Survey, how much have you spent since day 1?

[lovemytank]

Thinking it would be interesting for me to take a mean/average and post results after 6 months. You reply and I will post anew in 6 months. Thanks.

PS. just a guesstimate, juice will be hard but just try to be kinda somewhat realistic with all vaping expenditures please.

 

[Completely Average]

Less than $1,000 over the course of 2 years.

If you remove the $500 worth of stuff I just bought as my birthday present from my mom, which she paid for rather than me, then I've spent less than $500 over the course of 2 years.

And that's for both me and my wife combined.

Do we count it if we bought something, but sold it and bought something new with the money from sold items? I sell a lot of my older stuff I don't use to buy newer stuff.

I'd say in tanks and such I have about $800 worth of mods/tanks/rda's.
I have 6 batteries I use in my mods and I vape unflavored 99% of the time, so I have some nicotine, pg, and vg here. I have maybe $40 worth of actual "premium" juice around here.

 

[herb]

I would say $250.00 - $300.00 total since i started two years ago.

 

[issy]

Probably about $350 in a little over a year. I set myself up for DIY with that, too.

Its hard to say.

In addition to being fun I really believe in vaping to quit smoking. Nothing against BT as nobody held a gun to my head.

To that end I buy alot of gear and give it away.

So in terms of cash I guess I'm in the red.

But with the karma bank I'm way in the black.

I've been very fortunate. Sharing it makes me happy.

I guess I'm kinda the Jehovah Witness of vaping. But I don't go door to door or anything.

And I get to play with new gear all the time.

 

[KTMRider]

$2400 in the last 12 months. I was vaping cig-a-likes for 2 yrs before that and probably spend a few hundred on those.

 

[DanJiblets]

Probably about $1000 in the last year. $500 of that in the last 2 months lol.

 

[wheelie]

I would say $2500 to $3500 over the two years. Give a lot away to kids. Wife has been vaping for two years and never even spent a nickel on anything.

 

[Thrasher]

Geez, I been vaping 4 years, there was a period where nothing good was cheap or cloned and I was burning 300-500 a month easy, at the peak of my shinyitis 1000 bucks in a few weeks was nothing.

sold about 90% of my collection late last year but my rule was- up to what I would spend on smokes and being a 2 PAD smoker + diy juice that gave me lots of room lol

 

[jbok]

Im in at about $1400, but like some of the others i have sold a lot of my old gear as well.

 

[KTMRider]

I have a running spreadsheet so I'm pretty close to actual cost for the last year. I sold one mod for $50 and have a SX Mini M for sale currently in the classifieds.

 

[suprtrkr]

Just a guess, about $1500 over a year and a half. Call it $500/6 months, since that's your time period. Another way to look at it is about 35% of what I would have spend on smokes in the same time period. Sometimes I manage to go a whole week without shinyitis. Other times... well...

 

[Boden]

In the past 5 years... about $1,000US

 

[r77r7r]

About $600 in 4.5yrs. Eliquid, toppers, PV's, and accessories included.

 

[VictorViper]

$660 since getting back on the vape full time (early May). I've got a 6 week supply of my ADV right now, so minimal costs to worry about for a while.

Costs included:

1x mech mod
3x RDA
New toolkit
Approx. 1yr of wick and wire
3x 18650, 2x 18500, 1x 18350

If I take my Manhattan clone (busted day 3) and various nasty juices I've brought home, it's closer to $500. More troublesome was having to retire my Sioux, Cyclone and Immortalizer.

 

[WillyZee]

In the last 20 months I've spent $3,500 on vaping ... however, I have 17 setups and enough DIY to make 15,000ml of eLiquid.

I also have extras of everything to make sure regulations will not affect how I vape.

I would have spent $4,800 on smoking and still feel like crap

vape for the win

 

[ppeeble]

approx $8.00
Give or take the odd $3000.

Between $400 and $500. Maybe a bit more since I started around a year ago. It's only a rough guess, though.
