My calculated expense of vaping my 510 - Sound about right??

[Canute]

Trying to calculate how much I want to stock up on supplies and what the cost of vaping will be compared to smokes. I've had my 510 about a week (had a lousy Smoke Anywhere PV for a week and a half prior to that) I was a pack and a half a day smoker. Since receiving my 510 I've been vaping like a mad man and very accurately tracking my e-liquid usage to get a feel for how much I want to stock up. Despite my fiendish use of this thing I've determined that a 30ml bottle should last me 11-12 days or about 2.5ml per day! If I figure frying a battery per month and 3 atty's (haven't fried an atty yet but only been a week) it looks as though I can plan to be spending $2.50 per day to satisfy the habit that was costing me about $9.00-$10.00 per day (plus the impulse purchases when hitting convenience stores all the time). Would be less if I buy a bulk order of liquid and assuming I un-glue this thing from my face a little more often. Does a battery per month and 3-4 atty's sound about right for a 2.5ml a day vaper with a 510?

The battery should perform well for the first 200 charges. Are you charging a single battery 6 times a day? If not I'd say you should get a solid three months rom each battery. And I've noticed that attys go strong for the first two weeks, and even after that they still perform well enough for me, though flavor tends to worsen by the hour.
The best prices for eliquid I have found has been mist-stix.com 9.00 for 30 ml, with ecf coupon code. So a battery costs 12.00, attys 8.00, and juice 9.00, a monthly total of 48.00 (half a battery a month, two attys a month, and 90ml of juice) thats less than 2.00 a day.
Americanbestbuys.com sells batterys and attys at 8.10 each using a coupon code (look under their supplier thread for the code) that would lower the cost even more!

CO SPRINGS? Go ytcracker/Bryce Case, Jr. LOL! The city he lives in. (Wiki it if unsure.)

Yup that sounds about right. I have used attys Much longer than 1 month, but I always rotate at least 2. The supermini's I was snapping off an atty to two a month.

I make my own juice, so hardware is the only major cost.

I am saving a ton, but I was an ultra-light smoker 1.5 packs a day.

I have my nic cut down to like 1-2mg/ml right now, but I add some 4-24mg when needed.

Making juice from eliquid saves alot and you can get even lower than 11mg, if trying.

I have the typical 2 bat, 2 atty, 5 cart, PCC kit with 60ml liquid on hand right now. Plan to place an order for 1 more bat, 3 more atty's and 5 empty carts tomorrow under the belief that that should safely keep me going till something dies. The goal is to make sure that I have enough on hand that when something goes out I'll have time to replace it without being forced to supplement with analogs. Can honestly say I have zero desire to smoke an analog again as long they let me vape!

I spent much more getting started...... Started with a 510, went and got the accessories, PCC, PassThrough, bottles, Chargers and all of it......
Got tired of it quickly and moved up to a Silver Bullet 3.7 / 6.0 volt..... The 510 became a back-up...... Moved to the GG Transformer for the power and the AFS...... Then got the GLV 5.0 Volt..... The high Brid Mods cost more but save on batteries and just are so much better for me......
Investigate now, decide what you like and what you want...... Buy your ultimum instead of going in steps like me...... Save yourself some money...... Just my 2 cents.....

Averages are averages but most 1-2pack a day smokers figure 20ml a week. Even though I haven't lost a manual batter in 5 months - you might figure like ky - 1 every 3 months and while I've lost on atty in again, 5 months you could figure 1 a month.

20ml x 4 = say $20/month
1/3 of a batt = $3
1 atty = $7
vaping = $30/month .... ymmv ;-)

For a 2 pack a day smoker in Ohio, for example at $6/pack that's a savings of $330/month
