VAS: Vape Aquisition Syndrome The malady we love to hate

can we really call Christmas shopping "VAS"??!




😋
Given that for most people Christmas is not about Christ, I think it is perfectly reasonable to consider the holiday shopping season "Acquisition season". That is certainly how the retailers and the manufacturers see it. So do the shipping companies and, to whatever extent, the hospitality industry. So if you're one who tends to feel guilt about VAS, stop it. You're just like everybody else. We are all somewhere on this spectrum too...

Also, if you don't mind whips the Seventh Floor Silver Surfer (and the sssv, and soon the DBV) now have a heater cover that turns it into a ball vape, with all the benefits: lower temps, better flavor, huge, cool, fluffy hits. Great direct or through water, the SSV has a glass wand that can be used instead of the whip. Totally solid workhorse, well-built and long-lasting, can run safely 24/7. It's not new but it's a top performer.
What's the draw restriction on that like?

Oh, let me tell you, the TM2 is a very fine product. We can call it "transportational."

Not inexpensive, to be sure. But...

So here's an update on my VAS therapy and the little moments of success:

I really loved the Dynavap M+, so much so that I decided I needed a backup in case anything bad every happens. So I had a spare M+ in its original packaging, which seemed kind of redundant since I stuck the Tempest head on my MH Revolve Gen2 (and got a Wand to power it).

Bang! Sold!

The M7XL never really showed me why I needed it. The relationship did improve after the first dates, but true love never developed.

Bang! Sold!

I do consider it a success that I never felt an urge to get a Hyperdyn and since I already have a Tempest head I also do not feel any FOMO regarding the Thermal Hyper Cap. Time for a little happy dance!

Bang. Success!

Of course, there is no guarantee for progress every day. At some point after getting the Tempest head I started having thoughts of "What if something happened to my Tempest head?". Since I really, really love the Tempest and considering the fact that Mad Heaters had run out long ago, I quickly snagged an all green complete Tempest from a german shop.

That is not just very VASsy, it is also very convenient: I have the head set to half-bowl and the green one to full-bowl.

Other than that, I don't feel the need to acquire anything right now. I *am* interested in the YLL Aerolite, but feeling no rush to get it once it hits the market. Investing in some high end shit does seem to help in the long run.

Far be it from me to suggest that you will travel the same path that I have, but I will admit that several times during the course of my vaping career starting in 2014 I really believed I had absolutely everything that I needed and I could stop worrying about what was coming out. And that might even have worked if I left FC and never read these threads that draw me in. I mean, the Lotus was all I needed, and that was 2015. I have gone through that several times since with RBT vapes and the TMs and various butane/IH vapes culminating in the Tempest. The truth is once i began vaping and my accoutrements became a hobby rather than just a means to an end, there was no way (for me) to stop the progression and search for the "best" vape. I won't say it hasn't been fun, but damn its been kinda pricey. As long as I call it a hobby, I can rationalize that more easily. :rolleyes:

Once in a galaxy far, far, away, I managed to open a vape business, and that was the Genesis... the business was closed, but the syndrome remained.
Sorry to hear your vape business didn't work out. You're in the right place if you suffer from the same malady we all do. Vaping is definitely a passion of mine.

What vapes did you sell and what are your favorites? Also, if you don't mind my asking, what were the reasons for closing the business?
