E-cigs anonymous?

[j4mmin42]

I was only a moderate smoker... 1/2 pack a day for 5 yrs...so I guess I would say that I vape less than many other people here. My initial purchases totaled around $370...after 6 months, I still have over 50ml of juice left, not counting a lost 30-ml bottle and countless lost samples. Most of my e-cigs are missing...probably on the floor of my car somewhere.
I have never actually burned out an atomizer...but the little 180mah batteries don't last forever; I'm currently down to using only my cheap 510 passthru till monday(hopefully). Recently I spent another $220 on supplies and two mod kits (xhaler and 905)-So far, it seems a small price to pay for what you get.

I am a bookeeper and had to make a spreadsheet <sigh>

Spent $750, I'm only $241 out of pocket, and have saved $268. I counted my supplies as "assets" - depreciated of course. (hey..it looks good on paper) lol

This is saving us a bunch of money, and the e-cig has helped us accomplish cutting down our smoking. Soon I hope to give them up totally........I see a new computer in my future.

 

[TWISTED VICTOR]

Well....(sigh)...I guess I used my annual cigarette budget up in...oh...3 or 4 weeks. Momma didn't find out 'til later and....8-o....you know the rest........cigarettes may have been a less painful death .

I am spending a fortune on pv's and stash (about $1000 a month). The best part about it is that not one cent went to the blood sucking analog taxman. It makes me giddy.

 

[anim8r]

Yeah, I'm up to almost 1300.00 in just over 7 weeks.

But, now I'm happy with my vp's and how to refill them myself, so it's a helluva lot more manageable (about 60 cents a day for the wife and I).

Considering we were spending over $4,000.00 a year on our habit, the initial sticker shock of figuring out the best vp for each of us is long gone.

 

[phillyd]

What is this in your picture? It looks like a battery mod with a flat button?!?!?!

It is a BB that can be purchased at AltSmoke

and thats ....
3-4 extra attys
joye510 starter with PCC
usb passthrough
some prefilled carts
and alot of juice lol
i have spent more on modding supplys ... but i consider that seperate from my esentials of e-cigs.
im going to limit myself to 70-100$$ a month on these, since it is/would be very easy to go nuts on e-cig stuff. with spending 100 a month on this im still saving $275 a month over analogs.
gotta set limits and stick to them!! lol

Lol I'm spending that much money on a lot of things. So far I have purchased 7 510 starter kits, about 9 extra batts on top of those, I have 8 spare atty's, one mod (the spade) a 510 passthrough, 510 PCC, a 901 passthrough, a KR808D-1 and a bunch of blank cartomizers, countless blank carts for my 510, and over 400ml's of juice. Wow, it all adds up so quick!

Holy Crap Travis!!! OK I know we are all concerned about a possible ban and stocking up just in case but it sounds like you are preparing for Armageddon and the end of all civilization!!!!

LOL. Many of those starter kits are for family members that want to switch to vaping. The KR808D-1 is for my grandpa. I got the 901 PT because I wanted to try a 5v passthrough, the mod I have is, well, just because, and the rest is because I'm bound to need it at some point!

The bad thing now, is I might end up having to give most of my juice to my family, as I now seem to be having a reaction to the PG and my mouth gets pretty sore if I vape a lot. I have VG on order, and hopefully since my reaction isn't bad, I can mix the same flavor VG with the PG I already have and use up the juice!

OK I was just adding up what I spent in less than a month
but just got pm so lets try again
first total=500.00
new total=626.00
now I need to know who has the best dbl no-nic juice

 

[jj2]

I got around 15 unused batteries, 25 attys (about 30 with the ones in use), extra carts, and juice is no problem since I MIY. Still need an extra charger just in case.
Also have 2 Nicosticks and three wall wart mods.
I ordered most of my stuff directly from China and have spent about 8/9 hundred so far but plan on spending more.

 

[cashresolution]

Holy cow, sounds like you should get into the buy/sell ecig business. Sheesh, atleast you could make SOME of that money back! hehe

But then we wouldn't have our stuff and we'd have to buy MORE!!

Other than maybe more juice (we have to try it all right?) and maybe one or two more kits for friends or something I'm probably done for a while.

 

[Annastasia]

Hmm, I've probably dropped 5-600 dollars in the last 7 months trying out new things and ordering juice/replacement parts. These days though, I order a couple new atomizers and some juice every month for around $40. So much better than the $300+ I was spending every month to kill myself.

$1000 a month???!!?

I am into this all of a month this Friday and I have spent $145 on 2 510 kits (total of 4 batteries, 2 chargers, 4 atomizers, 10 carts and 3 different liquids) ... I have not had a regular cig since November 20 ... I still have 1.5 bottles of kiuid and 4 carts left .... what the heck are you spening $1000 a MONTH on!?!?

 

[Toots]

Well, I sometimes wonder myself how I am spending $1,000 a month since July. But I am never going back to analogs and I am never quitting vaping, so I am ensuring that I have what I want to keep vaping happily everafter. Lots of kits, a handfull of passthrus, a few sets of mods, tons of atomizers, and copious eliquid supplies.

And unlike cigarettes, not one cent went to taxes, so I am happy with these purchases. I was becoming more enraged every time they increased the analog taxes. I love the fact that they are no longer getting the cigarette taxes from us vapers. And we know that they have their eye on increasing the analog taxes even more.

I am just doing my part to starve that tax beast. It is my duty and my pleasure.

 

[RIMP]

I'm in this group COPIOUS amts of e-liquid, diy ingredients, 510 kits, 808 kits, mods x 6 = about $2000 since 7/098-o But I'm NOT smoking and ready for the ban

That's $2150 in about 5 1/2 months, and I'm sorry I just added all that up.
8-o

Things that are crossed out I wish I had not bought.
Those things add up to about $250 more than I would like to have spent.


Now it should be noted that I have bought almost nothing in the last two months.

And it should also be noted that I have the following stocks in case of ban...
--30 510 atomizers
--30 306 atomizers
--30 510 batteries
--3 306 batteries
--2 Chucks
--300 ml of juices I like
--100 ml unflavored 48mg juice

I also gave away all of my NPro and DSE103 equipment.
And I also gave away about 70 ml of juices I don't like very much.

I honestly won't have to buy anything else for years if I don't want to.

Yikes. Uncle Sam is for sure wanting in on those cash amounts. And even with it costing that now if they don`t outlaw this stuff but stick heavy regulations on it + taxes you`ll be wishing you would have spent more now rather then getting much less for the buck then.
