Both my wife and I smoked and thats reflected in my signature, and cigs rounding out to be 15 bucks a pack. A good conservative guess would be $1500 and I got a lot of gear I bought just cause I can, doubles and backups for my backups. I'm still buying for the same just cause reason. All my wife now does is roll her eyes at my vape buys knowing that I don't need anything but want it.
I found my vape plateau many months ago but still chasing the dragon looking for a better vape.
BTW... Coops rock since that is how I've acquired 98% of my gear so I have spent less to get more is you want to see it that way. :)

More than my wife thinks ;)
Well, you must do "the books" in your house. I'm not allowed to touch money ever since I added an extra zero to a check that "one" time back in '97. :(

But honestly; it's hard to put a price on the way we feel/breath these days (at least me). Plus, no more burn holes in our clothing and upholstery. And that smell is gone too. That's all got to be worth something.

'' 33 days and I'm clicking just over 1000!! But that does include some nice gear.. 3 provaris, a itaste svd, 10 different aw batteries, a few randoms, i4 charger, 3 Ibtanked setups, kayfun, russian 91, and lots of juice! ''


I love Ibtanked, nice setup for only 33 days. What is you next step ?

Spent around 500 since July. I think I am ahead about 70 bucks but I feel the need to buy buy buy! I think I will make a list and add her up.

Actually, I only need another vv/vw mod, some wire and wick and I should be done for awhile. Have lots of juice and 40+ coils in stock. Was all set to pull the trigger on an SVD last night but reading a few threads on here spooked me.

Was thinking about a Provari to help get my snob on :)

The svd was my first real mod, and have never had a problem with it. It the mod when someone starts asking about vaping when I'm at the lake or race track I hand it to them and say try it out for the day.

    The best vape I have found so far is a Provari and a Ehpro KF lite+V2, Ive got a Taifun GT on the way to try as well.

    50 dollars in cotton might only last 20 years, sure you have enough?

    Four years on vaping. For now I don't buy any new piece of hardware and DIY my e-liquid. So my day by day supply costs around $1.50. $1/day - EMDCC cartos and DCT tank replacements, $0.50/day - e-liquid. Plus buying new batteries from time to time, I use eGo Twists and Vision Spinners plus eVic. So in average, I guess, it's below $100/month. Well, it was more at the first year of vaping.
