Saved $500 And Ignored 2k Analogs!

[Willriker]

By the end of today, after costs of hardware/juice i have saved 500 USD and passed up 2000 analogs!

I wanted to thank everyone at the ECF for helping me ro reach this milestone! Seriously, all of you have served as a great support group, and helped me to save a large amount of cash for Christmas at the same time!

Congratulations! But I would really like to know how you managed to save any money the first couple of months vaping. I have done nothing but spend money.

hehe, i took the majority of the advice on the forums, got a joye ego and just kind of stuck with it. At first, it did take some willpower to not spend more than i would normally spend on analogs. But, i managed to do it.

honestly, im on more of a kick of how long my supplies are lasting than a kick of buying new toys.

Congratulations. I overspent like a crazy woman my first few months of vaping. Once I settled down and the 'newness' wore off, I started saving money.

I am in the money ahead column too. Feels good, doesn't it?

But the best thing is - We Are Smoke Free !!

That's great. I'm saving money now, but it certainly didn't start out that way. I admire your discipline.

Congrats Willriker!! We started our journey almost at the same time - Wish I could say I saved all that ton of coin, but this devious invention called e-juice has sucked in most of those cost saving

 

[Willriker]

Hehe, well to be fair, after looking at your signature, it looks like the cigarettes where i am cost more per pack than yours do. So far ive spent 320 total.

Congrats on giving up the analogs and saving money !!! Its true that the different cost of our analogs sure does make a difference in how much money can be saved quickly along with how much we choose to spend on our new toys.

My 2 pack a day habit of analogs bought at the Indian Reservation was pretty cheap compared with what a lot of people have to spend on analogs. I've still got a couple months of vaping before I'll break even but then while I did find my likes in vaping pretty easily and could have spent much much less then I have I also chose to build a stash to be certain that no matter what the future of vaping held I'd never feel the need to go back to analogs before I had a real chance of becoming nic free and eventually giving up vaping. Now that I've got a nice stash accomplished I look forward to saving money in the future.

Wow that is Awesome Way to go, keep up the Good work. Given my nature I haven't save much (like Grandmato5). But I have a few different devices and am having lots of Fun trying all the stuff available.

I started in the hole too, but 13 months down the road I'm over $2,000 to the good.

I've been using the spreadsheet that was posted here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/127457-simple-e-cig-break-even-calculator.html#post2305196
keeps track of what I'm actually spending vs. saving.

What's amazing is the total of spent on cigs
VP + savings = cost of analogs. And I was spending how much!!

My costs now is mostly juice, and if I could cut that down to less that 2 dozen flavors
the savings would be pouring in.....
