After reading thru a bunch of threads I decided to try Mt Baker, so off to the site and ordered some fluids. That got me thinking...

I really should get a larger battery so I'm not constantly swapping. OK, off to MFS for a battery. That got me thinking...

I really should get a second charger. OK, added to the cart. That got me thinking...

I may as well pick up some more coils. Added.

LOL, somebody stop me!:p

Why are you buying coils? Get an R91 and all you'll need is wire & cotton - it's much cheaper. If you don't have the self control to slow down spending, you can at least try to save money.

For me, I don't build coils cos I have a total of 3 hours between getting home from work and going to bed. 1.5 of those is taken up by cooking, eating and cleaning. The rest (and in between!) I just want to vape my juice, not cry because I can't build a coil to the right resistance :D

There's a small chance that I would consider making it a Saturday hobby when the football (soccer) season starts up again in a few weeks and my boyfriend starts going to matches every other weekend. I'm saving my coil heads for that moment.

Plus, with how much a pack of ciggies cost me (let's say a pack of 20 was £8 [I think it's actually more than that now], and I smoked ~12 a day, totalling £4.80 a day) I could buy a bottle of juice a day and 5 coils a week and still be saving money. :ohmy:

I like how we all justify the ridiculous amounts of cash we spend on vaping with, "well I'm saving money on cigarettes". I am 14 months in and I stopped keeping track, I'm currently waiting on yet another mod from Fasttech and juice from two different vendors. If they would just stop coming out with cool new stuff we wouldn't have to buy it. My little plastic "Vapepcolypse" tacklebox has evolved to an entire kitchen cabinet. Did I check the mail today? Not sure, better run out there.....

Hey for us it may not be cheaper than cigarettes but with the added knowledge of how things work, community of people, and most of all not smoking its worth it in my book .........priceless:)

Its a grand adventure into finding the best vape possible. Yes.... wasted money on gear that I thought I needed, bought DCT tanks to have them just sit in a drawer, cheap gear to find out in no time I was going to spend twice to replace that cheap gear...the good ol' noob days.
Researching my buys is now the norm and now I can sit back and reap my rewards with vape quality. Now I buy almost exclusively through co-ops and almost nothing through internet vendors other than juice. The 30+ coops I've been involved in has set me up to enjoy top shelf vape quality.
Learning to rebuild my protanks has led me to be able to rebuild almost any atty or dripper and enjoy great all day vaping for over a year now.
I've spent quite a bit on my search for the perfect vape and now I sit with all I need for a long time and now the money spent on gear is just cause I only think I want it, but my wife thinks I'm crazy with some of my coop buys as she's vaping off of one of my coop buys.... lovin life. :)

I don't know who said Vaping would save me money... I've LOST money so far! Lmao... I feel your pain

I don't know how anyone could lose money, unless they were just buying things for the sake of buying things.

I smoked a pack a day. At $6.25 per pack that worked out to $187.50 per month. That's a whole lot to spend on vaping gear every month. Sure, maybe one or two months you splurge on a really expensive mod or topper, but really, how much stuff does one person need? At nearly $2,300 per year smoking you would have to have closets full of unused vaping gear to lose money.

I have about 5 different juices that I purchased today and only two tanks. What would anyone recommend for inexpensive tanks to fill with different flavors for my innokin taste vv 3?

You can find some really good deals on Mini ProTank 3s right now. If you pick one up, you can also get the Aerotank mini base and use that with your MPT3 giving you a setup that will rival the Aerotank mini for less money. I picked up the mini Aerotank base from Sun Vapors and have been really happy how that transformed the MPT3 tanks and the vape.

Good luck!
