Although still a newb myself, I feel the need to post this for newb-iers (newer newbies than I).
When I first came here, reading everything was impossible, sorting through was daunting. But one thing I noted was how many people talked about their collections, upgrades, etc. One of my major reasons for switching to vaping was financial- I just could not afford to keep buying up to two packs of regular cigarettes ("analogs") a day. I had read elsewhere that switching to an e-cigarette could save money.
Reading about various high-end upgrades almost scared me off. But I followed some simple advice here, got a no-box Joye 510, some e-liquid and one accessory- a pass through. (The pass through allows me to vape from computer or AC power while my batteries charge.)
Aside from e-liquid nicotine and some atomizers (coming in the future) there's nothing else I need to buy right now.
So, sure, if you have the disposable income, go for it as a hobby. For me, it's a good alternative to other nicotine replacement (patches, gum). And the basics have cost me under 100.00. In my area, that's less than two cartons of cigarettes and I have enough liquid to last me quite a while.
Been vaping for about three weeks, with a couple of slips because my nicotine liquid wasn't strong enough for me. (That's why my banner reflects less time).
So, go for it! It's been well worth it for me.
