Since I have started vaping I have been spending like crazy!!8-o I decided that it is time I budget better. I plan on ordering from Ruyan direct every 3 months and spending about a 100-120 dollars it will only cost me about 1.25 a day to vape. I can order 60mls of unflavored for DIY and the rest 90mls just of juice just to have already made juice. I also will be able to get about 4 batts and 4 attys. Does anyone think this will be enough supply for 3 months? I also have right now have 10 bats and about 11 attys. I would just like some input to see if my calculations are right. Thanks :thumb: Sidenote I use a M401

I'd say you have enough batts for a while. I would take the budget money for the extra batts, and use it for more atomizers. If you do most of your vaping at home or in the car or office, look int a couple of passthroughs and save the batteries for when your on the move.

That was my original plan all along...then came the talk of a ban, and all hell broke loose. I couldn't seem to buy up enough stuff. Now that I have a reasonable inventory of my own, this is my plan moving forward. I have my own box mods, so batteries aren't even necessary. All I'll need is liquid, atomizers and Vapor King Carts...

Of course I think I'll place one more bulk order of atomizers and liquid...

Even if you have enough stock for a year or two, figure out a minimum comfort level, and renew supplies as you use them. Rotate your stock, and you'll always be comfortably stocked.

    Try to locate the M401 USB passthrough, and worry less on the batteries, at least?

    Keep a record of how many batteries and attys you go through, so you'll order an appropriate number, if trying to order only once every few months..

    Just look into the storage life of the batteries. They're no good a year from now if they're dead.

    All the passthroughs you want for $9.00 ea. at;

    TRUEMAN ECIG USB Passthrough RN4081 M401 DSE084 DSE901 DSE801 DSE101 DSE103 DSE084 KR808 - Powered by ECShop

    There is a 3+% fee and a bit more for shipping, but if you orders attys and other supplies with the passthroughs, it's still a bargin.

    Wow! The passthroughs have already reached NY! In Rochester.. They were in Hong Kong yesterday last I knew.. never seen anything like this. Rochester is only a few hours away... I may get them today. 3 days.. wow. They were sent through a service called HDL.. Trueman-ecig decided that since there were no juice or kits... just the passthoughs.. to send it this way. I was worried... now I would recommend this.. but HDL is not an option on the website. Ask them about it. I ordered 4 passthroughs so it was worth it at $9 each. total with shipping was a bit high, but WAY less then $25 per passthrough from a US supplier .

    I started vaping over 5 months ago. I spend like 500 bucks in the first month lol. I figured even if I had to pay more then real cigs it was worth it. I think over the 5 months I probly got 800+ dollars in it. But I was also going down in nic lvl ever month or so. Ended up getting lots of juice I never used. Since then I stoped vapping a few weeks after I went to 0 nic. So for me all the money spent was worth it.

    I think it would be nice to have a budget, IF we knew there wasn't a possibility of them being banned. I think that's why so many people have spent way more than they should have stocking up on attys and juices. I can't make myself a budget when I don't know if we will be able to even order juice in the next 90 days.

    You can still make a budget after you're stocked up. Figure how much juice you use and order enough to last about one year. Do the same with parts. Then as you use a few, you replace a few. If a ban goes through at any time, you still have a year to find supplies.
