This makes me sad to even try to add up. I will say this month has been my worse for blowing past my vape budget.

Just this month
Provari 175+20 for the extension
2 HH.357 44 buck
Bought a dang Vamo 50 bucks
Bought 100mls of boba's bounty another 50 bucks
Yeah i really dont think of vaping as a money saver but more of a hobby now and if i can say im still smoke free i am extremely happy and makes my family even happier

Happy holidays everyone

I don't plan on spending a fortune on equipment and supplies. I don't have a log of how much I have spent, but I know it's less than what I was spending. I guess I'll have to open my cash kitty to see how much is there. I have been putting $7 a day in the jar I was spending on cigarettes, and have taken money out when I get more juice and supplies. All I can say at this point is the jar is filling up!

My next step is DIY juice.

I spend only what I feel I need. I'm happy knowing I've saved over two thousand dollars in the past 19 months of not smoking. Currently using eGo style batts w/ Boge carts and Volcano Tubetank. I like everything about this combo. However I'm beginning to feel like I am missing out by not having the bigger, variable voltage rigs. Considering the money I have saved by not smoking I can easily justify pulling the trigger on a Zmax or maybe a ProVari to use while at home. For me it seems like natural progression instead of obsession.

$684.95 in 30 days.
Bad juice and equipment added good chunk to this tho. Could avoid at least 200$ if I had place to taste juice and HW before buying.

No complaints. Even after a month I feel much better. I can taste food, I can breathe. I can go up to my apartment without suffocating (it's just 3rd floor...)

Keep calm and vape on.

How much you wind up spending is going to be up to you, some collect, and they spend the most money. A couple of the guys I know in here spent around $500 just in this last week on new mods. Others I know spend less than $50 a month. I fit in to the latter, I spend about $20 a month on my juices and then sometimes a little extra here and there for mesh or wire, that sorta stuff.

i have accounted for pretty much all of my spending, in the time that i have been vaping, i have spent $500, granted i have juice to last me months and months, shoot when people say that they go through 5ml a day, icouldn't vape that much if i tried, and i was a PAD smoker lol!
Also i have 4 ego batteries and 1 mod that is kind of like the mvp but IMHO cooler


You will find a lot of that depends on what you are using, when I was still using just plain ol' clearos I would vape about 3 ml a day, now using rebuildable tanks I vape around 8 ml a day.

Thank you all for your reply's... I definitly dont feel bad spending money on something I love and will be saving my health!... I just ordered a bunch of DIY supplies so that should be interesting and eventually save me some $$$ when i get it down, I guess if I wanted to I could just keep using my ego and only order what I need and probably spend $20 / month or less on supplies, but what fun would that be? lol, i love looking online at new and different products and placing orders for new toys!!! I'm sure eventually it will all even out and i will start saving money, but the main reason is for my health and u cant put a price on that! Cheers everyone and have a merry christmas!!!

Take everything in my signature, add it up, then multiply times 3 for all of the stuff I've sold off. :)

I spent about $600 last week on new devices, $100 for more batts, & about $100 on e-liquid.

I would guess I'm in the minority, but I know a lot of people who spend big money on the rare & hard to get items.

Including my first disposables and convenience store ecigs, in the last month I've spent about $150.00 Now, I have enough batteries, juice and so on to last me at least a month. Because cigs are rather inexpensive here, I will have saved only $200 by not smoking as of 1/5(despite having been a heavy smoker) so my plan is not to get more "stuff" until the tables are turned!!

Ya - I wish me luck too! lmao

125€ + juices . But i've been vaping less than 3 weeks also.
But i can tell myself that i got the "perfect machine" for me. A fat 1300mah ego battery and kanger t2 with 1.8ohm coil.
I mostly vape 18mg apple juice (70/30) and mix it with 0mg VG (about 1:1) and i just love it. Gives tons of vapor and love the taste.
I dont need those VV batterys and big ugly PV's (e.g. lavatube or something like that.) because it needs to fit into my pocket nicely.

Started in late Oct as well.
$250 on hardware for me and my wife and $180 on juices so far. I have quite a bit of juices in front of me and keep experimenting.

I was lucky to have peoples to steer me on the hardware when I started and I am quite satisfied with it, but looking probably for a mod of some sort in my near future.

I was smoking Mehari's Java at close to PAD. That is close to $630 for the last 45 days on analog that I did not purchase, so money well spent since I did not touch a cigar for that period...

Been vaping for 2 months on the 29th.., I wasn't a big analog smoker but loved the 4 or so I had each day very much. I have spent a bit over $300 in 2 months, much much more than I would have smoking. I feel SO MUCH BETTER not smoking stinky's, so I feel it is money well spent. I can see myself spending about $25 a month when I get this all dialed in which is what I spent on stinky's...I DIY my liquid so that has been a side adventure on top of everything else. This is an adventure, a hobby and helps in the health department as well.

$900 including about $130 on DIY supplies. Yeah, I had to have the cobalt blue bottles in three sizes and the fancy tool box:) The tool box was totally worth it since I finally feel organized.

I have several months worth of juice.

I have saved about $700 on cigs.

I am planning on spending my xmas money on some T3's, replacement heads and another battery. I am totally paranoid about running out of supplies.

Plus some more nic, pg and vg [maybe a few more flavors. so I could spend another $150 shortly but, frankly, I should be saving money after this since I am pretty happy with my set up at this point. I have tons of spare parts and batteries. My DIY is improving and I have tobacco flavors steeping already even though I haven't vaped the last ones up yet. I will make sure I do some more flavors in a week or so to make sure I stay ahead on the flavors that need a lot of steeping.

I forgot to add that this money spent has been starting from August 11, 2012 so 4 1/2 months.

It's amazing that I could even consider giving up cigs.
