Nope. I spend less than 20% for vaping than I sent for smoking. Got to shop smart, I guess.
I've probably spent ~ the same now as I would have smoking. The big difference is I have enough kit to easily last me a year if (big if) I don't buy anything else. If I spent it on smokes I'd have....coughing fits.
I will reinforce what the others have said that this will definitely be a cost savings (and health saving) venture for me.
I'm only a couple of weeks into this and I initially bought some 'hardware' that is now in the discard pile. I decided to just bite the bullet and get a high end APV and will be going the DIY ejuice route.
So with all of these capital costs, my break-even will be a little more than two months after I started. After that point, I will probably be spending about 10-20% as I was on smokes on a monthly basis.

lol I've spent more than I smoked, going to take me until July for it to even out....if I don't buy anything else. I see new things, and I end up buying them 
I'm trying to slow down my vaping spending habit
I'm trying to slow down my vaping spending habit
I spent a lot until I found what I liked. Now I spend less.........except for those months that I get a chance at a lava tank.......or a unique tank.....or some lovely bedazzle tubes. Honestly I went crazy for the first year........but now I'm reeling myself in, and I'm trying to keep the habit at about $125 per month, which is about 1/3 of what I spent smoking cigarettes.
I now spend about $30 a month on vaping. I was spending that in less than a week of smoking. Once you find your hardware and juice setup of choice vaping is easily cheaper than smoking. Until then you may spend more but you will not be inhaling all of the nasty additives in cigs.
I got lucky with a wife that supports the fact that I quit the stinkies.

So far, I've spent about the same as when I smoked analogs, but I bought a kit, juice and replacement parts. Over all, it'll be cheaper unless one gets the "got to have it" Jones. I think of it this way, I'm not smoking coffin nails any more, and that's a plus.
I would worry more about how much longer your gonna live, be healthy, healthier, happier, and enjoy a quality life, then how much you save and only spend what you can afford so the Bride doesnt get ticked off, and let her know this too.!
and only spend what you can afford so the Bride doesnt get ticked off, and let her know this too.!Looking at my banner below, I'm about a week away from my break even point. However, I figure I've got enough wicks, coil wire, and DIY juice to last me at least 3 months. Another $30 at that point will take me about 4-5 months longer.
With my PV purchase and juice totaled I'm in about 250. I'm not worried about breaking even I just don't wanna smoke a stink stick!
I must be one of the odd ones...
I'm only 22, and was smoking about 2 yrs. but unlike some hardcore "vets", a pack would last me about a week to a week & 1/2.
While I may spend more on vaping than my $4.25 pack of Camel menthols from the pharmacy, I def have saved on listerine and cologne costs (secret smoker. Even my gf didn't know..). Not to mention the adverse health effects.

I'm 6 weeks tobacco-free and I feel your pain. Between getting new juice delivery systems for my Volt X2's and discovering new juices, I'm way over budget. Also, I'm trying a nicotine level that I won't OD on because I've become a chain-vaporer (at my 60+ years)
I discovered MEL's ice collection and have to try everything. At least if we have a harsh winter this year, I'll be all set and won't have to plow through the snow to get cigarettes. Soooo in that respect, I will be saving.....
It took me about 8 months to break even. I bought 2 starter kits, some egos and a Provari. I tried a tonne of clearomizers and cartomizer set ups, but eventually settled on something that works for me.
I now go months without spending anything on vaping, I average out around $30 a month now vs over $200 when I smoked.

I've been off smokes for over a year and really i am good with the money spent on vaping the shop get some om my goods at call me a vapor geek. the wife and me tease back and forth all in good fun she plays poker and as the night is over i still have my goods. thank you poker.lol I've spent more than I smoked, going to take me until July for it to even out....if I don't buy anything else.

My husband and I are about 6 weeks into vaping, and we are WAAYYY over budget! If (and that's a big IF!) we can refrain from continuing to buy every new juice and toy we see, we figure we will break even in 6 months or so. Getting off analogs, however, is priceless!
Not sure if this is happening to all vapers.. With time this become like a gadget hobbie, suddenly you notice that you have enough stuff to vape for a year, but you want more... even that you have new packed stuff getting dust and with no intention to use it....
Yes to the gadget hobby but i do use all my stuff. my only waste is the same as all (bad juice) learned to by sample sizes.
I got my deluxe starter kit & loved it from the start. I know I am going to save so much money & my lung tissue.
I read the forum posts after I got my kits. I read about the flavors everyone was raving about on there & ended up checking Heather's Heavenly Vapes to find the "Gandalf" (it is a great tobacco flavor). I also ordered some of the cinnamon "Fireball" , not too sweet. I like the sample pack I got of 4 tobacco flavors too. So far the Dark Horse & Georgia Peach are awesome too.
The prices were right & I should be set for quite awhile at about $120 to start. I have to see how long my supply lasts.
I wasn't a heavy smoker so I seem to do fine with just a few vapes at a time. Can't wait to let the cigs go for good & I am close!!!
