I definitely need help with keeping the cost down as much as possible! Lol

If you can hold your patience and make sure to ask here first before spending you'll save alot of money.
You'll be able to save money from not spending on the cigarettes but there will likely be an initial investment over the next 3 months.

You have found a great place here. The people here have been instrumental in helping me find a flavorful and satisfying vape. I too started with a cigalike to see if I could cut down on smoking. Pack a day for 24 years, honestly didn't think I could quit. The cigalikes were kinda expencive and heard about one you could put juice in so I got a $20 dollar ce4 kit. I started to notice cigarettes tasting terrible and preferred vaping. After a couple weeks I just dropped the smokes, it wasn't like quitting at all. The best advice I can give is there IS HUGE flavor out there.
I got stuck with a pro tank 2 mini and had tons of problems, no flavor, sore throats and little satisfaction almost went back to smoking. Some one at a local vape shop let me try his dripper. It was exactly what I had been missing. Huge flavor and dense vapor.
Chasing the next model or the latest and greatest tank can definitely be expensive so ask here and watch reviews.

I really like that! Instead of feeling like a failure if I slip up, I can still feel good about what I have accomplished. Thank you for showing me that!!!!! (((hugs)))

Don't think of it as "a slip up". Less smoking is a good thing. And less can lead to none. Took me six weeks about to totally stop smoking. It dropped dramatically from two packs a day to maybe four to six cigarettes a day. Then drifted down from there. I figured even if I got stuck at something like a 90% drop that wouldn't be so bad eh?

Smoking is a big habit to shift. It can take time. Rome wasn't built in a day and other cliches and stuff. :)

That can be done. Some like vaping as a hobby and spend a fair amount. And if that works for them, great. Better hobby than buying toxic chemicals to inhale right?

Those of us on a tight budget (sigh... really tight lately) can spend way less than smoking costs. I spend maybe around $15 to $30 a month? My VTR was around $100 (and I probably spent another $80 getting set up) but my monthly, long term costs are low. A new coil, $3. Batteries (which last months), $10 to $12. I do my own juice mixes and that runs about 8 cents per ml. About 50 cents a day?

I'm going to spend about $40 next paycheck and consider that part of "stocking up" (extra battery, couple extra coils, such). That's not even a carton of cigs which run $65 or so here.

Blu, by the way, is expensive. To save money, you'll want to switch off them in the near future. Don't panic and jump at the first vapor device somebody suggests but do look around, talk to folks, ask questions. Blu is way over priced on their cartridges. You can do way, way better.
