Bloog tickers

[Louie the Rat]

I'm not sure that's what you call them. I mean the signature things that keep track of how many analogs you avoided and days free ect. I saw that some keep track of how much money you saved not buying cigarettes. As far as I can see none of the bloog ones do that why is that? Seemed pretty neat to me.

The ticker doesnt know how much money youve saved, cus it doesnt know how much you spend on ecigcrap...

Also a pack of cigs are not priced the same everywhere, i think....Mine were 33,50 kr. $1 is about 5 kr. so almost $7... what do they cost in the states?

About 6.15 in Pennsylvania. 8 bucks in New York State and I've heard as high as 10 in New York city, not sure if thats true though. If I go to New York I always would take plenty with me never bought any there.

You can find one here:

Bloog Smoke-Free counter

and another here:

The Big Bad Bloog Banner Builder

I believe these are both temporary (the second one is for sure) until Bloog gets their new website up; then they will be moved to the new site and you'll have to update your banner links.

They already have the tickers available on the current website. But none have the $$ saved... I think he was asked to remove that. I don't see the need to remove it... even if it can't be 100% accurate, who cares? If someone wants to add it, let them.

Unless you're like me...and it's dollars spent. I just can't stop placing orders for stuff - new juice flavors, ohhh haven't tried the watermelon cart yet...must get some...maybe a spare battery while I'm at it. I'm afraid to add it up, cause I've spent millions!!

see its all Maggie's fault nothing is in stock.

Having nothing more exciting to do this morning, and to avoid housework, I just made up a spreadsheet to track my orders & $$ spent, vs. what I would have spent on cartons. January was a busy month! LOL That was my experimentation & getting set up month, with 8 orders @ $260. ouch. Feb was a little better, down to 6 @ $180. March so far has been the best with 3 @ $85. So now my signature is totally bogus, LOL. I am currently in the hole $-14 vs. what would have been spent on cartons. And if it wasn't for needing 2 batteries this month, I would have been ahead of the game.
But now that I have a good idea of what my cart/juice preferences are, I can see a typical month being about $60 whereas I would have spent about $150 in cartons during that time.

Actually, the one I designed (the second one, above) does include money saved line, but it isn't on the Bloog site yet. It's being hosted on my server until they get to it.

Ah, OK. I do see the flawed logic though. There needs to be an added parameter for avg $ spent on vaping, not just what wasn't spent on smokes, then subtract.

Well, the first one isn't on a Bloog server either, it's on a free hosting server.
It was just the first script I made when nycsublimegirl asked for help making a banner, and to enable people to design their own banners for the contest.
As I said, the initial script had money saved info, and even accounted for initial investment and monthly spending in vaping, but even with that it wasn't very useful because vaping spendings are much more variable. Nycsublimegirl though, and I agreed, it would be too much (unreliable) information in the banner.

 

[starsong]

I can't speak for what other people would like to see, but for me it would be more meaningful to put in an average of what I spend each month on vaping supplies. So it would go something like: How much do you spend a month, divide that by 30, multiply that by # days since started. So: 60/30*65 = 130 avg spent to date. Figure what would have been spent on analogs. 150/30*65 = 300. Now subtract for your savings. 300-130 = $170 saved. This would be more accurate than just saying I've saved $300 on analogs.

I'm just using those figures as an example. Your mileage will vary. In my case I'm still in the hole

 

[Frick]

I think I'm in the hole with all the juices I've bought. If I could just settle on one and be done with it, I'd start saving money.

 

[shooter59]

That's a good thought Frick, but there are too many out there to experiment with...
After tasting some of the different stuff, I can't decide if I want to stick with the tobacco flavors or with the fruity stuff.

So finding just one isn't going to be easy.
Different flavors for different moods....

If I could just settle on one and be done with it, I'd start saving money.
