I haven't been posting much lately. All summer I've been saving for the doctor. Now she wants me to spend even more money on tests! So, I've been staying away from anything that would tempt me to spend money. But, now I'm becoming even more concerned with simplifying. I mainly post when I'm feeling fairly relaxed and spontaneous. The rest of the time, I'm feeling tense and kind of buried under everything. I don't do or say much during those times. So far as vape related stuff, what weighs me down is vapocalypse. Trying to figure out what to stock up on besides nicotine. But, at those times I'm feeling too weighed down to function properly. Which means too stressed to really learn how to rebuild and figure out what rebuilding stuff is going to work best for me. Let's face is: atomizers are the biggest question right now. I already have nic. Batteries are not a real issue. So, all that's left is atomizers. For right now, I'm trying to simplify my life. For vaping, that means: - cleaning and putting away my clearos to only pull out when I want to play with rebuilding - pulling out some of my old stuff (801's for now) and using them as my primary back-ups while I play with them and experiment to see if I want to even keep them or maybe even stock up on the cheap ones that are on clearance - finding a painless way to go through all my old atties to find any that aren't good enough to keep. Too often, while reading on ECF, I become overwhelmed. My goal in life is to find contentment. That requires simplifying enough to not feel weighed-down, enough to feel relaxed and spontaneous. That's why I've stopped working on my websites. They've become too much of a chore instead of a pleasure. Of course, part of the pressure on my websites is worrying about who sees them and, therefore, trying to walk the fine line between the need for self-expression and the need for privacy. The one thing that doesn't last well is batteries. So, anything that requires a battery that may get hard to find needs to get used up, sold, or thrown out. That means 801s. They don't even work well on other batteries with an adapter. Everything else I have will work with 510 or 808 batteries. Or on a mod with or without an adapter. Where the hell did all my 801 autos go??? They're not in the 801 shoebox! FOUND THEM! I used to keep track of all my purchases, for a year or so. Now all I can do is estimate what I've spent by going through emails. I've averaged somewhere between $3 and $3.50 a day. That was mostly in spurts: start-up, experimenting/new start-up when what I was using didn't seem to be doing it anymore, and stocking up for vapocalypse. Why have I gone so crazy with vape supplies? First, I became dissatisfied with my 306s, bad batches. Then, I no longer like my favorite juice. So, off a'hunting! Then, I found I liked the EMDCC. Since it's dual-coil, I started focusing on batts/mods that could handle dual-coil better. Then, there's the usefulness of VV. Makes a world of difference. Then, to top it all off, vapocalypse and the need for mechs and RBAs. dishes finish Melinda's book and start next nicotine wash clothes grocery list
