CELEBRATING: I'm about to BREAK EVEN $!$!$!$!

[MikenGA]

I just realized, since September when I earnestly made the switch from analogs to vaping, I was getting a bit concerned about using my credit card because 'vape' expenses were mounting very, very quickly. In my most recent 'first 7 weeks' I've invested in my ego-T, PT's, atomizers, cartomizers, fluxomizers and 51 sample bottles of juice.

NOW, I've got the hardware I enjoy using, as well as 500ml of juice to get me through the next several months. Some juices are definitely better than others, but ALL are better than analogs IMHO...so I'll suffer through'em if need be!

I've learned more than I wanted to learn in the last 7 weeks, but I've identified two juice vendors I LIKE and WILL use again! Even so, that education cost me a total of $429.72...but according to my calculator below, I'll BREAK EVEN within another 24 hours!

Although it's a tempting idea for me to celebrate by rewarding myself with a VV mod, or buying something else, right now I'm good...and being HAPPY without analogs is more than enough for today!

I'm gonna CELEBRATE with a LONG VAPE of 'Chocolate-Banana' in one hand, and 'Bourbon-Tobacco' in the other!


(I'm generally known as sorta 'weird' by my friends, but I'm even 'weirding myself out'...typin' through tears of JOY!)


The 'juice bar' will soon be open! LET THE PARTY BEGIN!!

Congrats in a few months you should be ahead if you don't go overboard buying PV's!!

 

[bnrkwest]

ALRIGHT ! (is this another party like last night's? LOL) Congratulations, my friend. I'll be celebrating my 1 month soon, ANOTHER PARTY ! ! Still want to get some people from GA together, if nothing else just to compare and get to know each other.

 

[Balthezar]

Could you pass that choc-banana juice? I haven't tried that one yet heheh

 

[MikenGA]

Sincerely folks, THANKS 4 your support! I can't tell ya how much it has helped to hang out with y'all!

After so many failed attempts at quitting the analogs, I NEVER imagined I could really DO this...but it's happnin'!! YAY!!

Could you pass that choc-banana juice? I haven't tried that one yet heheh

I haven't tried it either - yet - but it sure looks good! Help yerself!

I guess I've been lucky since starting vaping I've spent exactly $487.15. (I literally just added everything up) Or maybe I'm just a tight wad

Congrats on breaking even!! To save even more $$$ keep an eye on the deals thread. The classifieds look like a good place to watch also.

 

[Balthezar]

Hey, that's not bad
Well, I must be doing something right, just figured out what I have spent so far (including bad gas station junk that got me started) and it is $150.00, that's $30 for gs e-cigs (at least I found out I liked them) and I have the Joye 510 PCC and the eGo passthru, 5 smoktech dual coil cartos, plus enough DIY stuff to last a couple of months. Only down side is, I've only tried my DIY juices, and the ones that came in the cartridges, but would love to try some real flavors, maybe for my one month party I'll order a couple.

 

[cduhh]

damn thats a good chunk of change.

 

[alanselo]

Always goo to hear success stories, means there is still hope for me! A big congrats.....

 

[tj99959]

My wife thought I was spending way to much on vaping .... until I showed her how much I would have spent on analogs.

 

[dormouse]

Grats!! I'm a shopaholic so it's hard for me to get through a week without spending as much on ecigs as I did on cigs. I just bought another mod and 4 30ml bottles of juice because my juice was on sale, and a spare slim battery while I was there, and 6 drip tips. At least I have cut down on the trying of tons of juices. Through someone did tempt me to buy 4 from Virgin Vapor last week,

 

[Chessiesmile]

Hooray for MikenGA! This truly is a reason to celebrate! Better than a Birth-day, this a Life-day, a whole new lease on LIFE day for ya!

 

[MikenGA]

It's def a purdy darn kool day...'cept since I posted this thread, I've been looking at cheap vv mods!

Question: Will a vv mod make some of these 'less desirable' juice flavors taste better????
(I'm really HAPPY right now, but don't object to getting HAPPIER! )


--->must put CC back in wallet<---

 

[Balthezar]

pass the bourbon-tobacco blend(after you put cc away)..... cool

 

[everman7]

Oh, man I can't wait to break even!
Been at this about a month+ and can't stop thinking about what I'm gonna try next.
Whether it's another mod, a tank, another carto or dripping atty, or the new dual coil atty...or, or, or...

I just don't see it happening....ugh!

Congrats, by the way!

 

[sandybeach]

Yay! Congrats on breaking even. I figured it out that in the 5 months I started smoking again, even at 1/2 pack a day, I spent over $600 bucks!

 

[Renzuli]

I figure I should break even , several months after I'm dead and gone . But I don't care , still beats smoking , any day of the week .

 

[hawkizefan]

Way to go Mike...good for you. I never did the math (makes my head hurt) but pretty sure that in the last year I broke even (or not) but do know that no matter the cost I'm "richer" now for becoming a vaper.

Live in Omaha now but lived in Powder Springs Ga. for 15 years prior. You good ol' boys hold a special place in my heart. I miss Ga. greatly.

Hooray MikenGa,
There's hope for me yet. I have spent @200 in the past month, which is just about even. If my purse strings didn't have to be so tight I know I would have gone crazy with the cc. With so much help from all of the wonderful folks here I have been happy with my choices so far & the benefits far out weigh the costs anyway.
Cheers
