Probably not, but that never stopped anyone. that is why it's called an addiction. There will always be people that will spend the money on ecigs, but we should be making every attempt to increase adoption rate of ecigs. Yes, many of us spent the money when ecigs were still a lot more expensive then now. My first kit was a chinese cigalike that I spent 60 bucks on 4 or 5 years ago. It was the cost and accessibility that kept me from switching until last year, when I finally found something that was satisfying at a sustainable cost. When I smoked I bought pipe tobacco for 7 buckas a bag, 100 tubes cost me 3-5 dollars. This was enough to last me a week. With DIY and making my own coils I am back below that range of cost again, but it took me a year of trial and error to get here. In that year I took advantage of a ton of coupons, freebies, and discounts without which I would have failed, because I couldn't have risked the full prices on some of the products that saved me. If you are at a point where cost is no issue I am happy for you, but don't tell me that I should be consigned to either die or quit smoking cold turkey because you have more than me. That is the worst kind of elitism.
