Oh yes! A new xbox or PS3 game keeps showing up every couple of months and I get the "What? Oh I've had that!" LOL
Isnt it still cheaper than smoking?
Oh those games? I just farted out some magic fairy dust today and were there when the smoke cleared!!! I swear honey!!!
He's just jealous that you got something awesome and he's stuck with a cigalike.... Your money, your PV...enjoy every vape.
Trust me, he will come along, I think he's still kidding himself and trying to make you feel bad. He hasn't quit smoking yet and sees it as a threat. Once he changes his way of thinking and actually prefers the experience of vaping more than smoking, it's gonna click for him. Do whatever you need to stay off the analogs, he will appreciate the upgraded equipment once he takes the next step.
Good luck to you and yours!!!
This ^^. I totally agree with this. If how you spend your personal piggy bank isn't usually a bone of contention between you and DH, I would think that he perceives some threat or is perhaps experiencing a little guilt.
It's irritating that he would begrudge you something as small as a new pv, but I would just do my best to shrug it off and look forward to your new setup.
I think you will be thrilled with your new eGo and soon the hubby will be lemming one for himself.
If you held out until your birthday and used gift money instead of spending just from saving on analogs you should be congratulated. Many of us went from analogs to disposables to a cig-like to buying up all sorts of PV's and accessories right out of the gate, often without considering how long we would use it for and what would happen when the next great prospect jumped out at use from a post or ad or vendor site.
I went from analogs to disposable and then rechargeable cig-like (knowing zip about what was out there and making a bad choice on both of those) back to analogs (because the first hardware was so bad) until I found an ego -c and really learned what vaping was about. Then bought a Joye 510 T simply to use when not home to avoid odd looks, then got several more ego-c's and then went through a couple of VV's before I got the ego VV2. Of course during this I tried out different carts and clears and tanks and dual and single coils, dual chambered and so on.
Suffice to say your husband, according to mine, is a luck man that you had the willpower to hold off until you had gift money and then spent it on something you had really researched and knew what the best setup for you (and one apparently many agree is one of the best).
And its not like your 'cig-like' was a waste of money or you plan to throw it out now that you have a new primary - the vaper motto I am sure you know by now is "Always have a backup and always have a backup for your backup". Plus there are probably social situations you might be more comfortable using the cig-like rather than the twist - or your husband will prefer being seen with you (mine had trouble in the beginning with my public appearances with a strange looking device).
And probably the vendor you got the cig like one from isn't going to give money back on it now that you have been using it - but in the scheme of things, even if they did, it would eventually be spent on some other device so you would have a backup.
Obviously, you got the gift because someone or someones wanted you to get something you wanted just for you and while they probably don't realize they also helped give you better health and more birthdays in the future that you may never have had if you did not have a PV or 2 or 3 ...
So my hubby and my birthdays are very close to each other. I got $100 and decided I'm tired of the cigalike and ordered myself a eGo twist kit with kanger evod's plus an all metal vivi nova tank for my citrus flavors. He got super mad at me and was saying I should return the cigalike and get my money back and why did I bother buying it if I'm going to spend money on this other one. I am very upset. The thing is that I vaped in the past with the stupid carts and burned foam etc and just couldn't do it but now with all the better equipment I am excited to bring it up and enjoy vaping. He loves his cigalike and refuses to try anything else. Also he refuses to quit smoking too and I haven't smoked an analog in over 3 weeks. Am I wrong? It was my money and am going to use the cigalike for back up and short trips etc. I just don't get it. I have never discouraged him from spending his birthday money on what he wants. ...?![]()
