Good you you. I wish I could say that.....i stopped smoking in March of 2013 and i'm still about 18 months out to break even. Thats a long time to not buy vape stuff.
I was smoking roll-ups and buying most of my tobacco duty-free twice a year.
So far I have not smoked 952 cigarettes and saved about £102, probably less, at full price. I probably saved more like £50, but I spent nearly $200 on my first cig-a-like.
There is no way I am going to break even, ever.

I finally broke even with the cost of vape supplies and devices vs. my previous cigarette consumption. Sept 17 was my last analog ciggy. So Now im in the green - until I buy a Provari or something... lol
congrats! so how much did u spend in home much time for that?
I would have broke even a long time ago if it wasn't for the fact that I used to buy indians smoke!
I am just glad I never told my husband that this would save us money =) I am pretty new and haven't really spent much more but I don't have backups... yet. Going slow.
I put all my purchases in to Excel and totaled them. These included my egos and replacements, cartos, tanks, etc.. also my juices plus DIY supplies. It's about 575 bucks. So about 100 packs of ciggys. I was a 3/4 - 1 pack a day smoker. I will have to add a few days for my Kraken and M16 clones. But by next weekend that's it for sure. Honestly, I am sooo glad i am not making those 7-11 runs for a friggin pack of cigs anymore!
Switched to Vaping 17 months ago.
I seem to push myself 2 to 3 months further from my break even each month. Sadly I rarely buy anything I really need and I DIY my e-liquds.

we never break even BoilerRoom ... there are always backups that need backups that need backups
This could not be any truer!
Oh yeah I feel so much better now then I did a few months ago when I started this. My son has helped me out a lot he gave me his old Vamo 2 battery last week. I love it! He told me "Mom I am proud of you. That is why I am giving you this" I wanted to cry! Congratulations on catching up! I am close but not quite there yet. If all these vape shops would stop coming out with new flavors I would be good. LOL
Where I am from, smokes cost $10/pack. As a former PAD man, you would think I would be well in the black after 6 months. Lemmee see here... carry the 1... add the tax... nope, not even close 
I don't care how much I spend. I make good money so it's easy. I couldn't imagine making $300.00 a week like most people I know do. I wouldn't be able to vape. I've got a few genuine joytech ego c, and ccs' laying around. A provari as my main mod. A couple RBAs and RDAs and I just ordered an innokin MVP v2 just minutes ago. I need more. Just sayin. Nothing lasts forever. One day the provari will fall into a lake or hot lava and I'll be glad I have backups and backups for the backups. Bout to get into DIY juice and stockpile kanthal and mesh. Oh yea I even have my ol blue e cig stuff and Chinese egos put away. I hope it doesn't come to that though, lol
I have also prepared a Word document and I am tallying every penny spent. Watch my Banner also to see how I am doing but it will be awhile yet before breaking even since I have been stockpiling, backup unit, accessories, etc.. Vaping has been keeping me busy.
I have a co-worker that is awesome at encouragement. When I lament how much I am in he replies " Who Cares - it is the quality of your Life that will improve. Money is immaterial when it comes to this ".
About one a month I find myself next to my wife on the couch looking online at vape stuff and we always seem to talk each other into buying something lol. It usually costs us 60 bucks each time. We used to smoke 2-3 cartons a month together. Thank goodness she knows me so well. She lets me spend just enough to feel like we are being naughty but we never go over budget.
