Hi all
What is your vaping list of top NEEDED things versus WANTED things?
Needs are things you really consider you do need, which you cannot easily do without. Wants are things that you think are nice to have. You don't really need them but if you could have them, it would be nice.
I will kick it off
What I need
- a reliable constant supply of juices I like. I vape around 5ml per day, so around 150ml per month. That means about 5 bottles of 30ml. I have found a few juices I like, mostly VM juices. At R120 per bottle, that means 5 of those (or around R600) per month and I am done. I have enough variety not to get bored.
- the occasional purchase of replacement coils for my mini PT2. I have learnt how to stretch them with @CraftyZA's vodka cleaning trick and to recoil/re-wick them thanks to RipTripper. But I'd rather have a new batch of coils once in a while.
- the occasional restocking of some Kanthal wire and cotton - but this is relatively infrequent and inexpensive.
- a way to convert my IGO-L dripping experience into a more sustainable and convenient vaping solution. The answer here for me looks to be the REO. But knowing me, this is not going to be cheap since I like to have at least two flavours on demand at all times.
Do I really need more juice varieties? No, not really. See below
What I want
- to sample way more juices to find more gems like Five Pawns Bowden's Mate. This is going to be very expensive. I will need to ration myself according to the budget I allow for this. Not yet set. This is not a need, its a want. I don't really need it - but it would be nice to have a few more gems in the cupboard.
- One of those LUC chargers - as @johanct says, so that I know when my battery needs replacement and can't hold the max voltage
- Another SVD type mod and another IGO-L type dripper so I can drip two flavours concurrently. But this depends on whether I get the REO/(s).
- The Aspire Nautilus tank - just to have it and try it - also I quite like the 5ml size for home use on my favourite flavours. Less refilling and fiddling
- The Afriville mod when it comes out
- a high quality mech mod that I can put down on the table - unlike the Nemesis that has to be locked with the ring.
I will come back to these lists in a month's time to see how things have progressed.
I think this thread can help in a few ways. Not only does it help us to gather our thoughts but it also allows for others with experience to advise. It may also help retailers to better understand what we need and want as customers...
