Been there, done that. I've settled on GG and Genesis rebuildables. Started selling off things like my provari. I'll probably put a bunch of unused attys up for sale soon too.

Hahaha... I'm one day away from my vapeaversary and I've sold off most of my GG stuff. I'm using three eVics and a zmax primarily with vivi Novas and AGA-Ts.

It never ends...

I have more than doubled my spending in the last 4 months as compared to smoking.... BUT, I have built up a stash of juice that will last maybe a year or more, I have all the devices I need for a year or more (the Provari and Cobra will last hopefully years), I have enough rebuildable materials to last a year or more, and now I can sit back and watch the savings accumulate for the next year or more!

When it comes time to replenish juice and wick/wire, it won't cost very much as those are the cheapest inputs.I may get into DIY at that point too, and it will be even cheaper.

I started with a Redds kit, Twists, and then Provari and have a Sigelei Zmax coming soon. I use all of the devices still so I am happy with the way I purchased. I would recommend buying small at first, but then go big once you know you are going to stick with vaping ( say after a month or once you have the funds). Buying every next step up will cost you and there is likely little difference between the steps.

I thought I was totally done buying PV's when I got the Provari, plus a backup Provari. LOL! WRONG! I had to try out variable wattage, of course, and it had to be the biggest and baddest and prettiest. So I got the purple BAM with the Kick and 26500 battery. It is absolutely amazing and I love it more than my Provaris. I never thought I'd like something better than my Provari but now I do. However, it's too big to take to work so I use it the whole time I'm at home always. :) I hope I'm done spending now. ha!

I am erasing your post from my memory... never read it, don't know what a Bam or Kick is... not going to get another upgrade... I'm happy with what I have..........I am good for a year or more... why did you have to do that?:laugh:

Expecting Vape mail is a high in itself. Now I'm addicted to drip tips. Of course I had to get a beautiful one to go with the purple BAM. OMG! And now they are coming out with charms. NO! I have to stop! I can't continue to do this! Lol! But then again, you really should have a charm to match your fancy drip tip, right?

I guess we all have our own vices, vaping we all here have in common.
DIY is my shine. :)

I'd say go big at first if possible, so one sticks with vaping. Mickey-Mouse gear can be a make/break point, esp. when continually burdened with 4-hour battery & juice futz-arounds. Spending upward of $ 100 is in part a commitment that one also sticks with it to get one's money's worth out of it.

I started vaping 4 years ago with a ego starter kit and just 0 nic menthol flavored cartos. Went back to analogs after a couple of months. I just got back into vaping again now and ordered a VAMO, a few 18mg juices, Kanger T4's and some VIVI Novas. Havent had an analog all year yet :D - Sure works better then last time..
I'm glad I went with the big guns now instead of just ordering some small starter kit..

Wow, yea, you definitely need to have a decent amount of nic when you first start vaping and trying to quit smoking. I actually had withdrawals the first couple of days but I loved the flavors and vaping concept so much, that I was able to vape alot and get through it okay. I smoked 1 to 1 1/2 packs a day of Ultra Lights and started at 16 mg nic vaping, which wasn't quite enough. If I had started at zero nic. I probably wouldn't have continued vaping.
