To say that I'm jealous would be an understatement. Wow! How did you manage? I spent that my first two weeks!

Lol, maybe I shoulda added that I've only used em about 3-4 months total.....lol! Sorry to let you down. My first try was over a year ago, and kept killing batteries or running out of carts, so went back to analogs til I couldn't breathe and walk at the same time.....but since Jan 5th, it's only been e-cigs for me.

I bought my super mini from the wrong site (they charged $30 more) because I didn't know better and was in a hurry to buy at that time.

So $90 for the kit
one batt went dead tried to fix but failed $20
Pure smoker banana fierce $20
JC Peach cobbs & T Cured $50
RN4081 Passthrough (love it) $25
Case $10

so yup $215, had it for about 2 months now. @ 10 bucks for a two 2 pack deal im almost half paid off, I wont be buying anything for a while the liquid should last 2-3 months. By then I should be into savings mode.

i have spent 80 at cloud 9, 70 at vapor guys, 50 at jc, 48 at PS, 200 at Jantusa, 50 at liquidexpress, 50 on other stuff (bottles, pg, vg, dropers, etc.. all total I would have spent 400 or sp on cigs. i have not smoked a cig in 2 months 3 days.i do have enough e-cigs (3) and enough liquid until aug or so. I know i will order more juice, but not going to get another e-cig until oct when the Janty Cameo comes out (what ever that is going to be). i do hope my wife will get me a e-pipe for my 41st b-day. i feel better and the money i spent has kept me off cigs. I told a co worker who is thinking about vaping is just spend your cig money on e-cigs/pv's and liquid. no extra money wont have cash to buy smokes. vaping is great. it works and is money well spent.
 
Starter kit from e-puffer: $100
Starter kit from thesmokelessshop: $70
Starter kit from esmokeyshack: $50
Assorted parts: Maybe $75
Assorted juices: around $90

Total: $385

2 packs per day of analogs=60 packs per month=6 cartons at $52 per carton=$312

Soooo....after the first month or so, I'm golden! Only been vaping for 2 weeks now so I haven't broken even yet, but I will soon. :) I'm just considering this an investment which should pay off quickly.

In 1st 2 months (not quite 2 months yet) of vaping I have spent over £1100 or $1600 - $1700 ..... ouch.

But was spending £200 $300 a month on real uns and I have now got a 2 year supply and enough hardware to fund ecigs in a small country :)

In about 4 months will break even as I am now quiting the spending until I get through this 1500ml of juice I have :)

Me Tooooo :).

Still, with the pols here in WA state "encouraging us to quit" with oppressive taxes and laws, I am still ahead of the game, abet not by much.

I think that I am set for the foreseeable future and costs should go down to just juice and the occasional atomizer and battery.

Going to a USB passthrough when stationary really helps and the 510 passthrough I got from the WidowLady also has a battery in it so it works when the computer is off (and it uses a commonly available battery!).

I'm also building up my own rechargeable USB supply using NiMH AA cells (cheap and almost anywhere) that can also be powered off the car when out with the standard (non-battery) types of USBPTs. In an emergency I can use alkalines in it but have to be a bit more careful.

Makes me happy to give the bloodsuckers less money to squander on their buds...

Now that I can extract nico, I am not worried too much about what the pols do. There is already an underground / black market coming together from their oppressive antics :).

    I'm also over $500, worse, as a 'newbie' to e-smoking.
    TW Titan PCC kit and USB passthrough (the 510 passthrough is very nice, with inline battery: $136
    Realizing no spare battery or atomizer in the PCC kit ( :-( ), so back for 2x atomizers, 1 spare battery: $56
    Some TW liquids and a case: $110
    Wanted to try a second e-cig, and some supplies, M401 starter + PG, glycerin, a few bottles from Midwest: $100
    Midwest was out of 401 atomizers, and wanted a spare atomizer and pair of batteries for the M401, then save Eastmall having a liquid sale: $169 (hopefully arriving soon, been 7+ days)
    JC Sampler pack + a pair of 10ml: $56 (no shipping confirmation or responses to inquiries yet..)

    Started to read a bit more and tried to mix up something vanilla-like with my RY4 from Midwest, so bought some beans and extracts, from amadeusvanillabeans.com: $36
    Misc supplies from juiceyliquid: $54
    *many* extracts and powders from fairiesfinest: $73
    bottles from us plastic: $30
    filling in some e-liquid flavors to try, from thesmokesafe: $36
    Really like the USB pass-through, and wanted manual batteries for the 510, wound up with 2x more kits, plus misc, from thesmokesafe: $120
    FInally, some more flavors to sample for mixing my own, from Lorann: $35

    I'm really *afraid* to add this one up, but:
    - I've got e-juice for at least 12 months, likely longer. Will put most of it into a closed box in the frig.
    - I should be good on batteries, atomizers, blank carts, etc, hopefully for 6 months, maybe longer, depending on atomizer lifespans.
    - I've got nearly every initially remotely interesting flavor (to me) covered, either via pre-mixed, or flavorings, to make my own.

    The only things I'd really like to pick up at this point are an M401 USB passthrough, and if I can find a small 5v battery to make my own USB passthrough/box mod. (seems 5v is the sweet spot for voltage, and conveniently, also the voltage of the USB ports per USB specification)

    Total, since the start back last summer, and re-equipping this last winter, I've spent about $1000 give or take on ecigs and supplies.

    Considering in those same 6 total months I would spend about 2000-2100 (2-3 packs a day) on analogs, I count myself 1k ahead and in better health to boot! I've spent about equal to what I've saved, good ratio.

    Also ecig savings paid for a trip to Florida to catch Iron Maiden... bonus! lol

    SIXTY FOUR atomizers?!? 8-o

    Wow. I may yet wind up with that many, but seeing how things have been going, they'll be for 24+ different *models*
    I so want a set of adapters! :)


    With fear of a ban, I've accumulated
    64 attys
    13 bats
    5 passthrus
    2 kensington power packs and 1 coby
    58 carts
    520ml flavored juice
    200ml 36mg liquid for DIY
    2 liters pg/vg
    30ml flavoring for DIY
    an assortment of Lorann's flavoring

    Whatever it cost, it beats smoking!

    I didn't worry much about batteries, since I use a passthru most of the time. But all the posts about atty life being 2 weeks to a month had me stocking up on them like crazy in case a ban or FDA rules really made them impossible to get down the road.

    I was a complete failure with quitting until e-cigs came around, so I'll be damned if I'm going to let the government ruin this for me!
