Just received my first vape about two weeks ago and haven't touched a cigarette since. In those two weeks, on just hardware, I have spent approx. $80. Got the MVP V2 for CHEAP, couple iClear 16's and a Protank on the way plus a few little hardware purchases like a 510 to 510 adapter to fix the issue with the pin getting pushed down by my iClear 16's. Having a really hard time not spending more on all the pretty, shiny things.

I have spend about $300 in like a month?

Im havent really enjoyed vaping yet and i spent this much already lol. Its because i got a unitank and its freakin leaking and the bottom part is stuck, ive tried using pliers but did not work and i gave up. So now im using my crappy ce4 clearo.

But here's a list of what I've bought

An ego twist kit
1000 mah batts(x2)
Dripping bottle x1
2 ce4 clear (wickless or bottom coil)
Charger
Kangertech unitank (broken or have yet to fix, if i can)
5x 10ml juices
2x 30 ml juice
(Being delivered, hopefully before xmas)
Vamo v5
Igo-W
ChiYou brass gold plated clone
ChiYou drip tip
AIOS rba
Nitecore i4 charger
Butane torch pen
Ohm meter
35ft silica wick
100ft 30gauge kanthal
Some tools and x2 batteries

Good? Bad? Not bad?

I dont really know but I wanna enjoy vaping and cant wait for my vamo and rebuildables to arrive.

I've been the clearo route, top and bottom coil. And tried genesis style (AGA T2). I keep going back to carto tanks with single coil Boge cartos. Love my Vamos!

Dual Coil Cartomizer Tank

What did you get for £333 ?.
An Innokin iTaste SVD, couple of Protanks, mesh, silica, blowtorch, kanthal, nicotine base, a shedload of base flavours from TPA, Decadant Vapours and Capella, Pure VG, some high drain batteries, a charger, an RBA/RDA, a cartotank, syringes, empty bottles, an airflow controller, a carto-punch, some cartomizers, spare protank heads, needle-cap bottles, needle-nose pliers

Just the usual stuff. I've got a Kayfun Lilte coming, and another cartotank on the way too. I know, I know.... I need a vaping box to store all the stuff in. No! Step away from the credit card, son. I swear I'll calm down soon (right after I get the Provari)

I have spent about as much as if I were still smoking, since I started about 3 months ago. Hopefully the gear aquisition will slow down soon, as actual vaping costs should cost me less than a fifth of what it used to cost me to smoke. I now have plenty of usable backup devices, that's for sure.

The best bit is that the health benfits and THR cannot be measured in dollar terms.

I have spent over $1,000 in my first six weeks of vaping. I recently started building RBAs and it has gotten me a little obsessed. The vape is so much better. I am always searching for the perfect vape.

Yeah i'm beginning to enjoy my AGA T2 a lot more now. Bit of a headache in the beginning though. Flavour is so much better in a genny than in my protanks.

My buying blitz is over for now. Only e-juice in the immediate future. I have built up 24 spare Kanger Heads, Three Mini Protank 2's in rotation, 2 Mini Protank 1's as backup. Two Replacement glass for Mini Protanks as backup. Approx 100 ML in juice remaining. Two iTaste vv3's in rotation.

Total spent since I started vaping: 354.65 including tax and associated shipping charges.

Broken down that is:
E-Juice: $108.16 for 213ml of e-juice. 95ml used thus far.

Hardware: $246.49. $96.12 which is no longer in my possession. I gave away my ego Starter Kit, and my Evod's. Two of my Mini Protanks from Fasttech cracked and were thrown away.

I have not had to replace any heads yet, but let's assume a worse case 2 weeks per head, my head cost is .08 Cents a day

I am using approximately 2.3 ml a day vaping. This equates about a $1.00 a day

So my current vaping is running me 1.08 dollars a day compared to 3.20 a day for smokes. So I'm saving $2.12 a day smoking. At this rate I should break even in approximate 170 days. I've been cig free for 50 days, so I got about 4 months to go till I break even.

Approximate 6 month ROI and better health???!!!???

Hard to beat that....

Start thinking about rewicking the kanger heads. You'll need 3mm silica for the wick, some kanthal, and some 1mm wick for the flavour wick. It's dead easy rewicking them.
