1 SD = $165.00

25 carts and 10 atomizers from TW= $94.00

Aroma E-juice = $33.00

Eastmall EJuice Super Sampler = $50.00

Ruyan E-juice 90 ML = $ 30.00

Eyeglass case and foam = $5

juice Vault = $8

Big Battery Charger = $21.00

Spiderfire Batteries (4) = $ 7.00

Total so far as of 7/18/2009= $ 414.00


I spent $220.00 a month on analogues so I"ll break even next month. I have enough juice for at least another month or 2.

I love my Screwdriver, so I don't want or need any other device for now. Next purchase is $35 for an EVO for backup in case something happens to the SD. I think of the EVO as insurance...:D

I must of spent $400 to $500 so far, but have lots and lots of juice. Since they was taking 36 mg off the market, I thought it woud be good to stock pile lots.

I've spent many many hours researching stuff on ecigs though, mostly the juice and nicotine stuff. And I also got to domain names, related to ecigs and had to buy some gear.

I see it as a investment, not a matter if you want to get the stuff or not. As we can start vapin pretty cheap, it's a matter of if you can wait. And take a risk of not getting the stuff, it would take only one raid on a ecig store, and things would start drying up fast then.

I have spent close to $500 so far and will probably spend more. I have a joye510, janty kissbox and a 401(forgot which one it is). I've bought most my 'stash' from Heaven Gifts, so it's fairly cheap. I will be buying another joye510 soon, it's my total favorite. Now...all this sounds like a lot of money, but her in NY cigarettes cost $7 per pack, and I was smoking 1 1/2 packs a day sometimes 2 packs. Grand total of over 300 per month! So....now that I've got my ecigs I should be spending 50-100 per month. Even if it were the same price, the health benifits would be worth it for me!

When compared to the ridiculous prices in some areas, vaping is still really cheap even if you go crazy with stockpiling and experimenting.

I live in NJ, right by NYC. I've been dealing with $7-8 dollar packs for years now. I switched to making my own cigarettes for a while (bulk tobacco and filters), but that's a huge pain.

I spent almost half an year in S. America last year, and I have to admit that I went a bit crazy and smoked far too much because packs are only $1-2 there and I could smoke almost everywhere. I wished I discovered vaping before my trip because my months of hardcore smoking didn't help my health. I was coughing so much...and now I never cough at all.

I've spent $981.74 since 4/20. 8-o Funny, since I thought I'd spent about $500. PS Haven't had a cigarette since my first vape.

Break it down.

4/20-4/30 - $197.31
5/1-5/31 - $509.33
6/1 - 6/30 - $194.62
7/1 - present - $80.48

Wow! Look at May. I spent a ton trying to find the "perfect" set up. Luckily, I think I've found an affordable and satisfying routine now. :hubba:

It will be awhile until I break even, if you measure it against the cost of packs of cigarettes, but it was still cheaper than my health insurance premiums (yep, even May's couldn't top it) and I know I get more value from the investment in e-cigs. Plus, I think the true "cost" of my former smoking habits, remains to be seen.

I wonder if this pattern of spending is common.

here is a spreadsheet I did up real quick that I thought people might like. Just change the highlighted yellow fields and bam you know what you spending, and when your gonna break even ect.


Nice spreadsheet. Not sure what is happening with everyone, other than perhaps they are doing a lot of experimenting and wasting a lot of cash nnedlessly, but I look to come out WAY ahead of my 2 pack-a-day analog habit. I'm lookng at saving about 150 a month. We shall see......

Without a doubt. And this is why it is such a great, life changing thing for a guy like me. Been smoking for 20 years, 2 packs a day for the last several years. And now I am virtually analog free (slip one in here and there still, but those urges are less and less frequent)

For heavy smokers that convert over, the $$$ savings can be substantial. And the ability to breathe and SMELL is priceless.

Just called Cigana and got the free 14day trial. Well it is $9.95 USD for shipping/processing, but if not satisfied in 14 days, send it back and they will refund the money. Hope this is my first step to a smoke free and non smelling future!!!


Well just an FYI I visited the Cigana website and it is as overpriced as anything I have seen. do yourself a favor and shop around for suppliers who aren't going to charge you $100 for a $40 dollar kit.

First you buy an e-cig kit, then you pick up some carts or juice. After trying it out a few days and liking it, you decide to stock up on extra attys and batteries in case they ban them later. While at the website you notice a new sexy black or platinum model that you talk yourself into because "hey, I can always use it as a spare.. right?" More spare parts for your newest toy, then you find this place and start reading how everyone think their e-cig is the best thing since sliced bread and you start wondering what you're missing....

Sound familiar? :)
