I couldn't tell you what my budget is. All I need to know is that it's a hell of a lot cheaper than what my analog budget was....

Around a 150.00...I love to try new juice flavors. I'm sure that will reduce over time..i have a hard time controlling myself when i start something new. 
Ha! Are you shopping at .5 pawns these days, Altaire?
well I mean I used to spend more because I never bought more than 5-15ml bottles at the most cuz I bought alot of different stuff to find that "perfect ADV". Im sufficiently satisfied that Gambit, Twas Brillig and Legend can quench any craving I have as far as vaping so I just buy 30ml bottles. I gave away like 30 or 40 smaller bottles of stuff that didnt do it for me to other people that I started into vaping and now I just vape those three pretty much, so...30ml lasts me a month or two so, just havent bought anymore for months really. I go through less than a ml a day unless Im drinking. My ex I just got into vaping and she blew through like a good 50ml in like 2 weeks so I get that my levels are uncommon, but...I dont know I dont go through that much liquid, I vape as often as I used to smoke which was a pack a day, I blow huge plumes when I vape, maybe its my technique or something, dunno
Yeah I don't go thru a ton of liquid either really. I half filled a protank with some grandmaster at noon to see if I like it yet... Nope still don't like it.. but this dang tank just won't die! So like 1.5ml or so is lasting for FOREVER... Was puffing on it three hours straight while watching the Lions get spanked haha.
If I didn't get bored with flavors so fast I might even try to see how long a 30ml bottle would last me if that's ALL I used. But I'm way too ADHD for that. I bet I could get by on $50 a month tho. Maybe. All I know is, if I only bought liquid in a "replenishing my favorites" capacity, I'd be spending less. But as it is, I'm still hunting for unicorns and buying any and everything that sounds like it could be favorable. It's kinda wasteful, and often disappointing, but still cheaper than smoking.

Protanks take forever to go through. I think its because you vape more air than juice. I wish they gave a good vape...still havent found a better vape than a vivinova though...although I tried this iclear 16 clearo, and on my ego it gives about as thick of a vape as on my mod, although its not as warm and plush...but the iclear 30 may replace the vivinovas soon, havent bought one yet. I wish they made vivis with metal and pyrex like a protank that had a similar vape to the vivi though. I hated the protank from jump and everytime I give it another chance it just pisses me off. I just took it out and filled it with White Rabbit and it made it taste like syrup, aluminum and turpentine. I hate it.
Im kind of done looking. I like April Moon alot, I wanna try a couple c. room AiV liquids, other than that Im not buying anything new...there may be something better than what I vape, may not, just tired of rolling the dice...people talked up bobas like it was the end all be all of juices and Im vaping it right now and its meh. Over it. May try some Ahlusion one day, but I know I like 4 or 5 so...just doing those
And if youre trying to rile me up about the lions you failed. I know nothing about football

Yeah you're smart.. I should probably end the vapequest too. I have a few I like pretty well so idk why I feel compelled to find something better. It's just.. maybe I think vaping would be less fun and exciting if I'm just in restock and replenish mode.. will be more like a futile, repetitive habit like smoking was. I had the wine bug for a while too. Wanted to visit every winery and sample everything. Had fun picking out the nuances and learning. But if I was a just drinking to drink I'd just pick up a jug of lambrusco and call it a day.
I can't believe you haven't checked out ahlusions yet. You should definitely do that if you ever get bored with your adv's. I bet anything you'd dig it.. they're a class act for sure. Lots a exotic teas I suspect you could totally get into, plus every other genre you can name.
I wasn't *trying* to get you riled about football as much as I was hoping.. so pardonnez moi. I guess I assume we all love le football as much as moi.

MBV while they don't have the best juice, they do have pretty decent juice for the price. Have you looked into getting juices in bulk?(100ml+ at a time)So I had an argument with my SO about e-juice spending. Thanks to the fail government, its time to rethink the family budget big time
I spend around $100 a month on average on e-juice. I should stop getting sampler packs, really, is what I can think of right now, but I figured everyone spends as much on the stuff. Perhaps I am out of line here.
I don't do the DIY thing cause with a kid in the house, I figure its just asking for trouble.
Help out a fellow vaper and let me know how much you spend on juice each month. If a pattern emerges (and hopefully it does), I will know if I really am spending too much.
Depends on the month. September was one of those "cheap" months for juice, probably around $40.
Vapetoberfest is coming up in 2 weeks, and I plan on buying a few mods and spending at least $100 on juice that weekend alone.
If I want to be as cost-efficient as possible, I can probably go a month on $10, but I enjoy trying too many things to realistically do that.

Minus the occasional frivalous manic sampler pack, or new juice from one of my favorite vendors, I try to keep it under a hundred. Although starting out I think everyone should go all out and build there collection as variety helped me the most in kicking the analogs.. I'm a polygajuicer! The more in rotation the better!

Yeah I just found out they're actually not too far from where I live. Nothing about them really grabs me. They do apparently have a mango lassi which kind of arouses my interest...dairy flavors haven't been too lovely in my experience though so I'm hesitant. They've always sort of tasted like vomit

Yeah you should definitely check them out since they're local and have a tasting bar. I can't imagine you'd be disappointed. Try the boba tea and smooth criminal if you go.. those are my favs.
If you want to save a ....-ton of money on juice, just find out when the next convention near you is going on, they're always throwing out handfuls of freebie 15ml bottles, I have about 30 bottles still from ECC in Anaheim, so I just buy a few bottles of my favorites and use the freebies the majority of the time. My monthly juice budget this way is around $20.
I haven't found my One True Juice yet. It took me the longest time to find the perfect VG+PG mix. I am a 80-90% VG kinda guy, I found out, and yet, even with that mix, some liquids are too harsh on the throat etc. I am going through some HHV and AIV now, and I hope I can stick with one of their juices long-term.
