Spending too much?

[Boognish]

I just hit the 9 month mark today since my last ciggy. I would have spent $2500-$3000 in that time on smokes. Yes, I've probably spent close to that on pv's, batteries, chargers, juice, attys, cartos, tanks, etc... But I'm not smoking, I feel great, and I have many tools (toys) to show for all my spending instead of smelly clothes and inevitable future health problems. Now my spending has decreased drastically and I have a pretty good system in place to get my daily vape on. vaping has made quitting smoking easier than I could've ever imagined. I could've spent twice as much as I did in the last 9 months and it would've still been worth it. You can't put a price on your health.

I consider my old budget for cigarettes my new budget for vaping. I don't think I'm doing too bad with sticking to that plan. I didn't quit smoking to save money but I suppose that will eventually happen. There's only so much stuff I that I think I can find use for in my inventory.

I agree! I am amazed at what i use to spend on cigs! I know have a handful of PV's and use them all My kids love me using them even more then I do

I have spent too much but still want a Provari someday. The $200 a month I used to spend on smokes helps offset my vape craze right now.

Yeah - I have often wondered if the ease in which people quit smoking by vaping isnt because of the retail therapy.

When I started with vaping, I made an agreement with my wife that I would stay within my previous smoking budget.

So I don't consider myself as spending anything extra. I'm spending the same money on something different is all.

Holy hell, are you vaping gold-infused e-liquid?

As my wife will readily agree with, I'm not familiar with this concept of spending too much on vaping or break even points

It seems that every time I think I'm set something new and shinny catches my eye.
Unlike cigarettes, this is really what makes this a hobby and adds some fun to it.

I just have a lot of mods and pv's, some of which I will probably sell soon. Also, I have stockpiled juice, cartos, attys, and RBA gear. I really don't have to buy much of anything for quite a while.
