Breakdown: How I Spent $432 in 21 days.

[skydvejam]

I have a story that is sort of the same, but very different, let me explain a few things first.
I am currently deployed to the middle east, I smoke analogs, and also use snus and snuff.
Anyways where I order my snuff from had some E-cigs, so I figured I would order a disposable from them, and started researching and ordered a few other disposable e-cigs from other places. Well the first one sucked, but the second one was a lot better, I loved it.
Then of course the battery ran out, so I was stuck again with analogs. Well I am close enough to heading out of here that I did a LOT of research.
I have got two 510 kits.
2 SB's, used with attys, both 3.7 and 6v battery's and chargers for 170, killer deal.
2 usb passthroughs, everyone talks about the joys of 5v vaping, I gotta see it for myself.
1 PCC, see another in the future maybe, we are outdoors a lot
About 15-20 spare addys, from a few manufactures to see what ones work best and last me the longest.
So many juices, about 12 different manufactures stuff 1-6 bottles from each one.
DYI, I love to cook, and I work with numbers all day long, and being new, well I have no idea how strong me or the wife will need it. She is a light to moderate smoker for just a few years, me heavy for about 23 years.
Anyways, about enough DYI for a long long time I suppose, flavors, injectors, mixing cups and of course nic juice from 36-100 mg.
In all after looking at it all, about 700 bucks spent for what should last about a year, but I know I will be getting more flavors for sure, and trying new things, I love gadgets, and hate smoking...
Did I get a little obsessive, maybe, but then again, I have about 4-5 hundred cigars that I have over here, and cigs, I figured out that on the low side it costs us about 4,000 dollars a year.
Not to mention I will be able to run so much easier, I run 2-7 miles a day, 3-5 days a week, I am really feeling smoking now, I used to run 12 minute 2 mile runs, now I am out of breath doing 14 minute 2 mile runs. I know some is age, but a lot has got to be the smoking.
Whew sorry that is so long. But if you look at the analog cost, it is a deal, then the health issues. Well it has me sold.

My totals for quitting smoking since November:

Two boxes of Nicorrette to try to quit smoking: $100 (waste)
Mini e-cig from local smokeshop w/5 pre-filled carts and USB charger: 24.99 (half-waste, now it's my backup for dripping)
Starter kit from Cignot with USB PT + 2 liquids: 62.00 (WOOT!)
Sample juice from eliquidxpress: 19.99 (half-waste, only liked three of the five)
2 large bottles juice Tasty Vapors: 30.00 (WOOT!)
Replacement attys from cignot I ruined from tweezering out the wicking material plus 2 more juices: 39.50 (Being shipped now)
Replacement battery from cignot when I lost one at SuperBowl party: 12.00 (Being shipped now)

Total: 243.98

THEN, my father always said he would reimburse me for money I spent quitting smoking. LOL, I am 47 years old, but he told me this every year since I was in college.

So I asked him for $200 last week and he sent it to me, so I am really only out about $43.00 total in quitting smoking.

Seriously... I just ordered a bunch of stuff. I don't think I've broken the $300 level yet but I'm close.

I could add it up... Nah! I don't want to know.

That is about what I have spent since October of last year.

3 cignot 510 kits and a PCC.
Tornado kit
5 pack of attys
juice from Johnson Creek, Halo, Cignot and Electronicstix.

I smoked 2.5 packs a day so vaping has been way cheaper for me since I was into analogs for around $10 a day.

My next few orders are going to be pretty pricey though. Next up is the 25 atty multipack from puresmoker and the tornado 5 pack from TW.

I also want to try the Rath juices and Tasty Vapor next.

[BuddyGreen]

lets see.

Smoke Anywhere 51-Trio from the mall Kiosk - $130 (BURNNNN! OUCH!)
4 extra packs of carts while i waited for my 510 - $40(IT HURTS!)
510 starter pack + extra battery + extra atty + 4 dekang liquids + 1 rath + some 6ml bottles from LiteCig = $93 (hey thats not so bad!)

PCC & USB passthru from cignot = $52
Halo NewPure w/ coupon = $19.99
Blue foam/tweezers/case/extra carts from striclyejuice = $10.65
6 attys from cignot.com = 55.00

400.64. and i dont see me slowing down anytime soon

[TnR]

So far we've spent 225.00 for the two of us. Two Tornado starter kits from TW and juice from TV.

But when our income tax check comes we have a couple of big orders planned

[BuddyGreen]

yeaaaaaaaa i'm gonna order a chuck with some of my tax return

[TnR]

Ok well, we've also bought blue foam from the pet store, a couple pairs of pointy tip tweezers, a big liquid meds syringe, and a little 1.00 nail grooming kit with tiny scissors that are great for cutting the blue foam So like 15.00 more on that stuff.

[BuddyGreen]

and as i see it, better health = priceless
