Quite a bit. But then, I'm over the initial excitement, gotta have everything faze. Basically at this point I have good, working equipment and I only pay for liquid and juice delivery devices. My atties and clearos seem to go fine for months and months when cared for right. Seriously, I'm still using atties that I got when I first started dripping, like 4 months ago. It's starting to get ridiculous lol. So basically maybe $25 every 4 or 5 months for new atties/clearos. As for juice, I go through about 4fl oz a month. I'm really stuck on one particular juice from one particular vendor....that just so happens to be a very reasonably priced vendor. So $35-$50 a month in juice (depends on what I order and how much at a time. Buying in bulk is cheaper, but I don't always want so much of the same thing). So a month? That's like $55 a month max to vape for me.
Compared to my cig habit? Pack a day at least. I liked Camel Crush or regular Marbs, which are about $5.50 a pack in my neck of the woods. I never bought by the carton, because I always swore my next pack would be my last...yeah right! Lol. So it was about $165 a month for me to smoke. I'm saving about $110 a month.

Do we include the potential Dr's visit savings?...hold on, lemme grab the good calculator.
Seriously though; the potential savings to our health that most of us believe are there haven't been quantified that I know of, but someone aside from Big Tobacco (i.e Big Pharma) is likely also be getting quite a pay cut.

I was spending 350-400 a month on cigs, now I could spend $40 on e-juice and be a happy but have been working on my collection... lol
I smoked 2 pks a day @ $4 ech* !! so that is the amount showing on counter &
I have spent about $650-$700 now... started DIY within the 1st month of vaping...
last time I added it up & divided I was @ about $30 a month cost wise ...
I have Batts that are still working & used daily,
that are over a year & a half old (ego's & rivas) .
& I try new stuff all the time ....just not mods
oh & I have over 9 months worth of back stock DIY base & VG
& IDK 'bout 30-40 flavor options. & probably 30 new ce type carto's
& tanks & replacement heads ...
So if you buy the right stuff & keep using it & DIY & clean your CE's ...
You can save an amazing amount of money!
*2010 price, higher now I do believe.

I'm not quite at a month into vaping yet. I haven't started saving any money either. For July, my total was $374.74. That includes my kit with all the necessary vaping essentials and five juice and accessory splurges. For August, so far I've spent $77.19. Yes, I'm in the red. I was buying the yellow pack of American Spirits at $5.99 per pack at about 6 packs a week. So that adds up to $143.76 spent on analogs per month. (Give or take buying a couple packs for my boyfriend or extra stressful times.) After I'm done tasting as many pre-made juices as possible I will be entering into the world of DIY juices! Though that could take awhile. I'm not worried though. Now when I spend my whole paycheck on food, gas, animal food, bills and entertainment for the week I don't have to worry about having to figure out where I'm going to find the money for those cigarettes. Hey, I've got $10 left to spend for the week. Oh man! Well turn that frown upside down Buster Brown. It's not going towards analogs! Soon the boyfriend will be vaping as well and I've already got enough juice for both of us! lol I won't be buying the Provari anytime soon either. (Stupid budget!) It's okay though. I'm very satisfied with my Silver Bullet. So I'd say maybe within the next four months I should work my way into the black. Then I'll start actually saving some money. Then I shall have a Provari! Bwahahahaha!
Vape on I say, vape on!

Probably will be saving sometime in the future.
Buying kits for the kid and her squeeze and juices for them uses some of the potential savings.
And then there is always that "nifty new whatever , I just have to try it".
But still worth it if they quit the real smokes and I stay off them.

It's freaking me out you people that are paying 4-5-6 bucks a pack for smokes
they are 7.25 a pack for marlboros around here
I havent saved any money. Becuase I made mistakes in buying
But all the equiptment is getting recycled
The Blu starter kit went to my mom already
And thursday when my Ego twist kit gets here She will get that as well
So I am about 4 weeks away from breaking even

Great attitude thunder..definitly saving money..at first it costs more as you need to stock up..find your juice ..pv and the likes..after the initial if you don't go crazy buying anything shiny or try to keep up with the jones's you'll be fine....good luck ..Joe
Eventually all of you will start saving money!
In 39 months I spent about $1800.
In the same time savings from not buying cigs were $6688 (my signature).
You do the math.
P.S.: I can get on submarine and travel submerse for 2 years with the vaping supplies I have on hand.

^^^ I would love to see your 'travel kit' haha
My master list is on my other computer, but I've spent roughly $2000 on supplies since I switched to vaping. Subtract that from my signature and I've saved a used car or a vacation!

Recently went to Mexico for vacation and took with me just 3 devices - Provari, E-Power and Ego Twist.
BTW - it almost looks like we are the lost identical twins - almost same start time, spent and saved money.
As of right now I'm $695.36 in the red. I got into it knowing that there would be upfront set up costs to get going, I spent the money where I knew it would last and I would be happy with it instead of wasting money on a bunch of different gear. While it's still very new to me I just have a few things I need to figure out to be where I want to be. From here on out it will just be juice and carto costs and maybe a couple more batteries and tanks for the ProVari's.
I should break even in about 6 months and from there I should save about $120/month, not taking into account all of the energy drinks, alcohol, etc I'd buy at the gas station. I also quit drinking a couple days before starting vaping which for me equates to a savings of somewhere around $300-$400/month, give or take. This hobby gives me a safer outlet so that is priceless, but I also accredit it to the savings from not drinking.

totally an estimate but it was about $6.06 at about 5 packs a week so $121.20 per month, so far i'm at $245 on vaping, but i have a decent stock pile of juice and enough cartimizers and atomizers to last me atleast 6-8 months....if i don't get itchy for a bunch of new juice, i'll be even in roughly another month or so and then i'll be up money there after
however i'm also gaining time...not only health, but i now sleep in later in the mornings because i don't have to stop before work for a pack, i don't have to randomly make sure i have enough analogs, and i'm not buying random red bulls or water at the store when i was picking up my analogs

getting even was pretty easy for me, as i was a 2pad smoker living in ny. paying almost $12 a pack. been vaping exculsively since sept. 2010, minus all the juice i had to try before going to diy and all the gear i have. i have saved roughly 7k in that time, unfortunetly with surplus cash comes ways to spend money elsewhere.
but all in all i feel healthier, in better shape then i was when i switched, and i dont stink anymore. Not to mention food taste better.

Still breaking even, if not over that mark.
1/2 pack - to almost a full pack on bad days @ about $9US a pack, less if purchased in NH ($7?)
I'm down to 2-5 cigs a day. Hoping to quit completely soon. Some days are better than others, need to find my all day vape.
