So I made my personal goal of resisting the add to cart button for a month, after a few people got chopsy and said I was becoming addicted to buying gadgets for vaping. So many times I loaded up and hovered over the proceed to checkout button. But vaping cost me nothing for the last month, a 100% saving on the money I spent when smoking!! Now how long before I load up the basket with a cheeky new mod, it is Christmas after all!!!

Forget about the break even date, you will get to it eventually.
Life is uncertain, eat dessert first, lol

I was never overly concerned about the break even date, as I was always hundreds in the red, but now it's so tantalisingly close it's tempting to push on and try and make it at least once and frame a picture of my counter to prove its do-able!! Although I've nearly crumbled to the temptation to purchase so many times in the last month I seriously doubt I'd make another five weeks!!
I reached my break even date in the first month. In 2 months I've spent maybe $200 in vaping gear, mostly in cartomizers, clearomizers and atomizers. Being an 808 user gets pricey when ordering from multiple vendors every 2 weeks. I spent an average of $210.00 a month in cigarettes.
It feels real good to actually be saving money. Keep up the good work!

Keep up the good work!I've e never been near mine as I used to smoke rolling tobacco, so purchases of any size would massively increase the break even date. I'm no below £100 in debt which is the best I've been since my first month. There again I don't want to vape all my stock as I won't have back ups for my back ups in five weeks!!
I know its tough what with all the neat stuff out there
I want a Vamo, eVic and an iTaste MVP..this next payday I'm going to try to get the Vamo and the MVP, the eVic will have to come later, lol
There are just so many options with new stuff coming out all the time..it can be hard to resist going totally vapecrazy!

They are all wants as well rather than needs. My lavatube has to date been 100% reliable, and I have various ego batteries for back up and a couple of PCC'S for if times become really desperate. But the VAMO and 20% discount I've found for the eVic are proving to be testing me!!
my break even is somewhere around aug 2130.
a month without hitting add to cart? your my new hero lol

That cracks me up....I thought I was the only one that had figured out how long it would take to break even....but my health is still worth more than any money I've spent on vaping...consider your juices etc. like vitamins, heh
I'd decided right from the beginning to build a spreadsheet that tallied all of my expenditures vs potential smoking losses. I kept it honest, only bought what was absolutely necessary (including that absolutely necessary gallon each of PG & VG) and in about four months I was in the black. I must admit that I drool continually over the "show us pictures of your stuff" pages and I check out the classies faithfully several times a day but I haven't bought anything. Oh, I also made sure that SWMBO has the final say in any and all purchases. So I'm not in the red anymore..... at all..... nowhere near it in fact....
I swear, I'm the most depressed person on ecf......

I've quit smoking roughly three months. I've spent nearly $1,000 on vaping stuff. Only now I'm slowing down quite a bit, haven't bought anything in two weeks, lol. I would say 60% was on juice alone.
I started a spreadsheet, but frankly it scared me when I was updating it daily with purchases, so stopped. Think ill try and hang it out a bit longer as I have enough consumables to last me a month or two easily, anything now would be gluttony, although the eVic is calling my name when I sleep.
