I've been vaping since May of this year. What's that, a little over 7 months now? My smoking habit was $90 a month, back then, which pales compared to some of the horror stories I hear. I generally place one order a month from heaven-gifts, so I'm breaking even at this point. The first month was a doozie! I've actually given a lot away to co-workers and I'm generous with sharing my juices for them to try out. If you use a little common sense and self-control you will be fine, even if you were a moderate smoker. It helps to have friends you can share expenses with, like shipping costs, so get you co-workers hooked as soon as possible!
The forum has helped a lot with sparking my own creativity and coming up with dealers and models I never knew about. It's all here... Somewhere. My first month was just watching every YouTube video out there and trying different models. I'm really happy where I'm at right now and spend most of my budget making sure I have enough back up equipment and, when I get the chance, sampling juices from other companies and playing with DIY. I mix a mean cinnamon.
The forum is two years old and still growing! I'm glad they recently started posting ads. Don't mind it a bit if it means a long and happy life.
Thanks everyone!
