Is there a cheaper solution to vaping? NEED HELP ASAP!

Hello everyone! I've been vaping for two years now and these last several months have been tough for me when it comes to vaping. I'm the kinda of guy who loves a powerful throat hit. I can't count how many different types of tanks I've gone through to help me get that throat hit. I've also gone through a good number of mods. Now, I've had success with all this with some great mods and a couple of good tanks but now it seems that no matter what mod or what tank I use, I just don't get that throat hit anymore. A month ago I got an AeroTank 2 at 1.2 ohms which worked great with the first coil I used, but ended up failing with all other coils. BTW, my nicotine level was 18 and so I bumped it up to 24 to help with it. All e-liquids I've ever vaped were always 80 PG / 20 VG. My local shop convinced me to try the Atlantis tank which is a 0.5 ohms and I currently have it running on the SMY God Mod. Such a great combination and I get great flavor and a damn good throat hit. Currently vaping Mad Alchemist 'Zen' e-liquid with it. Here's my problem though; I've gone through a half bottle of it (30ML) since last night! Its $20 a bottle and with as fast as its going, that will probably be $60 a week! That's more than I spent on cigarettes when I was smoking. I don't want to go back to basic standard tanks because its not satisfying with throat hits and at the same time I'm really debating to give up on this new set up I got simply because of fast I go through the liquid. Can someone please please please tell me how I can keep my current set up without spending so much money? Are there any retailers out there who sell maybe 16oz bottles for a cheap price? Thank you in advance!

Yepper..."DIY" or Do it yourself is an amazing money saver as well as allowing you to customize juices the way you want them.

Check out the DIY forum here to get started reading up on it... DIY E-Liquid

Be advised...Keep it simple to begin with! It's real easy to make some basic juices but you can drive yourself crazy if you let it "get away from you" and make things too complicated.

DIY is your cheapest option, but you could also cut some cost by using different hardware. Replacement coil costs add up. Building your own coils can save a lot of money over time. Also, by using an RDA you don't ever have to worry about not getting enough throat hit. You'd more than likely be able to reduce your nic level. Not everyone finds dripping appealing because of having to add more juice every few hits, but there are rebuidable tanks also. You can get an Ehpro Kayfun clone for less than 30.00. enjoy all the benefits of dripping(like unmatched flavor), and all the simplicity of using a tank. If you can take the time to do some research on building coils, and making juice yourself, you'll spend some money to get started, but once you have the stuff you need, you can be vaping for a couple bucks a week. Less than a pack of smokes for sure

Heavier on the PG will help with TH. Also nicotine. Obviously watts, too. I think he was referring to you making your own juice.

^^^This, plus the type of battery(s) you are using. 30-35 amp Batteries put out some nice clouds/vapor. I bought 7 VTC4's (Not fakes). And these batteries worked 100 times better than the other 2 types I had been using.

I stopped making my own about 18 months ago. I make 100 ml at a go because the math is easy. I brought 100ml of 72 (highest) nic, buy my VG from Boots the chemist for £1.29 / 200ml (5 at a time). 1 Litre of PG for £6, both PG and VG are pharmaceutical grade. I buy flavourings once a month 8 bottles of capella £2.70 / bottle. I use 5% nic, put that in first (5 ml) 2x10ml bottles of flavouring ( Lemon merangue is fave at mo) . Look at the remainder of the bottle guess 20% fill PG to there, and then fill the rest up with VG. Add a little boiled water to thin for Genesis attys and hey presto all done. Works out £6 / 100ml. Cheap enough for me as I go through about 10-15ml a day. Hope that helps.
