I spent waaay too much.

[deannaAlex]

Just placed my order with a few vendors and my bill came out with an OMG!
getting started is expensive.

i do have 3 bottles here of mandarin, choc and 555.

luckily these ppl here have helped me out w/ juice and such so it's not been as expensive as it could have been for me - between PIF and wants and needs threads, and even DIY PIF (if u'r interested in that)

w/ Pay it Forward, if u see an offer you like, take it then put up what u decided isn't for you or have more than enough of - easy as that - take what u need, give what u can - simples

Yes it can get expensive...but sooooo worth it! And the savings over buying cigarettes adds up quick...you'll have to get you one of these banners at the bottom... mmmm mandarin and chocolate...have u tried mixing them?

 

[basilray]

Agreed. I think all of is will say that getting started want cheap. A lot of us overpaid for our first device, and we are still here going strong! Even if it seems like you're not saving now, you can't put a price on quitting cigarettes.

Its worth it when you start to feel better.All the pleasure and none of the guilt.

 

[AngusATAT]

If you want to feel better, shoot me a PM about how much you spent. Then I will reply with how much I've spent. That way you will feel like you got off cheap.

And if THAT doesn't work, look at the "break even" part of my banner below, which only accounts for half of what I've spent.

I bought (deep breath) thousands of dollars worth of e-cig stuff since April, all the while thinking I was eligible for the Long-term Home owner refund (bought new house last year).

Granted, much of it is still at my house unused, but about 30% of it was given to family/friends to get them started.

I try hard to stay on a budget but it doesn't always work. I figure if I spend what I did on cigarettes or less each month then I'm doing ok. However, there have been some times that it doesn't work out that way. I think alot of us have enough supplies to last at least a couple years but it is fun to try new things. I have gotten to the point where I only use a couple different flavors all of the time which makes it easier to stock up. I am sure I could not buy anything else right now and have enough liquids to last two years and enough atomizers and cartomizers to last longer than that. Alot of the inital expense is figuring out what you like and what kind of pv works best for you. Hang in there. It will get easier.

 

[Drozd]

you'll have a bit of that...I kinda instituted a budget when I first started that I wouldnt buy new hardware except for every 30 days...kinda as a treat for making it 30 days, then 60, then 90....kinda hlped keep things a bit under control

 

[mini_art]

Drozd you are way too sensible LOL> I wish I had been. I spent a ton getting started.

However not having to pay for meds because I dont need them any more has just about made up for it!
That is priceless

 

[blkeyedszn]

I was averaging about $250 a month to keep my cigarette habit going, so I've sort of set that as my monthly vaping supplies limit. Some months I've gone under and some I've gone over. I think for the most part I'm still under what I would have spent on cigs. However I don't have a huge stockpile and now I'm thinking it's time to get some more batteries! I just fried my first one yesterday when my atty went haywire on me, made a loud pop and then my ego battery was toast. I feel like holding a little funeral for it because I loved it so.

 

[UntamedRose]

Dont bury it Susan, lots of the modders would love to take that...for their evil experiments.

Alex, my spending has dropped off a lot once i found what what really worked for me. But it took ordering from a bunch of different places to do that.
But now I only really need to spend about 30-40 a month.

*rubs his hands together for evil experiments before noticing being watched then assumes a sorrowful expression* aww i'm sorry u'r friend ego battery is now no longer among the living blkeyedszn. if you like, you could send it to me and i'll make sure that it's final resting place is no longer a worry on u'r mind... *attempted sincere look*

 

[blkeyedszn]

Lol, demon, it's all yours if you want it. I would feel so much better about it's death knowing that it might possibly get a rebirth as something better than what it once was. I also have a fried LR 510 atty if you want that as well. Shoot me a PM with your address if you want these.

 

[pm2006]

I think most of my budget goes to USPS. lol.

 

[deannaAlex]

OK, i don't feel as bad!

Where do I get one of these banners?
Mixing those flavors may be a GOOD thing. mmm
I am going to try it.

 

[marya1144]

Oh dear... If I had a nickel for every nickel I've spent... that's all I'm sayin' !

I def overpaid for my first device...my BB. I have always wanted a second one but didn't want to pay another $$. Someone very sweet got me a Ken Mod and I am sooo Thankful and will forever be Grateful!!

Glad you're off analogs.....vaping is so delicious. Stick around here and start trading... It helps.

 

[deannaAlex]

Great thanks to all! My package finally came in UPS. I am going to vape tonight!
