How much $ are you saving?

[ThunderT]

Analog prices are all over the place, mine ( Winston ) are $4.50 a pack not that much compared to some. So I'm just curious how much were your analogs and are you saving money vaping?

Ive been vaping for just 2 weeks and Its been fun finding ejuices and hardware so it's going to be a while befor I "break even" and start saving money. Side note: now that I vape I believe if it cost the same as smoking analogs I still wouldn't go back to them.

I spent $12.00 per week for 1 carton Rez smokes. I really didn't quit to save $$ but more so for my health. Presently spending less than $2.00 per week on delivery device and juice.

I'm sort of guessing, but about 30 percent of what I was spending on cigarettes at $8 a pack I spend on vaping. Some months (all 6 of them...) are worse than others. I started DIY'ing juices this month and the wallet took a pretty good hit. The girlfriend switched to vaping a week after I did so I'm suppling goodies for two but overall it's still way cheaper.

I just need to figure out how to get my packages of goodies in the house and into the basement without her seeing them. There seems to be some concern on her part on how much of the grocery money I'm spending on ecig stuff I really really need...

With prices here being 11$ average, and local hardware supplier costs, I expect to be paying ~10-15% after July 18th. Though my current kit is being passed on to wife once I order a new kit, we'll be in the black by the end of July.

Who needs to eat as long as you have juice, right?

As for me, I was spending $30 a week on a carton of smokes. The first couple weeks I was vaping, I spent more than I would have with smokes, but since then, I've spent less than I would have on smokes. I guess I got lucky when I realized that I seem to like simple fruit flavored juices, so DIY is a cheap, easy route for me.

Actually for myself I'm more amazed/ impressed/ disgusted with the number of analogs I haven't smoked- 6794...I guess I just always subconsciously and purposely avoided taking a true tally of the number and this really hits home.

I used to spend 225.00 a month on cigs went to local casino every 1st of the month for my cartons. I have been on ecigs for 7 mos now and even with my problem of wanting to try everything I see I have saved money.

I'm saving quite a lot. Last winter I was spending nearly $200 a month on cigarettes. Now I spend about $40 a month on 510 LR XL cartos and e-liquid.

 

[Jason McRoy]

I was spending about $190.00 per month on my smokes and about $125.00 on my wife.

I have been vaping for a month and the savings haven't caught up yet because of the initial investment. I am still almost breaking even. Started DIY last week and I currently have purchased everything I will need for at least another month.

By this time next month I will be seeing the savings quite a bit.

I am also new to vaping and so grateful for this site,peoples time and information. Two weeks without a analog and I think the first 2 weeks are the toughest. This is after all not the first time I tried quitting but has been the easiest time thanks to vaping. I am not saving a dime but I don't care as long as I stay away from tobacco/ analogs. I think once someone finds there favorite juices this could save quite a bit not to mention the health benefits. I was spending 40.00 a week at nearly5.00 a pack of marlboros here in the south east.

I'm pretty sure I know how much, but were we supposed to save it?.................

I was speeding about $300/month on smokes and am still in the hole compared to vaping because I tried everything new (that slowed down and I've been getting closer to breaking even). What I didn't realize (and have no way of counting) is that I am still saving because I'm not getting an iced coffee or bag of beef jerky or what ever little other impulse purchases I used grab at the convenience store when I'd stop to pick up smokes. I used to buy 3 packs of smokes every 2 days so probably spent another $100 a month just on junk.

 

[Spazmelda]

I'm saving quite a bit, even though I'm creating a big stockpile of nicotine and cartomizers.

If you subtract the cost of a provari, batteries, and charger from my signature banner it would be close to being accurate.

ETA: some of that savings comes from not buying nicotine gum anymore either. I used to spend, oh... Probably at least $30/month on gum. Probably more like $50/month most of the time.

 

[Mrgreen819]

Cloud Wizard thats a excellent point! I no longer stop at connivence stores unless I need gas. I too bought something else while there that I didnt need or plan on. All that adds up fast!

 

[LucentShadow]

Eh. I was spending about $30/month on RYO cigs, and I've averaged around $125/month on vaping so far...

I've got a lot of stuff, now, so I don't really need to spend much for a long time, but I probably will anyway.

 

[yzer]

I still drop by for snacks at the gas station or convenience store where I purchased cigarettes. I like my Tillamook beef jerky and pepper beef sticks. It's a guilt-free reward that I use to treat myself for being a good boy and not smoking.

The Pakistani clerk at the Chevron station asks me "Still no cigarettes?" I say "Nope" and he says, "That's good!"

 

[AceCC]

After the initial set up (mod, batts, DIY juice and supplies), the only real expense comes from the cartos (of which I keep a huge stockpile). I calculated that for my wife and I the expense of vaping for a year is a measly $200-$250. That's close to $20/mo.

 

[Startle]

At this point I don't know if I'm saving $ or not and don't really care.

I am however very aware that I am saving my health and life and that's not something anyone can put a price tag on.

Vape On!
