I'm up to just shy of $400. This is for everything, hardware and juice. I suspect there will be more as I find the hardware fascinating and want all sorts of stuff. I'm about 6 weeks in on vaping.
As I said earlier I'm probably pretty close to $1000 now (had over $600 worth of receipts last month) but my spending is also slowing down and I have enough backup juice and recoiling materials to last a year, if I had to. Expensive hobby? Any hobby can get expensive if the capacity is there to experiment with lots of different brands and technique... Ask any golfer, fisherman, off-road enthusiast, hunter, skier, etc.
Years ago I quit smoking "cold turkey" while my wife still smoked! I thought, OK, as incentive instead of buying a pack of cigarettes I will just put that same amount of money in a savings account each day and then buy something cool with it. A couple of weeks in I spent a month's worth of "cigarette money" on a 55 gallon fresh water aquarium with tons of tiny fish, cool looking tank decorations, and a nice stand and hood. I placed it in our house where I *had* to walk right by it any time I wanted to go outside, to work, or whatever. That worked! I didn't smoke again for several months... BUT in that several months time I also developed "the hobby" aspect... I quickly learned that fresh water tanks were for "noobs" and by the time I had finally exhausted myself on it I had a total of 1000 gallons of salt water tanks, filtration, and sumps, all in my living room. While I did get a lot of my stuff used, or by trading up, I still had spent thousands of dollars on hundreds of pounds of live rock and coral, new tanks, expensive ballasts and lights, and of course... the fish....
For the TL;DR folks, this IS a salt water tank!
Then there was (still IS) my fixation on higher end vintage speakers and stereo equipment, 4x4s, especially Jeeps, custom gaming computer stuff, etc... A thousand dollars on e-cigs in a couple of months? That's nothing! Not smoking any more? PRICELESS.

Lol! You were talking about a freshwater tank, but I was looking at the picture of the saltwater tank and thinking, "OMG that's a saltwater tank but he thinks it's a freshwater. It's a miracle those fish are still alive!" Haha!
I've spent about $400 over the past 3-4 months of vaping. I think I have all the devices I need for right now, I think it will be just juices and up keep for a while.
That's a relief. Now I don't feel so guilty, thanks!
That's what this is thread is all about.
Ive just started, spent 140 Euros in the last week and a half (180 dollars), thats 50 Euros for the Ego C Starter Kit, rest on some quality juices, Clearomizers and a couple of accessories that I dont need but look pretty.
Thats what Id spend in a month on cigarettes and should last me 1-2 months so If I stop there were more than good.
Saying that, now my boyfriends interested in vaping I suspect Il end up giving him my ego Cs and buying some more kit...

I don't know the value, but I do know it is far less than what I would have spent on cigs.
In the past 5 months I have spent 76dollars.thank god for having a family vaping store!!
You know... I never really thought of calculating how much I spent on vaping stuff. I've only been counting the time since I stopped smoking analogs. But I am no longer asked for ID when I go to the post office to collect stuff and they all know my first name and even the name of my dog 
Blew an extra $200 today on top of my $1000 for this month. All bad. Good, but still... all bad. It's a cycle of being depressed that I've spent that money and a few days later I'm excited that my vape mail has arrived, then I'm back to window shopping online. I'm about to memorize my credit card number I swear!!! Lol. So so bad.
I saw one of our local gas stations is now carrying Blu & another. Thought about buying one until I remembered there was two Provari in my damned pocket.
But glad to see they have em. Chances are there will be one around in the near future.

LOL! I've memorized a little more than half of it... and the CVC... and the expiration date. It's only a matter of time... D:
