I'm waiting for the day I FINALLY am settled on exactly what I like in clearomizers and juice so I can stop experimenting!

Started out with the Drug store 21st Century E Cig, buying prefilled cartos ....and going back everyday for a week before finding Apollo online buying their Extreme kit for the wife and I....then after paying $18 for 30ml juice found Mt Baker Vapor MUCH cheaper. Now I'm on the Ego...just a regular 900mah one, no adjusting volts and like it...wife still on Apollo cigalikes but I just bought her an Ego from Discount Vapors.....have been trying out various cleaomizers ( Mini viva nova, KangerT3, CE4 and cartomizers ) now waiting for some dual coil Ego cartos in the mail.....E Liquids...still havent found the perfect flavor yet after 6,7 tries. I'd say roughly since 2/11 when I stopped smoking and started vaping I've spent about $400. Not saving money, we bought our smokes at an Indian Res tax free for $20 carton but health wise the wife's HORRIBLE cough is gone, kids say I'm looking better (??) ;). Once I FINALLY settle on the perfect clearo and juice I hope to see the $$$ slow down!!!

How about others? You going broke too? :vapor:

I've spent over 1300 bucks since starting just over 2 months ago, mind u I have the means so that's ok, but even still I'm about done with most stuff and just doing liquids now, I currently have about a 3-4 year supply of gear and about 1 year of juice, I'm about 4 weeks away from breaking even, love this hobby. Lol.

Noooo please don't, noooo close that page with the shiny stuff.......

Started with an Ego Twist and 4 tanks.
Then got an eVic.
And 4 juices.
So that is 30 +40 +110 + 40
so that totals to 220.
Then multiply that 2 (identical set up for the wife)

So about 450ish in 2 months so far. I can see the costs going down as we have settled into the juices we like and hardware being less of an issue.

Sounds just about like my wife and I Mr Stik. The hardware is settled for now as far as batteries go....still checking out clearomizers/tanks and a new supply of juices should be in the mail today....hopefully one will stand out as THE ONE!

Started with an ego-t and clearomizers. Upgraded to the twist.
Less than a month later - Found out about carto-tanks. Got a VAMO2 (VV/VW)

Finally found GREAT flavors (Fuzion Vapor) and now Ive settled down a bit.

You started right Shelia!! If I had to do it all over I'd never start on a cigalike as in Apollo....lots of battery problems in one month!

I think I might be doing good. Only $350 after 5 month and that includes startup. I have 4 various eGo type batteries, 2 rechargers a hand full of various clearomizers and 125ml of 100mg/ml liquid with proper paraphernalia. I can say the DIY mixing is a big money saver. The ejuices are now my biggest exepence. It is not necessary but I have been experimenting with flavours.

I am currently liking my setups with Cartos and Tanks. Works for me. but I am sure as I get settled in, that I will be looking for other setups and how they vape. As a non-smoker who was interested in Vaping, I started out with the Twist and also got the wife one as well. She is a light smoker and vaping was something she was very interested in as well. Didn't want to jump into an APV without knowing how long we will be in the vaping scene. So this jump means we are here to stay =)

Next leap will be some DIY juicing. The startup cost is not bad and the benefits of success far outweighs the consequences of failure.

I just checked my vaper calculator, and it says Im spending about 200 a month. However, I do have enough juice to last me months. I could probably not buy anything for a while, but I don't see that happening. I used to have 4 egos, but now Im down to two. Since I got the aga t+ working, I'm now looking for a mod, maybe an Evic to match.
