitely this method. It's fun as sh..!

 

[SneakyVapper]

I've had to start keeping a list of all the stuff I order so I don't order it twice. I'm waiting on vapemail from 6 different companies at this very moment. I tried to keep a "cost diary", but I started budgeting instead. But hey, it's a hobby and a lifestyle

 

[Xylocaine]

I actually had the attitude of 'Why would I ever need anything but an eGo battery and a carto' for about... 8 months (of my now almost 1 year of vaping). Then I bought a Phoenix Clone... Then a Vamo, a Vivi Nova Neptune and a Stardust Clearo... Then an Aga Tiamat+ ... Then an iSeason (my first mechanical mod), next? an IGO-L and another Mechanical Mod (probably another iSeason)

BEWARE OF MOD FEVER!

 

[badinfluence357]

Mod fever gets really bad, especially when its combined with the got to have it virus ...lol There isn't a mod that can reduce the symptoms or cure that strain...so watch out!!!

 

[MiamiMom63]

What's that saying? Starve a cold, feed a virus? Maybe I'm remembering wrong but that's all I gotta say. Lol.
