Just ordered my 3rd ProVari and I'm still ahead of the game.
O.K. See, this is something I just can't get my mind around. Why 3? Yes, loved the Provari, great quality 15 watt capable regulated mod. But that's all she'll ever put out. When adding to a collection, I try to get some variety. My vape has gone beyond what the P could put out, so ended up selling it, she never got used anymore, and her insistent whining was getting on me nerves. lmao. at least I still get visiting rights, since I sold to a buddy at work, was his first Vape purchase.
As soon as I got into the green, I started spending again. BUT a few more purchases and I'll be done for awhile except for juice so in the long run, I will definitely save.
Good luck with that thought!! Really, I sincerely mean that. Thought I was there 3 mods, 4 rba's ago. And then one goes for months without anything catching their eye, and BOOM, all of a sudden, there's something in my email that is tempting to buy.
I think I'm done, I think I'm done,
I know I'm done, I KNOW I'm DONE!!!
I AM....Holy Crap, now that looks too Kewl!!! and it's only, can't hurt to have that. lmao
Not yet, unfortunately.
I've been at this blind for a few months and made some pretty crappy purchases, hopefully that changes now that I'm on here bugging everyone with questions.
This is why I always recommend to search what is available, find the style and type of gear that makes sense to you, makes one say, hey, that makes sense, I can do that, and then choose a quality product, that will provide years of service.
I've been vaping since Sept 2013 and would say that I've not exceeded my previous spending on cigs, but I'm definately not saving anything. But the trade off has been well worth it. I've settled in on what I have aquired (for now...) and the only cost I have is around $50/mth for e juice.
The actual cost of taking vape into my body is trivial. I make my own juice, build my own coils, so in consumables, juice, wick, wire, replacement batteries, I'm looking at maybe $250 for me to vape for a year.
Mods and re-buildable atomizers are non consumable aspects of vaping, and need to be looked at as long term investments. The better the gear, the better the vape, the longer it lasts, the more economical cents it makes.
Like other newbies, I'm still in the red, but I hope to eventually get into the black! BTW, someone should come up with a signature graphic for counting how much has been spent vaping. That might help ease some of the guilt (or keep us from blowing out our pocketbooks!).
That would be tough to do. But another point for consideration is on including the PIF effect too. Some of my early gear, cig-a-likes, ego's, changeable atty's, I have given to friends and family. 2 out of 3 are now vapers. That's 2 lives, besides mine, that have been freed from the need to smoke. Feel there needs to be some kind of value placed on Paying It Forward, Hmm??
