Thanks for the offer, but I am too excited! LOL I am almost done with mine! (I have only been doing this for a few months, so there's not a lot of entering...actually this will probably be the most I enter). Now I can just add. :)


That probably made no sense at all! :unsure:

Thanks Everybody!



It's a great motivator. :)
I can send you mine if you would like a reference. Or I should even be able to make it a blank template out of it.

How are you doing? I haven't been around......had a crappy week. :(

Hiya Fudgey!!!!! I'm sorry about your crappy week... :(

Is there light at the end of the tunnel yet?

Good night to the Clowder:)
Deej:wub: try not to over-do;)


Good night, DaleDoll!

I won't. I picked up some melatonin today...

First: CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Second: I am very honored that I could play a part in your accomplishment. Part of why I do this is because I went down the flavor-search road, and was sorely disappointed.

Thanks Deej!

You're welcome for the offer and it did make sense. Some people aren't too excel savvy so I just figured that I would offer. :)

Congrats Spud! :toast:

I got stumped on some simple stuff, but it's nothing I couldn't google to figure out! :)

So my husband and my total for 3 months is just over $600. :( Ugh. I thought it was going to be a lot less than that. But, I guess some of that is my PIF to my mom and friend. So that makes it better, doesn't it??? LOL

Good Afternoon Everybody!

So today marks the day that I received my first vapemail and smoked my last analog. I can't believe that it has been a year already. I also can't believe that I actually made it a year without smoking.

:banana::banana::rickroll::banana::banana:

The first few months were a tough learning experience. Figuring out how long my batteries last. How to clean my gear. What voltage I like. And the all important what flavor of juice is right for me.

At first all the flavors that I bought were over powering or way too sweet or just plain blah. After a few months and only finding a few flavors that I could stand vaping, I finally stumbled upon Deejstuff during a "FireKitty" sale. After the first couple of juices I knew that I could keep vaping and actually enjoy it at the same time. After a few more juices I realized that I could order whatever and it would be fully vapable, if not excellent. Now I have too many favorites to keep up with, so I just keep ordering new flavors that just keep adding to that favorites list.

Anyway I would just like to thank Deej and all his hard work in making such tasty flavors. Without you Deej, I probably would still be fumbling around wondering if vaping is right for me, or at the least vaping a flavor that I didn't love. You've pushed me down the rabbit hole and turned this "quitting device" into a fun hobby for me. :)

SO THANKS DEEJ!!! :D

Also thanks to the people in this thread for keeping it fun and making me want to come back day after day. To the Clowder support group. :toast:

And of course thanks to ECF as a whole. For without this forum I would probably be still smoking or vaping on a crummy "insert brand name here" cig-a-like. :blink::laugh:

So how many of you drip? I don't. Just wondering if it's worth trying. I am a little worried to try because of my 2 year old running around and such. Is it a pain in the bum? Right now I use DCT tanks and BCC tanks and some ce5's I don't feel like I am getting consistant flavor though.

I still keep some Joye 510 atomizers on hand. (Just remember to blow them out fully before you start as they have primer on them.) You definitely get the most full flavor with dripping but it is a pain because you have to add juice every 4-5 drops.

With a two-year-old, it might not be worth it. Poeia has become fascinated with my vaping. When she's sitting on my desk she heads for any bottles I forgot to move out of the way and triumphantly grabs them and I have to grab them back. (She also goes for the mouthpieces on my tanks.) If it's hard to keep it away from a half-pound parrot, I can't imagine what it would be like with a 2-year-old person. (I've very glad I only vape at 6mg.)

Yeesh. Anything with the term "rebuild" freaks me out a bit. LOL I don't think I am ready for all of that.
I'm not ready for that after 3 2/3 years.

I got stumped on some simple stuff, but it's nothing I couldn't google to figure out! :)

If you can resist getting new mods constantly, you'll save more soon. There's always a big outlay at the beginning. Figure out what you would have spent during the same period if you both smoked. So far you're averaging $200 a month on vaping (less if your "3 months" was rounded down.) So far I've been able to keep my vaping to under 10% of what I would have spent on cigarettes (because NYC has the highest price for cigs in the country.)

Other good vaping tabs for your spreadsheets:
A list of Deejstuff flavors. (Making a shopping list is so much easier.)

Inventory - I have date, flavor, strength, bottle size and approximate amount left. (I used to include vendor but it's all Deejstuff now.) It reminds me which flavors in the back are getting near their birthdays and should be vaped soonish (I tend to play with my new toys first) and keeps me from accidentally running out of a "must have.")

Reminders of what you did and didn't like.

Hardware vendors you've liked.

Thanks Poeia!

I think I'm going to have to make an inventory tab, that is a great idea. A lot faster than digging through my tackle box full of Deejstuff. :)

Like Poeia said. At the start it is always a bit more expensive because you have all this new stuff to buy and try out.

The way I have my spreadsheet set up it shows the amount that I would have spent on cigs per a day ($5.50 in my area when I quit) and then the amount of juice that I usually vape through in a day ($1.65 based on 3ml per day and price of 30 ml). The difference of the two will give you a net value of consumable product per a day. That difference times the amount of days since you've quit gives you an overall savings in consumables to date. That gives you a better idea of what you have saved instead of what you have spent since you probably have a back up of juice that will last a while.

Then I take out the amount of my equipment from my overall savings to make a more realistic savings number. This was in the red for a long while when I started because I bought a lot of random drip tips and a pricey mod. But in time this number will balance out. In that beginning time I just looked toward the overall savings of consumables and knew that I was saving money in the long run, even if when adding the equipment into the equation made the realistic savings number look bad.

Now I don't know if that made any sense but in summary don't worry about the savings at first and just be happy that your doing a better thing for your body. :)

I usually update my "In Stock" sheet when I finish a bottle of something. I buy multiple bottles of Poeia's MG and ARC at a time (I get smaller bottles and make them 4 of the bottles in a 6-pack.) It's very easy to think I still have a bottle left when I'm vaping the last one.

I have a spreadsheet with all my vape spending. Then I have a "non-smoking savings" sheet. The columns are:
Day & Date
$ not smoked (the previous total plus what I would have spent today)
Vaping $ spent to date
$ saved

cumulative cigarettes not smoked

and some calculations

Sunday, August 26
Day: 1338
Saved: $49,552
Spent: 9.8% of what I would have spent on cigs
Average $ per day: $4.04
Cigarettes not smoked: 89,584

    Good Morning Deej :wub:
    And the rest of the Clowder :)
    Help yourselves
    I won't. I picked up some melatonin today...
    Hey there, not my business but do yourself a favor:?:
    Check with your DR on that melatonin would ya'?

    So my husband and my total for 3 months is just over $600. :( Ugh. I thought it was going to be a lot less than that. But, I guess some of that is my PIF to my mom and friend. So that makes it better, doesn't it??? LOL
    Like everyone else said Grad, the beginning is the worst, it'll improve:)

    Gee Poeia; now you're making me want a list of those flavors!

    Good morning everyone! Wow I have a lot to catch up on. It was a busy week last week. Both of my girls started their volleyball games,and had more back to school shopping to do. Today is their first day of school. I now have a middle schooler, and a junior in high school. The house is nice and quiet, so I can enjoy my coffee, and caramel capp cheesecake, and catch up on True Blood!

    Have a wonderful day everyone!
