This is costing me a fortune!

[68injunhed]

I've been going through the same thing. I'm already jumping in to dyi juice, after less than 2 months.

Hopefully the cash I save doing that will justify one of the VV mods of some sort. I only wish I would have read a little more before I bought my first equipment.

 

[Salt&PePPer]

Lucky girl!

I thought long and hard about going with the Provari but the reviews on the Vmax were good enough I decided to just go with that for now since i already spent so much. I am sure a provari is in my future though maybe for xmas

What about a Darwin?

Personally with just $40 I think I'm going with an eGo Twist.

It will cost you alot at first but once you find cheap juice you like and find deals it will save you money.

 

[doats81]

Congrats. It can be very expensive but it's worth it.

 

[Johny Ringo]

Man I love how inexpensive vaping has become.

I realize you think it's a lot of Money but try popping down $70-$100.00 every 2-3 months or so on crap that wouldn't last and that was how it was at the end of 2009.

Compared to my initial investment it's peanuts.

Started with a mini unit looked like a cigarette.
Bought 2 Cigar style (Looked Like cigars) Lasted 2 weeks a piece $40.00 X2 = $80.00+???
than bought Puresmoker Prodigy units Vs 1 and Vs 2 both garbage $100.00+ each unit $250.00 with batteries charger
than on to nhaler Garbage - $70.00
than finally a GGTS (Golden Greek) the first Ecig to last more than 3 months, it lasted around 9 months and cost $175.00 and no variable voltage but it would hit the 5 V sweet spot with the antiquidated 801 atomizer.

Finally the Provari came along which I bought in April of 2011 and was the only quality ecig in the market. Provari lasted around 15 months
before needing repair. Turned out V1 wasn't designed for LR Clearomizers and the Vivi came with a 1.8Ohm clearomizer. Destroyed
the Provari circuit board.
Cant' forget my backup Ego style that I purchased for $70.00

By the way I'm forgetting about 2 or 3 e-cigs models that remain nameless.

Than we won't talk about how many different types of Atomizers, Cartomizers, Clearomizers to finally standardize on the Vivi Nova
which didn't exist until recently.

Than we won't even go into the juices.

You have so much more choices of quality equipment and Juices these days, so jokingly I will tell you. Stop your whining.!!!
I've been Analog free for 3 years.!!!

I do feel lucky! The vivi nova tanks are just awesome! I do know that they are a very new item too so getting to start pretty much there has got to be a good thing!

 

[Aoi~]

I just started vaping a month ago and I think I'd be pretty good at keeping the costs down if I could just stay off this forum. Every time I come here I find a new toy I have to have. And yet here I am again. Still cheaper than analogs. So far...

Especially the show me your setup thread!! I've only been vaping for a month also, but spent more on e-cig toys in a month than a 6 month supply of analogs. No Regrets!!

Hahah I am well on my way to that! No regrets either I am really enjoying all the gadgets and no more stinkies!

The Darwin just looks too strange for me at this stage though the things I read about it are all good. We will see what new toys are out there come Christmas time. I dont know if I will ever actually pull the trigger on a provari... Had the vmax for a few hours now and not sure how much better it can get.

 

[Srgrounds]

No more toys until the Zen mini.

 

[Kremppie]

I know I have had a lot of packages come to the door, so I decided to log into my bank and check exactly how much...$2319. I had no idea it was that high! I really thought it was closer to $1000. I did buy one mod, and all the other things she would need, but that was less than $250. I guess I better slow down, because I starting spending in early June.

 

[oxygen thief]

I didn't come to vaping to save cash but I will soon enough...just not right now.

 

[Syn007]

lol, welcome to the club. I'm sure many have spent more than they initially planned for. So many nice mods..

Wow! I am not near that yet thank god! I can see it creeping up on me easily though.

I have a theory that most people that vape are gadget people. You get your nicotine fix and get to tinker!

Well it sure adds a whole other level of fun onto the whole thing for me

 

[Flyflap]

I was doing great. Now I'm looking at rebuildable attys. *sigh*

 

[WNCmotard]

I just started yesterday, about 29 hours ago to be exact. I already want more cool stuff, but I'm holding out for a couple of weeks other than juice and cartos.

You'll probably kill me for posting this link.

I always have about 5 tabs open and 3 shopping carts going.

BTW, Labor Day sales are coming up!

There is this- try to win something-

Ringo, as long as it keeps you from smoking analogs your money is well spent.

 

[DancingHeretik]

I thought I would never break even. First, the initial investment. Next, all the pretty colors, lots of sample juices, and plenty of back-ups. Would have broken even at that point if I hadn't started having bad luck with atomizers.

So, for a few months I started experimenting all over again. Spent lots and lots of money. But, I did get through the bad spell and found lots of good stuff.

I did finally break even, no thanks to ECF! If I could afford to spend more, I definitely would!

People always talk about how we can afford to spend because of all we're saving on cigarettes. But, what if we couldn't afford to smoke in the first place? What if we sometimes chose cigarettes over food?

I've been in the black for 2 or 3 months now. I'm just broke enough to have to wait and think before I buy cool looking junk. But, not so broke that I can't buy stuff that would really make a difference, like an occasional new gadget or some DIY stuff so that I can enjoy the flavors I really like.

I should stop visiting ECF. Too much temptation! I keep seeing new gadgets and dream of winning the lottery! Like, have you seen the T-tip drip-tips from Super T? So cool! But, $20 for a drip-tip!
