Are there any banners that...

...take into account that you are also still using analogs?

I really would like to use only my PV's. But fact is, I don't (yet). I see all these messages on this forum, with those nice banners that say when the poster had the last analog and the amount of money that has been saved. I´ve reduced my analog use by half with the help of my PV´s. I would like to have a banner that would proudly state that and what the savings have been. Does any banner like that even exist? Or are there banners of which I can adjust the text? Of course, I could click on every banner I see in this forum to find out, but I'm pretty sure there is someone around here who can just tell me. Thank you

I haven't found one yet, but would be interested in knowing the answer also. I actuallly fudged a bit when creating mine. I was a 2 pad smoker prior to vaping. When I first started vaping I immediately went from 40 analogs a day to about 5. Since I was still smoking about 5 cigarettes a day, I used the number 35 when asked how many cigarettes a day I smoked since I figured that's how many I was avoiding by vaping. I slowly cut down on the number of cigarettes I was using per day until now I no longer use any at all.

The number of cigarettes avoided now indicated by my banner is actually lower than what is true, but I'm ok with that. The main reason I like having the banner is because it indicates how much I've "saved" by not smoking. The truth is I've spent a lot getting myself set up and experimenting with vaping. I figure as long as I don't spend more money on vaping than what I would have spent on smoking, that I am ahead of the game financially. At this point I think I've made my last major purchase (a REO grand which should arrive this week) so I should start seeing some real savings now.

I noticed this banner simply states "Been vaping since...", then has the savings, etc...Electronic Cigarette Savings Banner Tool - Smoke Without Fire.

Then you could just do what tigerlily suggested and input the numbers as best as you can.

Myself, I'd just as soon not have the banner say how much money I've "saved." Truth be told, I haven't saved a red cent. Not that I couldn't if determined, but I just don't have that kind of willpower (which is also not on the banners...).

Why not just enter the amount of cigarettes you are currently not smoking instead of the amount you used to smoke?

i.e. if you used to smoked 2 packs per day and now are smoking 1/2 pack a day (i.e. not smoking 1.5), enter 1.5 (instead of two) as your pack a day number when filling out the banner. Then it will show how many cigarettes you have avoided.

Thank you all! I decided for the banner Trouble suggested, and also used Dormouse's advise. So now I have a shiny new banner, which isn't even very far from the truth (although I've been meddling with esigs for years, but finally it was the Leo that kicked in the most).

Very nice!
