I have kept track of how much I have spent so far and so far on
PVs:489.98
mods:118.98
juice:412.43

Meaning that my little ticker at the bottom that shows just how much I have saved from not smoking is not correct lol not even close...I have to admit though I have gone a bit overboard on juice and PVs I owned 8 two took a dump earlier tonight so they will be getting replaced! I will either be buying another MVP Shine not in pink because I already own that one but in green or black...not purple the snowflakes are kinda seasonal lol.:facepalm: Couldn't Innokin have come up with a better design than snowflakes for God sake? I mean what were they thinking? Ok back to my original thought lol I have ADD bad oh look something shiny! :ohmy: How much have you spent on your habit or hobby? Or do you even know? A guesstimate would be fine too lol!

Happy Sunday and :vapor:on my friends!

Between the wife and I we have spent just over $1200 in 16 months. In that time we would have smoked at least $4800 in cigarettes ($300/mo). So we are WAY ahead in savings. It's even more when you factor in that we used the savings to pay off the last of our debt (other than the mortgage). We have gained both physical and financial health.

I Don't think I want to know it may be to scary


I'm at that point now lol especially after my last order from eBay,fasttech,and jwraps. LOL Oh and I can't forget my $80.00 tackle box from wal-mart lol ouch! Shoulda just bought a craftsman tool box and saved myself the trouble of outgrowing tackle boxes and this is a big mo fo with 9 plastic compartments that come out and dividers that you can customize so it was perfect for vape gear! I am nowhere near filling it now but maybe after my order from fasttech and eBay get here I will be closer to filling it since I ordered a lot of batteries and when I say a lot I mean A LOT! :facepalm:

I have no idea, but I can come to something of an estimate I think.

4 iVape.net variable volt express starter kits @ $14.95 each = $59.80
2 iTaste VV v3 express kits @ $25 something = $50ish
2 MVP 2's at $40 each = $80
1 Provape Provari plus 18350 batteries and Nitecore Intelliicharger = $215
4 Mini Protank II's at $11 each = $44
1 iClear 30b = $20
1 Aspire BDC ETS = $7
2 iClear 16 = $12
2 iClear 16b = $14
1 Hcigar Kracken = $27
4 generic bottom coil plastic clearos $8
2 Bloog 808D-1's = $10
1 smokeless Image starter kit =$40
3 Bedford Slims mini kits = $36
1 Innokin AIO kit = $30

The above is all the equipment I've purchased in the last 6 months, minus coils and juice. Much of it isn't mine and never was though. A lot went to my sister, my husband and my mother in law. I'm supplying 3 people including myself and I'm still under my former cigarette budget of 3 packs per day at $14 pack.

For the record, I only smoked 1.5 packs per day. I included my husbands 1.5 packs as he quit too, and the money is ours, not his or mine. Everything is in one pot, and so were our expenses. Most of my equipment purchased were made with savings in mind. I hit sales and reduced prices where I could as I'm supplying 4 people. All save for the Provari I purchased as a gift to myself on my 6 month quite smoking anniversary. Even that, however, will lead to savings as I'll only need to by batteries for that moving forward, rather then another PV. My sister got one of the 2 MVP'S I purchased as she lost two egos in two months.

About $700 so far. Started with an evod starter kit and some juice. Then started exploring different things and that's when my expenses went up... hoping that will settle down for a while. Includes about $75 in getting set up with an evod starter setup, about $75 in various clearomizers, $160 itaste 134 (great desk toy for work), $200 provari mini (yesterday's impulse purchase but liking it and more practical to carry around -- better than buying a carton of newports), and the rest in juice.

I think I'm satisifed for the moment that I don't need any more big hardware purchases for a while (or are these the famous last words), but will continue sampling juices so in my second month I'll break even with smoking and plan for it to go down from there once I have a better sense of what I like.
