How much have you spent on devices to date ?

[slingshot]

About 1K and still counting! Still less than what I would have spent with analogs.

 

[joeybear]

Over $1k, under $2k. Other than that, I have no idea and don't care to know. My wife thinks about $500 in 3ish months

since Sept. 2011 I've probably spent around $1000 on devices and batteries. Silver bullets, v-mod, MVP, VAMO, SVDs, and so on. Never got into the high end stuff. Too pricey for my tastes.

I heard that !.

 

[evan le'garde]

About 1200 bucks in 1 year. I expect 3-400 this coming year (yeah right)...

....

 

[rhunpenny]

I keep track everything in a spreadsheet because I tend to go overboard with hobbies. $1102.93 in 82 days. Have to try it all.

I really haven't spent that much. Probably $400 in the last five months. I shop around for good deals and make friends before putting in money as that's lowered a lot of costs substantially.

 

[therussellv]

I have thus far spent $148 which puts me $1.25 positive

i did a conversion for you guys, if i had said it in pounds, id probably got a "pounds? you mean weight?"

I'm English !. So you don't have a £ on your keyboard then !..

6 months about $800 usd, made probably $200 in profits though from selling juice, more to come soon.

My real expenses (including 'ecig gifts' to friends and family) are in my sig. Although it looks like a lot, it's a LOT LESS than if I had continued smoking: A LOT less!
(Plus, I'm healthier, too. AND I smell good! )

You look healthier !

Oh my! I just added it all up. It's only been a couple weeks and I'm up to $300 (plus the $75 my brother dropped on me for a nice starter setup + liquid). But...I've got a great variety of liquids to keep me from getting bored (about 5 weeks worth, I estimate) and replacement coils to keep everything running well. If I can keep myself from spending until after the new year, I'll have broke even, cost wise vs. analogs.

Plus side--the MVP 2 is just cool enough to have intrigued my hubby (gently trying to convince him to give up the analogs as well) into trying a few puffs (yummy, fruity Betelgeuse from Nicoticket doesn't hurt either). Baby steps, baby...Told hubby the black MVP2 in the mail can be his, if and when he's ready...

I guess the main message we're getting from reading the posts in this thread is that most of us who've made vaping a hobby have ended up spending more per week, per month, per whatever, than we did when we were smoking. I know it's certainly true for me. Thing is though, since I began vaping (May of this year), I've collected a Vamo V2, a brass Sig 19, RSST, AGI, Nemesis clone, a real Nemesis, DRA XL, Storm Rider TiN, Svarog, Gamma V2.5, plus a ton of other odds and ends, to the tune of, well, I'm not sure I really want to know how much I've spent... but the thing is, I've still got it all right here in front of me, and I'm still using it. But the money I spent on cigs is totally gone, I've nothing whatsoever to show for 42 years of smoking except a 30 year old Zippo lighter. The rest is ashes. So I'm not really too upset about what I've spent so far... if I decide to quit vaping tomorrow I could probably get a lot of my money back because a good bit of this gear (especially the non-clone stuff) is worth nearly as much used as it is new. But in the meantime, I'm having a hell of a lot more fun vaping than I ever did smoking. So the money's well-spent as far as I'm concerned.

I just started vaping in July. I'm probably in the $400-$450 range before this week. Spent $100 this week upgrading, but still saved a bunch of $$$ vs analogs...

 

[Jman8]

About $250 in 2 years. Currently have 8 cigalike batts, with lifetime warranties. Not planning on buying more devices, and so currently feel set for I'd say 2 more years, at least.

 

[kalex]

so far around $150 for both me and my wife to quit smoking. 2 magma kits, 1 itaste mvp2 and 1 itaste vv 3, some juice and extra tank. Not planning on getting any more anytime soon

 

[flavorjunkie]

Haha...hmmm... probably over $2K and that is over the last 6 months. I've become some what of an aficionado, a collector, or what have you. Its become my full time hobby.

Hope your wife doesn't read your post then !.

True, smoking was never any real fun at all !.
