But if you ask about saving money, I think i'm not saving any money by vaping. Here in Indonesia, a pack of marlboro cost me US $1.5, while my provari cost me $220 (with extended cup & battery), a pack of dual coil cartos are $15 (5 pcs, shipping cost not included), 3 oz of TV Butter Rum cost me about $26 (shipping not included). So, my answer is No. This is a hobby, and it's an expensive one.


Man, that sucks. Why are PV's so high there I wonder.

Oh no man. The infamous mall kit.

Funny story, I almost got conned into one. They wanted $100 and I was DOWN!

But...

My gf was with me..

And she was, for a moment in time, the logical one of us two and told me I should research it a little more.

And I did but I still didn't make the right choice the first go. It got me off cigs though. I'm in the same juice boat you are. I still haven't found my all day vape. The honeysuckle from Joogler's is soooo close.

Yea...the mall kit! }:)> ...... but'cha know what?.... If I wouldnt've wasted all that money that day I doubt Ida quite smokin a month ago, so I dont really care.... and In my case... my ol' lady was there... and shes like.... "I want one too!".... nah j/k, I offered, so its cool.... closest Ive found to an ADV would probably hafta be Vapor room's english toffee... I needa try it in double flavor though.... maybe their Gingers RY4 too.... its lighter than the others Ive tried

It almost doesn't get more inexpensive than what I was paying for analogs. I was paying roughly $3.50/pack. I know some people along the coasts were paying close to $8, so the savings for me weren't as heavy as for someone who pays, on average, twice what I did.
Close to 8.00? Analogs here in NY are upwards of 10.00. Vaping costs me around 2.00 a day and my starter kit and first juice supply paid for itself in 2 months.

Absolutely! Smoked a pack a day for 19 years - have been vaping for about 4 days.... Had 1 1/2 cigarettes - could not finish the second one; it was disgusting. The first one I had was the first thing in the morning on the second day.... Now I just vape before the nicotine bug bites me so it's all good and I never want a cig. Wish I never bought those packs - waste of $$$.

I got my first crappy starter kit in a local smoke shop and was grossly overpriced. I saw the same kits at the mall today for even more than i payed. I just walked by laughed and held on tight to the Ego in my pocket.

I've heard plenty of stories about real vapers harassing the clerks by asking very basic questions then laughing as they sweat trying to answer them but I let him keep his dignity since he didn't try to sell me something.

<~~~~~~envious! aint much I like... and even less I can tolerate all day.
I was a culinary major in high school and am a bit of a foodie so i have an appreciation for the odd or unique flavors. The only reason i dont have a more that one day all day vape is because my taste buds get bored really quick. I'm more of a flavor of the day kind of person.
 
Yes, vaping can help you quit smoking. I picked up my eGo one night, started using it that night, and have not touched a cigarette since. Even when I'm out and about, if I've forgotten my eGo, I just wait till I get home rather than pick up a pack of cigs, whereas when I was smoking, I would pick one up if I'd forgotten my pack at home.

I was a 2+ pack mini cigar smoker (same size as cigarettes, in packs of 20), my brother and I picked up an e-cig one day after talking about quitting, both of us started vaping...that day I had 4 smokes out of a freshly opened pack, total that day...when I got home from work, I was sitting outside at my patio, and crushed that opened pack and gave away the rest of the carton I had left (my brother also smoked the same and continued to keep smoking AND vaping lol)....I vaped for a few more days, no cravings, no withdrawals, no irritability....I was shocked. I had quit 23 years ago, smokeless for 13 years cold turkey. I drove everyone around me bonkers with my agitation and crankiness...I was a total ... for a couple of months dealing with withdrawal symptoms, cravings, the constant hacking...you name it, but then started again after a cr@pload of stress dealing with my ex-wife.....this time around, I haven't had a craving since the day I smoked my last mini cigar, and vaped a little here and there for a while, still with that 'mall e-cig'... it was just recently that I discovered there were better ones out there, let alone all the different flavors of juice. I never even thought of researching it. It was a friend that told me and my brother to check out his supplies and gear, neither of us even knew our friend was vaping.... my brother, and I have since aquired roughstack v2's and both of us have been enjoying our new-found vaping experiences, with new flavors to sample and enjoy... and yes, he finally smoked his last mini cigar as well, about a week ago now (yay finally)... he's also ordered a 510 manual battery kit for his wife, now she wants to give it a try as well but would only use one that looked more like a cigarette (another 3 pack/day for 30+ years smoker) :evil:

I'm the same way if I ran out of analogs when i was out i had to stop to buy some. Now if my batt dies or i run out of juice while i'm gone i can wait til i get home. IMO that just goes to show how addicted you are to the other chemicals in analogs besides the nic.
