I started in November and broke even by the beginning of January. I live in Minnesota and your average pack is about 7-8 bucks. After that I started upgrading to a few different cheaper VV models and in march I got my first mech. Loved every bit of it! Now I have trouble between deciding to buy new bike parts for my r6 or buy new mods haha. both of which are expensive hobbies.
 
So much for keeping it a low cost days off... New Kayfun lite on top of a new vaporshark DNA30...

For me, its as much about kicking the snack habit as smokes. Lets see, $200 a month food savings, $100 a month cigarette savings, I should break even in a couple months.

Only pieces of equipment I bought I don't really like are the Spinner II I killed in under a couple of weeks and my Aspire BCD, although I still use it. Probably won't replace the head when it dies though. That said ...

$80 first setup ... Aspire and Spinner
$50 vv3 and pt2. Love them, so they go in the long term investment category.
$20 for two blister pack ego starter kits. Meh, but I like having a couple of really cheap backups. Thinking of giving one to my neighbor who keeps talking about vaping.
$20 for 5 CE4 cartos, when I had no idea what I'm doing. They're great for really strong juices or stuff I don't like to vape a lot of.
$50 for EHPro KFL+ clone and kanthal. Now have more kanthal than I know what to do with.
and ...
$170 for SS Provari blem, two batteries and charger from Provape.
$50 in miscellaneous parts and things I want to try.

So, not counting juice, $440.
Not too bad for a newb, considering a lot of the above I could have gotten far cheaper on-line or through cheaper vendors. A month and a half to break even on hardware, and very little of the above is consumable. The biggest purchase, the Provari, should last for years.

I've gotten very little juice I didn't like at all and won't eventually vape. Maybe 10% of it is in my 'nevermind' category and only one in the, 'never again' category.

And with the quantities of sugar I was sucking down and the 2-3 times a week fast food habit, I'm way ahead on the health side. Just cleaning out the pantry and the freezer has paid for the juice!

That looks awesome! I would start reading about that setup, but that's how the spending starts.
If you order direct it's 170, I got it as a 1 day old demo model with a skin for 130


The scary thing is you can go down to 0.5 ohm with it... It fired my 0.45 patriot but I didn't wanna press my luck

Wanna feel better? Here's a thought: you can't get bank account cancer.

Think of it as a preventive health expense. $500 won't even get you past the check-in desk at most hospitals if you don't have good coverage.

My bank account has cancer. It's called the Steam Summer Sale. :laugh:
