i just wanted to get a couple answers before i dove in a spent the money on one of these e cigs. first off my names nick and my wife and i smoke and it has been getting more exspensive so the most important thing im looking for is saving money on not buying exspensive cigarettes. what i was wondering about was really on the subject of how many puffs i geuss can you get out of each cartridge on say the des901 or a mini ecigarette. i smoke about a half a pack of cigarettes a day. i heard that a pack of 5 cartridges is the same as like a cartoon of real cigarettes? is that the nicatine measurement or is that in puffs?
New to forum and have some questions.?

What's up.Well in real life 1 cart for 901 will last you about 2 cigarettes.If you want to save money you should get e-liquid and refill them your self.
You heard wrong. But most of us did in the beginning. A filled cartridge's longevity depends greatly on how the user vapes the ecig amongst other things. In any case 5 carts is no where near equal to a carton of analogs (tobacco cigs).
The best way to determine your cost is by how much juice you will vape on a given day. On average I'd say that's about 2-3 ml a day. That might equal one to two packs of analogs. Yours would probably be less. Keep in mind different atomizers produce different amounts of vapor so it's not an exact science. Also different juices vape differently and as your battery charge depletes it is less efficient.
My advice is to plan on refilling your own cartridges and do some research. Figure the ml price of the juice you are considering. Plan on using about 2 ml a day multiply this to equal a month's use. Could be less for you but that should be a good number to start with.
Next figure in the cost of a couple of each atomizers and batteries per month. Ideally you'll keep a couple of extra on hand as these things can die on you without notice. Some will last days and others will last 3 months. The thing is there is no way of knowing. You might consider a usb passthrough and a usb battery pack for the 901 to save on batteries. Bottom line, you may or may not save money. For a lot of us we feel the plausible health benefits outweigh a small increase in cost if any.
For me personally I was spending $6.50 per pack at a 1 1/2 packs a day. I use about 3ml of juice per day so I'm definitely saving money. My first three months I spent a total of $300 opposed to the analogs that would have cost at least $800. You can also check out the diy section on this forum for some great tips at cutting cost by cutting your juice. For example you could get 36mg nicotine juice in a 50ml bottle. Add another 50ml of PG or a mixture of PG with VG (for more vapor). In that scenario you end up with 100ml of juice for just little over half what you originally paid. Lots of great info here.

Most suppliers charge $9.95 for a 10ml bottle of juice. It's more cost effective to get larger bottles or to buy directly from a Chinese supplier. It's even more cost effective to buy unflavored 36mg nic strength liquid, cut it with USP glycerin from the drug store and add your own flavorings from liquidxpress.com or LorAnn oils. You can pretty much cut the liquid cost in half this way. I got 100ml of 36mg from EastMall.net for $50. I also buy liquid from puresmoker.com because I like their riskee and cola flavors. Most people go through about 3ml a day. No matter how much you vape, if you buy your liquid instead of the prefilled carts, you will save big time over smoking.
