I also am trying to get a handle on cost

[bssage]

I dont want to seem dense. And don't want to burden you all with a bunch of silly questions. Buuuuuuuut

So if I am reading stuff correctly. I am going to burn up a att about every two weeks (on average)??

And I am unclear on the battery situation. I can go to a battery site and get for example 123 batteries in bulk for what cost about 50 cents each (I have a high end flashlight thats why I know that). I have to get special batteries ordered from a smoke site for these batteries?

I am frequently out of range. Where I couldn't get supplies if I had to. I can see myself drinking the juice if my cig breaks down somewhere.

I'm excited about switching to the E-cig but a little skeptical also.

These are not "use once and dispose" flashlight batteries, but special rechargeable batteries designed to look more or less like a cigarette, e.g., as shown in this photo of the components of most popular Joye 510 model:

These batteries ($12-$15) last for a long time (at least a couple months on average). The $8-$10 atomizer portion is the most delicate and may last only a couple weeks. [The cartridges are quite inexpensive and can be refilled many many times.]

The other principal ongoing cost is the e-liquid (which the atomizer, powered by the battery, turns into vapor). A $15 30-ml (i.e., 1 oz.) bottle will last about three weeks.

So, an upfront investment of about $60 (~$40 starter kit + ~$20 in sample-sized e-liquid), i.e., a cost of a carton of analog cigarettes. And then about $20-$30 per week (i.e., half the cost of a carton of analog cigarettes) for replacement parts, e-liquid, and accessories.
