Bananas, welcome to ECF! You're on the right track to cutting way back, or even quitting smoking. Yes, even with it costing more to start up - I know, I rolled my own from my favorite blue can, I know exactly where you're coming from. Everyone else talks about breaking even at some point in the near future after not buying $8-15 a pack cigs anymore.. Hell, my can lasted me most of a month, so trying to get away with only spending $35 a month on vaping? It'll be a while. So from one American Spirit smoker to another, here's my suggestion for how to start: Get yourself an eGo starter kit.Shop around, see what's available, but what you really want is two batteries, at least two clearomizers, a charger, and some juices.
(ECF only lets me post 1000 character messages, so this'll be broken up into chunks. Grr)
