Here's how you start to save money, buy 2 LP Reo Grands and a couple of bottom fed rebuildable atomizers and you won't want to buy other devices. Then you're just spending money on juice, kanthal, and batteries.
This. Getting my Reo pretty much ended my case of "shinyitis". Except for the wood bottom feeder I'm getting myself as a 1 year off cigarette treat. About to get into DIY juice and I will be set.

I grabbed a Zmax Mini and a Vamo V4 plus a Nautilus tank. I haven't gotten the batteries yet so I don't know how well they will work for me. I like the sturdiness of the Zmax but we'll see.

I think my holy grail is still going to be the Provari. I'm just worried about shelling out the cash and then hating it. There were a couple of really good deals that I missed, but I keep checking in case another awesome deal comes through *fingers crossed*

My first "real" device was a Provari with a carto tank. My provari's have had almost every type of topper I can think of on it with the exception of drippers and genni's. I've had vamo's, zmax's, seigli's, and itastes. I haven't yet had a mech but that's going to change soon. Point is, I have two provari's and no matter what else I try, I always go back to my provari's. They're rock solid and the moment the p3 comes out, you can be sure I'll be holding out cash to provape for one of them. :)

Does it ever end ($$$)

For me, probably not. Although after my first couple month's major expenditures, I'm to a point where I'm buying mostly juice (I did drop $30 in June for my first KF clone and a 10-pack of EVODs for out and about and another $55 this month for 3 more clones.) Last device purchase was in April ($70 for a VV3 and MVP2). Got my go-to EVOD tanks (with a couple glass variants in there just in case,) 4 KF clones (including 2 minis, a Lite, and an 3.1ES) and all-told 8 devices.

Keep toying with getting a bigger mod (Vamo, Sigelei, Provari) but I can't rationalize it (unless it's for my 50th later this year) I love my local B&M for its juices, but now I'm tempted to start making my own (mostly to see if I can) I'm close to having as many empty bottles laying about as I do bottles with juice. So, what used to be a $130/month habit is now less than $80/mo, and if I start DIY, should be WAAAY less than that.

Well as of right now I have 17 items in my Fasttech shopping cart. A new mod, 2 VTC5's, 2 RDA's, 10 drip tips, and a couple things unrelated to vaping. But after this big purchase I'll only need cotton, kanthal, and ejuice. But I have 30 bottles of ejuice, all from Killer Juice at $.99 a pop. So wire and cotton will be the only things I'll need to replace. Should be able to bring my vaping habit to $5-10 a month.
 
I started vaping in March and have stayed with eGo style batteries and clearomizers. (Mini Protank3, Aerotank Mini, X.Jet Spider and T3D) I guess that I am in the minority here. I am noticing that lately all my juices are starting to taste the same. I've tried new coils but that doesn't seem to help. Anyone have any suggestions?...besides spending lots of money!

Are the juices similar flavors? How long have they been steeping? Are you using the same coil for different juices?

What's the PG/VG on Killer?

I'm still rather leary about getting into DIY- eventually I know I will; it's just finding the right time to start.
Coil buildinng I was also leary about ONLY b/c it *looked* intimidating. Now I cant imagine not doing it.
As far as vaping itself- I'm all set with gear & juice & really dont need anything else for a long time.
What'll save me $$$$$ is staying off ECF! :p

Do it. I haven't spent a dime on vaping for the last couple months and that was just for some Inawera flavorings. I bought my nicotine and VG/PG in January and it's still going strong. I haven't been on here too much lately so maybe that's where my savings is coming from :)

Nope, that's why vendors keep thinking new stuff up so we buy more.

I think I have bought as much stuff as when I was smoking, but the enjoyment is priceless.
You said a mouthful. Some of us can't stop buying the new stuff whether we need it or not.
