You dont neeeed it!!!

[keyzygirl]

I swear us vapers have an addiction to vape supplies.We troll around looking for the newest or best things that are available.Hundreds of dollars on mods.More juice than you can vape,in every flavor people talk about.OOOOOh I saw a review and I neeeed to get this!!LOOOK!!A new carto tank!!I neeeeeeed that!!OMG!Fat pretty drip tips!How can I live without it???Im as guilty as anyone.I used to buy stuff all the time.The fact is we dont really neeeeeed as much as we purchase.

My Hubs and I have had a rough year.We both had major surgery and with thousands in medical bills and 3 kids that still want to participate in soccer and band and everything else it leaves little for vape supplies.Its okay!I drool over Pink Silver Bullets and New Pink Splash mods.I swear I will die if I dont get them.Realize Im not 5,and get over it.I have a new rule.Wait 2 weeks and see if you die without it.If you still feel you cant survive maybe save up and get one.Usually at the end of 2 weeks Im drooling over something else like the new Buzz VVPV and we start the 2 week wait all over again.

You dont neeeeeed everything.Dont go into CC debt over vaping.Slow down and put alot of thought into your purchases.Give it time.Then only purchase what you do really NEEEEEED!!

Must...buy...everything...

Yep, I realized I was becoming addicted to buying new stuff as well. I can afford it, but it's better to not go out of control. Being self-employed, I can't know how long the money will keep coming... I like your 2 weeks rule, I think I will try that out (after my 2 months of buying nothing).

well said keyzy, however, it is definately easier said than done!

I go a year. By then all the cons as well as the pros are pretty much established, upgrades mastered and money saved.
If truth be told... I would be skipping the first 3/4 of the year and head straight to the buying part if the money was easier to come by.

Yesterday I ordered my first batch of Boba's Bounty, Hype, and Gorilla Juice and I've been vaping 2 years or so....

I wish you had posted this 6 months ago keyzygirl. It may just work for me. There isn't anything I could possibly NEED for quite sometime. There is however alot of stuff I want.

 

[Optimo]

Yeah I'm broke but I wanna buy a Alpha from AltSmoke so bad it just looks cool as hell and mechinal button is nice...I already have a VV box mod...somebody talk me out of buying a Alpha lol.

 

[keyzygirl]

Just wait 2 weeks and see if it changes.You may be surprised.Its so easy to get that Mod bug and want them all.Just wait 2 weeks and see.Im dying for a pink SB but Im not giving in.

I have a solution for you folks that think you need everything...move into an RV and live your life on the road. About a year and a half ago, DW and I sold our 2 story 5 BR home, moved into an RV, and hit the road. The simple reality is you just won't have room for all that stuff.

I just got back from vacation, and found 2 bottles of flavors, 1/2 doz cartos and a few batteries and a charger was all I NEEDED!!
My rule of thumb is don't spend over 1/2 of what you used to spend on smokes, and you can "save up" for a big purchase if you can't resist "ohhhhh shiny"

 

[WiηgC¤mmαηdεя]

Well said,
Nowadays I am primarily DIY for liquid, but buy some premixed mostly for the wife.
I replace my hardware as it wears out but keep a spare kit on hand just in case. Comes in handy when someone goes " where can I get one ".
After 2.5 years I have finally bought a Mod(Altsmoke Alpha) and really like it but am applying the 2 week rule towards any other mods, otherwise need to explain to wife why I needed it - LOL.

Wing.

Getting paid today and first thing I want to do is hit the vape shop. The bills can wait, right? HA!

Kind of funny, I've been on a box mod kick lately. Got the little 2xAA box mod down to less than $5.00 to build, and it vapes every bit as good as my $85.00 Silver Bullet. (just need to remember to pack a couple of extra 14500's along with the extra cartos). Sorry Keyzy, it's a black SB.
Building a little VV box mod right now. Looks like I will be into it about $12.00.
Enjoying your vaping is mandatory, spending a fortune is optional.

I've been vaping my "easy to come by", 7-11 special, njoy since March. I went from spending way to much on replacement cartos, to buying refill juice instead. No big deal, except the cartos still sucked ..., and the batteries were even worse. After buying my third starter kit, I had to look into something else. Found the Ego-T to be appealing and that's what I just got yesterday. So, all these months, I'd been living on only what I needed. That is, unless you want to form the argument that I don't need to vape either. It's not that difficult to keep your debit/credit card at bay. Just remember why you like vaping. It has nothing to do with loads of bling bling.

I admire your spirit, but you do realize don't you that they say "available when available because we can't guarantee what colors they'll let us make next round"....

tehee, I so want a pink one too, but my black one just keeps vaping and vaping and vaping... and I can't justify it to hubby yet. I think I'll get a pink Omega though when I can, because those are mechanical and easily fixed during zombie wars.

 

[Morandir835]

Great advice Ms. Keyzy.

Ya' know, I can help you out with that. Just send me your black one, then tell DH that it got stolen or mutilated by an angry mob or batman flew off with it...ya' know something believable. Then he'll be forced to buy you a pink one. Hey, it's a win-win!

Great advice, I can do with what I have,, I have been watching for the postman today, suppost to receive a new mod tank, cartos, e-juice and who knows what eles I have ordered? I NEED TO STOP.

By the time I got into vaping, my credit was shot due to divorce and I was broke due to 50% of my pay check going to child support, so yeah, I can vouch for not needing ALL the newest and greatest stuff. I just picked one and hoped for the best. Luckily I picked the ego and it was good enough I could stick with it
