You know you've been vaping a while when...

[gpjoe]

You dripped a carto
You dripped a Cisco
You've used a Boge
You've squonked with a carto on your Reo Grand
You've gone to the hardware to buy parts for a DIY carto punch
You dropped your IBTanked and broke the glass
You dripped an Igo-L or W
You've drilled the cap on an Igo-W
You've wrapped 28 or 30 ga kanthal around silica wick
You've made 28 or 30 ga coils on a drill bit for a Kanger ProTank
You've had to decide between the blue or smoked replacement glass for your ProTank Mini
You have a huge pile of 510 drip tips
You know what a GLV Mini is - bonus if you owned one
You've reset the puff counter on an Innokin MVP
You've lost the fill screw while filling your Lemo with a syringe
You have used a mod with 18350 batteries
You have used a mod with 14500 batteries
You waited 3 months for a Super T mod that was "in stock" when you paid for it
You have used a Twist
You remember when Boba's Bounty and Pluid sold for scalper's prices
You actually vaped Pluid
You melted a plastic clearomizer
You own any type of 510 adapter
You own 40 tiny blue screwdrivers

I'm sure there's many more. Feel free to add to the list.

I could put a check-mark next to about half of those.

When you have a Kayfun V5 on a EhPro tube mod in your bag and you fall on it breaking the tank glass and flat spotting the battery cap of the mod.

 

[santo19586]

when you used to tempered a mesh wick for a Genisis atty like the Line or a Scubagen

 

[NGAHaze]

You experimented with different filler materials ( such as blue foam ) for cartridges
You made your own cartotank out of an old juice bottle
You debridged a 510 atomizer to make it a dripper

Just off the top of my head ...

Oh man - how did I forget the old RSST and rolling and heating and quenching the mesh??? Awesome addition to the list.

Even better - this pre-dates my vaping roots but I've heard about it.

It's unfortunate but I "liked" it because we've all been there.

You've vaped dry wick on an RTA/RDA while watching a movie on TV and didn't notice your tank was running empty.

You've used cartomizers as your daily vape and filled them using the condom method.

You've done a teabag or blue foam mod on an eGo.

Done that and at least half of the OP's original list.

 

[suprtrkr]

Been there, done that. But I had to use (parts of) the T-shirt for wicking in an emergency. (Sigh)

 

[Anise]

Your thumb hurts from pushing the squonk bottle too many times. You can't remember what kind of wire is in what attys coil or what liquid is in what atty. You have mods stashed in every room, including the bathroom, and still buy more. You have more attys than shirts. You've left your house without your keys but not without multiple mods.

I think in about the 75 Percentile on your List. LOL.

I'll just add these...

You remember when the term "Mod" was something you did to make something Work Better.
You have a Box of Pyramid Tea Bags in the back of your Vape Drawer.
You've done a Taryn Spin and have hit the Ceiling Fan at least once.
You know what an E2 and a CE2 are. And have some BD Syringes to go with them.

 

[Tmebs]

LOL, Taryn Spin
I bought a mini food chopper and 808 to 510 adaptors to jury rig a MONSTER SPINNER after watching some yt video!
Never did build it tho.

Good old days....one thing I did back then, when I was vaping a mech and genny, was hiding it while driving.....not to many people, 7 or so years ago in my town knew anything about vaping, maybe they seen a cig a like, but a big Ole mech and a tank to boot looked like a drug device for sure.... i got some really awful looks until I started kind of hiding it . Once I was vaping in my truck and a mom and son looked over at me, instantly the mom gave me a disgusting look and pulled the boys head away so he couldn't look at me.....[emoji102]

Pluid[emoji13]. It was so hard to get and I wanted to try it. I finally procured some and it was nasty. To this day it's the worst juice I have ever tried......actually there was another that tasted like incense, but can't remember the name....something like mom's jamacia, or something similiar sounding

Yeah, some poor Petco manager still has a box in the back from over ordering blue foam and fishwick(?). Ha, I still have the carto stuck in the bottle on my workbench. Thought better of the idea and waited until there was something better than the Liquinator.
Still dream of owning an S&P tank...

You know you've been vaping awhile when...

...you're using an eGo Mega Cylinder Shaped or Mega Cone Shaped atty to taste test your DIY eliquids...and other vapers ask, "What the Hell is that"?

...friends are looking at you very puzzled, because they see you stealth vaping with a Vision Nano clearomizer on a tiny eGo 400mAh battery.

...your "vapocolypse stash" includes not only lots of more modern gear, but also 200+ cartos + 15-20 carto tanks, punches & fillers, a dozen or so 510 JoyeTech 320mAh batteries, 18 5-packs of your favorite Vision Nano clearomizers, boxes of 510 short attys & foam filled cartridge/mouthpieces, etc., etc.

...your rotation of mods still includes some Innokin MVP's.

...your car and house have years ago lost the smell of your cigarette smoke.

 

[ppeeble]

You remember when 'low resistance' meant 2 ohms......
You had to convert volts and resistance into watts manually....
You bought 200+ spare top coil clearomiser heads for your CE atties....
You still remember fondly your first glass carto tank...
You paid £5 for 10ml of e-liquid....
You first managed to get Bobas Bounty (and wondered if your taste buds were different to everyone elses)...
