Bought my last pack of analogs April 4th (40 years on Winstons down to 3/4 PAD.), dipped into the pack same day when my battery died, dipped into it again when my last cart ran out ahead of juice arrival last Thursday. Off to a rough start due to stupidly buying a kiosk Trio instead of coming here, reading up, and starting out rationally.
Right now break-even day is May 16, but before then i'll need more juice, and want more spare 310 attys and bats, and an ultrasonic cleaner since that seems to be a pretty painless way to prolong atty life.
It's tempting to upgrade from the Joye 310, but i think i'll stick it out, and just try to get off nicotine. My thoughts on the whole movement are that the big guys will force us back into the cold dark corners where we used to hunker, then let us back into the light with e-cigs that cost the same as patches that cost the same as gum that costs the same as analogs.
Meantime, bean-counting aside, i think of it this way: They say smoking an analog takes seven minutes off your life, so ducking each analog adds seven minutes, which when you think about it, isn't a bad payback.

After 2 month anniversary of no analogs using my joye 510 ordered a riva se kit from liberty flights whit the saved bucks.

BTW fresh or saltwater setup?

It's freshwater. I have a few tanks running. I keep SA/CA cichlids, and other large/aggressive predatory/oddball stuff. I've got various loaches too. I think the crown jewel of my 125 is the clown knife, and the lima shovelnose pair.

and I'm upgrading to a 240 next year, haha.

I love this hobby. and the other one!

I have a ProVari and will be trying to sell my Buzz (gold) and Copper. Nothing wrong with any of them, but I like the ergonomics of my other stuff better: Indulgence with extension, Icon, and ePower. The latter are for being out and about.

I am VERY interested in buying a higher voltage mod. you have a buzz and a copper? how much would you sell them for? I've got a bunch of revolver stuff [i really love that little ion] and a vgo, but I want to go 5 or 6v!

pm me?

The day I took up vaping again, one of my rabbis asked if perhaps I could swing giving some support to a yeshiva student, so the money that was going up in smoke will be helping to support a student and his family.

wow, that's extremely noble. let it be known, I'm actually a satanist. [sorry!] but I understand financial neediness, and I think that's a wonderful way to spend saved money.

guys, this is a really interesting thread. and I also really like this forum!
 
I'm only on day five of no analogs so no savings yet. I spent about $100 to start with on initial ecig and juice. When I get paid again I'll buy more attys, more tanks, and more juice. I also spent another $100 on new bedding. My old sheets and comforter were filled with cigarette holes and of course they smelled like cigarettes. I decided to pre-reward myself with Egyptian cotton that won't be burned and stinky.

Haven't saved a dime, just don't use the same $ to buy cigs.

Have 2 mods and a number of friends and family that have now made the switch.

I didn't start vaping to save money. I found love and wanted a new life to go with it. Money is not that important. (I have to believe that as the ex-wife took every last cent I had)

Aww, best reasons I've heard so far!
