Hi guys, uh, I'm at it again ! Yes another confession. .I saw this little kayfun lite that badly needed a new home with me, so I felt so bad, it being homeless and all I just had to give it a home. Here goes another 20 something dollars! And because I make my own e juice I needed to buy some flavors. So i did. My head is now hung in shame.other wise I did really good up to the point I bought the dna 30. Guess I won't be buying anything for the next couple of months. But really, if I compare it to what my smoking used to cost at 2 packs a day 6 dollars a pack then I'm not doing too bad. I'm not ahead by any means but I'm not really at a loss either. If I compare to smoking.

The good part is that you are thinking about it before you spend, and that is a good thing!

Well, I think, for this thread, it's really more a goal than that we're all there :)

And, of course, we can rationalize it out until sometime after the cows come home... cost of chemo, cost of oxygen and gear for COPD... (BTW, $6 is cheap compared to WA!)

Hardware, of course, can be the big drain for a while. So make a guess on how long it will last. KF? Say a year, 365 days (although other than maybe replacing some screws and the insulator, probably quite a bit longer!). That's about $0.07 per day. Add in kanthal and cotton, call it 0.08.

Learned a secret last month. Well, maybe not a secret, but something I didn't know. You can order wholesale from Mount Baker. There is a different site Wholesale E Juice for the wholesale side. The bad news is you must make a minimum order of $100. The good news is you can get your cost of juice down to about 5¢ per ml. While my wife has a resale certificate from our home state, none was required.

I ordered 16oz each of two of our favorites flavors, plus 32oz of the flavor my wife and two of our neighbors like. I am charging our neighbors what it costs, no profit involved. At those prices it is not too much more than what I DIY for!

Glad I found this site! I have gone through the initial start up purchasing craze and now at the point where I have what I want (like) in the way of hardware. Envision having to purchase batteries and possibly another tank, but other than that, I should be set for awhile!

Currently making our coils and wicks (both silica and cotton).

LOL. That would be great for people who have an ADV with one RBA.

It would never work for me. I switch off between thirty flavors, and refill nearly all twice a week. Flavor rotation to the nth degree.

But.... but......

16 ounces of 30 flavors would... yeah, break the budget.... but have you in juice for a while, since that's 3.75 gallons....

(Heck, you make me feel like a piker, with only about 10 - 15 going at any one time! :laugh:)

As you have appeared here similarly on at least one previous recent occasion, it seems your confessions ring hollow. Perhaps you are failing to learn. I suspect I needn't offer much of a rally cry to find agreement that some stringent form of correction is in order.

I'm over my limit this month, but with all the sales I stocked up on all the coil heads and liquids I need. Only bought liquids I know I like and will vape so it isn't money wasted. =)

I've actually gotten my vaping down to about $35 a month (unless I get new gear that is, which isn't often anymore).

Yeah, I spent my budget for July and August. But then, I bought enough supplies to last that long without another order till the Labor Day sales. So I'm good with it.

Judge Breezy, perhaps she is relieving her sense of guilt through PIF. We must hope for the best.

Wow, great buy! What new flavors are you waiting for? I haven't tried any of the Inawera line yet.

Bergamot, Spicy Biscuit, Tobacco Symphony, Black Tea, Desert Voyager, Wild Rose, Cherries.

I got into the rotation of many flavors when I was trying to maintain interest in vaping while using no nic. It helped, but once I decided to relax and let a little bit (3mg) back into my life, things settled down.


Sorry about the sudden disruption. I got called to sit with a hospice patient.

One order of batteries from FT. Might be a good idea to wait at least until that arrives. Part of my scaling down was trying to see how long I could wait once I was expecting no vapemail. That thread is crazy, and one reason why I started this.

You are spending a lot on postage, with small orders from multiple vendors. Might be best to switch to wishlist contemplation.

Welcome to the group, and may your bank account grow!!
