I gotta check out BlueMist. If it works out that's ~ $0.75 a day for me, plus cartos, &c. of course.
Hello there, I am always on there, I cannot seem to find the 180ml for 30$. I saw it once, there website leaves alot to be desired. Is that with nic or without?
not sure which type of juices you like but check out nite lite vapor. They get a lot of rave reviews for their bounty hunter juice. I think they even sells 120mls for $40 too. can't beat that with a stick.
Blue Mist eh. Just checked them out and ordered some stuff to try. Hadn't heard of them before. Nice and cheap.
Sorry, I found it. it has nick too...that is really cheap...I bought the 10ml sample pack and do not remember paying that price. I have to check it out, but you are right. Thanks
I like rob's blackjack...the sample packs are so much more expensive 50ml for 20$ and the juice is .50/ml for 10ml. It really pays to like a juice from here.
Which tobacco flavors do you like if you have tried them...That is wacky pricing...lol

Just a comment - If you were paying $50 per month for analogs how many packs were you buying? I was smoking just over a pack a day and the cost was just under $160 a month. I vape a little less than 2 ml a day. I use less than 60 Ml of ejuice per month with cost ranging from $10 - $16 per 30 Ml. I have been vaping for 5 months and have accumulated 7 of my favorite flavors.
The first months were expensive since vaping definitely involves a learning curve. I am like you in that I don't like dripping. I also got tired of continuing to have to mess with refilling cartomizers so I purchased a tank.
Monthly Cost for juice = $35
Carto Cost = $15 currently buying boge 5 packs @ 5.99 (order more than 2 5 packs)
Batteries?? Still using the 5 batteries I purchased in August for 2 different tube mods.
I am going to convert to a genesis atty to eliminate the cost of carto's. I have seen many comments that the flavor is cleaner and the wicks last for months. I will keep my tanks for backup.

I order juices from Backwoods Brew every month. I usually get one 30mL bottle of my all day vape and a 15mL of something new to try. That costs me $27.07 including shipping/tax using the "ECF10" coupon code. If they have the elusive RY4 or Casablanca in stock, then I order two 30mL bottles which is $32.70. I won't go through all of the juice in a month, but running out of my all day vape can turn tragic real quick, so I like to make sure I have it steeped and on hand. I also order two 5 packs of cartos which run about $15 depending on sales.
So all together, I spend about $40 to $50 a month. That's not what I use in a month, but what I buy to make sure I don't run out.
Of course, I did splurge and buy myself a new PV for Christmas this month, but it was on a super awesome sale. That ran me $44.25 including shipping and taxes. I got a 1300 mah Echo kit with 8 cartos, two stainless steel drip tips and a steel cone, so I think I made out pretty good!

Cigs were costing me about $6.50 a pack when I quit almost 2 years ago (they're now closer to $8.00 a pack).
I've found a sweet spot with the GV Visions and fluxomizer cartos (which last a few weeks, longer if I keep up with cleaning them and don't fry them during dry burn). I think the Visions are around $5.00 ea. (or less if they're on sale), and a pack of Fluxomizers is around $10 depending on what's on sale.
My batteries were around $20 or so, but I have several of the eGO batteries (and 2 USB pass-thrus) that are real workhorses - haven't lost one yet. A couple of my older eGo batteries are still kicking after more than a year.
So yeah, it maybe costs me around $60 a month now for juice refills and restocking my cartos. The better I get at cleaning/maintenance, the cheaper it gets.

When I first started back in April, I was buying prefilled cartos at $12.50 per 5, and I could make that last about a month. I then learned about buying ejuice, so I bought a 60ml bottle on sale for $15. Since then I just keep looking for good deals. Gourmet Vapor has 50% off sales fairly regularly (about 1 every month and a half), and American E-Liquid always has at least one of their juices on sale for 50% off a 60ml bottle. I don't understand how anybody can go through 5-6ml a day. I vape heavily throughout the day and can make a 30ml bottle last a month. Two days ago I bought a 15ml bottle for $10 and have probably only used 3ml, and I estimate it will last me 1.5-2.5 weeks. Keep in mind that by deciding to keep 6-7 bottles on hand your cost is only going to go up.
Since April, I've bought:
1 808 starter kit - $50ish, I believe
1 808 manual batt - $15ish
1 510 starter kit on Black Friday -$20
1 eGo-T 1000mAh batt w/passthrough - $30+tax
With my 808, I was buying a pack of 5 empty cartos for under $10(inc. sh+tax) every month & a half to two months. With my eGo, I'm using the atty that came with the 510 kit, and I bought one additional atty for under $10. If you include the equipment costs from this year, I probably spent less than $200. I don't anticipate having to buy any new equipment in 2012 other than 2-3 attys and maybe a new type of carto.

The thing I love about Bluemist is that they really reward you for buying the big bottle, almost DIY pricing. I like their Caramel Tobacco, Robacco,and Robacco Caramel. Black Jack will be on my next order.
I am very careful how I spend the money now as opposed to when I started. I do vape that much if not more...I fill a dual-coil with about 1.5 ml and another carto with 2ml. I have to do this at least twice. The pv is constantly in my hand and I am vaping. I vape way more than I smoked and I smoked 2pad . My biggest problem is that my juices are not from one house.
It would be alot cheaper if that was the case. I am thinking that bwb is going to be my main supplier and some of that cheap e-liquid from blue mist if I like it. Thanks for the info.
Yes - I read through the posts to see you roll your own, I used to do that but it wasn't tobacco
You may be challenged to keep your stat up costs for vaping low but in the long run you should be able to get your costs to come in near the same as tobacco. Good luck.
$20 per month tops for juice and cartos and that includes giving away some free samples of my juices. Realistically about $15.
I only buy a select amount of juice flavors and a box or two of cartos for two months so that's around... $25 a month, maybe more or less if there is a sale or I'm procrastinating.
