ADDICTION

[Dave]

I was addicted to smoking cigarettes until I found a release, due to discovering vaping I kicked the habit, improved my health ( due to my job I have a medical every 6 months and my lung capacity has improved by 12%, yes I do have written proof ) and I feel and smell 100% better.......BUT........Now I have a new addiction.


I can't stop buying shiney things   i'm on first name terms with the postman, my local vape shop gives me new liquids to try for free and I'm sat here typing with 3 different mods on the go ( accompanied by a bottle of Das Helle ) but I;m still quids in compared to what I used to spend on cigs!!!!!!!

Is it just me? do I need counselling or has this happened to anyone else 

[Greg]

Don't worry you're perfectly weird like the rest of us

[Perpetua]

Welcome to the club Dave.

[igual]

You have officially contracted shinyitus I'm sorry but there is no known cure apart from donating all your shinys to me

[Tom]

Set yourself a budget, stick to it.

Shinyitus is very very real.

[flavourtank]

shinyitus is unfortunately one of those bugs you cant kick...............it may calm down but then it comes back and bites you in the arse

[Dave]

I've started having deliveries posted to work then our Doris doesn't know what I'm buying

I then sneak them into the garage, place them into the secret stash area until they make an appearance " that looks new?"......"no love I've had it for ages"

[toots]

My postman actually now tells me his holiday dates so that I make sure I don't get any deliveries when he's away. I can't trust the other temp post persons to actually deliver vapemail to my door like he does

How bad is that eh

We have a young baby, my wife is off work and sees everything.

'You're getting bloody loads of stuff delivered Tom!!'

To be fair I've cut back since she's been off
The cheaper than fags excuse is starting to wear thin.

'Do you really need another one of those?'
'Is that new?'
'What the **** is that!?'

Work address.... I like your thinking Dave

[Dave]

Now then guys this is where the AAEC banner comes in handy.......

Mine say that I have avoided 5380 cigs since 23/01/2014

1 x pack of cigs.......8.00 english pounds?

That equates to a saving of 2,153 pounds sterling

I have no way spent that much on my addiction.......nearly but not close enough

It's just you.

Yes, counselling would be perfect.

BUT that's gonna cost more than buying shiny stuff.

So, Vape on.








... and don't feel bad. We've all been there. (Even though I said it was just you)....

[Deleted]

Maybe us smokers are addictive by nature......

I have worked out can't buy anything else till December just to break even, I only started vaping 2 and a bit weeks ago!

[cHooBeyDoo]

Perfectly normal Dave , although, shinyitis may be more addictive than smoking

[Debbie13]

Totally normal......we all get it at some stage......more so than others tho icon_shoppingm

[Dave]

As we speak, just sent another order off to Fast Tech.I'm in soooooo much trouble
