Not sure if I will ever get into rebuilding coils - my eyes are bad, my hands shake, and all my patience goes to my grandson, who has Autism.

Dealing with a child with autism spectrum disorder can keep a person very busy. As for recoiling, if you can't, collect those burned-out coils, and send them to someone who can do it for free, and then send them back to you.

37 members and counting....

O.k, here I am, too! I spent 45.00 on a MVP 2 in March, 25.00 for liquid and a mini pro-tank in April, and vowed in May to vape some of the liquid I've put to the side because I didn't like it as well as some of my others. I have too much equipment and liquid to keep spending money!

 

[sc12]

Just checking to see how easily you could embarrass.

lmao that's great haha

 

[Vicshalls]

I have spent my limit. I am even selling things off. I build my coils for me and the wife between us we have 3 provari and she has an mvp. I have some mechs but I don't even know why. I don't care for them. But had to try them just in case. We have more liquid than we know what to do with. Ever flavor tastes like molded cheese cloth to me and I have no idea why. So I do mints and licorice cause it is the only thing that tastes right. I don't have room to for all the diy stuff and really don't want to get the wife into anything else. She needs to vape what she has. Lol so now I might actually start saving something. Ya I will keep buying my juice but I am good with that.

Here I am, I did get lost! Glad to see so many have joined, it is a great ideas to share ideas

 

[DavidOck]

Somewhere on the 'net your data packets got rerouted. You weren't lost, it lost you.

But I have it on (no) good authority that the entrance fee here is at least one way to vape a $1 / day, so....

 

[klynnn]

I do everything monthly so 30.00 is a good figure once you get your stock established.

 

[supertrunker]

i like to price things comparatively.

I used to spend $400 a month on cigarettes for HRH and myself, so anything under that is a bonus. Since we both stopped at the same time, it's free health insurance for her.

I spent - i dunno, maybe 2k on gear all told. The initial costs are - or can be - brutal. Chargers, batteries, tanks , atties, good grief!
But, since we now make our own liquid (#1 money-saver right there - oh, and nobody to blame but yourself if it's crap) and rebuild, it's a breeze.

Gets me out of summer Bible school too cos i have to rebuild coils.

LOL I used to spend 240.00 a month on cigs. I got a huge raise by quitting . I also learned a whole bunch about politics and what is happening in this country. I just can't imagine anyone not giving vaping a shot. Personally I am beginning to wonder about the mentality in the us. the more technology it appears the dumber people get.

Pro-rated out, for two vapers, that's about $1.36 per day

 

[misswish1]

I'm happy with equipment that I have. Going to learn to build coils soon, learning to DIY. Got hubby vaping now, even trying flavors other than tobacco! Replacement costs should be low. And the 4th of July sales are coming up!

 

[DavidOck]

Ah, but it's the sales that can blow a budget!

 

[3mg Meniere]

Ah, but it's the sales that can blow a budget!

That is a major problem. Encourages impulse purchases. Personal rule- don't buy a sale item unless it is already on a wish-list with that or another vendor. Of course, shipping is a bite, so then there is a temptation to ad one or two or twenty additional items to the cart. And vendors know it. or

 

[glointhedark]

I know pretty much what I will be ordering for the Fourth of July sale from the only vendor I will be using. Barring unforeseen problems with batteries or clearos, that will be it for vaping supplies in July. We are stocked up on everything else. The vape "budget" got shot to heck in June. I decided to try a couple of new, to us, vendors for eliquid, MBV got the GWAR line back in stock, and my daughter's boyfriend told us that his Grandpa, a long-time smoker, saw him vaping and wanted to try it. We had enough wiggle room to get the boyfriend an Evod starter kit so he could give Grandpa my daughter's cigalike setup that we had given to the boyfriend when we moved up to Evods, plus a couple of eliquids for Grandpa to try. I am not complaining - I like the fact that we are in a position to be able to do some small things for other people.

 

[DavidOck]

Good going, Glo.

And in my opinion, buying stuff to PIF isn't part of my vaping budget at all. (Or maybe even replacing stuff that you gifted out, same thing.)

I agree. When I bought kit to get my son seriously started, that did not count. I then sent him to KC to live with his father, and sent him a link to a vape store in that area.

If you are buying for family, it would be a dollar a day for each person.

 

[glointhedark]

Thanks for the positive comments. It is really nice to be in a position to do some small things after being on a very tight budget for many years.

 

[3mg Meniere]

The less we spend on ourselves, the more we have to spend on those we love.

Bill-paying time is important for those who are beginning to realize that vape hardware purchases are cutting into their budgets for food, clothing, and housing.

You're right! I put any PIF buys in my gift budget, not my vaping budget. That's what it is, right? A very good gift that with any luck keeps on giving.

Was going to join the group, as I was SURE I would not be spending any more this month and I was set.

Haven't received any of my other orders yet, but somehow I justified ( to my way of thinking )
that the full size Kayfun Lite Plus V2 was ONLY .9 ounces heavier than the kayfun mini I ordered and
11mm shorter than the Taifun GS I ordered.

There should be some sort of 'test' you have to take or you have to write an essay before the 'BUY' button becomes active!

After this, I WILL be set.

I know it.
