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 at it for 3 weeks and just bought my first mechanical mod (magneto). Probably $400 including itaste VV, Vamo, batteries, charger, kanthal, cotton, and about 20 different juices. I knew it could become a hobby but didn't think i'd start tinkering so quickly :)

I'm still considering getting a mech. Just don't know, do i want sub ohm micro coils ?. I'm still thinking about it.

Started 5 weeks ago spent so far about 330.00 But I have enough Juice supply's to last a good Year. Stored Nic in Freezer broke down in 60ml bottles sealed off Plenty of PG and VG Flavor extracts mixing measuring tools dark/colored glass bottles with droppers for mixes.
Hint: I went to a Mom and POP pharmacy and got my dark brown 60ml bottles for storing the nic for a buck apiece.

Started with a ego 1100mah and Kanger Mini Pro tank and usb charger

Bought a Vamo V5_SS Kit....Vamo V5 is Great! The kit sucks charger was JUNK fell apart was missing one screw and took 4.5 hrs to charge a single 18350 900mah battery almost 8 hrs to charge 2 at same time, and junk batterys, they wouldn't last 40 mins vaping.
The ebay seller offered to send me a charger then kinda changed his mind when I emailed him back about the Batteries and said mail it back for inspection in the 14 days grace. So I just bought replacements on my own. I would have been hard pressed to go back to the ego. I would not buy from him again. Lesson learned.
So I Bought a charger that was a TRUE duel channel charger and has switching charge rates

1 Samsung 28a 18650
2 EH 18650 30amp 1600mah
1 EH 18650 2000 mah
2 imr 18350 800mah
1 Trident
1 mech mod Sentinel
1 adapter 510
1 5 box Boges
1 ViVi Nova
spool of 28Ga
spool of 30 ga
3 mm wick 6 ft
Free cotton ..went and picked it out of a field
store bought juices 50 ml in 10 ml bottles while waiting on supply's some ok some horrible
in 2 more weeks I will have broke even on what I would have spent on cigs, 5 weeks Analog FREE

Note: I gave my ego 1100mah and the 2 CE4s that came with the Vamo kit and usb charger away to my Neighbor for his starter kit. Helping someone quit is worth tons to me.

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....

I am getting good vapor enjoyable vaping @ 1.4 ohm 12 watts on my Vamo, I got a mech for outside kicking around abuse control etc
and it vapes good also at 1.4ohms so you may not have to go sub ohm to get enjoyable vapes.

That's the thing though. I am going to get an IGO W dripper soon. So i will be building microcoils above 1 ohm and use with my vamo or tesla. The only reason i'd get a mech is for sub ohm coiling. So really i am in 2 minds about it. If the microcoils i build for my regulated mods don't perform then i'll seriously consider the sub ohm route.

What it's really about for me is producing giant clouds. That would be the whole point.:vapor:
