I have a new calculator for e-liquid. E-Cost Calculator

How much are you saving vs analogs ?
How much is your supplier charging ?

NONE!! don't care either-It tastes way better than cigs,don't stink,and I can vape anywhere.Now maybe if I quit collecting mods,I might
break even by 2012-but that probably ain't gonna happen.

Lessee... if I don't take into account new models, stuff I give away, etc... and just stick to juice, replacement batteries, cartos...

Hmmm... I used to spend about $180/month on tobacco.

I just made a 30ml bottle of juice last night, and I figure the cost at $4.50 for the nicotine, $1.39 in flavoring, and maybe a buck for the PG/VG... let's call it $7. I'll go through about 3ml/day, so three of these bottles for the month = $21

A 5-pack of cartos lasts me a month, so let's say I get the $9 box for that.

Set aside enough for one battery a month ($5.29 for a two pack from DX), so let's say $3 for the battery allowance.

...and then add in $10 for fudge factor & parts allowance if I have to build a new battery mod if this one I like breaks (total parts cost to build it was about $15 tops) :)...

$21+9+3+10=$43 per month expenses.

Ergo, I'm saving $137 per month, approximately. That is, I would be if I just stuck to the minimum necessary to vape. I think I'll go cruise the suppliers forums now and do some shopping....

sigh...

I saved all my receipts but i don't want to find out how much I am losing. I spend far far far too much on equipment and juices. This week I think I made 4 juice orders, ordered spare batteries and charger for my secondary PV (KR8 + 901 atty) plus a spare 901 atty, a Joye 306 atty (non-LR) and Joye 306 carts to try on my 510. Not sure what else.

And just when I sort of settled in with a handful of juices I mainly vape and slowed down ordering juices, I now want to go down to 12mg so started ordering 12mg ones. Well at least it's for a good reason.

I must say I'm quite surprised that some of you are going through atts and batts at such a rate. I've been vaping for a year and although I've dabbled with big batt mods for a short period, I quickly went back to the 901s and I've vaped mostly with stock batts and two KR808 batts. I've owned only two 901 kits (that's four batts) and still using three of them, only because I actually physically lost one while on the move. I only just started using the KR808 batts about two months ago, and only at home. On the atty side, I still use the only four 901s I've ever owned and occasionally 1 LR-901.
One 510 died within 2 months, the other doesn't perform very well. I reckon, since I don't like using manuals anymore, I envisage most of my future expense will be e-liquid and maybe 2 new kits a year.

I think also it's fair to say that some places like New York will charge up to $9 for 1 pack of analogs.
