Hey, I just got into vaping, and I was told that I should start my juice collection by sampling from different vendors and steeping what I can. I just dropped a ton on four different sites in the hope that it pays off, and while I have a decent paying job ($300+/day), I was wondering how much other people tend to spend per month.

I just dropped:
$65 on ZampleBox(Canada), for 100+ml
$65 on MtBakerVapors, for 250ml(5x50)
$20 on fasttech for 60ml(6x10ml liqua)
$60 on MapleLeafVapes for 60ml(20x3ml)

With my gear that's put me in at well over $350 start up costs, which would seem a bit ridiculous to people who haven't vaped and think I'm paying for just flavored air, but I feel good about it.

I'll probably stick to ZB, and if MBT is as good as people say, I'd probably keep ordering a 50ml/month, for a total of $75/month juice cost.

What do you spend?

I'm the same as you - over $350 in startup costs, and now about $75 a month for pre-mixed juice. I should get into DIY too.
I only spent $30/month on tobacco (roll-your-own) so vaping is a much more expensive habit for me... but I figure I'm saving on future smoking-related medical costs. Definitely worth the money.

There is an intial higher cost while you figure out which vendors and types of liquids you prefer. I went crazy the first couple months I discovered online vendors (after 2 yrs vaping liquids from a local vendor, a whole world opened up to me!).

I would estimate that I spend about $75 a month on liquids if I paid retail (not on sale) prices. So over all with everything less than a hundred. When I was smoking PAD I would have spent over 200. Not bad and I'm a whole lot healthy-and smell a lot better!

50 - 70 a month. But the problem is I haven't found an ejuice that I absolutely love and would wanna use as a daily vape, so I've been buying bottles every month and trying em out. I now have 1 entire shelf of ejuice ranging from i-hate-it-and-wanna-kill-it-but-i-can't to mehhhh-once-in-a-while to this-isn't-too-bad. My search continues for something I love, although I have some legend(gandalf) from HHV on its way to me. I'm PRAYING that is THE ONE.

on a side note, if you have a good recommendation for a pure tabocco (minimal sweetness/caramel), pure tobacco with menthol (that's my gandalf order 50-50vg/pg with mild menthol) and a nice lemonade-ish flavor, i will be eternally grateful. (pls ignore this if this is hijacking the thread!)

p.s. I have 30ml of v2 platinum mint tea eliquid with 18mg that I would have no problems with giving away. PM me if by some chance you're one of those who actually enjoy it.
 
I spend about $15 a week on various juices. I always make sure to have a couple of small bottles of my favorites around while I decide what I like. I almost always add in another small bottle of something new to try. It's really easy for me to just go and pick up juice. The local B&M is about 5 blocks from my house so I'm almost never worried about running out or any of that.

Considering I usually buy 10 mL bottles, I end up with about 30-40 mL a week. I always spring for sample sizes when I place online orders just in case I hate them. MyFreedomSmokes allows one 6 mL sampler with every order for $1.99. Money isn't really an issue on my end considering I was spending about $50/ week for analogs.

I also, always throw in a 5 pack of new coil heads while I round up supplies for DIY coils and juice. Once I get all that stuff, I'll start making my own and most likely cut my "habit" down to pennies a day. I'm not really concerned with the amount of money that I spend on this as long as my other bills get paid because I feel so much better and my wife is much happier with me vaping rather than smoking.

Overall, with gear and juice I probably spend a hundred bucks a month right now, which is still half of smoking. I'm cool with that.

Sometimes I spend about 30 bucks a month....Other months I spend over 300......But usually after a large spending month I can go 3-5 monthes without spending anything on juice.


My hardware cost's are now down to 35 a month for punched cartos....

And I'm getting 6 months to a year out of the mods I have selected...(Next one I buy has an easily replaceable switch.)

So relax...with that much juice you should be good for a long while!
