I Am a big saver here. (cigs were 14$ a day) I am getting a new comp to talk to all you fine people!

I blew a lot of money at first trying things that were a lot less than perfect. It cost over a hundred dollars for a cig-alike with 2 batteries, I stocked up on pre-filled cartos for it, (traveled to the states to bring back the ones with nicotine), but, through trial and error and ECF I found what worked for me and what was worth stocking up on.
The first six months was mostly shopping and stocking up, about $1,200.00. Since August 2012 I haven't bought anything vape related. I now need a few supplies, another spare Twist or 2, and I have been waiting for the Protank Mini, so I will pick them up soon.
I put $9 daily into a jar and use that money for:
- Tickets to CHL hockey games ( I enjoy live Junior games more than Professional televised games) $600 X 2 for the season
- The deductible for any prescribed medicine (blood pressure and cholesterol are ongoing treatments)
- Lotto tickets ($70/month) for a chance to Dream!
- Concert tickets (as required)
- vaping supplies ("as required", not "as wanted")
The vaping gear is much more reliable today than it was a year ago. DIY allows me to mix what I like when I want it at a nearly insignificant cost. With the long wicks available now, I often enjoy 1 tank of flavored juice and then many tanks of unflavored to get just a subtle taste.
I have cash on-hand (~ $1200) to buy any vape set-up I want, but I am satisfied with a Twist, Vivi Nova Mini (soon a Protank Mini), but of course I have lots of other set-ups for different occasions (Mini eGo and CE2, for stealth), and I am
Relaxing and Enjoying!

Yeah...saving money isn't working for me either. I was ahead at my 6 month point, then went crazy (like celebratory gifts to myself -all vape related).
Then I just realized a moment ago and posted in another thread, that my 1 year is fast approaching, and "IF" I don't buy anything for the next 17 days, my "break even" and anniversary will be within a few days of each other. Not sure that is gonna happen though!
But in retrospect: I am still spending less per year than the hubby does on his smokes.

I have never backslid, never even been tempted. I jokingly considered having a cigar at my 1 year anniv, but when that day comes, I'll realize that all I would be doing is disappointing myself and resetting a timer. I'm truly done with tobacco! And you will be too, folks!

I bought a ProVari
I will be buying on of these bad boys (after some more research) very soon with the $ I've saved. I can't wait
.
I have found that I have more money in general, even buying around $100 or more in vape supplies and gear a month. I'm also working less and for less money than I was a year ago. I also have quit drinking like I used to. Those bar tabs are not to be trifled with.
A tablet or iPad really helped breath new life into ECF for me and I'd recommend ya'll treat yourself to one of 'em when you can responsibly afford it!

Great idea! I will start putting $7 a day into a jar.
Leaving for Las Vegas next week. My better half has never been, I was there a few years ago for work. We have front and center seats for O, and some other shows lined up. Unfortunately her favorite since she was a teenager, Donny Osmond won't be there until the following week. We want to try some slot machines, nice restaurants, and have a couple drinks. Really looking forward to it.
Snap car makes my purchase look a little silly now oh well tis very shiny
I bought a 1911, a 625, and a G19.
The two progressive presses and reloading components are not yet paid for by savings...but they will be

I've saved enough to be able to go to Cancun for a couple weeks every year, but the wife spends it as fast as it comes in
