And I thought I was getting out of control... I'm getting off easy with a couple of ego 900 batteries, 1/2 dozen clearos, a usb pass though, and a couple of tanks. I also grabbed some wick and wire and had to rebuild one clearo already. All stocked up! Still, with juice included after a couple of months, only at $150 or so. DIY juice soon so I expect expenses to drop.
 
I've spent well over $1,300 in the last 2 1/2 months just for PV's alone between my wife and I. 2 Start up eGo's, 1 Lavatube PV, 2 ProVari silver, 1 ProVari Stealth, 1 ProVari Mini silver, 1 Kir Fanis Trap Tank, 2 Kir Fanis Prive-Special Tank, 1 Black DCT Tank, 1 Z-Atty Pro V2 rebuildable, and tons of accessories like extra ceramic wicks, SS Wicks, back up tubes for each tanks and extra batteries. Not to mention that we've tried a bunch of flavors too from all over town. Now I'm waiting for a couple of deliveries through the mail for my DIY juices. I'll be cooking up my own juice from now on, well atleast I'll try it for the first time. My wife and I have narrowed it down to 2 flavors and hopefully we can save extra cash by making our own.
 
Now this was pretty funny when I saw the Thread - I don't want to know because when I quit smoking, it WAS supposed to save money, and so far being 10 weeks clean from Smoking analog - I can safely say that this has cost me....well, at a pack every 3 days and at $6.50 a pack and I have spent more on mods and accessories in excess of $2,300 over the past 10 weeks. I am buying up mods because they are just pieces of artwork and craftsmanship is just outstanding. All in all, my wife and my kids are happy that I have given up smoking!

Lost count. By my estimates, maybe somewhere over $3000 in about 4 months since I started vaping?(whenever I registered. lol)

Mods aside, it's surprising how fast trying the new stuff out costs. Getting various samples of different wicks, from different sizes of silica, ecowool, SS rope, different meshes. Then there's all the different wires. These things don't seem like much, but they do add up, especially when you get enough to last.

Then there's the journey to finding your all-day vape. Samples and samples and samples... and when you find some good flavors, you end up getting over 100ml of the stuff since you can go through a 30ml bottle faster than it takes for them to get to you in the mail.

Add trying every kind of clearo, carto, dripper, genny. That adds up fast as well.

China made mods/RBAs are fun as well. Taking them apart, making them better. Adding a different bolt/screw here and there to up the quality. Slapping an o-ring here to make the throw easier. It's just plain old fun.

Annnnnd then... come the unicorns. When you're one of only 60 people out of 1000 F5-ers to get on a list to get a mod you'd treasure forever, you don't think about the price-tag. You gladly pay the amount and know that anyone would love to be in your shoes. In fact, others would pay 10x the amount you're paying, so throwing down that much money is actually a bargain. You've caught a unicorn. Bam! You're set, right? Nooooooo... there are more out there, so get your paypal and popmoney accounts ready cause you're in for a wild ride.

Lol. But yeah. Spent quite a bit of money. Not regretting it either. If you have the money to afford a new hobby, e-cigs is a great one. There are varying levels of what you can afford and the community is awesome. I've slowed down on spending a bit, but that's only because I've found a few all-day vapes. I'm spending more on the higher end gear, so it's like... I spend money less often, but I spend huge amounts in small controlled bursts. HAHA
