I've seen quite a few signature banners here at ECF over the past 6 months and have used a few different ones in that time. I still have yet to find one that would accurately calculate my savings or non-savings, as the case may very well be! LOL

What I am looking for is a banner creator that allows me to input: 1) my first day being "smoke-free"; 2) # of cigarettes smoked per day; 3) cigarette price per pkg; 4) total $ spent on vaping (all inclusive; starter kits, carts, batts, mods, eliquid, etc.)

What I want my banner to say is: I've been smoke-free for XXXX (years/months/days), have avoided smoking XXXX (number of) cigarettes and have saved a total of $XXXX!!!

There have been a couple of banner creators that I have seen that allow you to imput the cost of your starter kit and the cost per cartridge but I don't find that to be an accurate reflection because the cost can vary per order and does not include the cost of juice or other supplies you may have bought. It would be much simpler to just input the total amounth spent on vaping -- this way, the banner can be updated with each order placed and would give a more accurate account of money saved (or not, lol).

Does anyone know if such a banner creator exists OR know how to create that type of banner creator code?

click on mine if you like it. Very easy to set up.Good luck!

That is the banner that I started with. It's simple enough, however, it does not take into consideration how much has been spent on vaping....I was looking for something that gave me a total amount saved between smoking versus vaping.

Thanks anyway.

I mostly ignore what I spend on supplies, because it pales in comparison to the total "cost" of cigarettes (monetary and health).

To answer your question though, I don't know of one that provides exactly what you want; it would be nice, though. Most don't work for me because they don't go past 2010 for a quit date.

(chose2live, how are you able to use the Sincemylastcigarette dark backgound? Whenever I try it I get a red "X". Light background works though.)

Hahaha...I don't really want the banner to show how much I've spent on vaping but rather to calculate the difference (between what I would have spent on smokes to-date versus what I have spent on vaping to-date) in order to give me an at-a-glance idea of where I am....does that make sense?

And Randyrtx, I totally agree...the health benefits certainly outweigh the cost. However, I know that I've spent quite a bit on vaping since I began (and zero on cigarettes)...but, I at least have a growing vaping inventory on hand to show for what I've spent as opposed to an old coffee tin full of cigarette butts that used to sit on my back deck, lol.

Remember to delete the old one before you load the new. Theres something you click on the very right hand top corner in the edit section.Thats caught me out a few times as well.

Makes perfect sense cg. I'm sorry,i'm not aware of such a free banner. Have you looked into creating your own one? Theres info on doing that in the forums i think.
