How fast does your collection of vape gear grow?

[smacksy]

Its amazing his much money I've spent just on mods since I started vaping a year ago coming this Dec 12th..4 Provari's, 4 R91's, 3 mech mods from Bay City Vapor, and 12 various RDA's..+ $75 a month on juice...
By quitting smoking I thought I was supposed to save money vaping..don't look like its working out for me that way at all...lol

Rebuildables, about 3-5 per month.
Mods, 1-2 per month.

I have a lot of vape gear i could open my own brick and mortar soon and have enough stock to last months.

Oh, and batteries. ~90 000 mAh.

Depends on who you ask.

If you ask me, not fast enough.

If you ask the Mrs, to damn fast!

I've found myself buying something ecig related on a near weekly basis now, oh god black friday was a murder for my wallet. Halp

For me, I completely thinned out my collection down to just 2. Took awhile to figure out what I like the most, but outside of the new Svoemesto KF4 to replace my EhPro KFL+, I can confidently say I'm done with hardware. My goal is to thin down to just one setup by end of next year

Meisters Edge Hagenmeister 26650 w/ Cosmic Innovations Quasar @ .3ohm
Copper 18350 Anatolian w/ EHPro KFL+ @ 1.25ohm

I charge the 26650 once about every 4-5 days which is when it drops to around 3.8V, and the 18350 in the AM every other day before I go to work. Pretty thrilled since I used to be a 1.5pack a day smoker for 25+ years before vaping, and when I was at my vaping peak, I was probably going through about 5-7 ML of juice a day. Now, a 10ml bottle easily lasts me well over a week, maybe even longer.

Never vaped with the intention to cut back or quit altogether, but just ended up this way. Might have to do with the progression of nic reduction, I cant say for sure though. Will I quit vaping? I honestly don't think so, would like to keep it around to use once in a while like how some people have the occasional cigar or pipe tobacco

My husband reminds me almost daily (with deliveries) how I was amazed that the guy at the first shop I ever visited made vaping his LIFE!

I see how easy that is, now.

I just discovered rebuilding.

And with my nic levels dropping, my vaping is increasing.

 

[Spinhat]

I vaped for 8 months, then smoked for 3 (dumb ass) now vaping 1 month and already have 2 IPV3's and 5 new atty's, there has been many improvements with equipment when is away...

 

[Zamazam]

Mine grows way too fast. The mods and attys seem to get getting jiggy with each other and reproducing.

 

[GulfVapor]

In the past 2 weeks: EVOD 2 kit, then Aspire CC VV+ with Mini Nautilus tank, then for my lady a Itazte MVP 2.0 and I can think of the tank at the moment.

 

[ghost62]

'Leaps and bounds' comes to mind.
8 VV/VW box mods, 23 mechanicals, 7 kicks and a fleet of tanks (cartos, Aerotank Megas, an Atlantis and a slew of rebuildables) and all the gear to make the stuff work...
Now I've gone and ordered another IPV2 and a Cloupor mini...

 

[CaFF]

I'm about sorted with gear, but would like maybe a couple more mechs that I've never gotten around to getting, just because I want them. Or, a good deal on a VW wood box. Unless....there's always an "unless"....

Mostly down to maintenance and DIY supplies type stuff bought monthly, parts, etc.

 

[ghost62]

And I'm eyeing a Sigelei 100+...
The gold one looks sweet- reminds me of the color of an old LeBaron GTC I had back in the late 80's.

This was the type of car I had in the late 80's after my Charger was stolen. A XR4TI Merkur:

I always liked those but never had the chance to buy one. Seems every time one came up locally, I wasn't in a position to get another car- mostly because I'd just gotten a new one...

 

[Zamazam]

Those XR4TI's were fast and handled really well. Made the mistake of putting some sticky Pirelli's on it and then had to do 4 new tires 15 months later.

 

[zaroba]

hmm..I don't have a big collection of hardware yet
3 Nautilus tanks and 1 Atlantis tank
iTaste SVD, a Sigelei 100 watt box (which I wouldn't have gotten yet if the SVD could fire the Atlantis)
6 Efest 18650 35amp batteries, 4 Panasonic 18650 10amp batteries
I also picked up a few real cheap RDA clones on black friday, figuring they would be good to practice and learn on.

My juice collection is a different story though. Early Nov I planned to not buy any more juice for the rest of the year to use up some of the 300+ ml I already had. Then Black Friday hit with all the sales. Looked at every vendor from that excel sheet that listed coupon codes with more then 25% off or discounted sample packs and bought from more then half a dozen websites. Pretty sure I more then doubled my juice volume.


Hmm...quit smoking 3 months ago, saved around $250 so far.
Yea, I've spent way more then that on vape stuff so far. lol

Been vaping for a little over 6 months now,and fell head first into it,for mechs I have an AR mod,a StingrayX, a Panzer, Slug mod,Gripper.9 18650 batteries.I got a Plume Veil,Stillare,Tobh,MutationX,454 Big Block,Fogger V4,Aerotank,two Nautilus',Innokin 30S,several evods,emow,protank mini,cartos
and all the tools and supplies I needed to roll my own coils.
I have a MVP2 I gave my wife to get started.Then I got a Hana clone,and my Sigelei 100+ showed this week in the mail.
I tried my hand at building my own box mod,dual 18650's unregulated,Fat Daddy 510,Hammond box,turned out very nice for first attempt.
I got into DIY juice 2 months ago and I really enjoy making my own juices,with the mix masters on this site,they have made my journey alot less painful,and very tasty! All of this to quit a $6.00 a week dipping habit that got me off cigs 4 years ago!lol I love vaping and with the new advances being made,it's only getting better,and I don't see myself quitting anytime soon.

How do you like your Slug? Low voltage drop?

 

[VapinChevy]

How fast hmmm.... I don't have enough Fingers & Toes to count lol... Too fast I guess... Considering that BF & CM I spent enough lol... Little boy RDA/Darkhorse RDA/Dank Box Mod/Sigelei 100watt Plus/Custom Dual 18650 Box Mod/50-30ml Bottles of Juice/40-MXJO 30A Batteries *re-wrapped VTC's*/SPC Elite Box Mod etc.... @ $1,490.00 ... That's not my regular though, that was a treat

 

[MKPM]

An average of $400 a month

 

[Pav]

For me it's slow. But I just did pick up a 2puffs flow drip tip in brass. Cant wait for it patina

 

[VapedCrusader]

Now that I'm hitting my 2 year mark, it has slowed down quite a bit.. Mainly because of outside/ more important expenses.. but also because I no longer pull the trigger on items without doing ample research and reading positive reviews... something I lacked in the first year of vaping for sure..

I think when you first start out you just get so excited about this new hobby plus the 'idea' that you are saving $ from no longer buying smokes, that you just go all out with purchasing stuff.. not really knowing that most of it will just collect dust and then slowly realizing that you are spending a lot more $ in the short term. The hardest part is figuring out what type of device works best, and finding your all day vape.. Which is where most of my $ was spent in the first year..

I can't tell you how many times I bought things on a whim and was highly disappointed afterwards.. or buying every single new version that comes out of an item.. Being overly impatient certainly doesn't things either lol but I had tons of items just sitting in a drawer that never got used - I either PIF'ed them, or threw out after using maybe a couple times.. same thing with juice - I finally decided I needed to start making smarter decisions with my vape budget.

I went from having 15+ mods to now having 2.. and 30-40 various tanks.. to maybe 5 that I rotate between. That is enough for me at the moment and with rebuilding and not buying too much unneeded juice - I'm finally seeing the cost savings I initially expected.

When I hit my 2 years in Feb I do think I'm going to finally treat myself to a few things since I've hardly spent any $ on vape gear in the last year. I gotta say I do miss receiving vape mail every other day though

 

[rjmara]

It's a clone,but I love it,very beefy and looks great. I don't have a meter to check for voltage drop,and I don't recall Twisted420 doing a test on his either in his review of the authentic VS clone.I need to get a meter so I can check all my devices.

 

[rjmara]

And with my nic levels dropping, my vaping is increasing.

I know exactly what you're talking about,I recently dropped from 12 to 6 mg,and I keep a mod in my hand constantly.

 

[whitepony1986]

Yeahp i know how that is i wont from 24mg at . 6ohm to 2mg at . 17ohm
