I went from over a carton every week to spending more upfront getting set up for vaping. I'm closing in on my 2 month mark of no cigarettes. I've definitely spent more, but I'm starting to get it under control. I bought a Provari Mini with two Tatroe extension rings and a Tatroe base - that was expensive, but it'll last and be satisfying. I've spend lots of money finding juices that I like, which I won't need to continue doing now that I know what I like. I've spend a bunch of money on delivery systems, but now that I have multiple delivery systems, most of them I'll be able to save dough on by rebuilding. I just got DIY lab equipment and chemicals yesterday, and tomorrow more stuff is coming in, so I'll be able to vape for much cheaper. Today I'm vaping juice that I made yesterday, so that's already beginning to pay off. I've got 125 feet of wire and I don't remember how many feet of wick in the mail right now.
After the initial learning curve and investment, I should soon be spending far less. I'll be able to set up a monthly budget and spend it primarily on those juices that I can't replicate satisfactorily by DIY and on Ikenvape cartomizers for my carto-tanks. I'm guessing that I should be able to set a $50 monthly budget and be good after I get this DIY lab put together and fully operational. $50 will be far cheaper than 5 cartons every month. I just need to restrain myself when it comes to impulse buying and the hype surrounding various juices. The satisfaction of vaping my own juice should help with that, though.
