I'M RIGHT HERE
more money, about a month into my nicotine replacement therapy now. that is what i call it because that is why i use the e-cig. so after much research i went with the 901 kit and ordered extra atty's batty's juices, and carts. 3 days after i got it i ordered a 50 ml menthol 24, i smoked newports so i dont know why i ordered , some 10 ml bottles of mocha, mb, & ry4 with my first order, didn't care for none but the menthol, was a bit strong menthol so it worked ok, i just cut it with them flavors i had and streched my supply.
i guess things are going OK, starting with the 901, because learning to vape is not an easy task. but now that i am getting past the noob stage, i hope anyway lol. it seems that the more i learn the more it is going to cost. of course i bought a pass-thru, now i know i need the manual pass-thru, the 5 second cut off on the auto just doesnt give me the time i need to get my proper hit, there's 30 bux, i also know i have to have a prodigy, for 2 reasons the better performance & the cheaper battery's, cause i can tell these 901 batt's are not gonna last as long as i want them to.

let's see what else have i learned, hmmmmm
juice- first order was 24 mg was good juice. second juice order i saw some cheap stuff 36mg ordered just a couple small bottles,, hardly no throat hit, made a china order for 100 ml of 36 and a couple batty's, great juice, good price had to wait longer, but was kinda neat tracking it for a week from half way round the world.
my worst experience so far was last week when i screw my battery into the charger i guess i got to tight cause when i un-screwed it the led cap popped off , the sleeve slid off the guts and it took me a half hour to get the thing un-screwed outta there, destroyed the battery " always wanted to know whats inside but was gonna wait and take apart a dead one lol, anyway glad i didnt damage the charger.

so the way it looks i just have to push my break even date against analogs a little further down the road.

the good thing is i can feel my breathing getting better, i hope this is a sign of better health. analogs are killers

It's been a month since I started e-cigs. I'm nearing $400 in costs associated with that already.

This by NO means is ANY kind of accurate estimate as to what the average e-cig user would spend in a month or even how much I would spend in the months to come.

I bought a 901 kit at first-$139 from EPuffer, Yeah, I totally got ripped off. Then I bought two more batteries and atomizers from a way better and cheaper supplier. I've bought several bottles of juice. Just recently I decided I'd try the 510 instead since I wasn't too satisfied with the 901's performance. So I purchased a starter kit and two extra batteries and atomizers, some blank carts. tea bags to use as cart fillers.

Yeah. . .I love the 510 and will likely stick to this model, especially since I can't afford to spend this kind of money. Geez.

welll to be honest im a bit of a p/s fanboy but with that said i got a prodigy and i coudnt be more thrilled with it.
With that said its a bit more expensive but at the same time you dont have to worry about fugging up suction batterys and the vape ....well lets just say the weakest hit ive had off it is the strongest vape ive had off a pen style.
Now i know its hard to fork over the intial money for the prodigy or any other mod/new style ecig but in the end i think the prodigy is a well built device that will pay for itself in the long run.
Ive had my share of ordering juice/batteries and at 15 bucks a pop for crappy suction batterys it adds up after awhile.
anyhow i guess my point is this ... invest in a higher voltage well made device ... the intiaql cost is a bit extreme but in the long run its worth it.
After you have the intial device the only thing you should have to invest in is juice which you can order from china for a substanial discount along with atomizers. and maybe a few empty carts or filled carts if you can find them.
I find that if you order from china you can order two months worth of gear for less then 100 bucks usd ... this would be about 100 ml of liquid and 4 atomizers or so maybe a bit more liquid if you are a heavy vapor.
