After 7 months, i run about 50$ to 70$ a month. That is 50$ for eliquid and $30 for any bits n' peices if needed. As I go on, it seems to be getting less expensive as I find out what works for me. Less experimentation. Now only if I could get the knack of DIY. My creations are unvapable.

50+30=70 (new math?!?)
jk, lol.

Hm, I haven't thought about this in a while.

So, I buy nic from wizard labs for $30/250 ml of 100 mg/ml. I make juice at 12 mg/ml, 200 ml at a time. So for 24 ml of nicotine, that's $2.88 per 200 ml juice. The price for pg, VG, and flavors is really negligible, say $2, and that's probably an overestimate. So, about $5 for 200 ml juice, that will last me at least a month (that would be at about 6 ml vaped a day, which is more than I actually vape, so this is an overestimate). So that's about $0.16/ day for juice, or $0.80/week. Did I do that right. Seems very cheap!

I buy cartos from surevapes and punch them myself for my tanks. I get the 50 or 25 mix and match deals. 25 cartos costs me about $25, but hit up the sales when i can, so sometimes a bit cheaper. I use about 2 cartos a week (many people get longer out of theirs, but I like them fresh). So that's $2/ week for cartos.

$2 for cartos and about $1 for juice, puts me at $3 per week.

Then, I occasionally buy something new to try. About two months ago I bought a kanger protank for about $17 at a B&M store, and some juice for about $12. Then I bought a juice sampler from the vapor room for about $25 just because I was in the mood to try some new flavors. Those types of purchases are really rare for me. I'd say I'd been about 6-8 months without buying anything other than nic and cartomizers before those two purchases.

at minimum, every two to three months i make a large juice order- $110.
for coils and atomizing upkeep, every two months i would make an order of about $70-80.
i need to get used to ordering from fasttech for some of my hardware. i made my first order a little while ago, and that should help save a few here and there.
this has accelerated a little bit due to also supplying my partner with equal quality vape supplies. i have also been indulging in rba's and materials, plus some collecting impulses lately.
so i can average about $80/month, or i can rationalize spending up to $100+month. :-__-

from the start of this year i've spent around €100 on the gear, €40 on commercial juices and €100 on diy juices. My supplies should last for another 4-5 months and im not a very impulsive buyer so i guess that comes to 240/52 = €4,6 a week

after that i need to get more base (got enough flavors to spice up a swimming pool and enough mesh/kanthal to knit a dress)

so I should just go to RBAs...
but they look so complicated.
any recommendations on cheap rba?

eGo-v knock off, eVic, ProVari mini, Smoktech Pyrex DCT, RY4 Kustom

If you go over to Vaporjoes dot com he has links of all sorts of vendors that run sales on rebuildables. I was so worried when I started thinking about making coils and such, due to all the caveats. In truth though, it's not that difficult or dangerous anymore. You just want to run 'em on your APVs with the built in protection circuits and you should be fine.


Read a lot first. I started on the Phoenix which was like 8 bucks almost a year ago.You can get an RDA for about half of that, let's see if I can find a link for you.... Ah yes, here we go:

Phoenix Rebuildable Atomizer - Clone

These are nice folks over at Discount Vapers, too.

Here is a video on doing it (the one that got me started) from IknowAGhost:



Good luck and VaPe On :)

$7 a month. 30ml Liqua menthol and maybe a coil for my evod.

I spend 20-25 per month just to get a better stockpile on vaping goods.

That's about what I do.

If I discount the money I spent on my Greensmoke starter kit at the start. I am about $80 more on what I would have spent on Smoking over 2.5 months. I do have a 510-t 3 battery set with 20atomisers and 50 tanks, for backup and work. 2 egos, 3 vv egos, about 10 clearo's of various types, about 10 spare heads and about 300ml of eJuice.

I think I will need to spend about $10 a month on fluids at most and maybe $10 a month on hardware.

I will soon be in profit with a nice stockpile of vaping gear.
