Younger folks and vaping

[plastictree]

I'm talking like 18 - 30

Yes, I did just make this thread. I just don't understand how the "Older folks and vaping" is so popular. Theres even an old people thread in the lounge.

Biggest thing with us younger people is our budget. We don't make 35 bucks an hour AND have a retirement check ect. ect.
We have maybe some part time job we found or we are in college or are just starting our career and trying to make it with these insane apartment prices.

I am 19 years old, I have 2 jobs and paying for my own school. But since I live at home still, I don't really have any bills at all (Besides hulu plus lol) But When it comes to vaping I can't just buy everything. So carto tanks are my friend, vivi nova is my friend, and VAMO is my friend. My "nice" mod is my kicked silver bullet that is scratched to hell.

What I'm really curious about is what your budget is, and instead of saying I make 20k a year, say how much juice you could buy a week.

I could buy 100 ml of Bobas bounty a week. Pretty much it.

I didn't fall in the older folks range, and I don't fall in your age range either. When will someone make a thread for meeeee?
For the record, my budget is to break even, and then stay there.

Don't worry someone has to make a "Middle life crisis" thread.

26 and dropped out of college 6 times now...

I'm currently helping a friend get his eBay business going, so I'm pretty much perpetually broke.

With all that said, my budget is to never have a cigarette again. If I need stuff, I make sure I have a way to get it ECBlend juices and rebuildables are becoming my friends.

Carto-tanks arn't really friend, but my vivi nova refuses to work on my vamo2 for whatever sick and twisted reason. True story, just happened..... I JUST put in a new cartomizer in my carto tank.... 2 days later... the carto is clogged. When you really don't have a budget lol.... this gets aggravating because I really can't afford a whole bunch of stuff right now!!

So..... I don't have much of a budget. I was working with family a short while, got screwed by family, have been working a crappy weekend job that 100% sucks and I can't wait to quit with the high hopes this new job works out well I can go tell that boss "I'll keep my promise to do what I have agreed but as of April I am no longer working for you as I have obtained better employment" I'd love to rip her a new one but I'd rather keep it professional so when that job is on a resume, if they call, she can't really say anything bad... I hope.

I don't think a ton of older folks make 35 an hour.... I do know some who make 25 an hour...

Anyhoo I've been out of a work a long time, bounced to a couple of jobs....just recently very happy with the new job I have because it's exactly what I really want to be doing more than anything at the current time.

My juice budget is right about 0. So happy I learned how to DIY last year. Occasionally buy nic, vg, flavorings.... actually when I run errands today I'm picking up some VG. Maybe 20-50$ every 3-5 months depending. Bought a gallon of PG some time ago so I didn't need to worry about that. I imagine it'll last untill the end of the year.


& I'm 24 right now. Plans to go to college only if I can save the money to do it. Seems silly to some. Only working to pay off debt seems silly to me.

This is pretty much exactly why I got a rebuildable. I still grab cartos when I can, cause they're really easy and come with a great vape. Though all I can expect out of them is a day or two before I have to waste time cleaning them and such. And as far as Nova's go, I'm really starting to hate them. Every time I look there's another version out. It's the stardust thing all over again.

I find this funny. Watching this thread and my carto just died. Thanks for the luck guys!

Rebuildable what though? There's so much rebuildable everything out now lol The rebuildable atomizers intrigue me but I just don't "get it". Thoughts come to mind of the old atomizers that came with my very first eGo kit. In that case I don't care for how plain, dripping, atomizers hits at all. New versions of vivis don't really bother me too much if that means there will be a better connection on the bottom at some point.

oops. double post.

Sorry plastic lol... my bad.

You just reminded me that I was going to mention that I've had to do some post pulling on every one of my Nova's at one point or another. Someone's also going to mention that you can "rebuild" those at some point. Meh...

A rebuildable atty is just one of those things you have to try and see if you like. I picked one up from Mountain Oak Vapor for like 15 bucks and it's WORLDS away from the old eGo atty I have.

Must I drip? If I must drip I will kill it with a sledgehammer.

 

[plastictree]

Didn't know MOV had that many rba's, ive been looking into it, have to get that and some juice

Well... yes and no.

Most of them will be for dripping, but there are a few tanks out there like the Odysseus. Then there's the rebuildable tank that Smoktech is putting out that I've never seen a decent review for. Heard good things about the Steam Machine / GP Spheroid, but those just remind me of cartridge days...

 

[plastictree]

And then Genesis... I could see my aga working but I'm kinda lazy lately

I'll just stick to what I like. I really... really loooove just love my Vivi Novas so much so I plan to buy another device when I can just so I can use my Vivi on it. As for now, I must go shopping and then lots of cooking! Have fun guys.

Yep they've got several. Even the Oddy clone if I remember correctly. I nothing else, their juice is friggin amazing! I just wish they'd offer bigger bottles

And yeah, there's the whole genesis thing going on now too. I haven't ventured into that yet. Not sure how I feel about torches and waterbaths and such.

Now I officially feel like I'm talking way too much in this thread. The bottom line is that if you can find something to keep you off analogs you're good to go.

With my aga I made a nice 1.8 ohm coil, I just used a cigarette lighter, but apparently thats defined as "dirty" heat or something

 

[plastictree]

Well I gotta go to work, hope ou guys keep this thread up, really curious if I'm the youngest guy on here

 

[plastictree]

Sorry to bump but im guessing there's just a lot less younger vapers than older vapers

 

[Tiffani]

I just bought a couple of rebuildable CE4s lately, so we'll see how that goes. I could afford a 30 mL bottle of juice from my favorite local juice vendor every week, since that's about what I used to spend on cigarettes, but I like the fact that I'm not spending as much as I did on cigarettes. I'm sitting on about three or four months' worth of juice already thanks to the free basket at the local vapers' meeting.
