Whats your Vaping Budget?

[v1ck]

I think i would get bored of vaping if i stopped buying vaping stuff i don't need...

I wonder if the natural life-cycle of vaping is the long journey to find the perfect setup for each individual followed by the boredom of just using that one setup with that one juice followed by not bothering to smoke or vape...

A little mellon collie thought for the day.

no wife, no kids, no budget

I diy juice, so I really don't spend much at all

 

[edyle]

$100 per month.

Have to do DIY; cannot buy eliquid at eliq prices unless you got hardware to use it in, and you cannot get good hardware if you spend alot on eliquid.

What is a good reliable company to get flavors from with out having to order from too many??? wanting to get into the DIY just need to know good quality flavor companies??? Any input would be helpful.

I have a personal preference for The Flavorer's Apprentice, but just because I like the stuff their flavorers concoct. I order direct from them (they're online) as the pricing tends to be a bit better than getting it from an e-cig company.

If you check the DIY threads, a lot are fans of Lorann flavors as well (and they're also online).

Now that I have my batteries and whatnot set, I shoot for about 1/2 of what I was spending on cigs. So i try to stay at $75 a month or so. But I am still trying out a lot of different flavors and different toppers. Trying to stock up on rebuilding supplies, etc. Once I'm more settled, I'll cut the budget down a lot.

It's not really a linear thing..


In January & February, for example, my current juice place had a few sales.. 25% off

That's basically their max discount, so I stocked up, and don't need any new juice for at least 3 months now


Theoretically, I could spend nothing during that time, and be fine

Theoretically..

Take the cost of 2 packs a day times 30 days and thats my vape budget for the month.

I never have really understood how some complain about the cost of items, especially when Im saving so much by not smoking.

 

[Ohms Lawbreaker]

Equipment should not need to be replaced every week or two, but I wasted some $$$ on crap. No real budget for me either.

Not a collector or rda dripper so a good glass tank or 3 and something like an iTaste or 2 can keep me vaping for ... I would guess really a year if I didn't drop and break the damn glass every few months. Factor in DIY juice and I don't spend much at all, just invest in supplies like Kanthal, nic and flavors, and a new batt or tank now and then. Simple, cheap. VG and cotton are next to nothing, so is Kanthal for that matter ... hell everything is cheap, flavors, nic, when compared to a pack of smokes. And I can wait on Chinese sites, but more and more good deals right here in the US lately. Lot of out of stock, what ya gonna do. If I had lots of spare cash I'd buy a lot of toys for sure.

 

[erinarthur222]

the first month i spent quite a bit but now im on 2 mg nico. and spending just about 0 dollars now i have all my supplies.

You can easily vape for less than $10 a week. Use tank cartomizers, make your own juice, and build your own mod. Even without building your own mod, there is no reason anyone should be spending more than $10 a week unless they're just out there buying the latest greatest thing.

I don't have a budget per say but what I do is I don't allow myself to spend more than 1/2 of what I would have spent on cigs. If I spend even less than the 1/2 limit I give myself some kudosss

 

[Koudotai]

For me it's whatever I make in overtime hours I allow myself to get more gear so long as there isn't something more pressing that I need to use it for

I order 200ml of Dekang about once ever 6 to 8 weeks. That's four 50ml bottles at $12 each. At 4ml to 5ml a day I get 40 to 50 days from that, and I always have a few bottles of various juices that I vape here and there to fill in. Dekang Tobacco is a good mild tobacco base. If I want flavors, I have an assortment of Lorann's flavors that I use on a per tank basis. I'll put a drop of Lorann's into a 5ml tank to make English Toffee, Key Lime, Vanilla Butternut, or Cotton Candy.

It's an economical way to vape and the flavor is good.

I bought two 18650 IMR replacement batteries yesterday. My four AWs in rotation have lasted almost two years and were down to only 5 or 6 hours of vaping on a charge. Routinely, I only buy juice and tank heads in any given month.

 

[MattyRetro]

I'm starting to get into a routine of placing a mtbakervapor order twice a month. 40-50 bucks on juice per month ain't too bad. It's all the new toys that I want to try.

 

[Kollin6618]

Well I just stocked up on a bunch of equipment that should last at least a year if I take good care of it. Juice wise I have about 6 months worth. I'm trying to get a taste of every vendor before I buy large bottles so I'll buy a sample pack or a few small bottles every couple weeks. Have 1 ADV and possibly 2 but I'd like to find a couple more.

In the first 3 months I spent $428 on gear and juice finding what worked for me ($8 over what smokes would have cost me $35 for a carton once a week) . Since then my budget has been decreased to $70 a month. I spend $25 a month on Zamplebox and buy my favorite boutique juices $35 a month leaving $10 a month to buy recoiling supplies, replace batteries and the like. DIY did not work well for me and I do not mind paying upto 75 cents a ML for juices I adore. If There is a new shiny I want I either save for it or use "found money" (gift money, overtime, money saved using coupons, sell something I no longer need ect)

DO NOT DO THAT, you are wasting good money due to lack of research. Google mtbakervapor WHOLESALE and buy at wholesale price, doing that will save you lots of good money

 

[jrenae4]

Not enough! Need more!

 

[Konrow]

25 bucks a month or so. However about to get into rbas and my costs should go down after the initial purchases.
