Saving money

[Rivas]

vaping compared to smoking cigarettes or hookah specially cigarettes can be EXTREMELY cheap......
indeed in my case I spent tons of money to create my own mod... but - by using e-juice I mix- at the end in just 2 years or even less vaping would save me an equivalent amount of cash... then I will just to continue saving.

I wish I knew about vaping back then when I started smoking hookah... I lost so much.
and it's way healthier

Congrats on making the switch! Yes, making your own juice is ridiculously cheap. One of the best decisions I've made in vapeing.
Just don't get GAS, and you'll be just fine

what's GAS?....... I stay away from oil-based flavors, but what the hell is this GAS I should also stay away from?

Gear acquisition syndrome.
Also know as "Shinyitis".

I think everyone aquires SHINYITIS..... It's hard to get rid of too!

Hookah is so freaking expensive. I spent over a thousand dollars in a year on hookah, easily. And I was smoking cigs on top of that. Vaping has been, over all, much less costly.

I've saved so much money vaping. I spend 40 bucks a month on juice, and probably 50 on gear every few months. That not even a carton of cigs and u was smoking a pack and a half in Jan when I quit so it's a big difference.

Not everyone.

I've bought 2 mods in the past 2 years. Total cost for both was less than $140.

I DIY my own juice. Spent slightly over $150 and got enough to make a little over 9,500ml. That's close to a 3 year supply for both me and my wife.

My wife has bought only one mod in the past 2 years, to replace her original one that broke after nearly 2 years of use. Her mod cost $45.

I've bought a total of 5 tanks in the past 2 years. Total cost was about $200, including rebuilding supplies.


So, for both me and my wife we've spent a grand total of about $490 in 2 years on vaping. Unless something breaks we won't spend more than $30 for the next year or more, and that will simply be replacement coils for some of our tanks. That still works out to only $520 for 3 years worth of vaping. That's about what we spent in 2 and a half months of smoking.

aha..... I don't think I would get this kind of addiction cause I am a 3rd world ghetto

When I first got started, I spent a lot upgrading monthly (sometimes weekly ). I had a lot of vapemail coming in every week. Needed bigger/better tanks. Then bigger batteries, etc. It was a vicious cycle. Finally hit a nice plateau about 6-7 months in and I only spend a little on an upgrade or two every few months. My signature shows how much I would have spent on cigarettes. I'm a little over $1000 under that on what I've spent on vaping in the same period. My savings keeps getting bigger because I finally found that spot where my equipment delivers what I need and I really don't get distracted by GAS now, although I do keep up with new advancements and sometimes *think* I need something. Til I realize I don't.

Honestly? I have easily spent more on vaping gear and accessories than I have on cigarettes. I hope to plateau soon

Yep I bought a new mod a while back. A Sigeli Zmax. new for $10 and I got 8 18500 batteries for it for under 1$ each. I DIY ALL of my juice. I use Kanger T3's, Evods and Protank 2 minis. I rewick (cotton) and recoil all my coils. They are much better coils than stock Kanger coils.
When I quit smoking in January I was doing at least 4 cartons of cigs a month at 34$ each. I now spend 30$ or less each month and am building my inventory up as I go.

I also have a couple of Itaste VV3's that I paid 9.99 each for and several 650 mah VV evod style batteries that I got for from $3 - $6 each.
My T3's I got for a bit under $3 each. My genuine Evods I got for 1.50 each.

yes vaping CAN be really cheap.

I will likely get an Evic VTC mini before the end of the year and some RTA. Along with a few good 18650 batteries.

I have enough wick, wire, batteries, tanks, flavoring, cotton, etc to last me for another year or so. Will need to get some more PG and VG though.

I cured mine by watching a growing layer of dust form on most of my shinies.
