How can I save money ????

[JakeTheV&pe]

I just want to see what your views on this topic is......PRICE.

Right I am from the UK, its frickin expensive for any of the stuff over here.

I amm paying about £19.99 ((not sure what that is in $ but id of thought at least $30+)) just for 30ml bottle of E-juice.

How can I save money?????? but still keep quality?

Also with the PV equipment, a atomizer for my Tornado tank is £9.99 and a fresh battery is £14,99 **megga 1000mah**...
Is there anyway I can directly save money???


PS me and my wife are slowly setting up a on-line store going direct to the companies like Joy-Tech, but for the next few months untill money is available for our business adventure...How can I save money on my personal vapour stuff????

Any help would be great!!! and if its from US stores, what would I be paying to get the things to sunny England ??

Cheers guys!!

I've no experience in saving with vaping but know that many have had success in making their own ejuice or DIY. You may want to check out the threads on mixing your own juice to save money.

Good luck!

I myself have spent alot of money because I had to try everything lol!

Wow yea no saving here, I will be watching this thread tho to see if someone has that solution to our problem... That don't include sewing lips shut because i would hate to have to vape my PV through my nose...
Good luck with your adventure... So for now this is how i save http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/classifieds-swaps/ hmm actually that makes me spend also... LOL

DIY will save you tons of money I have been making my own for quite awhile now and it tastes so much better than any flavors that I bought from vendors.

Good luck to you.

Hmmm, DIY hah?I think I'm gonna check that out... The fun goes on & on lol!

DIY E-Liquid

Liberty-flights in the US is one of the most economical suppliers. They're headquarters are in the UK. Have you shopped at their UK store? +1 for the classified section. You can get great deals on juices and equipment from people willing to ship across the pond. I'd suggest that before trying DIY if your goal is to save money. I've spent triple-digits on my DIY adventure in a couple of months. It's an expensive, fun and wonderful hobby but not a money saver for me. YMMV

Good thoughts of great bargains your way

As suggested above, DIY instead of vendor juice at 1million % markup... As you are in touch with Chinese companies anyway, look at someone like Healthcabin for your hardware. If you spend about £100 or more it is definitely cheaper despite shipping costs.

Good luck with your business venture.

It really can be fun to make your own flavors plus you are able to make them with as much flavoring as you like. You are able to make more customized juice than what is available through a vendor.

If you read in the DIY thread posted above you will learn exactly how to do it. It really is not hard at all.

Thanks this place is GREAT! A bit like a corn maze but I'll get there!

DIY is the way to go to save money and lots of it! The initial investment is a bit pricey but soon levels off. I am making 0mg 30ml bottles with 20% flavor for about $1.80 a bottle! I am figuring $.22 per ml for the flavorings (FA/TFA). I vape 2 ml per day so it costs me roughly $44.00 per year in eliquid! You bet I DIY.

Don't forget mods, both battery and tanks. The Puck Mod, as an example, is inexpensive to build and maintain as are syringe tanks. As an added bonus the tanks seem to keep cartos alive for longer, are consistent, and don't leak, my experiences.

Between this and the DIY juice suggestions you should be able to save some money..

Good Luck to you!

[araczynski]

as stated earlier, liberty-flights should have a UK site. healthcabin.net has typically cheaper prices and cheap shipping (at least to the US, i would assume euroland as well).

and of course DIY for the juice, after you finally figure out what your favorite couple flavors are....that's the hard part... after i figure out what i like i might try my hand at DIY, but then again the flavors i seem to like so far are about $13 to $15 for a 30ml bottle, not sure if its worth the hassle at those prices for me to bother setting up a chem lab in my basement.... last thing i need is for people to think i'm cooking .... or something.

DIY your juices. Initially some investment but am now mixing 30 ml X 30 mg for approx. $2.00. Watch for discounts and sales. Many websites offer newsletter updates. Consider irdering from Chinese companies. Make absolute sure you order enough otherwise multiple orders + shipping = $$.
Good Luck with the business.

Liberty-Flights.co.uk and try this discount code - used to give 15% off there ECR69

You are the one that chose a tank model. Tank attys are probably the most expensive attys.

Use plain 510 atomizers instead of the more expensive tank or Ego coned ones

Learn to use Boge cartomizers - I use thin clear juices with 20% or less VG and I can get 10+ days use out of a Boge and here they cost under $2 each. I only use atomizers to test juices and vape some I won't put in cartomizers.

For slim ecigs only buy sealed manual batteries so you don't damage/kill the batteries with juice leaks.

The best way to save really is to pay out front a good pv and rebuildable atomizer will last and save in the long run

 

[dormouse]

You can also save with a mod like E-power or other mod. The batteries are standard industrial protected Li Ion batteries or AW IMR batteries which cost about $5 each in the US.

Also visit the UK forum in National Forums as well as the Uk Classified and vendor sections of Buying & Selling. maybe you just don't know where the deals are.

And just UK in general - you are not a cheap country. Stuff is expensive in your country.

Give it time, geesh. How much did you spend smoking?? I use to spend $5 - $8 a day smoking. With vaping I'm spending about $0.75 a day. And I have one of the most expensive PV's on the market.

Hunt around online for bargains, they exist!
Only buy what you need - if you're buying heaps of stuff it's going to take a lot longer for you to turn a profit on quitting!

and as mentioned just above, wait a while. Once you get a stash of juice, spare atomisers, and a setup that works for you, the cost per month will plummit and you'll be back in black in no time!

stick with it!
