I just cleaned the rest of my stash out. These are my keeper's that I listed. You may keep on eye on me for juice. Once I place my orders, I will go through the new ones and weed them out and post on classified. I know that notcigs is coming out with the VVPV which I will get when available.
I started with a $90 "starter kit" from http://store.smokingstick.com/, and it worked great - it included a spare battery and enough nicotine cartridges to last me about 6 weeks. It was great until I lost it, at least. I ordered a replacement battery and some spare parts, but their shipping is so slow that I ended up getting a $60 unit from Amazon - which showed up three days later but didn't work (only one of the two batteries worked) so well. After I used up the cartridges that came with it, I found a brand called "Pure" in a headshop and spent another $40, and (shocker) it didn't work at all, not once, not a little bit, not at all.
In the meantime, I'd convinced a few people to switch to electric, and they all got 510s from Cignot your Midwest Electronic Cigarette store., who also sell e-liquid. Even though my new smoking stick worked fine, rather than get caught up with "subscribing" to get nicotine cartridges for $40/month, I switched over to cignot and started buying e-liquid in larger quantities - and at lower nicotine levels. A week or two after getting the 510 starter kit for $60, I went ahead and got three spare batteries / atomizers, a pair of 510 mega batteries and a mega PCC.
Now, four months later, my 510 batteries are starting to die out, so I'm moving to a larger battery (eGo) and instead of continuing to mess around with refilling my own cartridges, I'm trying out the "tank" system - thankfully, I CAN use my supply of cartridges with the new setup since the new battery is also compatible with the 510 atomizers - I've got a stockpile of empty cartridges and 510 atomizers. I've tried the "cartomizers" out as well, and they work brilliantly, but they only last for a few days - they're perfect for emergencies or a night out, but the fact that they basically die after just a few days (invariably just after I've gone to the effort of refilling them) is a little dispiriting.
All told, I've probably spent about $700 total on the e-cig thing, but I haven't smoked a real cigarette in over 9 months, and I've got a stockpile of spare parts laying around - and a pair of eGo-T's in the mail!

I spent roughly 60 dollars to buy a battery and a 10 set of cartridges as well as charger kit
I've spent several thousand dollars, but if I didn't buy anything more, I could vape for years. On the other hand, I figured that in today's dollars, I spent about $125,000 on cigarettes.
First Purchase (510 starter, PCC, 10ml of menthol)
$88
Second Purchase (3 15mls)
$29
Third Purchase (Refill on 10ml Menthol, USB Passthru, Drip Tip)
$25
Now, I think after I get paid (next Friday) I'll order some spare attys and maybe some cartos.

I know I've spent over $300 after a month, but I tend to go all out on new things. I also wanted to be I didn't run out of batteries or carts and go back to analogs in a moment of weakness. I figure I'll recoup the cost in the long run.

I'm both a consumer and an addict so I'm not one to ask. When I get 'into' something I have a tendency to go head first and all the way,
I've spent about $250 in about 3 weeks getting a Kd808 kit, a 510 kit, a disposible, cartorizers, and tons of different juices,
I went wild, I know, but I've also learned a lot and have narrowed a lot down in so far as what I like and what works for me.
Oh...I also bought a Kd808 kit for my son over in Afghanistan.
I've really been able to narrow down my 'everyday' juice and now want to experiment with nicotine levels,
I'm also looking at going with a Elegant Easy kit for longer, stronger battery life,
I need to step back and test out more of what I have before buying another right now but I think I am getting it together,
All in all, I know I will be saving money in the long run, Not the first month...not even the second month...but by the 3rd month I think I will more than break even and start getting WAY ahead,
Plus,,,I'm not doing analog which has to be an improvement for my health

First order - kr808d-1 kit with an extra battery, 10 cartos, and 10ml bottle of juice
2nd order - 5 pack of cartos and 30ml juice
3rd order - 8 x 10ml juice
4th order - 8 x 10ml juice
5th order - eGo-t kit, 5 pack of carts, 4 x 10 ml juice
Alll in all, probably close to $400 including shipping, but I am trying to find my favorite combo of hardware and juice. There are just so many flavors to choose from, I couldn't help myself.
But I cut down on analogs so dramatically as soon as I started vaping, that I have saved about $180 in the past 2 weeks. 3 more weeks and I'll be ahead.

i downloaded this and modified it to suit my needs, spent about $300 the past 3 weeks, not to mention what I spent 2 years ago when I first tried an e-cig

I got a pcc and drip tips extra carts and attys, and some different flavors right off the bat. It was all 150$ or so.
I'm going to keep ordering flavors like crazy until I find more I like. I figure I can toss out most of them if I don't like them and still waste less than analog.
