Actually some of us did make analogs a hobby. Cool ashtrays, flavored smokes, fancy cases, interesting breath mints, different ways to roll our own, etc...
And that cost more than vaping. As for me, the bills get paid and animals taken care of, food is on the table and, I have the things I need for hunting when the season opens and, meat processing to pack the deer I will get this fall BEFORE I stockpile my vaping needs for the year. Once all of that is done, if I've got some extra cash now and then, I get to add something cool or fun, or just something I want to try to my collection.
