How much have you spent on devices to date ?

[lizzardking]

about 200 started on egos then went to mech mods and rbas

 

[Bill's Magic Vapor]

Personally i've spent about £400,($600) on vaping toys over the couple of dozen months i've been vaping. How about you ?

I revise your question to read "How much I have saved?" Nothing, really. My gear and juice budget unexpectedly grew to match my "savings" budget, in spite of my entry level thinking that calculated huge savings, my introduction and implementation of DIY to save even more, and my current gear addiction. I avoid conflict by buying the wife a new mod every other time I buy one. She hasn't adapted to the need for more gear as easily as I have...as, apparently, I'm a natural. Who knew? Best luck and Happy Vaping!

you guys that are still buying your juice premixed...S-T-O-P!....MIXING YOUR OWN IS SO so MUCH MORE COST EFFECTIVE AND SATISFYING. i mix everything myself. flavors? lorann candy oils are a great place to start. if you go to their website, you can buy 115 different flavorings from one ounce bottles ( this is what i buy, 1oz goes a LONG way) for around $5 to 4 ounce bottles for around $14 bucks. if you go this route, hit amazon and get a 24pk of the 1 dram bottles ( each is enough to mix about 90ml of juice give or take, depending on the flavor and what your looking for), you ca choose the flavors then after you find what you like, hit loranns website and order the larger sizes.

figure

1000ml PG around $13.00 (i use straight pg as the vg makes me stay close to the head..you can both in pharmaceutical grade on amazon CHEAP...$9.00 a 1000ml bottle if you look around and catch it when its on, its goes fast at that price)
250ml of 60mg nicotine $27.00
4 different 4oz bottles of flavoring $20.00

so you can mix a 1000ml bottle up for around $60 bucks, and still have tons of flavorings and nic left.i mix at 6mg and get almost 3/4 gallon of juice out of 1 250ml bottle of nic liquid......

if you start figuring, these places selling e liquid are making money hand over fist. alot of local places sell their liquid for around $1.00 a ml........?...what yud pay for 2 30ml of premixed juice you can buy the supplies t mix your own and have enough to last for quite some time, and mix it to your liking. if your into the tobacco flavorings, yu can buy those from most vendors online who sell DIY supplies.

point being, if yu buy from vendors, the equipments the cheap part. in the long run buying redi-mixed liquids, youll spend WAY WAY WAY more than you EVER did on your equipment.

(and to all you vendors who read this...im not hacking on you guys perse'. but some of the vendors out there have prices on some stuff thats really outrageous..no offense ment)

lets pose this question...how much have you spent in the LAST 3 MONTHS on just e liquid?

Good point !. Premixed liquids are expensive !

So I spent another $56.00 yesterday, bringing the grand total up to $246.00. But, that included enough juice to last for the next 2 months or so, so I am still WAY ahead financially.

 

[Gonz88alez]

I have never once exceeded what I spent in a month for cigarettes.

I dunno how I could get even close - I used to spent around $400 per month on smoking......

 

[evan le'garde]

i've just started out...spent maybe in all $200 so far
started off with a Blu kit and a bottle of clove oil
bought a premium DIY kit from diyflavorshack and refilling the carts has helped wean me away from cloves but still my mix is off lol my last batch tastes like burnt dirt probably should clean the cart...

just bought an ego spinner and a vivi nova and evod to see which one I'll like better (common mailman deliver my stuff already)

so in all as of yet I haven't really saved any money, but in the end I know I will seeing that it costed me $5 for a pack of cloves and you only get 12 to a pack so in about 4 months I will break even (if I don't spend any more money )

Hahahahaha.......yeah you wish....Once you get bitten by the bug there's no escape.

 

[ohmyidontthinkthisworks]

I have spent about $300 US in pv's since I started vaping... but compared to my smoking per year.. even after factoring liquid/etc

 

[blackmajik]

Hard to say but $600-$700? I wanted to stock up on various stuff to make sure I don't go back to analogs. But after stocking up, I have an arsenal of e-juices, replacement parts and vaporizers on hand. Started the DIY route and slowly buying different flavors so soon I will have enough and not have to spend that much, if any at all. I knew going this route would be expensive (didn't think it would be this expensive TBH) but looking far ahead, I would be spending next to nothing especially compared to buying cartons of cigarettes bi-weekly ($140).

 

[greekgirlvapinginLV]

I could not agree more!!! I may be spending money now but, I am saving my future!!! Plus, I don't want my kids to have to watch me die of cancer. lose my mind from dementia or suffocate from Emphysema etc!!!!!

 

[ClamSlammer]

Somewhere between 300 - 600 including those god-awful logics.

 

[evan le'garde]

Waaaaay too much for one flavor!..... I only vape Menthol (crystals)!

Nice choice though. Get a good th with that stuff.

 

[evan le'garde]

I've spent about $130 (this includes my kit purchase from two years ago) and some cartomizers I just got in the other day. Needless to say, my cartos from my starter kit still work (and taste!!) well/good, so I should be set for a while

How the hell did you do that ?

 

[Alamedean]

I average about $100 per month. Some months I spend more than others. Got my girl friend to stop smoking and I pretty much pay for her e-juice. I was spending $200 per month on analogs, so I am still way ahead of the game.

 

[JP1021]

$1700 in april, $15 in may, and $600 so far this month. This has got to stop.

Personally i've spent about £400,($600) on vaping toys over the couple of dozen months i've been vaping. How about you ?

According to my wife, TOO MUCH!

I ordered a Super-T ELA, and all the goodies with it (Kick, batteries, tank etc., so this alone is going to be over $300 by the time I'm done with the build.

I have other PVs I've gotten over time, but nothing as nice as the ELA.

I would hate to know what some collectors have spent. I see some guys signature with a TON of mechs and VV/VW PVs!

My style of vaping is simple, buy a good PV, get it set how I like it, and enjoy it. To me, buying dozens of PVs is just a waste of money. Let's face it, unless you are a collector, they all do about the same thing... heat up a coil and produce vapor!

Ive spent way to much, but i have become somewhat of a hobbyist. And it didnt help that i kept breaking ego batteries when i was a n00b

 

[Lonely Raven]

After this weekends online order, I'm up over $200 in hardware. And after last night Alice order, over $100 in juice.

It doesn't sound like much till I include two points -

#1, I just started this last week.

#2, I'm not really a smoker - I just wanted to social vape during card games and such with friends who are smokers.


I'm a tech-geek, and I love learning stuff. So to me, learning, and hunting down the coolest hardware is all part of the adventure.

 

[lviperz]

Wow, I hate to think about how much I have spent thus far. Plus I have only been vaping since 5/25/13 with my wife starting a week before me.

I started with an ego-c upgrade, vision clearo and some juice. My wife the same. In the past month I have bought alot of juice, more clearo's, 2 protanks, a mini nova, 2 evods, replacement heads and more juice including the more expensive gourmet types. Then I started online orders to get diy juice and supplies, more replacement heads (cheaper online) and then some adapters for the vamo I just bought 3 days ago.

Heck, just the other week I was in my local B&M 4 days out of the week. And here I thought about all the money I was going to save not buying analogs anymore. At least the good part, the reason I tell myself it's ok to spend what I have, is the fact both my wife and I are analog free already. My wife 3.5 weeks and myself for 1.5 weeks. I still even have 1 carton and 3 packs of analogs left over that I bought the same day my wife started vaping. Normally I bought 2 cartons every 10 to 14 days.

So, what shall I buy next?

I really hope you are using 0 nic juice. As a non-smoker, it would be silly to get addicted to nic for no reason.
