I was just thinking about how much money I am saving (not including saving my health) by vaping instead of smoking.

I am a 2-pack per day full-strength cigarette smoker, and have been for more years than I want to remember. I am now going to try and stop smoking by replacing my cigarette habit with 24mg nicotine juice.

Here are the figures ... The cigarette prices I show below are for generic cigarettes purchased by the carton here in Florida:
_________________________________________

Smoking 2 packs per day x 30 days per month = 60 packs per month = (6) cartons x $33 per carton = $198 monthly


vaping 4ml juice per day x 30 days per month = 120ml per month = (4) 30ml bottles of juice x $10 per bottle = $ 40 monthly

So, the cigarettes were costing me about 5 times the price of vaping juice.

Great savings! :)

Apart from the initial cost (which pays for itself quick), and the occasional tank / coil / replacement parts I'd say you're pretty much in the clear. Also shipping if you order online. Still, alot saved.

Between my GF and I, we spent $160 / month before. Now that I have proof of concept, she's getting one too :) We're gunna save up and buy a lambo (classic smoker joke).

Im doing the opposite, vaping is making me spend so much more money

I used to smoke 10 cigarettes a day so that would be $49.50
$40 a month for 4ml of juice daily.

Misc stuff:
4 Kayfun tanks ($480)
1 Nemesis + 1 Turtle ship + 1 Chi You ($600)
400+ ml of juice from different companies ($300)
Wire + Ekowool ($50+)
4 Kayfun clear tanks ($80)
6 drip tips ($120)
4 18490 batteries ($40)
4 18650 ($40)
etc, etc, etc

Im sure i spent a lot more but with a rough total of $1710 I spent on vaping in 5 months i could have smoked 10 cigarettes a day for 3 years.

I can tell you where it was cheap to smoke ... I moved to Florida from the Philippines 2 years ago. 2 years ago in the Philippines I could buy a carton of Camels for $7. Marlboros cost $8. These were made in the Philippines under license and tasted exactly like the US made ones.

Local Filipino cigs costs about $3 per carton ... that was just 2 years ago. I can't imagine it has gone up that much in the last 2 years.

I have found out another way to really save money on juice ... Buy in large quantities.

Case in point ... a 30ml bottle of juice from Mount Baker will cost you exactly $9.74 shipped to the door (in the US) if you use discount code ECF when ordering. That works out to be 32 cents per ml.

Once you decide on a flavor you basically want to use all the time, you can order a 236 ml bottle from Mount Baker for $41.99 to the door using discount code ECF when ordering. That works out to only 18 cents per ml (BIG SAVINGS)

Hey Vette, Check out nicoticket, Zeus juices, fuzion vapor, these are all top quality places that have the best service and the best juices. And they are all under $0.50 per ml. I won't pay over fifty cents and I'm not missing out on anything. These are undoubtedly some of the best juices and for the most part do not require any steeping. You can get lower priced stuff but hour most likely going to have to let most steep for at least a week.

Since you used MBV as an example, you should really consider going Here to order your liquid. You get 16oz (475ml) for 40.99 for 24mg Nic. It's cheaper if you use less Nic in your juice.

If you really want to save money try vaping unflavored liquid. Costs around 5 cents per ml and it actually tastes quite good, IMO. I prefer unflavored to about 80% of the flavors I've tried. Not only that but your coils will last a really long time with unflavored - 2 or 3 times longer depending on if your regular juice is a gunker or not.

Can I use my existing MBV account from its retail site to order from MBV wholesale? Or do I have to create a separate account? :confused:
