Seems like your biggest cost is the juice. Get into DIY and spend like 15 cents a day on juice and your little blog will be devoid of entries for months at a time.

WizardLabs sells Nicotine solution and PG on the cheap.
You can get VG from Walmart in the First Aid section by the pharmacy labeled simply Glycerin. It's USP grade VG for 3 bucks for easily a 6 months supply.
The Perfumer's Apprentice has the cheapest flavors but they are also not that great. Many you will find are utterly unvapeable. I would recommend Cappella's over TPA. Stay away from Lorann. Flavourart is good stuff but hands down the most expensive place to get it.
 
Thanks very much for the info! DIY has been on my list of things to do, but I always get sucked into tasty juices. :/

Wow. Scanning the list, I was expecting a few grand at the bottom.

Nicely done list! I think I'm going to do something similar.
 
Thank you. I thought this was a good place to keep track & also share with others.
