    Default Breakdown: How I Spent $432 in 21 days.

    I received my first kit from cignot approx 20.5 days ago, and since I’ve spent a total of $432 on my electronic cigarette hobby. Sure, it’s a lot of money to me and others, but I’ve gladly forked it out.


    20 days later and I have not smoked a single analog. Two of my brothers purchased their own kits from Cignot and both are now smoking approx 5 analogs a week, maybe less. A coworker of my brothers purchased a kit and is waiting on USPS. Last of all, a long time friend and his brother have yet to smoke an analog since they received their kits from Cignot 14 days ago.

    I chose to put in the extra effort, do the extra research, and spend the extra cash, all in order to gain the experience. I’m sure I didn’t have to spend this much, but I wasn’t looking to cut corners.

    Hope this helps!!!!





    -First 510 Kit and juice from Cignot - $81 (Money well spent)

    -Syringes from JRS Medical – $9 (Waste Of Money) Insulin syringes do not work well w/ ejuice. Larger gauge needle necessary.

    -Canned air (Blow Off) – $5 (Waste Of Money) Very unnecessary since it is much more effective and easier to blow flooded atty orally.

    -Syringe from Amazon.com – $9 (Money well spent)

    - Tasty Vapor – $49
    - Watermelon Strawberry (36mg) – (Waste Of Money) I personally couldn’t stand the taste.
    - Tobacco Menthol (0mg) - (Waste Of Money) I personally couldn’t stand the taste.
    - Café Macchiato (24mg) – (Money well spent)

    - Strictlyejuice.com Order - $14
    -Blue Foam (Waste Of Money) Pieces of foam were cut too small
    -Tweezers (Waste Of Money) Unusable tweezers
    -Pen Style Case (Money well spent)
    -Metal Case (Waste Of Money) Couldn’t fit a fully assembled 510.

    - Blue Foam from Petco – $7 (Money well spent)

    - 510 Kit and more juice from Cignot - $55 (Money well spent)

    - Silver Bullet batteries and charger – $115 (Money well spent)

    - Extra Atties - $21(Money well spent)

    - Tasty Vapor – $39 Waiting on USPS
    - Plain PG (N/A)
    - Plain VG (N/A)
    - Dropper Bottles (Money well spent)
    - Tobacco Flavor (48mg)

    - Ever Clear PGA - $19 (N/A) Waiting on USPS

    - Lorann Flavoring from Ebay - $9 (N/A) Waiting on USPS

    Total $432

    Feel free to ask any questions.

    I've spent quite a bit but with no regrets. I think back to all of the wasted money on nicotine gum, Inhibitors(pills), nicotine inhalers, etc and coupled with the fact that THEY never lead to me quitting analogs, I thank god for the PVs!! I've been off analogs since the end of September and my overall health has improved drastically! No smell, No Chronic Bronchitis or Pre-Emphysema wheezing and, MOST OF ALL...it feels great to know that perhaps there's a chance that I can get my PINK LUNGS back.

    Good luck to all and VAPE ON!

    Waiting on the Super T Super Six and the Juice Box!!

    'Cause I'm in it for Life!...and, remember, if you smoke analogs...YOU WILL DIE. I know, I know...we all die...but I don't want to be in my golden years draggin' along an oxygen tank while wheezing, coughing, spitting up who-knows-what, feeling dizzy, and sleeping horribly.

    Wish all the best.

    Good to hear! The money we spend cannot even compare to the medical bills we would have incurred!

    ha i've spent about the same.

    started with blucigs-59.99
    ran out n ordered another pack of carts-25.00
    bought puresmoke at a local smokeshop 39.99
    refils since then 60.00
    JC e-liquid 30.00 with shipping
    vp2 from dietsmokes that came without the battery n atomizers-140.00(2day air)
    Tornado EN-I kit & 10mil liq-99.99 with shipping.

    only one i feel ripped of for is the vp2 i couldnt use because the guy from dietsmokes.com forgot to include the batteries/atomizers/manual.
    so i havnt even been able to use it, or to see if it even works.

    so yeah my total has been around 450.00

    this is in the past 3 weeks

    really expensive but atleast im smoke free.

    I daren't add mine up :lol
    Just a thought here:
    No juice is a waste of money cos its useful to know what you DON'T like - and, sometimes they taste different after a while. Maybe its our tastebuds, maybe its the juice, idk, all I DO know is that lqiuids I thought were yuk or couldn't taste when i got them, now taste ok or even great.
    Except today which is one of my 'can't taste anything' days Yesterday I could taste lovely flavors and smells, today, nothing lol. It seems my poor lil' buds still aren't operating at 100% and take days off to recover or something

    You seem like a great ambassador for PV - seems like everyone around you is a convert!


    510eGo and THE BUZZ (510) with TV, DIYFlavorshack juices! Drink more water!!
