So, it seems I have spent a tad bit too much this month on vaping stuff and need to cut back. Now, when I say cut back, I mean cut back. So, as of right now, I vow not to buy anything but juice until June 1st! But, I do vow to finish my projects so that I have another mod to use. Am I the only one who feels this way?

I have spending a lot too. I have more half full juice bottles than I know what to do with. Lol My vow is smaller - just to finish up a lot of what I have this week before buying more. I want to get a MOD but am going to hold off until June or July. Part of my goal by switching to vaping was to save money. It seems kind of pointless if I don't. 
A plausible way to accomplish this is to set a target date when you can afford to buy again. In the interim stay away from reviews about the 'latest and greatest,' take all comments about how great a product may or may not be with a grain of salt, and be happy with what you currently have. Pace yourself when you buy...maybe a mod one month, enough juice to last a while another month, delivery devices another, etc. I can't help but feel what a lot of vapers buy are really impulse buys...stuff that looks and sounds good, but stuff that one doesn't really need to achieve good vaping.

Vaping is simply nicotine replacement for me. Not a hobby. I have a good set up in place and don't need to grab at every new thing on the block.
I too have to keep on a budget. I did 300$ start up and that is working well for me after 6 month. Do I want that provaree. Yes. Still I try to watch my bank account grow. Which it has. That is my motivation. So much less expensive than carton after carton of cigarettes. Right now I am keeping to 40$ish a month.

Been there done that.....and still go off the deep end from time to time. But I'm mellowing out.
Way I see it is First pay your bills, secure pocket money, and then do whatever you want with the rest.

Now that I have a couple back up eGos and my MVP, I'm good. Just need to do 'maintenance' of extra heads, cartos etc. Now juice is a whole different story! Am *Trying* to stick to a budget of about $25-$30 a month.
you and i are alike. i like what i have, so why change it? i don't need the latest and greatest...just what works to keep me off the stinkies...and saving tons with this attitude.
For me it has turned into more of a hobby. But I agree with the person who said to be happy with what you have for awhile and enjoy the money savings. I have a good supply of cartos and juice so I should be good. Though I really want a mod now. I have to stay away from the sites and videos until a few other bills are paid. Lol
Once I got my basic setup (twist, spinner, vv350, 2vamos) it is just a slow steady trickle of delivery devices and liquid purchases. I think I will end up being the person that spends more effort on liquids than hardware. My Vow is simply not to let the wife see the charge card statements.
I lost my car, my job and nearly my life 2 months ago. Got a new job now, but the accounts are nearly over-drawn and this months bills went unpaid. So no vaping stuff until the bills are caught up, unless I'm desperate for juice.
Thankfully I've got about 15 atomizers, 14 cartomizers, 12 batteries and about 200 mls of juice, so I should be good for a few months.

I try to ALWAYS have something coming in the mail, budget or not. Since I discovered carto tanks I don't need the steady flow of regular cartos I was used to. I get about 5 days out of a tank carto. I even have enough e-liquid to last until armageddon.
The stinks were costing $200 a month. Started with that budget and it will be cheap in comparison once I get the right vehicle for flavor. that's the biggest chore at this point. After that it's a matter of juice and the right carto, clearo or what ever supplies being used.
Good to see i'm not the only one impulse buying! Actually, that was a good portion of the month. I started with juice, tjen more juice, found out the rebuildable I wanted was on sale, bought it. Bought DIY stuff, decided not to use half of it, realized I was going through my eGo battery fast, bought a mod and batteries, even though I told myself next month. Bought the wrong batteries and charger, bought more batteries and another charger, then bought another rebuildable. So, most of it was updating my delivery set up, but I think I spent a good $200 when I told myself I would only spend $50. Made a $200 payment to ny card to pay it down though, but need to get it lower before I spend more. Hence the timeline of June. In which case, i'll probably buy another rebuildable June first.
