I was updating my spending spreadsheet and decided I'll check in with my fellow vapers. Here's my breakdown since I started on the 20th of July 2010:
Total Spent on E Cigs (Hardware & Juice) ---- $1,385.15
Days without Cigs ---- 295
Total Savings ---- $1,269.85
Days till I break even ---- -141
Date I broke even ---- 20-Dec-10
Hardware List:
Description ---- Retired
650 mah eGo - Qty. 4 ---- 1
510 USB Passthrough - Qty. 1 ---- 0
900 mah eGo battery - Qty. 4 ---- 0
650 mah eGo Passthrough - Qty. 2 ---- 0
3000 mah eGo - Qty. 2 ---- 1
Royal Smoker CE2-R4 Cartos - Qty. 30 ---- 12
510 SR Atomizers - Qty. 25 ---- 21

Bridgeless Atomizers (GreenHouseOne) - Qty. 10 ---- 10
Warranty Replacement LR 510 Atomizers (GH1) - Qty. 5 ---- 5

Joye 306 (1.5) Atomizers - Qty. 2 ---- 0
IKV LR 510 (2.0) Atomizers - Qty. 10 ---- 3
REO Grand - Qty. 1 ---- 0
IF I ever figure out why I am killing so many attys on my Omega, it would help to bring the high rate of atty consumption down drastically as I have killed just a couple attys on my eGo's and none on my Reo.
So, how is everyone else doing?
From reading all of this, vaping is a lot cheaper than smoking but only if you want it to be![]()
And you are in the states! Double all that price here in Canada. In Saskatchewan, the cheapest smokes are 11 dollars a pack, and go to 16 bucks for Du Maurier a pack. Not to mention, your hardware and juice for your ecigs is half the price it is here! Canada is getting jipped left and right, we get dinged double for everything here!My First order was placed om April 4th, 2011. Since then and including the order on 4/4/11 I have spent a total of $405.74. I have not touched an analog since April 9th, 2011. When I did smoke analogs, I smoked about 4-packs a week of Newport regular at about $6.50 per pack. By the end of this week I would have spent about $130.00 on analogs so I haven't quite broke even or saved any money just yet BUT...in time I will and regardless it's all worth saving my life no matter what![]()

It took my 4 months to break even from when I started vaping and quit smoking. It is only cheaper for me now because I DIY everything. If I had to buy juice from vendors, I would not be breaking even, because I still have to buy hardware to keep my ecig going! Batts, cartos, etc cost a heck of alot money in Canada. DIY offsets that, and buying my own nic juice, but I had to go to the states for most of that! I still support Canada vendors, but I do buy very little here, mostly hardware stuff and some flavors from Happy Jack. Well, he knows he will ALWAYS get my business, even if his prices skyrocket..which I know he would never do, I would still buy from him.From reading all of this, vaping is a lot cheaper than smoking but only if you want it to be![]()

The only thing I can think of is that you're spending a ton of money on a whole bunch of hardware.
