sorry to say there is no known cure.

No matter how many times I argue that vaping is a hobby, my wife determines when and how I can enjoy my "hobby".
That isn't a cure it but more like a suppressant because it always is there.
Or just buy everything in matte black finish so it doesn't shine so hard.Marriage.
I must be more addicted than I thought!! I just bought my third Mod!! THIS one doesn’t need replacement batteries!!
It shouldn’t take “20 Mods” to quit. At MOST, I could see having say seven. One for each day.
And even THAT seems excessive.
That's because you're new to this. You haven't had any days yet when two mods die. How many mods have you broken so far? Keep in mind that the average mod is not top quality. Many of them have a shorter life then we may think. Buttons break, wires break, contacts wear down, and lots of other things will happen. I've had mods die within a month and many have had them die in less time than that. On top of that, there is the threat that the gov't will clamp down very hard on the industry therefore making it very difficult and expensive to get mods. At the current prices, it makes sense to stockpile them to a degree. If one were to quit vaping, you can always sell them and recoup some cash.
In all these years I have only had one MOD break and that was due to ABUSE~! I dropped the fucking thing on the cement and exploded the battery door and although I was able to repair it for a while it did eventually fail completely. Replaced it but just one in over 4 years now.
I still have never experienced a mod breaking. Not even my SMOK stuff. I guess if you take care of your stuff, it'll lasts a while.
I have my RX200 and RX200S. The only issue with mine is that the Goon 1.5 won't read but it works fine with all my other RDA's. I think the Goon has a too long 510 pin.Yes, like with PC's most issues are the component behind the keyboard or failure to RTFM. I have read so many posts where a user decided to update the Firmware but there was NO Problem with it before and they Bricked it because they used the wrong Firmware. I am still using an RX200S I was told is garbage 4 years later and I dropped it so many times it really shouldn't work~!

My response was not intended in the "You don't need more than 1 mod because they don't break" scenario. I fully agree with you. One needs to have a few devices in case 1 breaks, battery dies, coils/tank needs rewicking or even just to keep in the car or at work.I've had 3 or 4 die; a couple for no apparent reason, a couple from dropping them, so bobnat is right. I can't tell you how many times i've heard "Yeah I was vaping and smoke free for x number of weeks/months, but then my mod/atty broke/I ran out of juice/other bullshit excuse so i went back to smoking." If one is SERIOUS about never smoking again, one MAKES SURE that one is well set for hardware... because this shit attracts 'shit happens" LIKE NOBODY'S FUCKING BUSINESS, and you can't just pick up the exact thing you like to vape, the same way you can pick up smokes in so many stores.
And no, I'm not "addicted" to vaping. I had the flu in Feb, didn't vape for nearly 2 wks, and that was fine, didn't even miss it. But once I started feeling better, I started thinking how nice it would be to smoke... AFTER 4 FUCKING YEARS WITHOUT SMOKING, because THAT addiction never fucking gives up. So I started vaping again, so that I NEVER SMOKE AGAIN.
Know what you're talking about, before you try tearing down others.

My previous reply was to @SteveS45 just to say that my mod didn't break and definitely not a response to the OP. I would never tell someone to keep just 1 mod for the same reasons you express.
I would like to apologise. I should have been more clear about that.

Well, I went back later and realized that my reply was actually to @Soupy1957, not so much you, and what bobnat said is right on the money, Soupy's new to this and has no idea what he's talking about, if he thinks 3 mods makes him addicted to vaping, or that 20 mods is too many -- some folks round here have A HUNDRED, and apparently live in a vape shop, to judge from their stocks of attys and ejuice. I might feel that that is excessive, but I guess they feel they need that much, so whatever floats their boats, right?
I've actually had probably better luck than a lot of others, with 3 or 4 that have died or become unreliable over 4 1/2 yrs; even my most-fave mods, my Minibooks, some don't find reliable at all, but I just love 'em. *shrug* One of mine that died for no apparent reason was a Kanger kbox mini, and others love those to pieces. *shrug*

Just last night I used 3 mods with dead batteries. Forgetting to charge a device happens, forgetting a device at home happens and its cases like these that can tempt you to just have '1 cigarette'.
Pass through is a must have feature as well as on board charging. Most people including myself generally don't carry chargers when out and about or at work. In situations like these you only realise how important on board charging is. Carrying a power bank and a USB cable with is more convenient than carrying a 2 bay charger and looking for a plug point.This is why having a device with Pass Thru Charging is a must for a recent smoker who quit. Saved me so many times when all I had was my iStick TC40W and got stuck on site until 2AM or later. Driving home the battery dies so popped the 12V Mini USB charger in the accessory port and vaped all the way home. Vaped with it plugged into the USB on the PC or Laptop while I was closing out the Work Order and vaped in bed watching TV to hopefully fall asleep~! That same MOD I was told not to use the Pass Thru or the USB is still kicking and is my Back Up carry~! 4 Years later.

I have one of these 10 000mAh capacity power banks. What I like about this power bank was that it could do 2A Charging. The capacity is quite good and if you use a single battery device, 10 000 mAh can get you a few charges.Shit I forgot all about my power banks~! When I first quit smoking I bought a 4 slot USB Charging Adapter for the accessory 12V port in my vehicle~! So I could charge more than one Mark Ten XL or Logic battery~!

No, what I need is a new wife.You need to get your priorities right.
No, what I need is a new wife.
Some days I wish my wife was like a rebuildable RDA. Rip out the old coils and cotton, replace with more attractive features, put on a new drip tip and happy vapin! Unfortunately nobody has created a perfectly silent airflow tank with no spitback.
Well, I'm very blessed; I've vaped the same flavor since 2014
Blessed? Shit I change flavors so often during one day I am lucky if I vape the same one the same day~! Stuck in a rut comes to mind and also not able to accept change. Boring if you asked me................
I smoked Marlboro Reds for 40 years but I now vape multiple flavors even though I said I only wanted a Tobacco that tasted like a cigarette when I first quit. But after all this time you say it has been maybe you should finally get rid of that pack in your freezer. Like an alcoholic keeping a bottle of Scotch because it was 12 years old.................

You're lucky. I've had 3 die and dropped one. I've only broken two tanks though. Nowadays I only use RDAs, they're clumsy proof.

I just thought that with so many people who vape getting vapers tongue, vaping the same flavor constantly and for so long you probably have the worst case of it ever. Maybe that is why you need to use double or triple the normal amount of flavorings.
I had my Alien shit out on me yesterday. It was my most used mod. I think I've had it a year and a half.I dropped it twice on asphalt this weekend (Not the first time lol). I swapped out the batteries and it never turned back on. I miss it already. I'm definitely getting another or even couple more. It was a solid workhorse for me.I still have never experienced a mod breaking. Not even my SMOK stuff. I guess if you take care of your stuff, it'll lasts a while.

There’s a young man at work who was part of my inspiration in going to vaping, who has gone back to cigarettes. You don’t know how discouraged I was to see that!
Yeah even some of my friends quit and their reason was "I just needed/wanted to smoke". Nowadays with nicotine salts and pod devices, transitioning to vaping is easier than before but you also need the willingness to want to quit smoking cigarettes.Yes, I do know how upsetting that can be. Had a buddy who was vaping and had quit for a while when I saw him smoking. I asked him WTF and his answer was WTF I don't care because of Blah, Blah Blah. Sucks but at least that will never be me.
