So far, since I'm n00b I trashed 2 cartos in a week. That's $4.00

I bought RY4 e-juice that's $12.00

Besides all the devices I wouldn't count them since they are not dispensable.

So lets say I finally got hang of this and probably will still spend $2.00 a carto every week.

And maybe $12.00 e-juice every...week? (assuming that its low nic like 6mg)

That's $14.00 a week.

How much do you spend on regular basis??

It depends person to person. Personally, I make my own ejuice for cheap. I buy carto's 5 packs at a time (6.00 a pack including shipping to total 30 cartos). To make 125mL (4oz) of juice, it costs me roughly 15 dollars, and i go through 5-10mL a day depending on what I am doing. I burn through cartos every other day since i chain vape all day. For me, it costs probably no more than 25-35 dollars a month.

Like i said, it really depends on your usage, what set up youre using, and when you decide your cartomizer is "dead".

Up to this point I can not say I have found what is "regular". When I started a little over 4 months ago I was convinced I would be at $20 or so a week for juices and CE4's.. Then I bought a ProVari, then rebuildables, then DIY juices, then stockpiles of materials like resistance wrie, bulk pg, vg, and nic.. and well that is where I am now.

Granted if I stopped now (buying stuff) I would be good for about half a year or so with the nic and fluids. Have enough wire for a small army and use cotton for wicks so that is "forever".

But there is always something I think I need so I am sure I will buy more. Hmm, alright I will say about $80 a month now, but am still in the red from the ProVari, backup ego's, and misc things to attach to them. Still ahead of the game as 2 cartons here would be $140 which is what I used to do (that is what I tell myself to feel better) :facepalm:

I feel your pain, KP. My startup cost has been about $200 in a little over 2 weeks but a lot of that was a starter kit that I immediately passed on and some newbie mistakes that caused me to have to replace things too soon. I burned up a carto right away and I think I've pretty much used my clearo until it's non-functional.

I'm not as mechanically adept as most of the members here seem to be so I'm probably going to be replacing clearos, not rebuilding them.. but even then, I figure I'm going to spending between 1/4 - 1/2 what I did on cigarettes a month. Less than that once I settle with a few juices I like enough to buy in bulk and enough backups of everything on hand that I can order most things from FT (way cheap but apparently slow).

About $3.00 a week. Now that I've been vaping for 4 months and found what I like, I only vape one flavor now, my menthol Diy blend. We buy nic juice by the litre and mix our own. I used to spend about $70.00 a week when I was smoking analogs. I'm not into trying 97 different juice flavors anymore so the savings are really rolling in.

Too Much!

I suffer from "Oooh! Shiny Syndrome". But, I am a new Vaper and I am still looking for what I like in terms of delivery devices (RBA, Clearo, Carto, etc.) as well as juices. I DIY my own juice, but am always buying new flavors to mix. My tally so far, Since May 16th, is ~$250, more than I would have spent on cigs, but alot of it is one time purchases to find out what I like. and my VAMO, I love my VAMO.

The only things I have to buy now are DIY supplies and cartos. If I stuck to that, it would cost a few buck a week.

However, I get distracted by shiny stuff, such as tanks, RBAs, and accessories for my ProVaris, so it varies. This past month, I spent quite a bit. At some point I might stop buying so much stuff. But no matter what I spend, it beats the alternative of smoking.

I hadn't thought about cost per week til now. So, counting everything - eGo-C's, extra batteries & juice, it works out to about $11.00 per week over the last 3 1/2 months. But, that just keeps going down coz I'm not buying more hardware & it counts 3 or 4 30ml bottles of juice sitting in the cupboard, which will be used over the next few weeks. So, realistically, I'd guess my real on-going cost at something down around $6.00 per week. That compares pretty well to the $100 per week I used to spend on cigarettes.....:)

I make a one time order a month for about 50 dollars. That is for my juice and replacement heads for my evods and protanks. I also put 5 dollars a week in a bank for when I need new batteries or something i want to treat myself too. Im trying to get outta of having to have so many different flavors. I mean I smoked the same brand of cigarette for 20 years why can't i vape the same flavor? Its hard!

Not even $10 a month. And that's liberal.

Toys not included.

The way to do it is DIY Juice and (The one expense I am noticing a lot of folks mention ie: cartos, heads and such)... a drum roll...................

Rebuildable atomizers.

You have a one time expense of the rebuildable device 5-30 bucks. The maintenance is only wick and wire. 100' of wire is about 4 bucks and if you use cotton yarn for wick, well, 200 feet is years, probably. One skein costs about $3.
