Vaping can be just as, if not way more expensive than analogs. Trust me when I made the switch I invested in what I thought was my forever setup in a provari mini with a nautilus tank. 8 months later I own an ipv2s, a rdna40, multiple rta's, multiple rda's, and a kitchen cabinet full of eliquid. This is ok with me because vaping has turned into a new hobby that I truly enjoy but if this is simply an alternative to smoking for you I would suggest researching every purchase to death. The vape world is ever evolving and you only have the next best thing for a week or two it seems. Wish you the best of luck and hope you enjoy the switch as much as I have!
