Am I out of step? Have I not got it yet? What am I missing?
I'm still using my original eGo kit, although did go mad a few months ago and got a couple of Spinners. However, as it's working for me, I've not been tempted (yet) to go for the 'shineys' or mixing up my own juices. Did have a good look at the Vamo while Jason had his NYD sale, but could not justify it to myself.
Probably being a bit of 'Devil's Advocate' here, but is there such a big difference in using these 'more expensive' mods in order to keep you off the fags? Or are we into a totally different hobby and the cost doesn't need any justification... we just like it!

Or are we into a totally different hobby and the cost doesn't need any justification... we just like it! For me, the initial justification was, I was keeping off the ciggies. Then I bought my first mod, so you need batteries and a charger, then once you have batteries and a charger buying another mod doesn't seem like such a big outlay But yes, it must have turned into a hobby, I now have storage. I still have storage for various past hobbies, the difference with this one is that I'm addicted to nicotine much more than I could ever be addicted to knitting yarn, beads etc :-[ I'm also a sucker for 'special offer'. and I get really nervous about all the talk about regulation, then my BIN finger just takes on a life of it's own And I love all you guys on the forum

Hi Raffles, You are only making one mistake. <<< but could not justify it to myself>>> Start justifying your vaping spending and you will live forever in Ego-Land. Actually I still use my Egos when I'm out and about and I know it is going to cost me an absolute fortune getting the plastic surgery done to give me the 3 extra mouths that I will need to accommodate the extra shineys I have bought. My way of looking at the spending is that if I can keep my shiney spending to less than half what I am saving on fags, then I'm doing okay. Anyways, if I wasn't spending it on vaping, the wife would be spending it on new shoes and handbags and we don't have enough room for all of these.

Hi Lobey, I hear what you're saying, and the cost is not an obstacle... I suppose what I'm really asking is, do these mods make a significant difference to your vaping experience. Is the flavour much better, the vapour much better. My current set up does the job, and I, personally, cannot see a reason to change what works. But, that's just me, and I've no doubt I'll be tempted at some time to try something else. Anyway, I really hope you enjoy your 'vape mail'

I know what you are saying Raffles and I felt the same way until a few weeks ago.
Then I decided to splash out and bought a ProVari.
Now whether it was the fact that I can now fine tune my vaping, or whether it was because after 5 months, my taste buds have improved so much that I am now looking for better tasting vaping, I don't know, but now I am looking for "the perfect Vape".
Oh, during the day when I am out and about, all I need is the nicotine fix and as long as it is vapeable, I will toke away on just about any of my favourites, but in the evening I want luvverly tasting juices.
I am also of the mind that come the summer holidays, there will be times when I am suitting about on campsites, not doing a lot and also looking for good tasting juices. I would rather not be worrying about losing the Provari and so somewhat cheaper PVs are needed.
For much the same reasons, I am also buying some rebuildable attys.

well my answer to my partner was on what i have spent is look at it this way i have spent x but still saved £££ on top, not smoking now if i hadnt quit smoking x and £ would be just a pile of ash in that glass bowl,with all my trinkets ,if so at later date i can sell em and recover some of what i spent,as for the ash in that glass bowl that would be worth what i spent on stinkies and no value to sell on looking at that siegeli telescope mod now lol my expenditure since 1st jan a massive £16! # # # # # # # # # # # #

I hope I've always bought due to function/necessity rather than shiny-ness. I am awaiting a gp spheroid which was pricey but also bought a tube mod for 10 quid. One will improve experience and help me reduce nic, the other is a basic battery holder with a button. All depends on what our functional requirements are. With my december outlay of around 200 quid, I now need to only invest in nic base and the occasional deal.
To compare, 2 years ago I bought a cutting edge sim-free mobile on offer for 400 notes. That phone on contract would now have cost me over 1000 quid on contract irrespective of call costs.
The test for me with an upfront investment is avoiding future new products but thankfully I love mech mods and LR-ness
