Trust me, I am genetically half magpie. If it's shiny. I'll p*ss my money away on it :-(

lol lol lol this is hysterical.... lol

 

[LoriVanPelt]

the different flavors of juices is what is costing me right now... i am new to the entire experience and have two cheap little vape units... i like them and will probably not invest much into redoing and remodding myself...i prefer the pay and go type of vapes... but the juice is rather costly since i want to try them all... however, they do last longer than i had expected them to

 

[LoriVanPelt]

when i think of all i wasted on analogs.. this is no worries what i am investing in vaping... the costs to my pocketbook and to my health were much worse with analogs DEFINITELY

lol lol lol this is hysterical.... lol

I thought that statement was a riot myself.


When I was getting the approval for my Provari I stated I was "somewhere-ish" near to breaking even. My wiser half told me to stop lying to myself and her it was more than the cost of smoking but to go ahead and buy the Provari as long as I wasn't going to smoke anymore.

I started buying before my stop smoking date and have vaped on and off for 2 years, mostly on junk prior to stopping.

cigalike kits (now in the trash) ~80$
eGo kits and pieces ~ 150$
VV3 ~30$
MP2 42$
Batteries and charger because I knew I was going to buy something that needed them. ~80$
Mechs because I already had Batteries for them ~60$
Provari and batteries because you always need more batteries 270$
A small fortune in juice because I wanted options! *not even going to calculate*
A Magneto because everyone needs a magneto - 45$
2 PT2, PT3, 4 Mini PT2, Aspire Davide, and army of Evods, cartos, carto tanks, RBAs, RDAs, every option of RBA material available and some of my own ideas. *Not adding that up, nope, no way*

Atomizer stands because they are handy - 25$

Another mech on the way in the mail and more batteries because..... 86$

Not adding all that up but I have a collection of stuff, I can actually not buy anything and vape for months, maybe even a year on what I have. If that happens it will be less than I spent on cigs and copenhagen. If I spend more...... welll.....

I am not smoking or dipping anymore, I can vape on the couch or at the computer at home. I can vape at my desk at work.

Cost of not smoking ? PRICELESS.

I want to buy more, I need to buy more, I need a VAPESTATION now!

This!

I was spending right around $100 on analogs every week. I've spent WAY more than that on vaping goodies in the past week, but it doesn't matter.

1) I can afford it.

2) When my wife (who has never smoked) saw me cut my analog use by more than 90% immediately, she said, "buy more!". So I paid a visit to the closest B&M. My analog usage dropped to zero the next day, and that's where it's stayed ever since.

3) I've now got enough stuff that I could probably vape for 3 months or more without spending another cent. Will that happen? Almost certainly not. I went back to the B&M today; sampled more flavors; bought more juice; bought more tanks, and, after having a chance to play with it, a VV3 too. Did I need any of that at this point? Not hardly, but hey, it's like a new hobby!

In the end, given what I was spending on analogs, I'm sure I will reach break-even at some point in well under a year, no matter how many flavors I try now, or how many shiny tanks and power sources I buy.

Took me 10 months, and several thousand bucks not spent on cigs, but on gear etc etc etc. Now I'm where I want to be, I'm in the black by several hundred and have started my 15 buck a week Vape budget, life is good. Just takes time.

Hey, my monthly cost to vape (not counting new shiney's which are just presents to myself) is about $8.50 which includes 200ml of DIY (2mg - down from 24 in April of this year) and rebuilding 8-12 heads a month

when I switched I was at 4 cartons a month, eehhh, about $220, so I am right about at break even in the next month or so

+ I feel better

so, Winning!!!

 

[tomvonc]

My DIY juice supplies and my Kanthal arrived in the post so I have something to keep me busy to stop spending money. I have already rebuilt every coil in the house, and 4 lots of Juice brewed and now steeping. ;-)

 

[Mrs C]

Since Aug 14 2013

roughly $240 in hardware
$10 per week in juice

 

[natzakaria]

Spent too much on hardware and close to USD 30 on juice - shared with better half

Trust me, I am genetically half magpie. If it's shiny. I'll p*ss my money away on it :-(

So, not even a month in and this is my spend GULP! first time I have looked at it :-(

1 x Starter kit eGo 600 mAH and CE5 and charger 17.50
1 x 600 mAH eGo 10.00
2 x Vision 900 mAH spinners 40.00
1 x Smoktech 1300 mAH spinner 25.00
1 x spare charger 3.00
2 x Protank mini 2 25.00
1 x Protank 2 15.00
1 x PT pack of coils 7.50
1 x Vision Victory 10.00
approx 4 CE5's 16.00
various eliquids about 60.00
1 x MVP 2 45.00

Total = £274

I'm guessing that's about $400 to my friends across the pond.

Yeah, I got hit with a stout bill also, but now I only spend in juice. If you start the year when I started Vaping, I'm still under my cigarette cost by around $1,500. Lol. I'll take a couple of high expenditures over saying goodbye to Mr. Lincoln and his loose friends 365 days per year.

Doing the ecig/vape thing can be really cheap if you just stick to the basics. But starting out I had to try all sorts of juices and hardware to find out what works well for me. There are a lot more options with electronic as compared to smoking tobacco.

 

[Deathnote]

Don't know how you spent that much, I spent $70 on ego C kit + 5 Vision clearomisers and about $90 on 180 ml juice shipped from USA, juice would've been a lot cheaper but I bought 12 different flavors to see what I like. $5 or $10 per month for clearomizers and cheap juice works out ALOT cheaper than analogs.
