Have you spent or are spending too much on devices, etc?

I keep saying "that's it, no more" but I'm now waiting on an IPV mini which is on the snailboat from slowtech and an MVP v3 which will hopefully be here next week from puremist. And that's it. . . Errr. . . . . Well maybe not.

I'm not buying any more, no matter what happens now. Every time I buy something I find an upgraded version pops up within a few hours. It's not funny. How the heck am I supposed to look cool with yesterday's kit??

Seriously tho. I've just taken delivery of my M65 so that's it. My quest now is to try all the juices I can, whether that'll work out more expensive I can't say - yet!!

Trying to work out how to add robby to my ignore list without upsetting him

Its taken more than a year but my shinyitus is finally abating I'm content enough with a bakers dozen of mods, a core 5 or 6 that I'd keep till they died (and probably want replacement versions) Yes I have spent loads of wonga on my gear but I see them as collateral, I'm sitting on a fair few hundred quids worth of gear so least I have some beauties to show for my money!

I probably could have saved around half of what I have spent but I had disposable income that had been saved from quitting and by amassing my vape collection it kept me from falling off the wagon I'm sure I'm still going to be curious and buy new atomisers now and then but I am content with my gear and I have a good idea now of what I wont buy/dont like so any foolish shopping in the early days confirmed my vape tastes so cant be seen as money wasted!

I know exactly what I've spent on vaping vs how much I would have spent on the stinkies as I keep a spreadsheet which I update any time I spend anything even if its just a few pennies and I am well in "profit" since making the switch. I've spent £516.87 on equipment (batteries, mods, tanks, coils, wire, wicks, coil jigs, cases, lanyards, stands, ohms meter etc.) and £319.50 on eliquid, that comes to £836.37 however I was buying over 20 L&B a day though for the purposes of the spread sheet I have stuck to 20 a day so the savings after the spend still come to £1358.66

I spent a lot more in the early days vs my average monthly spend now I've pretty much settled on my fav juices and have a reasonable stock built up (understatement) I can be tempted by new mods but as far as atties go I stick to my protanks or anything that is glass and takes a protank single coil. I can now make my own coils but tbh I'm saving so much that I am quite happy to buy ready mades from ft and wick them myself with rayon or jap cotton, and a few jonco microcoils every couple of months.

Yesterday I went out and bought 3 electric toothbrushes costing just over £50. Oral b good ones in a sale! This was money left over from last week. Just over 2 years ago, this money would have been spent on ciggies. My point is, despite my manic vape spends, I still have cash in my pocket I'm either better handling my money or vaping is cheaper than smoking despite splurges.

Let`s face it @spikeyfridge , you are in denial, just mention the word "squonk" and you start skipping and dancing like a 5 year old !!!!!!!

My problem is, if I have one of something, I need 17 as back up security. You know this robby!

[Pepperty]

yes, exactly snow I'm now self sufficient and if - in teh worst case scenario - there was no vaping stock the world over I could continue indefinitely. I can make my own coils, I have enough mods and tanks and I can make my own juice.

OK, so if I was suddenly insolvent and could only afford to eat .... I can vape for free - forever

Do you stand in front of a mirror when you say that .............................every day .........................................once an hour

[Pepperty]

YES!! I agonise over everything appealing in classifieds section and 99% of the time I eventually accept that its not needed ... there are still a couple of things on my wish list I would pull the plug on in a jiffy? but they are rare bits so I'm not likely to see them pop up

I know "without the premature death" doesn't have the same ring to it though.
