Hello I'm new¬!

A big Hi and welcome Sal. You are right on the money about AAEC being the friendliest forum with ever helpful people at all stages of vaping experience. My only piece of advice in trying to fight the Shinyitis virus is to ask "DO I REALLY NEED THIS?" - a bit like treating double pneumonia with asprin!

Hi @freefromsmoking -thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the advice re Shinyitis virus Any suggestions on how to alter my default setting of 'Yes you definitely need this' ?

Shinyitis is very catching

I try to write lists. You would be surprised what you can cross off again a couple of days later once you have thought about it. That works for me, but then again I hate having things lying around reminding me of money I shouldn't have spent. A couple of days "thinking time" makes sure that I truly love most of the things I do buy.

dragon great advice, I just need to train myself not to be so impulsive!

I find that a nagging 'other half' who keeps a beady eye on the bank balance is a great incentive

I'm lucky/unlucky I have the opposite problem, if I say I love something he says I should get it, then my Scottish genes kick in and I decide I don't love it enough

I was looking at the really expensive gold thingymigigs that dolly posted the other day, and he was glancing over my shoulder asking if I wanted one, I was tempted but NO! must resist I don't want anything too valuable, because I couldn't cope if it was lost/stolen/broken So I would never use it I may have possibly wasted the same amount of money on drip tips in total though

Methinks your hubby has the art of reverse psychology down to a tee!
