I can easily vape 10mls a day and up to 15 to 20 on a nice lazy beer filled relaxing day. This is through a 1.0ohm kayfun. I make my own juice, build my own coils so cost isn't a factor anymore like with storebought juices or factory heads. I have hoarded a pile of attys, mechs, mods and box hitters so I don't have to buy anything for a long time. My only purchases now are nicotine, VG, PG along with flavorings and I have enough of those not to have to purchase those well into the fall of this year. My wife thinks I have a shineyitis problem, I call it a hobby that we both benefit from. :)

When I was smoking I averaged 2/3 packs a day so estimate about two cartons a week. Marlboro's are $48 a carton. Thats about $350 to $400 a month I was spending on cigarettes. In the 9 months since I quite smoking thats a savings of about $3150 to $3600. In the last 9 months I probably spent on mods, atty's juices and DIY stuff probably $2000 to $2500. So I am still anywhere from $650 to %1100 ahead and I have all the gear and DIY stuff I need where I have no reason other than I love vape mail to buy another thing for a few years. I usually consume 15 to 20ml a day of Ejuice and have not bought store bought in a few months now.

I spend just about $200.00/yr on juice (store bought that I mix down with additional pg/vg) vs $200.00/mo on cigarettes = $2200.00 saved every year. As far as gear goes I went a little crazy in the beginning but stopped buying any gear for the last 1 1/2 years (other then $50.00 spent very recently a want not a need) I am set for life on gear. Vaping can be as expensive or as inexpensive as you make it.

Well, for me, it's not so much that vaping is cheap, but that it is cheapER than smoking.

Where I live, my PAD habit cost $300/month. My vaping costs me about $50/month.

My wife put it in perspective - she doesn't care if it costs $500/month, it's not smoking.
My husband is the same way. I have started coiling and wicking myself and diy my juice. I was smoking 2 packs a day of roll your own cigarettes. I don't really keep up with the cost of vaping but I know that the roll your owns were about $7 a carton. I am over the shinyitis and am finally happy with the equipment I have.
