How much do you spend on vaping in a month?

[Mobc1990]

Calculated I spent 104USD on average for this three month,it’s some money due to me buying all the necessary mod and pod plus juice.

If my mod did not gave up on me I would spend 55USD on average per month,while using drop in coil which I am very happy about it...How much did you spent on vaping stuff and how much on average would you spent if you didn’t had to chip in on devices.

I didn’t do rta/rda because I had many working hours and I tried one rta,it’s just a hassle changing the cotton or coil and I am a lousy builder hence I use sub ohm tank

 

[ppeeble]

What i spend is around $100 a month.
What i have to spend is around $0 a month.
I could vape for the rest of my life and spend nothing. Literally. The reality for me, after vaping for 10 years, is that i could probably set up another 2 or 3 people with devices and liquid from my stock of mods, atties, liquid, wire etc and they could vape for life too.
When i die the price of 2nd hand vaping paraphernalia is going to plummet

 

[sonicbomb]

I have a years supply of nicotine, and about 6 months worth of PG and VG and a bunch of wick and wire. I have all te mods Im probably ever going to need. Spread out this probably amounts to about £8 a month.
Time to use a rebuildable device and DIY your own juice.

I had a few month experience building rta with pre-build coil,I just can’t stand the trouble of changing the cotton or coil once every few days plus after building it leaks sometimes which annoy me very much.Now I am using drop in coil,DIY juice probably need the same effort as changing rta cotton and coil.I am lazy...

Depends on how much i vape but i think about 30 or 40 euros.
Will be less if i ever actually learn to make my coils hehe

Im an alchemist so the price is way cheaper than the premium stuff,at the moment cant really afford to buy it but it's cool im happy with the aroma i got.

Not into collecting mods or anything like that and im expecting a Vandy Vape Jackaroo (soon??¿) so i might get a new RTA for it (in black) and a new panel for my Jackaroo(obsidian black),im going for the full black look.

But apart from that i don't see my self investing in anymore gear until my current mods/attys break up.

*EDIT*

Wasn't paying much attention,think i went a couple euros overboard.
Edited the amount.

Hard to say. I can easily get by with $0-$20 for a month but then spend a few hundred dollars on a new mod, atty, and assorted and sundry. But if I'm not buying I have no real issue using what I already have and not running up a bill at all. I do build, so there's no expense for drop in coils, which helps, and go back to DIY and use the 3L of nic in the freezer once my 1,000 ml of retail juice is used up.

theoretically I just have to buy vg, maybe 100mls a month and batteries every once in a while.
I have cotton, rayon, wire, nic, rta's and mods to last longer than me.
I say theoretically because even though Ive been set up for life for over a year I still manage to buy stuff. Im nearly bored with it all and pretty happy to just sit and vape on any set up I have.
You can set yourself up for life pretty cheaply if you dont stuff around in the beginning. Spend a bit at the start and find your preferences as quick as possible. After that you just buy what you need and keep a small fund aside to experiment and refine.
The other thing I did was work on reducing my nicotine tolerance so I didnt need a huge stockpile of nic. That doesnt save a lot of money but it does save storage space.

I can easily, and sometimes do, get by for a month or three w/o spending a cent. DIY, RTA's and getting batteries to last me for at least 2 years helps to keep my costs down. Now if I could just get them to stay down..

 

[Rossum]

I have spent $0.00 so far this year.

I DIY my liquid. I use mechanical squonkers without any electronics in them that can fail. They are topped with bottom-fed RDAs and wicked with rayon. I usually get a month or more between needing to re-wick.

I have enough PG, VG, and nicotine in stock to last a very long time.

Last year I did buy some new batteries. I think I spent ~$50...

 

[dripster]

On average, over the past 3 years my vaping hobby has cost me about 450 Euros ($500) per month.

 

[Wow1420]

I literally went through all of 2018 and 2019 without spending a cent. I figure the cost of supplies used up during that time averaged $1 a week, for nic, pg, menthol crystals for my DIY, some rayon and a few inches of wire. One mod, 2 RTAs, 2 batteries used during that time. Lets say $100 for the hardware (it actually was less than that on sale). That puts me at $2 a week total cost.

I've "splurged" this year, a bit of commercial eliquid, tanks that take drop in coils, pods, etc. I'm only using about 1 ml of the commercial liquid a day and maybe 1 coil a month, alternating with my DIY and RTAs.

 

[Str8vision]

I spend between $2 and $3 per month. That buys a new pair of 21750 batteries and a few bottles flavorings each year. Did all the "big" spending years ago. Lifetime supply of nic, PG, VG stored at -20F in a commercial freezer. I only vape Naturally Extracted Tobacco and flavored hybrids. Learned how to manufacture my own long ago and have a lifetime worth of various condensed extracts also stored @ -20F. When I started vaping my goal was to become self sufficient before the government could mess it all up, I've achieved that goal. Haven't seen any new mods or attys that interested me and I need no other supplies, I'm stocked!

I'm a lipo mtl factory coil guy, so limited product out there 4 me. They refuse to accommodate me and I refuse to compromise. I ain't changing cells in anything but my remotes lol.

 

[AvaOrchid]

I spent pretty heavily from around October to January getting mods and wire and atomizers and batteries and E-Juice in concentrates VG nicotine etcetera. Last month I think I spent $13 this month I'm probably going to get some more concentrates because I finally figured out the e-juice I like to make the most and had a good result. So I'll probably get some more of those flavors in larger quantity which I think will probably be around $25 $30 but should last 3 to 6 months minimum. I also want to get a small very short RDA my squonks. I got three that I thought would be nice from FastTech a couple months back but they haven't arrived and I would really like to get something so I figure I'll spend probably 20-25 bucks there but that's not a need that's just a want

Recoiling soon becomes something you can do without thinking. All it takes is 8 wraps around a coil rod and turning two screws to tighten it down in the atty. I spend a few minutes recoiling and rewicking several attys twice a month. That takes about 30 minutes.

DIY juice is easy once you've done it once. I mix up a couple of 100ml bottles of unflavored juice a month. If I want flavored juice that just involves pouring some unflavored nic juice into a smaller bottle and adding flavors. A $75 liter bottle of 100mg/ml nic lasts 3 years or more and a liter of PG and VG lasts me a year and a half, maybe two. The nic last even longer and will keep indefinitely in the freezer.

 

[dennism]

For the last few years I've been keeping track of what I've spent:
2018-$1018
2019-$1182
2020(so far)-$340
This includes everything vape related.

I get it, but my lithium cells also fit my 5 and 6 watt LED flashlights. It's about as easy to change cells in a mod as it is to change cells in a flashlight. If I'm about to leave the house for a while I take a snap top box with a couple of 18650's and an extra filled atty.

 

[evan le'garde]

The last piece of hardware i bought was an atty for £160 including p+p. That was a few months ago. I still haven't even used it, i just had to have it, i just take it out of it's box every now and again just to look at it, and the box is still in the blue wrapping paper it came in from Creme de Vape (truth is i don't want to ruin the gold plated build deck by vaping with it). Hadn't spent anything for a year or two before that.


D.I.Y means spending nothing for years. So it's been years since i spent anything on juice.

I've got all the hardware i need including backups for backups. I keep my mod plugged in so the batteries never need charging so i expect they'll last god knows how long. I've got tonnes of wire and muji cotton, enough to last a lifetime. I love re-wicking after every tank full. I am now quite the expert at it.



So if it aint broke...........

Even on my 18650 mods, I keep the battery in and plug in a usb cable to charge. I can handle changing a battery once every year or 2.

Yeah I've only heard about it on the pico's tho. Did just see a mod with 2A, was surprised. Most are a good 20+mm taller and I rule it out as too tall. Reckon I need to visit shops more and stop being so picky. Ty
