How long did it take you to break even/start saving $$ ??

[mooreted]

Well, I did break even then I just bought an eGo yesterday; so much for breaking even.

 

[denali_41]

spent 200 to get started with a good ego kit.3 100mah batts,,and some different juices ,dual coil ,boge and ressurectors

analog usage cut in half overnight,,240 a month habit down to 120 month...braking even right about.....now

now comes the profit factor,,until i start buying more toys,juices etc etc

been vaping for 8 months, after 4 months i broke even. i spent $300 a month to smoke, i think im about 1k ahead. i dont think i will ever spend as much on vaping as i did on analogs.
if i spend $70 every two weeks on this stuff, im still 50% ahead.

I look for the government to start taxing ejuice at the rate cigarettes are taxed. At least that's what the bill seems to hint at. If they do some research, they'll discover that the average user vapes about 3-5ml a day. That makes a 30ml bottle last, say, 10 days or less. A carton a week is average, so we might see the $10 a carton tax extend to a 30ml bottle of juice that costs anywhere from $8 to $15 now, depending on the supplier. I'd hate to see the price of a 30ml bottle go to $25.

More reasons to DIY. I just hope they don't start taxing niquid.

I'm 525 in and 125 saved.. so in about 5 weeks I've actually spent 400. lol. but I had the $ to spend which is why I have been less selective than I otherwise would be. the first 2 weeks I spent the majority of that so it's already getting better

 

[JesikaBeth]

Yea, i am finding that I am spending a lot more $$ to start up then anticipated. That's ok, it's fun Hopefully I will start saving soon though.

Recently purchased a couple mods though, so when I figure whether I prefer 3.7, 5, or 6 volts and the correct atomizer combination I plan to buy a wooden box mod with my preferred voltage capability

That sort of thing is why I plan on getting a Buzz Pro as my first mod. (Soon, hopefully.) VV means I can set whatever voltage I want. I expect to get two VV mods, because I'm a big believer in backups.

I'm probably ahead by $150, maybe $200 so far, after vaping for 3 months. However, at first, all I did was cut down on my cigs - I've only been off them for 5 days now, so I'm going to be saving a bit more from here out. And I'm pretty stocked up, with backups, lots of juice, etc. And I've found several juice flavors I like, and played around with nic levels (which I needed to do - it was right after I started using a higher nic juice that I was able to quit.) I bought a lot of juice, trying things out, that I didn't really like, so now that I know what I like, that should help a lot.

Over the next couple of months, I can probably buy a mod a month, replace whatever juice I use, and still come out ahead compared to what I was spending on cigs. And once I've bought a couple of mods, I expect I can save that money every month.

I was spending over 300 a month on cigs, so now that I'm off them, it should be fairly easy to come out ahead.

And, of course, that's just finances. The main thing is the health aspect, and not stinking up everything around me is a very nice bonus.

My investment in vaping, for everything up until today, is right about $300.00.

OK...I/we backslid on savings a bit, and ordered some stuff online, and bought some stuff brick-n-mortar.

Since I'm now including what my wife buys in my numbers, my savings just got cut about in half for a little while.

 

[sliq]

personally for me it's not the amount i save from buying analogs.
health is paramount. saving money while at it is a bonus.

Its taken me about 3 weeks to break even but I've only spent around $120 to get started. Now if I can just keep my eyes/hands off of all the other cool stuff out there I should be a millionaire in a couple of years. lol

 

[zoiDman]

I was spending about $165/month on analogs.

With the exception on the month I bought a Provari, about $200, I have never come close to spending $165. And I bought WAY TOO MANY kits before I got my Provari.

Most months I spend about $60 between DIY e-Liquids and cartomizers, on average.

If I can stop buying other than necessities I'll probably save $100/mo

Apple's next big thing should be the iVape. A combo PV/phone!

Just went through my bank records just to be 100% sure. I bought my first ecig on July 20th. I slowed down from 2 pad to 1 pack every two days for about a month. Then a pack every 3-4 days for some of Aug. Then smoke free after that. According to the bank account I have spent 370 bucks on ecigs in that time. If I was smoking the same rate I was I would of spent ~ 800 bucks @ 5.25 a pack ~ 2 PAD (sometimes more, sometimes less). So yea, I have cut out more then half my costs. And now that I have a set up that I like I am just have juice and carto upkeep purchases. So now I am spending roughly 25 bucks on cartos for the month (15 cartos with a new carto every 2 days), and about 60 on juice. Compared to about 250 bucks a month on analogs I am seeing a great saving. Its good too because I am beyond broke lol.
