I purchased a KR808D-1 kit from Vape4Life ($125.00) .....came with 2 bats, 5 pre-filled carts, 5 blank carts, pass-thru, wall charger, USB charger, and car charger, PCC, and an E-cig case. Naturally, I then ordered several flavored juice samplers ($10.00) each, 4 more batts ($11.00 to $16.00 each)......more blank carts, more juice flavors from various companies (some good and some not so good). I think I've spent almost $300 so far and set for a while. Just ordered my last battery, cart, and juice. Should be okay for a while.
Thanks for the warm welcome Teebz...i'll be sure to ask around if any inquires arises....
Cheers....
I spent about 400 bucks in the first month and then maybe 200 bucks every month for the first year.
But I am stocked to weather the FDA storm when it hits.
I'm 14 months in and I still spend a hundred here and there on the latest and not so greatest

Wow, compared to some of you guys, I'm an El Cheapo! I just got my first supplies last Monday.
1st Order
EGO double kit
5 blank EGO tanks
About $45
2nd order
5 cartomizers from ValueVapor
$11
3rd Order
2 syringes
4 5ml bottles various flavors
2 EGO tank atomizers & cones
About $42
4th Order (yesterday)
4 10ml bottles from FSUSA
about $24
Total in one week = $122
However, I'm set for about a month at least, and at roughly $55/carton for V. Slims 120's, I figure I've already saved $98! (or will have in a couple of weeks)
I am going to get another USB charger, and I think a PCC. But in another month or so. What else I come up with has yet to be revealed. I'm too damn happy with my EGO to go into all kinds of mods!

Oh my, I don't want to think about this...
Start-up: $75 for my ego and some yucky juice
Then I started buying juice.... I've got over $300 into juice, but I've also got about 600mL on-hand. It'll take me ages to go through all of it...I'm still chasing my all-day flavor. Problem is, the 30mL bottles are just such a good deal, can't resist.
I've also got another $40 into spare atties and an aluminum drip tip.
So overall, after about 2 months of serious vaping and some insane juice buying, I've got about $450 into it. I've not spent $150 on smokes, though...and man do I feel better.
As an aside, the classifieds on this forum are a great way to try out some new juices and meet some cool people all just for the cost of shipping. I've been through 4 great trades so far and plan on doing many more...

$90 on mall kiosk "super cigarette" (read as super rip off!--looked it up and you can get them for $4 each for a case of a 1000 from china. can u guess who's making beaucoup money here?")
$17 on eliquid from wordupecig.com
then lasted two and ahalf weeks before the atomizer crapped out.
one week later after smoking analogs and then coming down with a vicious sinus infection....
$20 on npro duo at 7-11
$20 on eliquid at a smoke/head shop
$20 on another npro duo b/c the battery went out on the first 2 weeks later (at least I thought)
$20 on five pack of cartridges of npro duo b/c i burned up the first two
$20 on another bottle of crap eliquid from aforementioned smoke/head shop (this sinus infection messed with my planning and foresight lol)
$20 on a THIRD npro duo in an emergency b/c my second battery went dead and i didnt want to smoke analogs!
$70 on 60ml of assorted liquid from wordupecig and a passthrough with adapter for my cartos and a 5 pack of cartos
total = $300
and now i have 3 working batteries (i think they got a little juice in them but needed a little time to air out and they work fine)
three chargers (already had a wall and car usb adapter so now i am set in the car, near a socket and on the laptop)
9 cartomizers (ruined 2 and 2 still unopened)
and my 70$ order on its way.
I am good for another few weeks and maybe when i save up enough i will move up to the ego t and can save my duo stuff for emergencies or to convince friends to do the better way to smoke: vape!
love this thread and glad to be part of this community. thanks for all yall sharing...wouldnt be enjoying this as much without you.

much more than analogs too(too scared to count), but I feel great and thats all that matters!
My initial cost was $115 for 2 DSE901 starter kits, 2 PT's, and juice. About 4 months of vaping, I got a "Stick" for $25. Then a 5v ST and 5v Glv. I've kept my expenses down by buying at discounts, co-ops, etc.
Right now, I've laid out quite a bit for supplies, but it should last me 3 months if not more.
In the long run, I'm still saving $$ vs. cigs. Not to mention my health.

I have been tobacco free for 11 days and this is all I have spent
Sorry if its messy I had to cut and paste from a few different orders and don't have a hour to clean it up. The T-Rex kit was for my GF though she tried my eGo and I got her hooked and off analogs.

A couple hundred on Greensmoke (Yes, I was uninformed... but they did get me off analogs) and then a few weeks later, a couple hundred on my totally bad-... Prodigy V3.1 (with some extra Joye attys and a bunch of Boge cartos) and probably a hundred-plus on e-juice (so far).
Now that I have solid equipment, the savings from ditching analogs (health and monetary) will start to roll in.
Despite the initial costs, I am one happy vaper... and like Ruben said above, you can't put a price on your health.

I've been using the eGo-T tank for about five days now. For the kit, plus all the juice I had ordered, I'm up to about $140.
I live in NYC and my smokes were $12 a pack (1 1/4 pack per day). I'll be in the black very soon.

It might take me a minute. I don't care though its worth every cent. I have enough supplies for the next 6 months or so pretty much. Chemo costs a lot more....
In the big picture, the saving of money is just lagniappe.
Best of luck to you.
