It can get pricey, especially if you buy a lot of different flavors to try them out. Always start with small sample bottles before committing to big ones.
I'd guess that I spend roughly $15 per month, but I'm fortunate in that my favorite flavor comes from a cheap vendor. (MBV). You can save a LOT by getting into DYI, but I'm far too lazy for that. :)

well the answer to that question changes all the time. lol. If you use all the juice you buy, you will be spending a lot less than whatever you used to pay for cigs. Once the quest for you main flavors is found, then it's easier to figure out. Once I started rba's, my juice consumption jumped up, but nic level is dropping down. Then if you get into DIY juice, the price for e-liquid drops dramatically.

I don't worry to much about what juice costs, I don't smoke, I Vape, and that's the main reason I started to vape. I am happier now, healthier too, have my first supply order coming for DIY juice, and I'm vaping incredible quality and quantity of vape.

I vape around 5ml a day so that comes out to about 150ml a month. I get my juice from Mt Baker Vapor so that comes out to just over $30 a month. If I was smoking I'd be going through about 4 cartons a month so I'm saving around $200 a month over smoking. That's figuring the 4 cartons are about $240 and adding the cost of a few coils to the cost of the juice.

Money on e- liquids depends on the person and how much they vape.Trying different e- liquids and finding out you don't like some of them,can sure put a dent in your wallet.But don't ever throw them away because down the road when your taste buds change,you might like a few.I vape over 5ml a day,so I find myself going to different vendors online and checking there prices.I try to figure out how long there 30ml bottle will last me(based on how many ml I vape a day).If I can afford it then I buy samples to see if I like them.I am a newbie and I am still looking for about 5 to 10 e-juices that I want to rotate because I am a chain vapor.Right now I only have 3.And just because a juice is high price doesn't mean it's better then the lower cost ones.I see you live in LA.It would save you a lot of money if you could go in person to the many e-juice shops they have and try some out.If you like 1 or 2 of them,ask them how much it cost for a 30ml bottle.If you can afford the price for any bigger bottle size,then ask for a sample to take home(5 ml),to be sure you really like it.Don't be afraid to say I don't like this one or that one.They want you to be happy and that means loving there e-juice.I like everyone else have spent a lot on e-juice.I think I spend over a hundred a month.I was a chain smoker so I would spend 3 times that much on analogs.The main thing to keep in mind is,if it keeps you off analogs it is worth it.I'm new to posting so sorry if my writing is not up to par. Happy Vaping

This is true. I also found another great use for liquids you might not like. Save them and if you get a horrible cold like I have you can vape the occasional nasty juice and not even taste it. I got a sample of a red hot cinnamon that brought tears to my eyes but right now it tastes like absolutely nothing. :)

It seems like it could be pricey at first, until you find flavors you enjoy vaping. But be warned: your taste buds will heal in a few weeks to a month, and those flavors once desired will, most likely, lose favor, and you'll want something else.

At first, try sample bottles until you find something you enjoy. I had little funds (still do), but I was lucky and found 3 vendors whom I enjoyed and who had a great selection. I still enjoy those 3 vendors to this day because they had other selections I moved on to when my taste buds recovered.

My desire to try other things is still strong, just because there are so many vendors and juice flavors available... but reality keeps it simple :)
 
I'm a noob too, and in one month I've already spent about $70.00 trying to find an ADV. I found one with Custard's Last Stand from nicoticket.com. But I want to try other flavors too. Especially seasonal ones right now. But I'm on a limited budget, so I've done obsessive research on different flavors and tons of reviews. I created a Pinterest board dedicated to vaping to keep track of the ones I want to try a few at a time.

When I was buying premade juice from vendors I was at about $60 a month or so. Since I started making my own I'm at probably $10-15 a month. Every once in a while I'll spring for a juice from Tasty Vapor or Sweet-Vapes to use as a mixer or just to switch it up for a couple of days. But DIY is the way to go. I waited to take the plunge into making my own because I thought it was too hard or time consuming. But it's really pretty simple. It takes a little experimenting at first, but you get the hang of it quickly. (And save a lot of $ too!)
