Since taking up this new hobby...

[jedisilversun]

A few days ago lol. I have spent far more than i care to admit (am about to though for my own shock value) but im curious as to how much money people are spending on replacing cigs here?

List of e-cigs and accessories bought over the course of a few days:

Milano and 8 packs of carts (though the cig was a duff and all this returned) = £50

Supermini kit with car charger, usb charger, Mains charge, 10 carts, case, 2 atomiser, 2 batteries. = £59

10 pack empty carts = £3.50

E-cig juice 14ml = 9.49

25 variety carts for the supermini = £15.94

Johnson creek variety sample pack = £30.

Mini DSE910 kit with 10 carts and two batteries = £24

Total so far = £141.93 (not including the Milano embargo)

Time it would take me to spend that on smokes = 24 days.

Hi jedi,

spent nearly £240 in just over two weeks, loving it so much i have already allocated a portion of my next pay cheque

time added to your life since quitting analogs = priceless

 

[jedisilversun]

I knew i wasn't alone lol.

 

[jedisilversun]

Out of that £240 how much of that was a mistake, if any?

 

[e-pipeman]

Doesn't sound too costly when you think about the cost of fags. There's a hobby element to this for some of us as well - how can you put a price on that? Watch out - it's easy to spend a lot on this! It's also easy to pull back once you find a device that you like.

I knew i wasn't alone lol.

Oh, you definitely aren't alone!

I guess not expipeman. Its the initial layout that is a bit worrying is all. I feel the hobby thing though. It taken me over!

After reading tons (and thanking the gods that the milano didnt work!) here i went for a supermini for looks and a mini for practical.

Seriously hoping im happy with that hahaha.

 

[womblebat]

Luckily i haven't made any mistakes, but that was with help and advice from this forum, as expipeman says this can definitely be described as a hobby as well, always new things and tastes to try, but hopefully it will settle down, i have my two main e-cigs, the evo and the 901, but that pipe from smokesters is looking tooo good to miss at the moment.........help meeeeeeee 8-o

 

[usehername]

[spyderuk]

That's dedication spyder

Obsession more like 8-o Keeps me off the stinky ones though.

As a roller it's gonna be a while before I break even.

And I want a pipe!

 

[jedisilversun]

Cripes thats a lot. I should stop moaning :S

 

[jedisilversun]

The pipe seems to be popular around here

I've found a good quality device I like, it has a six month warranty on parts except batteries, they have a three month warranty.

I need to buy an atomiser once every six months max and a couple of batteries every three months max.

It's still tempting to buy other hardware to try out though.

 

[jedisilversun]

See and there i was thinking i had a good deal with a months warranty eep.

I had ordered normal strength juice today but after reading several forums worth of threads im slightly worried about over doing the nicotine levels (I smoked silk cut blue which contain 0.3mg Nicotine and 3 mg Tar content).

 

[Kate]

If you think it's too high for you Jedi, you can dilute it with zero nic eliquid, propylene glycol or glycerine. Pg and especially glycerine will dilute the flavour too though.

 

[jedisilversun]

I think the zero nic liquid may be the answer though im not at the point where im happy mixing yet (says when she hasn't even got the liquid through the post yet hahaha).

I was reading the thread about glycerol and not really knowing how it affects the body used in this way. I should know this, im a chemist of sorts and recently studied sugars. There is also a clogging issue? Im going off topic now :S

 

[Kate]

There's a question about everything we inhale, our bodies are designed for fresh air, not glycerine, glycerol, flavourings and nicotine.

I don't mind glycerine after reading a bit about it but it's a personal decision. I'm not sure it clogs, don't know.

What I try to avoid are oils, sugars and colourings.

Sorry, I'm off topic too ... back to spending ...

 

[Seags]

Finding this all very interesting...including the off topic. Me and my wife spent £240 between us getting set up and figure we've done okay as that'll take us well past the month we'd normally spend that in between us. She smoked Mayfairs and I rolled Drum. The Clycol thing does worry us a bit but to be honest we're so chuffed with the positive effects (our sons love us again for one, lol) that we're well willing to risk it. The main draw back has been that now the car doesn't smell of smoke any more it's dawned on us that it smells quite badly of something else...but we can't figure out what it is. Maybe I should check the oil, lol.

I smoked thirty a day for thirty-five years and I was seriously tempted to roll one tonight but avoided it and am so glad I did...the urge passes after a decent nicohit Been smoke free for three weeks now thanks to e-cigs...and counting...

These things are wonderful!
