Well... that escalated quickly...

Wife has placed a tidy little somewhat passive-aggressive sticky note on the bottom edge of our home computer that keeps a tally of what I've spent - by month - to date on ecigs. 6 months in, and now I try and wait for every other Friday (payday) to order my goodies. I'm a sucker, an addict and an inveterate tinkerer. But I guess that's why she married me in the first place?

I feel you, 3 + months and havent broken even or gotten ahead on the $ yet.

I'm in the same boat lol My juice addiction is becoming as large as my lip gloss problem...

To help you all feel better, don't forget to calculate the fuel savings for trips to the convenience store to buy cigs, cost of deserts and such that you are skipping by having good flavors to vape and medical expenses from your future surgeries that would surely bankrupt you anyway even if you saved all of your money. I bet a lot of you could calculate in some of your entertainment budget into it as well.

Yeah, I am still at $205 spent on mods batteries but I keep buying juice. I think I found ADV flavors I like with my morning coffees, my afternoon fruit vapes and my evening mix and match with RY4s and sweets but I keep wanting to try others. Ahlusion is my next juice vendor to try, AVE and HHV get the check mark and I have Virgin Vapor after Ahlusion. Went over my $75 budget this month, so far by about $50. That would still be significantly less than I would spend on the stinkies though.

I also had a lip gloss problem a few years ago, I wanted to taste as much as I could.

Ok so I thought when I started vaping that not only would I be saving my life but also saving money.......NOPE this is crazy....I cannot get enough. I keep buying tanks and juices, but :-$ I having a blast. I love vaping<3

So i'm 43 days analog free and never going back.

I have a good friend who introduced me to the Vape world and now he is just a bad influence. My first purchase was a Evod kit and I had that for about 12 days before I became bored and picked up a Zmax V3, RSST and ProTank. Within a week of that I started messing with building coils, steeping and hunting for a hybrid.

I originally thought I would just vape to crave my urges, but now it's a hobby that has no signs of stopping.

Heheheeeee! I know just how you feel, and I can't find enough money to spend on it. So I guess you will be getting your collection of mechs and RBA's soon, eh? Make sure to buy SS mesh and kanthal in bulk, you save a lot that way

I was about a month into it when I got my first mech, not much later I had my first RBA, now I do wicks and coils for fun and look for deals on my next RBA, and whatever cool mech I can afford next. I'll bet you end up with an iTaste 134 by the end of the year!

Hehheheeeeeee!

Haha- way beyond that. My Omega Mech Mod will be here Monday, going to grab an RDA today. I'm currently using a Noble1 Hybrid with #500 SS and Kanthal Ribbon at 1.1 ohm and in my RSST I have a micro-coil with cotton wick

Have spent $120 this month but once again I must say that $75 a month is a reasonable number over the next year. I have spent $230 on Mods and now that I have the MVP 2.0, the original MVP, a Vision Spinner, an eGo-C Twist and a bunch of eGo batteries...I don't see me getting anything else before I get a REO.

I use a 650mAh eGo in the morning and late at night, the Spinner or Twist at work, the MVP for weekends and for home vaping (although I take it to the bar also). I might buy another Spinner in the next few months but it's not necessary.

With the juices I am still experimenting but now that I'm vaping RY4 more than half the time now, the choices get easier. Ordered some Hangsen RY4 and some Mad 4 from Madvapes, and added some iclear 30 heads and a bunch of drip tips. So I'm pretty well-stocked now.

Problem now is that I don't just want to order two bottles of juice and pay for shipping, so I might sit out of juice buying for a bit also. I'll need some more ECBlend fruit juices in November, but that might be my only purchase that month. If so, I'm getting a REO for Christmas.

Went over $1k in cigarette savings today!!!!

Anyone else with updates? opcorn:

 

[Cr0tchF4i]

^ Nice work.

Um my update is this. I spend too much on random vaping items that aren't really necessary and I keep messing with coils for no reason at all. Basically I'm spinning my tires in terms of advancement. I haven't touched my Noble1 Hybrid in about a month and I just keep playing with mech mods and rda's. The dripping is great, but I think I gave myself vapor tongue from flooding the coils.

I just picked up some 3mm eko and 30gauge kanthal (Only used ribbon as of now) and i'm going to make some micro-coils tonight and hopefully get a consistent vape. I went to Vapure instead of ordering online so my total was $50 bucks with a few small bottles of juice.

I do have to say Vapure has the best juice I've ever tried and it is .2 miles from my office. win win.

Right there with you, analog free for a year and a half with help from some cheep prefilled cartridge setup. Two weeks ago to the day I got frustrated when the fifth battery quit on the way to work that I looked up vape shops I could stop in on the way home. That was all it took, if I dont have a pv in my hand its an rba, if Im not working on something I'm thinking about what my next project, and when its time to relax its to a video review if a mod I'm interested in. Vape On

 

[sneakerpimp]

i bought a mod and 2 ego's in my first 5 days

Help! Vaping 6wks and I've got G.A.S. ! I think I've become more of a juice hoarder than anything... I did pick up an Itaste VTR 3 days ago and loving it. I should have never made that search for b&m's near here! 38yr analog smoker. 3 heart attacks 2 major open heart surgeries and I'm finally done with those nasty butts! The wife is happy. I started out with the mall cig-a-like... 2wks later a flea market Evod and now the VTR. UMPTEEN bottles of juice most of it crap til I found the B&M 3 days ago. Been back everyday since. They mix their own and it's goooood. Just trying to find an all day flavor. I don't think it's out there. Haven't found a tobacco I like and I don't think I ever will.... Vaping a couple coffee's, a really great Carmel apple. She spent 45 min today trying to mix a straight Carmel.... So yeah I ain't saving any money!

from about week 3 (coincidently when I found this forum) until about week 8, this was out of control. Once you have a bunch of stuff and backup to the stuff, it's all about the juice. Good luck to you, and congrats on quitting the analogs!
