How much did you spend getting started?

[Joe.0]

Way too much...but I've been analog-free for 18 days and I'm never going back. Priceless.

 

[silentt]

Just spent 75 bucks at madvapes, started off with 510 battery and 3.2 cartomizers with some ry4 juice + extras. I also got the passthrough, hopefuly i'll be set and enjoy vaping and give up ciggs

Hopefuly i got the right stuff to make it all work..

Just ordered saturday, hopefuly it comes soon

Probably $500 between the two of us (egos, extra everything, tanks, liquid variety) - I am a believer in doing it full out and would rather have more than I need than two little ( and lots of options lol).

Hairball,

I am going to call you my Supplier!!!

I've probably spent close to $300 in the past six weeks (Ego, Reo Mini, various accessories and juices) but the costs are already decreasing. The biggest expense was because I spent a lot of money on juices that were...frankly...awful. Now, I'm getting a sense of what I like and where to buy it and I'll be avoiding those mistakes. Still hurts to look in my box of juices and see so many that I don't like at all and will never use. Then again, the cigarettes I was smoking had gone up to $7.50 a pack so I'm keeping track of costs and seeing when I begin to break even. Hopefully soon!

There's a swap/trade section on this forum, why not make up a list and see if anyone will take them off your hands?? At least you could get some of your money back .. I ordered a lot of sample size bottles have found a lot that either don't taste like anything to me or I don't like. But at least they are only 3ml bottles ., I have tons of new juices on the way an figured I'll sell any I don't like.

I haven't figured out what blend of PG/VG i like yet either ..so I'm trying different combos.

Peace,
cleo

So far, probably about $150 on a Pure starter and a Dura C XL. If others responding to this thread would detail what they bought like above, that would be a great help!

I think I am at about $250-300 range currently. Got my Ego kit, extra battery, 3 boxes of Carto's, some juice's to try. Then ordered more juice to try. Found the juice I like, ordered much more of it! Thanks for the awesome VDay sale FreedomSmokeUSA Ordered some more carto's and I am done for now. I think I have a 6-9 month supply of everything that I need now! I figure based on what I used to smoke, should break even in about 3 months. Been analog free for 11 days and not going back.

I went through V2 and bought a starter kit for myself with additional (5pack) of carts; came to about $88. Then I bought a couples kit and a 20-pack additional carts for my parents (heavy smokers), which cost about $120. Let me not forget liquid from primevaping at $30, and another $80 for blank carts from bloog. So I have past the $300 mark.. lol

OMG I have such an illness......
It's my new favorite hobby. And now that I've caved to the peer pressure from the peeps on the various Backwoods Brew strings.....
Found my most favorite PV and liquids. I'm a happy Girl.

[Adrena]

121.82. starter kit, 1 extra longer life batt, carrying case (a girl need her accessories),drip tip, an extra 5 count box of cartmazers and 45ml's of juice. (free shiping)
My shopping cart has a $75. order sitting in it waiting on a restock for my fave juice...
Another 50ml of juice in there so far. (more cartmazers and other thing too)

So now my question as someone only a week old... If I'm using 3 drops a day how much (in ML) juice do you think I'll need each month, anyone? I'm I going overboard on not enough? most are samplers so I get a taste of things....

 

[Turkish]

Wish I could help, Adrena; don't know. Btw, f&$^#% congrats to us all for leaving the analogs aside..

Of course, being a greenhorn (newbie) in e-cigs, I have to say that I am persuaded in buying liquids and blank cartos to fill up myself; it certainly is cost-effective when you put it down on paper. I just do not want to spend the same or more on e-cig equipment than spending on analogs and lighters.

 

[Adrena]

I'm looking into the DIY Lord_Elpus, I have a small child at home so don't want pure nic juice around. But I think it's a good idea for me to stock up some. Like bleach I just need to find a place out o reach. So I'm thinking on the issues....

 

[SteevieG]

$86 and change for V4L starter & 25 extra cartos. A bargain in my eyes...

 

[manwithbeers]

In Canada, purchasing from Canadian Vendors. Spent $200 initially. 510 Kit $70, extra batteries, attys, drip tip, cartos, $55. Various e-Liquids and accessories like 4ml bottles, filling needle, VG and PG for diluting, $60. Taxes and Shipping, $15.

I've since ordered another $50 worth of YG only juices from a US Vendor. (Will work out to being the same price after shipping and taxes applied at the border.)

Over-all very happy. I will be saving money in just over 1 month. YMMV

Wish list. The 510 batteries are okay but I would feel better having a larger maH. I'm not nearly as hung-up on the cigarette sized device as I thought I was and really would like to hold a larger device so now I'm am considering an eGo passthrough and I think I will suit me best with the 510's as back-up.

Because you WILL like it, and you are going to run out of juice before you can get more.

I have spent about $125.00, I don't feel guilty about it (well, mayb a little) bcause i am sure to be well prepared. I have taken the advice of other members and ordered extra batts, and juice, so imo, I ripped the band aid off quick instead of peeling very slowly, so to speak.

If I'm using 3 drops a day how much (in ML) juice do you think I'll need each month, anyone?

Are you sure you meant 3 drops per day?

Because 3 drops is about one cigarette worth, give or take.
And since a milliliter is about 20-30 drops, it would take you almost 10 days to use a milliliter.

Most people use, on average, around 2.5ml to 3.0ml per day.
