[KjAthena]

my quitometeR says I have saved[h=5]187.20 Dollars by NOT smoking 948 cigarettes![/h]and checking my accounts that is within 87 cents of what I spent on gear and Juices.....at least for now.

I still want
a vv spinner battery,
another protank
a passtru
itaste 134
and 29 bottles of juice

That just means you're not doing it right

 

[RBBR]

Congratulations! Seriously, I'm kind of jealous. At this rate I won't break even until 2017.

 

[gmb225]

all i want is an rm2 for my reo grand and im set. dont need anything else except some 27g kanthal to go with it.

 

[Coastal Cowboy]

What Cavediver said.

You're doing it wrong.

 

[KjAthena]

and ....what would doing it right be guys ?

 

[Cavediver]

I've spent waaayyyy more on vaping than I used to spend on analogs. Then again, I've bought a ton of DIY e-juice supplies (enough for the next year or so) and whatnot. I think I've spent more on DIY supplies than I have on hardware. Then again, I'm about to plunk down a bunch of money for a good charger, three flavors of batteries, and a bunch of components for building mods.

Sigh. I wish I could treat this as something other than another expensive hobby. I just can't.

Kidding aside, congrats to you. It sounds like you're doing well with it and will soon enjoy the savings over analogs. Restraint is a good thing; I just wish I had some.

 

[KjAthena]

well since I have developed a taste for "boutique vapes" I cant see myself getting into DIY juices anytime soon...but I have gotten very good at stalking portals until they open

 

[ScandaLeX]

and ....what would doing it right be guys ?

My quit-o-meter says I've saved $289. but I've spent $600+ and have officially been vaping 1 month......THAT'S doing it right!

Seriously though....CONGRATS to you!!!

I might have broke even if I weren't on this forum. ECF is the devil!!.....

Honestly though, some people can be content for years with the simple things in life. I, OTOH have to expand my horizons.
I like buying shiny stuff and I like having variety of choice. With that said, I may as well face my reality...I'll never break even.

 

[ElConquistador]

It's like printing money. As long as you stay away from ECF. Someone is always posting something shiny.

 

[KjAthena]

yes I can understand that "my inner brat" wants the shiny "sonic screwdriver" because someone posted it..LOL but I think I must take it slow and only spend the amount I save by not smoking and I think I can manage that fast tech has most of the hardware cheaply, and I can buy just a bottle or two of juice at a time so at least I stand a chance

 

[peterforpats]

"break even"- what is this phrase I see every now and the on this forum? does it have anything to do with making your coil wires even? there is so much more for me to learn about vaping.........

HAH! My meter only reads Zero because negative numbers are not allowed by the generator...

 

[Joeyjoe]

Oh I was way ahead---- until I innocently decided to see what's up on the ecf forum, that led to youtube reviews, which led to checking out product reviews on a particularly popular vendor, filling my cart pulling the trigger...then before the first shipment even arrived placing an even larger order!! Good news is I have no "good" reason to be ordering any more hardware for a few years..but we know how that goes!

 

[soba1]

Do it like ya wanna man just vape your brains out and don't smoke one day at a time.
That's the only right way.....
Now to start some poop just buy a.........naaaaah lmao
Happy Friday ya'll

The savings have added up for me over time. If I had been smoking my favorite brand during the 663 days that I have been smoke free I would have spent at least $5,479.75. That is just what I would have spent on myself. Add in what we would have spent on hubby's and we are talking about a number that makes me ill just thinking about it.

Hubby still smokes along with vaping but he has cut down to about 10 a day. Down from 2 1/2-3 packs a day.

We have spent about $2,500.00 since we started on this journey. I could, if necessary, not spend another penny on vape gear and supplies for several years. I mix our juice and have a huge supply of ingredients to do so. I don't build my own coils but could if it became necessary. We didn't get into this for the hobby aspects but it sure is fun.

My advice......Do whatever it takes to leave the smokes behind. Your health is worth whatever the price.
Just my

 

[skoony]

since july 24th when i quit analogs i've spent between 200 to 300 dollars on gear.
thats 43 days.
having smoked 2 packs a day at about 7.50 a pack =15.00 dollars a day x 43=$645.
living in taxasota ecig gear could be gold plated and i'd still come out ahead.

Just thinking, you could get a blank carto for $0.87 and be 100% even! I hate to carry balances. Just sayin'...

Congrats!

What the hell does good reason have to do with it?!?!?
It's new...
It's shiny...
It produces GiNormus Clouds of Beautiful vapor, that hammers your throat, tastes like ambrosia, and Nic's your fix!

What else is there?!?

ROFLMAO!
