Why I'm Going back to Cigarettes

[MattyTny]

As far as liquid goes and you don't want to DIY, you can guy bulk unflavored nic at really affordable prices. It's pretty taste neautral and hard to get tired of.
Velvet Cloud Unflavored Base
3mg/mL - 36mg/mL Nicotine Base - Nude Nicotine

And here's a thread for affordable bulk flavored mixes:
Affordable 120ml bottles of ejuice?

I vape the Velvet Cloud at 3mg. I buy the 500ml when it goes on sale, usually 20% off. It's great because it lasts so long that you're bound to get an email about a sale promo code before you run out.

$11.99 for a pound of tobacco and 99 cents a box of tubes when I bought in bulk.

And DIY eliquid is quite a bit more of a hassle than rolling tobacco. I much rather just buy my juice.

For us that do DIY, no, it is a simple hobby that rewards
Premium Flavors for pennies on the Dollar and by the Quart as opposed to the 30ml bottle

But yes, there are several members who have found Excellent suppliers of FAIR priced(Decent) e-liquids.

Point is, it is not worth increased health issues to go back to smoking if avoidable and desired. yes?

Sorry but using cost as a reason to go back to tobacco just doesn't work and comes across as an excuse to go back to what you want. I'm on disability and the one thing we have a lot of is time, time to research, time to shop and time to make our own liquid, coils and wicks all of which occupy your time a big problem for many on disability and save you a fortune. Bacon made a very generous offer to you and so much respect to them for doing that. Your main mistake was not having a backup even an ego with a ce4 would keep you going, end of the day if you want to go back to tobacco then do so but don't use cost as the reason for doing it.

two weeks on cigs = $50. that's the price on a decent regulated single battery mod brand new. cost should not be an issue.

Not to mention the costs of:

Chemotherapy
Surgery
Oxygen for COPD...

I just wanted to say farewell to all my friends here because this is my last post here. I'm going back to traditional cigarettes. My beloved and only MOD I have the iStick 50W died on me only after 6 months it will no longer charge I used the correct charger (1 AMP). It seems that i cant keep a MOD more the 6 months and I take VERY good care of them. I'm very poor and for me to buy a cheap MOD is a very BIG DEAL. I need it to last at least a year I understand now that all MODS are essentially disposable They will eventually die. yes I save money on e-liquid but if I have to but a new $50-$80 device every 6 months it negates the savings on the liquid. I love vaping and had a deep passion for it but I just cant afford it right now I hope vaping continues on and continues saving peoples life. Love yall for all the help and goodbye.

And $14 every day or two isnt expensive



Lol

You can buy a nemesis clone for 10 bucks and battery-- a good one-- of 8. But good luck.

Heavens Gifts is another. They currently have the 40W Kanger Kbox at 50% off, which would bring the price down to $14.25. Not the latest and greatest, but a decent mod. I have several in my vapocalypse stash.

Wow! This is a really good deal. I have a few of these! You can't beat $14.25 for a KBOX! These are very sturdy and last a very, very long time. I have 4 of them. If I were you I'd go grab one of these and maybe another if possible for backup. I may go buy a couple to put back for the looming FDA regulations.

 

[Nick N]

To be fair the iStick 50w had a lot of issues. Mine (like a lot of others) started firing on its own. I would get an iStick 60w or eVic Mini, both can be had for under $35 from efun.top. Buy an 18650 battery and both can be charged while in the device, so no additional charger needed.

 

[supertrunker]

Maybe some people really just ought to carry on smoking. It's not like the risks are unknown. They are well known.

I've primarily to only used cigalike rechargeables. I'd say in 4 years I've bought around 20. At around $15 a pop, that equals $300, or about $75 a year on devices. 20 sounds like a lot, doesn't it? Thing is, right now I have 11 in regular rotation. Oh, and if one of those stops working, then I ship it back to my vendor (very popular vendor), they ship me a new one, and I still have 11 working batteries. Maybe half the time I pay for shipping the non-working device, and half the time I don't incur that $2.50 charge.

To me, if you are on a tight budget and don't need the biggest baddest device currently available to humankind, this is the way to go. But then again, the dual user in me has no issues with an ultimatum of going back to smoking. I haven't left. Moderate smoking rocks.

Wish I had known about that site a few months ago when I bought my IPV D2.
I was looking for a Kbox because they were fairly inexpensive compared to other electronic mods but everyone was sold out of them!
I love my IPV but for that price, I'm almost tempted to get a Kbox now just for a backup. (If I hadn't already spent money on getting into mechs!)

I just bought 4 kBox and 2 tanks for 97 bucks there. These are all getting stashed away for the vapapocolypse.

Not sure what you are doing wrong brother, but you are either doing something wrong, or you are buying the wrong mod for you.

I have a Sigelei 100watt box mod. It cost me $85, but they now sell for under $50. It is made of aluminum I believe. I have dropped it on the concrete and floor WELL over 30-40 times, and besides wear and tear, it functions perfectly and still looks good!


iIf you really want to go back to cigarettes, be my guest.....but I could *never* go back now that I've been vaping for 3 years. i

William, think about what you went through transitioning from tobacco to vaping some 500+ days ago, and what an achievement that was for you, and all the knowledge and benefits (health and $$) you've gained from it along the way. Don't throw it away.
