OK so.... I'm an addict...

[JayTater]

Are there any suggestions to chilling out on the spending? Holy crap... In the last 3 days, I've bought 5 different juices. A new cinnamon/mint/menthol mix from the local B&M, Mango Milkshake and Peaches and Irish Creme, a Monster Energy mix, and a 20ml of RY4. I don't even have enough tanks to keep a rotation going LOL. I am still running an eGo twist and my SID which I picked up a spare battery for today also. tanks are 2 protanks, an MT3 and an EVOD. All of the flavors have gotten the taste buds screaming for more, but my wife and wallet are screaming for A STOP!! Any suggestions please.

Buy more tanks for rotation. Haven't found a way to stop spending.

Only way to stop the spending is by utilizing "self control"

But seriously, I know its hard to resist. Try finding one flavor that you're happy with vaping all day. From experience there are 2 kinds of vapers.

The first kind buy a large assortment of juices (usually from online stores) and almost never finish them. They just go for the variety of the flavors and enjoy testing new ones. This group is the most pricey.

The second kind of vaper finds a flavor or type of flavor he/she likes, and buys a bottle or two at a time and then doesn't buy more until they're out of juice. This saves you tons of money.

Of course, you gotta decide what you're in the hobby for I guess. I've found my niche of juices I like so its easy for me to find all day vapes.

In the end its all up to you!

That's what i'm worried about. I haven't bought anything yet, but worried I'll go crazy lol.

Eventually you will find a handful of juices you love. You will figure out how many milliliters you vape on average each week. You will order from your "I love this!" collection appropriately. Until then, keep sampling! You'll find a few all day vapes and a few "great to mix it up with" juices. Don't worry about it.

The upside- still much cheaper than the equivalent amount cigarettes

You havent even scratched the surface yet. Betyter get a raise or a second job.

So far, my favorite is still my cinnamon/mint/menthol blend from the B&M. The sampling is great, but its going to take some serious self control to chill for a couple of weeks. Main goal now is trying out some coil builds. I want to experiment with wicks, SS, kanthal/ribbon. Still, going to have to chill for a bit LOL

$200 this week after buying juices and of course, my new SID

I recommend making a plan for your purchases, especially if you're new. Separate what you need, from what you want, and check off a "want" item once a week (or however often works for you)

The cost of a starter kit is easily recouped within days. E-liquids should be sampled first; there's no sense in buying 30 or 100 mL of something you've never tasted. Then you can vape through your juice collection, for quite some time.

You might also want to try different nic levels, throughout the day, so you need more tanks to do that.

If you jump into vaping, with both feet (i.e. get a kit plus all the accessories you could possibly ever need) you can easily spend $200.

Keep in mind maintenance/replacement costs too:
- An eGo batt is designed to be recharged 300 times; it doesn't hold the same charge after that, until it just dies on you.
- All tanks need regular cleaning
- Some tanks have replaceable atomizers, which you have to buy (unless you want to try your hand at rebuilding them, but you still need supplies to do that)
- Cheaper tanks are disposable (!)

Unless a pack of analogs costs $2-3 in your area, you'll save money.

If you go crazy your going to be upside down quick. I use my Vapemate app to keep things in perspective.

 

[JayTater]

Vapemate? There's an app for that?!?!?!

Just installed Vape. I'm still in the hole by $115, but showing a $5000+ savings at the one year mark

 

[Tvan]

Vapemate? There's an app for that?!?!?!

Yes. It keeps track of how much $$$ you saved on smoking vs spent on vaping. For example, I have spent over $270 on vaping in total but am only $67 in the red.

 

[Deathinflames]

Cool! Thanks for the app suggestion, that will really help a lot. I need something to tell me that the $330 in just this month alone was worth it lol.

Unless you were averaging at least $11 a day on cigarettes it's most likely going to tell you that you need to get your spending in check. lol

 

[JayTater]

That initial hit to the bank account hurts until you settle into the equipment you like. I found that out pretty quick! Now its just rolling on the savings train, but still blowing smoke in the form of vape clouds!

 

[reverbaddict]

I am also just getting started with vaping and have spent a great deal. But I think I have made a couple of lucky choices. ego-c protank and thevaporroom ejuice trail packs

 

[e30ernest]

I think I'm in the middle of the curve where I'm starting to spend on more advanced equipment. For over a year I've been happily vaping along on my eGos. Now I've started entering VV/VW mods with a new eVic and a Vision ET atty. So far I am happy with this combo, but I suspect I'll be getting at least one mech mod soon.

In my country, vaping is more expensive than smoking analogs. A pack here usually costs less than $1. Add equipment and e-juice costs together and there is a huge difference in spending. I'm really just sticking with vaping to stay healthier, and not for savings.

Is this local made brands or US Tobacco brands? If it is US Tobacco brands we may have to talk about you shipping me a few cases for resale. That way I could support my vaping habit. Kidding.

although the start up cost have been high it should be much cheaper once i am just buying juice and heads... either way much healthier.
