do E-cig's save you money

[jdub]

I keep seeing everyone saying they are saving money but seems like everyone here has
mass supplies of:
atomizers
batterys
flavors
filters
cases
chargers of every sort
mods

seems like money is spent back into the hobby to get people to quit

I don't mind changing to e's but I don't see how I save money

I smoked a pack a day, which would be roughly $150 a month... $150 in e-cig supplies would last me far longer than a month...

 

[Wojtek]

Depends what you currently pay.
I pay 9.50$ per 25 cigs. That's 190$ per month

I calculated I would need 40$ worth of e-juice per month.
That leaves me 150$ per month to spend on gear.

Even if you are not saving your self the money and spending the same,you sure as hell are saving your health. I can almost promise you 9regardless of what you smoke a day) you can save money too. My health is the major reason,you cant just go out and buy a new pair of lungs can you?

I just purchased my first e-cig 2 days ago. So far I love it, and I'm looking for the best deal on juice for it. Even if I were to pay for new carts instead of just refilling, I would still come out about $60 less each month than I would spend on analogs.

That might not be true for a little while though, I can't seem to keep this thing out of my mouth, its like a pacifier to me. I'm sure I will eventually learn, and upgrade to a better system.

for instance that chuck is prolly 75 dollars

I spend more only because i choose to buy lower nic cartomizers so i can vape all day and not feel wired, i like the flavors a lot, but if i was sensible and only used the e-cig when i really NEEDED it then yes i would save a fair bit of money.

 

[just-cass]

as a noob i bought a kit and a lil juice...i spent bout 60dollars which i would go through in real cigs in half a weeks...so in 4 days i made up my spending...my equipment still works and i have enough juice to last til the end of the month(i have been buying int he meantime but i coulve easily "lived off this supply" for a month...so thats 4 days worth of cig money to get a month supply of ecigs...

i could afford to buy a kit a month but will invest in trying juices and accessories instead after the initial purchase...

it can cost as much or as little as you want it to but bare minimum buying would easily leave you well under what cigs cost...

ps. i think most buy in bulk cos it makes it cheaper in the long run...which is what we are all here for : o) not just another fad!!!

 

[jdub]

it drives me nuts I cannot find anything e-cig related for sale localy

there is a shop but he sells only the e-cig itself for 100

for instance that chuck is prolly 75 dollars

Yeah, but not necessary to vape. You can get by on a cheapo $30 box mod and do just fine.

I'll put it this way - I'd continue to vape even if it was more expensive than cigs. The savings are just a nice perk

[jdub]

sorry double post

 

[pianoguy]

If you spend wisely and don't go hog-wild on every new mod that comes out, you should be able to realize some significant savings.

Im saving money, unless I use the M402... in which case Im dripping about 4 drops of juice on the atty to get 5 puffs. That thing seems to be a juice killer. I can never find a happy medium with it. Other than that, my Kr808-d does great! Two five packs of cartos for $14.00, 60mL's of juice for about $22 bucks and it lasts me a month and a half?? Cant beat that!

I was concerned if I was ever going to save money when I started vaping, but after about the 11th or 12th week we started seeing the savings. It's been a savings ever since.
Everyone new to vaping should understand your costs are usually greater at the beginning when you have to make your hardware purchase, ie. e-cig, extra batteries and atomizers, carts, etc. After that it's just a maintenance thing. You know you pick up some batts and/or attys now and then, some juice here and there. Turns into a kind of piecemeal thing.

I calculated my spending on ecigs and ecig accessories to be less than 25% of what I spent on cigarettes. I feel much better also which is the most important factor.

 

[The Man]

I'm still waiting for my first ecig, but I've calculated my break even point to be about 15 days, if I can get OFF death sticks. Should be here just in time for the new year!

 

[jdub]

so basically as long as a person doesn't go crazy he can see a savings

 

[martha1014]

Reading this forum it seems more people go crazy than not. Alot of people are stocking up because of the possible FDA ban. I have definitely spent a lot more on ecig and supplieis than I did on cigarettes. Of course I have enough to last me 2 years. My husband asked me how much I had spent on ecigs and I lied to him. He said I have enough and should stop buying and hoaring it. I never thought of myself as a hoarder but I quess I could be with the ecig stuff.

 

[jdub]

thats the thing the fda ban is going to make me stock up with tons of parts
