Yes i had the same question in the beginning, maybe i still have it since I keep spending on new juices and trying new cartos. I think I have spent $300 in two weeks thats already more than what i ususally spend for ciggies in a month.

But like everyone else says, the spending will decrease and I can see that happening.... still working on it!! But even if it doesnt, i feel great not smoking ciggies!!

buy soft-cap cartos, don't burn them dry and you should get a number of refills from each. Some people can use a carto for a week.

or you could use the carts, when the white stuffing gets cranky replace it with blue foam (you can get cheap 51o precut pieces at strictlyejuice but I don't recommend you buy their juices - I wasn't thrilled with any juices I got there though some say the Kona Coffees are good). Blue foam cart stuffing is easier for carts - one piece, easy to wash and pat dry if needed, etc.

So pretty worried now that Im gonna have to put some serious dough into stocking up on new atomizers and batteries or forget this electric cigamajiggy thing all together... blah.

Ok, Im new to this too, and have felt the same way....wondering if it really is less expensive. It is trial and error and learning for us newbies. So, for the price of a pack of smokes or so, you can pick up empty refillable cartomizers in a pack of 5, and for about the same price you can get your juice (though I HIGHLY recommend having extra on hand...just in case) and fill one or two of them and vape for a good while, just make sure you keep them wet(attys too...burnt metal taste lets you know its time to refill), and as long as you do that for the most part they should last a while. I am starting my second week analog free, and my first LR atty died on me within a couple of days of use. It happens. but my cartos and my other two attys are doing just fine. Just figure out what you Would spend on smokes...and use that as your budget. instead of a pack of smokes, but a pack of attys or cartos. Next time...pick up an extra bottle of juice or two. You will get the hang of it, and it will get MUCH cheaper!! Best of luck to you,and welcome!

and if you use carts...look up pyramid tea bag mod. I took out the filling and use that. 4 bucks and you get 40 cart fillers that last about a month each or more!
