    Default Wow 4357 analogs avoided in 72 days.....!

    I want to thanks the guy/guts that allow us to have the banner:

    "I've been vaping since...."

    I never count how many analogs I was smoking in such a short term! Every time I see that banner in my post, I thanks e-cigs!

    Happy Vaping!

    And you've only saved four bucks, this banner must take into account how much you spend on vaping products :P

    Keith.

    No, not too much... the thing is that in Colombia is very very cheap to smoke. I can buy a national brand pack for $0.30 and for example a Marlboro, Lucky, etc for $0.90 a pack.

    Wow, reminds me of SE Asia for ciggy prices, that would make it much harder to quit, granted the average wage usually makes up for that!

    Wow you probably spend more on e-cigs. I don't know if I would have quit at those prices.

    Well, It seems that I have save about $4 in the last 72 days........ Wait I forgot to discount my new M201!!

    No, in Colombia we are not going to save money at all, I am selling the e-cig here and people who buy it are from the upper class, that are concerned about their health more than in the price.

    The medium and lower classes do not have access to this kind of products at all. The minimum salary here is about $220 per month and 90% of the working force in this country is on that level of salary.

    Only the 4% of the working force makes more than $900 per month.

    We do not know how we can live with that kind of income, but we live... and a lot of things are more expensive than in the USA. For example..a car will cost here about 150% more than in the USA.

    Best for all of you and I hope you some day come to Colombia!

    Glad you like the banners, it's me that created them. I'm constantly amazed at the 'analogs' avoided figure on my own banner - it just seems frighteningly high for someone that didn't consider themself a 'heavy' smoker!!

    Keep your eyes peeled for an update to the banners coming soon!

    I was in Bogota some years ago (17 maybe) and American cigs were illegal. The Colombian brands were very cheap but tasted like mierda. As I recall, the most popular brand was Marlboro. Illegal, but available on every street corner at a fraction of the U.S. price.

    Glad to see that the minimum wage has come up!

    I'm just curious how the money saved is calculated in those sig banners. Is it just a function of analogs and cost per pack? Or is cost of vaping factored in as a function? Based on the ones I've seen, it does not appear that the cost of vaping is a factor; which is misleading, b/c the banner appears to say: "b/c I vape, I save $xx since I'm not smoking analogs". But vaping adds an expense and should be factored in. Had I quit cold turkey, then its realistic.
    I apologize for the hijack; but I'm a numbers guy and I like trying to understand people's calculations.

    Right now you need to manually set the cost of vaping by setting an artificially high 'cost of kit' value. The new version, which is under development, will include a 'monthly upkeep' figure to be taken into account as well.
