Things I regret buying:

-HP laptops (They were good at one time but almost now all trash as the 2000 was nice budget 2gb of ram and the sleekbook with it's decent AMD APU and a case of what 'could have been' mobo went right after I had bought it for $160 just so much I put into it and sat there dying HP should of gave me a heads up about it's RAM problem the model has but no)

-A hacked PS3 back in late 09 (A like new slim on the market with cfw and what did I get? Nothing, it was fired overheated and somehow was playable to a certain decree with only digital games so couldn't play most of my games I put on there because the hdd was bad. should of tested but I was dumb back then and wanted a ps3 badly)

-GBA micro (at the time I was still a teenager so mind you, I was not happy with how small it was and wanted a DS lite but I got this and I didn't know about flashcarts otherwise I would of still kept it no clue how much they were going for as a collector wanted to buy it for a good price and I ended up giving it away then it was stolen ugh)

Some shitty Chinese 50 dollar tablets for my mom and little brother. The power button broke on one of them like a month later, good thing the eBay seller gave me a 3 month warranty, and replaced it, which was nice.

Skyrim. What happened was I had $50 and I was at Walmart. I had the option to buy the official Pro Controller (those things have great feel and build quality!) for $50, but I decided to buy Skyrim for $20 and a lame third-party Pro Controller with the rest. I came to resent both of those purchases.

I regret getting Chibi Robo Zip Lash
And I remember all the hype for the game given the older games were probably better.

I'm currently regretting all the food I get for work instead of making lunches. I am trying to pay off my credit card and it's not helping one bit.

I should probably keep it at home where I can't spend on it.

Lol I have the same problem. I buy lunches most of the times instead of making a lunch XD

A mini flashlight called the Streamlight Nano (takes four tiny batteries - that cost more than the damn flashlight). To be fair, it's a bright little thing for something the size of my little finger, but I didn't use it much for fear that I'd drain the batteries. And then I bought a tray of the little things, and never used them as well.

A cheap folding knife when I was at the local anime/nerd convention. Pretty little thing, but the screws came out after an emergency doorknob removal. (I was cooking downstairs, and my doorknob pulled out of the door, and I literally had to break it down with just a leatherman tool and a pocket knife.)

The 7 Year Pen - a plastic pen that holds an insert with 7 years worth of ink. Problem is that the plastic threads are wearing out and the metal nib is falling off. Had to fix it with teflon tape, but seriously, that was a bad choice. However, it's a very smooth pen - I'd probably ask the company to make one in all metal...

I prefer Nitecore to Streamlight.
Of course I wound up buying like seven of them before finally finding the perfect light for me. (MT10C)
For a while I regretted that, since they're between $40-$80 each, but I wound up giving the others away as Christmas gifts.

I ended up with the MH10 (perfect size, and I could charge it by itself) and the teeny tiny Nitecore Tube. I also have a Thrunite T10T, but I'm worried about losing the damn thing instead - my dad uses it more than I do.

Good choices. In your case I can see why the built-in charging would be the way to go. Since I've been vaping for three years I already had a Nitecore D2 charger and numerous 18650/18350 cells, so that's the direction I went in.
I do plan on getting the new Tube UV to use with my Bondic epoxy because the UV light that comes with their kit is complete crap.

...Battleborn digital for PS4. I dont dislike the game, but my internet sucks so much and I cant really play with my friends... kinda defeating the purpose of getting the game.
