It's fun shopping and and trying out this new stuff, what's your monthly budget?

I'm sticking to a budget of $100 a month. I also want to save up for attending an e-cig conventions this year, hope this buying spree will wear off after a while.

So far, for February and March, I've bought a riva-se kit, an original joye battery, xxxl carts and shorty cones, a vv piper pt, a 5V e-power kit, and probably like 8 ounces of flavored clear juice and diy supplies. Total spent...$199.94

So until April, if I see something, I'm going to have to just add it to Amazon Universal Wishlist and wait.

I don´t have a monthly budget, but I´m hoping to keep the costs of vaping lower than the costs of smoking. Since the taxing of smoking in Finland is very high, my yearly budget will be more than 1000 euros and I would still save money.

Sorry, I cannot share the exact details of my VAD (vaping acquisition disorder), as it's entirely possible my wife could see this post. It's my first month, and I have a fully kitted Provari arriving tomorrow, 2 starter sets of volt ecigs with all the trimmings, and plenty of backups in case of emergency. Aaand, about 40 5ml sample bottles of juice.

It's a great hobby. And mods, (once or if you get into them) hold their resale value really, really well.

I'm so happy I quit analogs over a year ago. Never looked back!

I think for most of us it tapers off after a while. Once you've got your go-to rig, a spare setup, and enough stock of juice and extra hardware, there really isn't that much you need. I order the same juices every 3 or 4 months and spend about $100 at a time, and once or twice a year I'll buy a bunch of atty's, replace worn batt's, and other odds and ends.

I rarely try anything new other than one or two small bottles of juice with each order. I'd guess I'm right around $50/month now. If I'd just get off my .... and DIY more juice I'd be around $25/month, although I've got enough DIY supplies that I wouldn't have to buy much of anything for close to a year.

You're supposed to have a budget?

 

[John1952]

Well, if I spend less than $195/month, I'm saving money compared to my analog habit.

But it's hard to tell. I've spent a lot so far, but the stuff lasts. It's not like buying cigs and having it all go up in smoke. I should start keeping track of my expenditures, just for fun.

Crap... the budget. There are so many attractive sales and colors and juice flavors...

 

[dearme]

I will say that that mod spending spree goes in spurts regardless of what you currently have.......LOL

 

[CountSmackula]

I use a "amount saved" banner to keep track of what would have been analog expenditures. I also add the cost of each purchase (juice, clearos, etc.) to my "break even" total. This way I keep a running tally.

Not quite OCD, but keeps my vaping costs in perspective.

I would be happy to break even.
