It is interesting how we justified the cost of smoking vs vaping.
With vaping, I look to justify the cost of a Vmax or Gripper as another luxury.
When I was smoking, I would not even stop to justify the cost of a carton. It was an eventually.
I do try justify all of my purchases, but yes you're right! Before I quit, I didn't think twice about spending almost $14 a pack! When I started vaping, instead of starting smoking again ,I balked at spending $100 to get set up! Now if I would have known about canvape then it would have been wwwwaaaaay less! Haha my second gear purchase, and every one since has been from my favorite place to shop! Canvape!!
I justify all of my vape gear, whether its a new tank, carto, juice, diy supplies or pv as a hobby. Something I enjoy doing! Funny how vaping has become kind of an obsession!

I haven't saved any $ vaping vs smoking but I really don't care! At least this won't kill me!! I enjoy vaping! Plus I've met some great people!!
