My real cost of ENI

[Brewster 59]

As I surf the ECF I see all these banners saying how much they have saved using eni rather than analogs. I am very curious as to what these things are costing me so I am keeping track. I used approx 90ml of ejuice this month at approx 15 per 20 ml which includes shipping. So I will say 67.50. My starter pack is about toast for which I paid 63.00 (2 attys and three batts) so far the charger hasn't died. So my eni cost is 130.00 on top of that I used 20.00 in Snus which gives me a savings of 30 on what I normally spend.

Wow. I can't be sure without checking, but that seems like alot more liquid than I use. Interesting. I'd like to know how much other people use. I've been using the same 3, 10mil bottles since the end of Oct, I think. I just mix and match them as I see fit.

I have absolutely NO idea how much juice I use because I keep a rotating inventory of at least ten different flavors that I vape throughout the day. I really need to settle on my favorites and be done with it, but I keep finding new flavors that I love.

It seems like the average usage is somewhere around 2-3 ml per day. I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm consuming more than that. I really need to get a grip... but I'm not smoking tobacco, so who really cares?

Ive spent about $350 so far to get myself up and running.
I have enough supplies (attys, batties and juice) to last me about 4 months.
I will break even in about 3 weeks (21 more days).
After that I will have about 1 month of actual "savings" ($150) before I have to buy more juice.
Now, from then on, I will be buying 48mg non flavored juice in bulk (250ml) which I will cut in half. 500ml of 24mg juice will last me about 6 months at a cost of $155. I also buy a 5x pack of atties every 2-3 months at $35 and since I am using a battery Mod batteries last much longer and are real cheap ($5 for 2). Add in some Loranns flavorings (about $20)
So all in all Im looking at spending about $250 every 6 months to maintain my vaping habit.
Much less than my $1500+ a year cigarette habit.
I can even throw in a couple of other Mods (Chuck, BB and 905) and still come out way ahead.

Well I was 1.5-2 pack a day smoker 90 mls puts me at 3 mls a day. One of the probs with vaping is some of the flavors are sooo good I don't put them down wheater I need a hit or not. I know exactly what I'm using because I'm using software to track that. Now this post is not about other benefits of eni or the problems of eni just my cost break down.

The signature tags don't really tell the whole story. I've been keeping a running total on how much my wife and I have spent on ecigs and all supplies since we started vaping in July. We have been saving money since about the 12th week of vaping.
But, the sig tag only shows the info you put in as to how much you smoked analogs multiplied by the cost of the cigs. The way I see it, we have actually saved more because we have juice, attys, batteries, etc. that we have never used or rotate in our use. Right now, we could go for some time without buying supplies.
That was never the case when we were smoking analogs. Cigs bought were cigs smoked back then. Having juice and ecig supplies stocked up is the equivalent of having cartons and cartons of analogs stored in a closet for a rainy day. That never happened.
We actually are saving more than my records show.

If you avoid the trap of buying every new device that comes along and settle on a preferred big battery model (I say that because it massively reduces battery costs long term) the savings are huge.

I was spending £60 a week on cigs.

I use a few batteries every 4 months - dirt cheap, around 2.5ml of juice a day, and and atomiser every two or three weeks. Even taking into account the SDs I bought, carts, the initial 901 starter kit and batteries etc when I first started vaping, I reckon I'm around £1200 up since February

I calculated it the other day. Including the four juice/parts orders, and my chuck, I've saved over $100 now. That's after about eleven weeks. Of course, my numbers are a bit skewed as smokes are $12/pack here (for the cheap ones) and eastmall is pretty cheap.

As for stocktake: I've got probably ~400ml, 10 spare attys, a bottle of VG, a bunch of batteries and a pcc I no longer use, two usb PTs I no longer use, VX2 (and 801) parts I'll probably never use, and misc carts. This will last me well into next year.
