spending habits

[dnrtn2342]

How much did you spend in first 3 weeks including everything, liquids, attys,tanks,batts, the whole nine yards. I think im close to 200 lol but I've gotten a vivi nova, 8 306 lr attys, 2 batts, 9 stardusts, syringes, and about 100 ml of liquid. I've also been bed ridden for 2 days for most part im bored

Mmm... I hate to think about it. I could have bought a nice Galaxy Tablet for what I spent lol But really you cant put a price on better health, which I feel Ive got. So no complaints there.

Its so addicting trying new hardware and liquids. Every week it seems Im ordering something. I hope you get to feeling better and outta bed soon!

The first 3 weeks was over 200.00. Then another 100.00 or so. This was for my wife and me both though.

I am finally set up for a little bit. I am now making my own juice and I have 3 Vivi Nova tanks to rotate my flavors.

If I get anything else it may just be a carto or 2 for the wife.

 

[Baptyzmbyf1re]

I'm in about 125 so far in just under 2 weeks. That includes a setup for me and my wife, a small selection of juices and an extra battery. I think we will start to be at a break even point sometime at the end of our first month. Its all gravy from there

 

[dnrtn2342]

According to my calcs I've saved about 80 in analogs not to mention air freshners/lighters/etc ill get their eventually, as soon as the "im a newbie I wanna buy and try EVERYTHING" wears off lol

Silver bullet/Kick, Provari, Reo Grand, Orion V2.1, Precise + 18650, Precise +18500, DID, Odysseus, Penelope..numerous batteries, tons of juice, lots of attys/cartos/tanks... I'm afraid to add it all up, I think I'd be in shock!

I'm done for a bit now though, unless I can get my hands on a Zenesis Standard (I'll keep dreaming).

I've had a great time doing it though, and really enjoy this hobby. Most of all, I'm just happy to be free of cigarettes

I'm only about a month and a half into vaping, but I started out with just an inexpensive kit (two leo batts, a couple cartos and an atty), and 45ml of juice ($80). I went almost three weeks with just that stuff before buying about 90ml of juice, more cartos, a clearo, another atty and a 510 dct carto & adapter with some replacements. That's where I'm at, and I'm now in about $160 total. My next batch of stuff will include juice (of course), a vivi nova, maybe an LR 306, and another battery. I kinda want to go VV, but haven't decided on which route to go: ego twist or something like a lavatube. I wish the roughstack were VV, since it is appealing to me.

I figure in the long term I'll be spending a bit more than smoking RYO cigarettes ($40/mo), maybe $50/month... though with so many goodies to try, it might be tricky to stay on that budget When I smoked american spirits, I was spending more like $100/month.

I'd bet if I want to get really economical, I could get to $20/month if I can learn how to rebuild coils and buy PG/VG, nic and flavoring in bulk, though that's down the road, since I'm still on the learning curve just vaping, so DIY will have to wait.

I bought the vivi nova tonight, trust me well worth it, I talked the vendor down 35% because im in there every other day and gotten them alot of business in last two weeks ( im very persuasive, with a big mouth on large base , I also just completed an order I found in classifieds for 5 LR 306 attys for 22 shipped. Amazing deal I've yet to find em for less than 8 apiece. So although im seeing a hit right now its also alot of backups

 

[V8inDamma]

Let's just say I'm a couple weeks from my 6 month mark. I haven't saved a penny. But it sure is fun most of mine has been on juice and cartos and different tanks.I still haven't found a good tobacco menthol. I like it sweet and strong menthol.I need to save for a good vv like a provari or gg. So good luck and get well soon.

First 2 weeks? I traded a ~$50 lariat for a rough stack, a battery, an atty, a hand carved wooden drip tip, and ~45 or so ml of juice. Other than better juice and a few attys, I didn't buy any more equipment or supplies for nearly 10 months. Then, I got more serious about reading ECF.... I've spent considerably more money since I started reading the forums.

 

[zipthehuh]

I spent about 100 in the fist 2 weeks purchasing a Smokeless image starter and supplies. I try to keep supplies (juice, carto's atty's and so on) at ~100 a month since that is half of what I spent smoking. but, these number don't include the Provari I just bought, however I will be back to saving money after 3 months of using it, so it's not so bad.

 

[grandmato5]

Its hard to remember that far back but I spent about 150 in my first two weeks. I finally broke even at about 18 months and now am finally enjoying some savings. No regrets, every penny has been worth it.

 

[thinkingaboutit]

Around $200, I have a thread on here about it. Well worth it.

 

[CommaHolly]

about 150.00 bucks so far,,,,,,but that's for two of us, and it's no more than we would have spent smoking. I'm set to buy a few more juices this week, so probably the total will run 175.00 or 180.00 and I'll be set for several weeks,,,,,,,,

 

[Fezzed]

A little embarrassing but I've actually got a spreadsheet! Started Vaping about five weeks ago and I'm up to $275.98. Bought a Volt starter kit for me and my wife, extra batteries, had to try all the famous eliquids, bought a bunch of those little brass adapters for some reason... haven't saved a cent but my wife and I stopped smoking and we're having a great time, so I feel I've come out ahead so far!

 

[dgm76513]

Bout $500

$240 of that was an Empire.

 

[spaceballsrules]

Take the $$ amount from my sig banner and double it. That's how much I have spent on vaping supplies to date. I spent about $200 in the first few weeks.

Lightweights, all.

I've spent a small fortune, but also because I spread the wealth in trying to get family and friends to switch as well. I count it as money well spent, regardless of their outcomes.

However, with a fine sale staring me in the face, for the first time today I emptied my cart by deleting all the items instead of going through checkout. I just didn't need - or want - anything available, even though it was a sale. I have hoarded a bunch of reward points, so when a few new items come out in the next month, I'll make my own sale. It is a nice feeling, though, to know I was able to pass up a sale when I haven't in the past. I think I'm happy and satisfied with my current vaping status and supplies. Finally. I figure I'll break even in about another 8 months, if I don't go over the edge again.

 

[genelman]

I have not saved a penny by vaping and I wasn't expecting to, but the health benefits are priceless, I spent around $400 and I do not regret it.
