Can I stop

[sleedale]

spending now please?  icon_shoppingm Started with a couple of egos, rubbish tanks......found you guys, got better batteries and tanks,   then dearest son decided he'd like to try vaping.......so bought a half decent kit for him  icon_shoppingm then discovered I could make my own coils   that should save money I thought, and it does....once I'd spent enough to start making coils  icon_shoppingm quite happy with things as they were, buying juices, good bargains found via you guys   then went to visit dear son who tried my nice tanks and liquids so of course I had to buy him some  icon_shoppingm but at least he is vaping part time and doing ok. Then I looked at the liquids....and then at mixology on here..........and......yup....... icon_shoppingm more spending.....nic, pg, VG, and concentrates......so many lovely flavours......and recipes too. But among this latest diversion, some wonderful peeps on here very kindly GAVE me some flavours, which has made a big difference to my little collection  .......so with purchases and gifts I made some of the recipes.......ooooooh yum........all good, if expensive to get started. Oh, and I got a dripper from a lovely person on here, first go.......yum, burnt cotton wool....need to practice.
Then........
dear son asks me if I can help his lovely girlfriend started with vaping..........now she is a very lovely person, a single mum who works part time when she can.......works hard.......so.........yup.......another shopping trip and this time......no starter kits......two decent batteries, two mini PT 2 with spare coils, and somehow a rainbow ego twist fell in the basket too...........charger, plug and case ordered from LT who just happen to sell the flavours I desperately need for the latest recipe I found on here icon_shoppingm. 

I only work very part time cos I retired from teaching early a few years ago and this week I've spent what I'm going to earn before I blummin well earn it.

mind you.........I'm still not smoking (couldn't blummin afford to) and at least my lovely OH just says......'I'm just happy you're not smoking anymore' and it's great fun.


but, can I stop spending now, please?

is there a vaping spending anonymous forum?

I very much doubt it sleedale. Always a tempting goodie just around the corner.


I've not succeeded in over 4 years . . . though it has slowed down, I think.

Stop spending

[Q]

Oh the story is SO familiar

[sleedale]

Perpetua 4 years? Oh my goodness, I'll be destitute

[markscuba]

Yeah I will buy some stop spending pills please

It's a disease you know and it's airborne as every vaper somehow gets it.

See buy -read buy-you tube buy- classifieds buy buy buy and still buying lol

Fortunately I don't have any shops within 10 minutes (well 7 minutes in the car) I'd have to rob a bank?

sleedale CONTROL THAT SPENDING


WHEN YOU KNOW HOW ..... LET US ALL IN ON THE SECRET

[sleedale]

Is there NO hope? Then someone me

[spaniel]

sleedale on the plus side you are only damaging your bank account not your health 

Well that's the excuse i always use when i can't resist an offer, and the wife agree's, although she is still under the impression that my new IPV was £20 from China   really can't imagine where she got that idea.

Thing about vaping as you surely know is it's all up front costs. That Vamo isn't about to fall apart anytime soon (fall over maybe!) but I bet the hairs on my chinny chin chin that you're spending now on concs and other consumables, maybe the odd atty, replacement battery, or a bit of shiny you take a shiny to... the initial big spend is over, now it's relatively minor.

Don't get into mod building or you'll end up buying a host of electrical and mechanical engineering gear! I nearly did

[sleedale]

This is true spaniel, and in the long term, it'll work out much cheaper.......it will......it will.......

Can't think of anything else I want now.......well, maybe a few more flavours, eventually when I've mixed more. I am quite happy with my kit now and I've got a dripper that tastes of burnt cotton wool, so I've got something new to learn......

It'll be ok........maybe......perhaps......just don't anyone tell me there's other things......
