Volcano kit and extras=110.00, sold that one so actual spent was 20.00.
(3) 401s=150.00, includes lots of extra batts and chargers
(3) 510 kits=105.00
(1) KR8=free, won in contest
(4) 801 kits=130.00 but includes lots of extras
(2) Iken lazers=30.00, one free for beta testing
extra batts and attys=100.00
liquids=approx 400.00 but includes DIY supplies
misc: bottles, cases etc=50.00

Total is roughly 1000.00 in less than 3 months but I have enough supplies to last for a very long time.

Very sorry for your loss. Been there myself. We adjust somewhat but things are different. Glad you made it back.

I'm still a newb - ordered my first 510 kit from Cignot on 3/6, received it and starting vaping on the 10th. After a few days I started ordering more stuff after getting a feel for what I'd need. I've since ordered 2 more 510 kits since you can't buy the separate components for less than Cignot sells the whole kit for. I've also ordered a total of 133ml of juice and a DC charger. I now have:

5 manual batts
1 manual batt
6 atomizers (cleaning and reusing them)
15 prefilled carts (cleaning & reusing them)
3 AC chargers
1 DC charger
133ml juice (about 20ml already used)

All this for a total of $231 including shipping to date. If push came to shove, as long as I can charge my batts, I'd be good to go for awhile. Yesterday morning I smoked my last 2 analogs. The habit of 2 with morning coffee and the newspaper was the hardest to break - but only a habit and no longer a need once I had started vaping. This morning I dropped that habit too because I COULD!

Alot of the costs associated with analogs are hard to calculate beyond just the cost for the cigs themselves and a lighter now and then. IE: better health and feeling of well being, less crap floating around to discolor everything in your dwelling, all the social stigma - stinky breath, house, car, clothes. The list goes on and on. Quite a bargain in my book.

i just pulled all my cost's from the emails from goodprophets and eliquidplanet... as for juices, i just order a 24mg 30ml bottle and two 5ml 24mg bottles of apple and cherry... just to see what they're like if worse comes to worse they are a lot smaller and easier to carry around than that 30ml bottle....

i do like the kr808 the most but i need MORE power... GG looks good, but then again the simplicity of the "boxmod" looks appealing, ill do that from the guts of the auto battery when it peters out. and chain vaping on 808 autos with the 510 and the 808 is really hurting the batteries. hmmm..... frustrating

add another 32.50....
1 x 380mAh Mega Manual Battery for KR808D-1 & DSE901 In 3 Colors (KR808D-1) = $10.00 Color White

1 x JOYE510 White manual BATTERY(Blue LED) (JOYE510) = $8.50 (yea lost my 510 batt for sure)

1 x Manual Battery for KR808D-1&DSE901 In 3 Colors (KR808D-1) = $8.00 Color White

(just got my juice from GP today... not to fond of the Dekang though, it'll be my fall back)

And i am wearing out my PT for my 808, wires wearing through the rubber at the base of the PT.

And forced the mrs's to by her own 510, since she keeps borrowing mine.
she got a nice deal....
1x Auto battery w/ LED
2x Manual battery w/ LED
2x Atomizers
1x VS pouch
1x Wall charger
5x Tipped cartridges (EMPTY)
6-month warranty
and i believe she got the pcc too
(was kinda ...... she spent $45... lol)

this is starting to be like an expensive hobby, like my photography, WHICH IS GOOD, that means its getting to a point where i can put it down and walk away mentally, lol..

I started smoking e-cigs about a year ago, and smoked them for a few months. Then I quit for a few months because the e cigs I was getting kept dying for various reasons. Mostly, because the batteries that I was getting were .....

After smoking for the past few months, and feeling how crappy my lungs feel I desided to look back into it. It looked like there had been some technological progress since I quit and desided to give it another shot.

This time around I have spent about $315. to get started again. I spent $255 at totally wicked on 1) a tornado kit, 2) a set of 5 extra atomizers, 3) a set of 5 extra batteries, and 4) a bottle of juice. Then I remebered that I really liked the juice at Johnson Creek so I ordered 2 bottles of the tennessee cured at about $45. Then I ordered a set of 10 3ml bottles on ebay for dripping. I spend about that much on anologs in 3 months, so if all this lasts that long I'll at worst be breaking even. Hopefully it will last longer than that. I might need to order more juice before than but that doesn't amount to much.

Peace
Scott

Smoke 51 on their DUO ....$149.00 for "delux" kit plus $15.00 for a 5 pack of carts....that they told me on the phone would last me two weeks based on my reg smoking.

Ran out of carts in 3 days....hadn't smoked an analog and didn't want to. Neighbor told me they had them at the mall....bought my rn4081 delux kit along with a case of carts. $250.00

Found this website and really went a little crazy ordering from China for spare parts, extra atomizers, batteries, cases, juice....for the rn 4081

tried refilling carts...hated absolutely hate getting juice in my mouth!

Learned about the dse901 here...LOVED that it was black with a blue LED ordered from zapcig....I LOVED it! $30.00

Loved that it was sooooo easy to refill and get no juice in my mouth, just excellent flavorful vaping with a great throat hit.


Ordered several more and two in pink..........$150.00 dollars worth.

Ordered a pass thru...$14.00


More juice from more places...found Tasty Vapors spent only $15.00 so far on atmomic cinnacide Will be buying all my juice from there from now on!

Learned about PCC's...bought two of those and another delux bundle kit complete with PCC for the rn 4081 from AquaVaporCig.com for $76.95 ( incase there is a HUGE ban,,lol)

Discovered another PCC was compatable for the dse 901 and bought two of those and more atomizers and batterys in fun colors...$56.00

All of the flavors I bought earlier and couldn't taste, I bought flavorings from LorAnne's , spent $28.00 still waiting for these.....after ordering them online I found them at my local Amish Market...bout a few $5.00...LOVE bubble gum added to my flavorless vanillia...now tastes exactly like Bazooka Bubble Gum.

I ordered from StrictlyEJuice.com cute little keychain juice holders, empty bottles along with blue foam, $28.00

ordered lots of spare parts from HealthCabin $126.00 worth

I really don't want to add it all up

but I haven't had a single analog since my first vape

and I would bet the total is still way lower than I have spent of every other stop smoking method out there and didn't work over the years! Cigerettes are 7 bucks a pack here, I smoked 2 packs a day.....It's a win/win for me!

 

[LostInDaJungle]

Wow, some crazy money being spent in here!

I won't count the money that Drew over at Nhaler took from me without me ever receiving a product.

I've been vaping since July 2009.

My first 9 months, I spent $140 for a 510 kit, chargers and juice.

I recently put out another $160 for a mod, and a year's supply of juice.

It's been a huge money saver for me. Cigs for 9 months would have been roughly $1,100, and I live in a state where cigs are fairly cheap.

(9 months x 30 days x $4 a day = $1,080)

$940 in savings?? Not too shabby.

I finally added up what we'd spent this first month (first order was from China, so we didn't start vaping until about 2 1/2 weeks ago): $1482.90! But, that's for two people, who got frustrated with bad 510 attys right away so switched to V4L VKs, and who have been trying out a LOT of flavors (not to mention stocking up in case of a ban). We spent approx. $600 a month on analogs, and I figure we've got at least 4 months' supply of liquid/cartos/parts set aside so...we both agree we're doing fine! And while he's only 2/3 off analogs, I'm completely free and feeling GREAT! Woooo! Can't put a price on that, eh?

 

[yanks21]

$1377.86

That is not a MISPRINT

 

[lizziebith]

I'm with ya Yanks!

How long have you been vaping?

 

[Parks51]

Both my girlfriend and I started vaping together. We bought two 510 starter kits from myfreedomsmokes. We bought a 10ml sampler pack as well. Shortly thereafter, we bought enough semiconductor components to make a few battery mods.

In addition, we bought a stock of RY4, a 30mL, 60 mL, and 125 mL bottle. My girlfriend bought two more juice bottles.

All said and done, we are good on batteries, atomizers, juice, and what-not to vape for a good three months. We've spent around 350 for everything. That's conservatively estimating.

 

[Glo82]

I don't even want to think about it....I consider my sig accurate as I only calculated my cost to get started up, but I bought a bunch of stuff this weekend when I realized my favorite flavor right now is vanilla! And of course to make shipping worth it, I bought another 40 dollars worth of stuff.

So far, I have spent about $350+. I've only been vaping a week!

I'm going to hold off until I try some of the flavors I bought and probably do some trades as I get to know what I like.

I love my vapor king xl, so I won't be experimenting with models. Just will be experimenting with flavors and buying new batts if they come out with some new colors I like in the xl. But my 2 orders should last me awhile, especially if I work the cart and juice trading section.

 

[omgitsthr33]

At first I was afraid to find out how much I spent on e-cig stuff to start. But, I took a deep breath and totaled it up. So far I have spent $300 on two kits, parts and e-juice. So compared to others, I feel pretty good about it. LOL

I am sure I will be spending more over the next few weeks.
