With DIY, I am down to 2.4mg/ml. That is another cost-cutter, since nic base is much more expensive than pg/vg. I rarely over-nic, but I am more vulnerable to the symptoms.
Have you ever calcualted how much you spend each day, week, or month on vaping?

In same boat as 0mg Meniere, I have a monthly budget and that's it. So after bills, leaves me with about 100 bucks to buy monthly supplies. (first month vaping)This month I spent $30 on analog RYO. and $45 on spare battery and topper and juice. Now the juice was 1/2 ounce bottle which is about 15ml, and it only lasted me 2 1/2 days. At $13.50 per 1/2 ounce bottle + $2.50 shipping. So I have found its not affordable for me to purchase juices anymore cause it would be $160 a month just on juice. Even If i bought them all at once paid 1 shipping it still puts me at $140 which is more than my budget will allow untill I finish paying off my cabin. So this next month will be buying a Vamo V5/batteries/charger possibly a good tank which will be about $70 bucks all together/ and spending about $30 on analogs. July I will be buying my DIY juice supplies and NO analogs. SO, hopefully as long as nothing comes up i have to spend any cash on I should be smoke free by July. Wish me luck... i need it after spending 300 on my truck in the last 2 months.
I am always quite astounded at these statistics. I have a reliable 3.7 volt rechargeable battery/atomizer/tank/tip device which holds 1ml of e-juice. I fill it close to full each morning with two drops of pure VG, 4 drops of 24mg rum, I drop of 6mg fruit mix, 1 drop of 6mg menthol and 1 drop of vodka. This lasts me all day with lots of vaping and costs almost nothing (certainly less than a dollar). I would say this is equivalent to smoking about half a pack a day in the old world. I'm still using all of the parts from five months ago!
This subject comes up time after time. I am wondering if we could ask for a forum of our own, since the subject does run counter to the ECF culture. It is worth considering.
I just sent a message to a mod about it. We'll see.
I just like bunches of flavors, and yes, I vape a lot. I also want to lose some weight.
Ever heard of "Oops, I've been spending too much?"

If you're talking about limited income, vaping still beats analogs in terms of cost.
You could be good for a week or two, with a 15$ 30ml bottle of good quality juice.
One cost saving trick I use:
Take a 50/50 pg/ vg blend( the only kind my B&M makes), bump the nic up to 18 and ask them to add double flavor.
Grab a bottle of 100% pure vg from the health food store (small bottle is about 7$) and you can "cut" your juice with the VG.
I usually use 4 parts juice to 1 part VG, it helps to spread you're juice further while also having all the benefits if higher VG juices( big clouds and gentler on the throat, IMHO).
80/20 vg/pg blend at 12% is perfect for me.

DIY = .09ml X 10ml per day, $00.90
Problem now is I'm hooked on WTA nic...
DIY = $2.09 X 5ml per day, $10.45
Still in the long run I've saved thousand$ not buying cigarettes and only spent 10'$ of thousand$ getting here...

My wife and I started vaping just over a year ago to quit smoking and my ticker on the bottom says @ 9K not spent on cigs. Other than our 2 Provari's, I buy all my gear out of coops and having to sample as we can say all types of gear, so you have to spend in the beginning to learn and discover the vape that is best for you. I now have stopped all the impulse buying of shiny new gear I can say now so far I've spent bout thousand dollars on my vape gear for both my wife and I including the 2 Provari's, mechs, mods, wick, wire and rebuilding tools. I rebuild all my coils not to save money but the massive jump in vape quality from the stock heads.
Juice for us is for my wife is bout 5mls a day so bout $25 a month and I depending on the build-du-jour I can vape 10+mls a day. So we spend @$75 a month on juice between both of us and none of that even comes close to the amount we spent on cigs over the last 22 years we've been married.

I got a response already!! I'll set the wheels in motion tomorrow, and see what happens.
I spend way too much. Definitely more than when I was smoking. I think it's because of the new hobby thing but I'm trying to turn over a new leaf and I don't think I spent any money in the last week.
I'm scared to actually see what I've spent total. Especially because I had quit smoking before I decided to start vaping again and wasn't spending money on smokes (aside from having them once in a while "social smoking" and then craving them for days). Then again, if I don't vape, I'd probably end back up on the cigs eventually.
After my provari, many egos which I've given to other people, all of my kanger tanks (there's quite a few) and now my mech setup, plus the loads of liquid I go through (and sometimes spill *le sigh*) yea, I'm not sure I want to know the total cost, or monthly cost.
But like I said, I'd probably start smoking again,,, Fkn peer pressure! So its probably money saved either way =D

I am 8 months smoke free today ... bought an eVic and 3 Provari minis with IBTanks for $675 ... spent about $500 on vender juice and DIY ... just bought 5x30ml of the 5Pawns mixology juice for $115 ... I have 1,000s of ml in liquid and found what devices work perfect for me.
I've spent $1,500 to stock up and now go through $50/mth in cartos and 2-3ml juice per day.
In comparison ... smoking cost me just over $200/mth and $2,500 per year ... drinks are on me
