Wow!... I have spent a lot of money!

[DerekUrban]

Well, just to make you feel better .. .I've spent about $7500 on ecig stuff in the last 6months. I would have spent $3000 or so on cigs .... but my health is much better!

Niche? lol .. there's always something new to try. Curiosity killed the savings account as well as the cat!

To be honest, I am supporting 4 other vapers too, but they are cheap compared to my stash. This is just a small sampling of the stash that ate Minnesota:

Oh. Mah. Gawd. A purple Riva! Do want (In a slightly darker shade, I'm picky).

Anyways, over the 3 months I've been vaping I have acquired a Mega eGo kit ($60), a couple 510s ($35), a Riva Battery ($10), About $40 worth of Cartos, $30 worth of Atomizers, probably $150 worth of juice, and I'll say $30 worth of accessories. That puts me at $355.

That being said, I smoked about a pack a day at $6 a pack. That puts me at around $550 I would have spent on cigarettes.

I'm $200 ahead, booya!

 

[melloyello]

ive spent about 1200 in half a year, about 700 less than smoking. i wil continue to spend between 60 and 100 a month. if i was still smoking i would spend 300/month.
not only is it much cheaper, this is actually fun.

 

[iBANKAI]

man..probably i have spend close too if not 800 dollars without the past year..mods, batteries, liquids, accessories...but I feel it's all worth it..vaping is fun..some call it a hobby..for me..it's a new type of life style..

 

[hairball]

Over the past year, I've easily spent $8,000. My signature will tell you what I have now in terms of PV's but that does not include all the ones I've tried and sold or traded.

Just this month I've bought:
1 Mantis - 65.00
2 Reo Mini's - 215.00
2 Reo Grands - 300.00
2 Hog mods - 190.00
1 Chrome Silver Bullet - 85.00
2 Reo Woodvils - 306.00
1 Vari Cool Big Brother - 65.00
1 Vari Cool Big Daddy - 95.00

I don't even want to begin to think of what i've spent. I have saved all of my receipts..........at least from when I was like 2 months in (because I was spending alot)........

I've decided that most juice is trash.....& the majority of companies carry the same flavors. I mean PA VBIC is PA VBIC no matter what juice it's mixed in. Menthol is menthol.......now & then it's mixed with a fruit flavor & even then there is only so much you can do with menthol & fruit. I finally found heaven with alien visions hype & sweet tart. Another must have in the house is Southern Ambrosia's sticky fingers. Then my two favorite Tasty Vapor flavors POB & MO.

Mods are a whole different ballgame. I had a problem for a few months there, but I've unloaded quite a few by either giving them away, or selling them. I am keeping 2 Reos, 1 Saber Touch, The Prodigy, The Alpha Ultramax, The SS VP1. 1 Buzz, 1 Buzz Pro, & 1 Infinity. I refuse to let go of 2 Pink Riva batteries, & a pink Ego PT. Then there are all those 401 batteries sitting in my pif box from way back when I first tried ecigs that I really should get rid of, but they've got sentimental value since they were my very first. Then there are the mods that were specially made for me like the solar mod, my pez mod, & a hand carved bottom feeder. Then there is the Mark IV that i'm keeping because it's the only cedar one ever made besides "The Captain's", & it was a gift from him. Rob is making me a cedar mini woodvile at the moment from 300 year old cedar that a friend donated so that we could both have cedar woodviles
.
Well wait.....I did buy a P10 last night, so I guess I'm gonna keep that too.

If there is a mod co-op then I absolutely positively MUST join it. I'm currently waiting on Tai Pan's & Fender's Co-op parts to be delivered.

Then i'm flying out to Vegas for Vapefest in a few weeks, just to check out what the vendors have coming out next.

It's outta control, it's put a dent in what I normally would have spent in modding my cars. I haven't saved a penny. In fact I spend money to send people the stuff for free that I don't want anymore.

It's all in good fun. I've met a lot of neat people & some I'll consider friends for life. In the meantime I can run up a few flights of stairs, race my kids from the car to the door of walmart & dance until the world ends, all without being out of breath & I like it.

$6 a pack in OK. Isn't OK a republican state? What does the government spend the money on out there?

Wild Vaping Women in Vegas. Sounds like a new info-mercial

I really have no clue. I mean, there's a lot of construction at all times, massively overcrowded prisons and more than a few politicians that would gladly pocket every bit of taxpayer money possible. But mostly I think it's just a nanny-state "Smoking is bad" thing.

Cigarettes are even more expensive in Texas actually, and they're redder than red. But personally, I don't see much of a difference between the two main parties other than the demographic they pander to, so it doesn't really surprise me much.

Yeah, all the finger pointing and posturing...full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

That's serious money! Ever think about retailing - the PV Master Shop? You can try everything that way.

Edit: And they say there's a recession...

LusciousPuff, you may just become a super hero around here, only $350. As you can see if you add a zero then you have most of the rest of us. Banks accounts are empty, our safe boxes contain nothing but lint, credit card companies now refuse us cards, even the kids piggy banks get paid some serious attention around here. Good luck on your quest to stay centered in this incredibly addictive world of PV gadgetry.

[Spazmelda]

I'm very envious of those purple go-gos.

 

[washvap]

I've spent more than I've ever imagined on this stuff. Still going to but at least I'm set for juice, cartos, and atties for at least a 1/2 a year or so.

Got me a Shiny new SS Drip tip and a red cone and cartos for my Cherry Jazz, (ergg caugh ehem...), The Admirals Cherry Jazz Battery, she hijacked that one before I even got it out of the box all the way LOL. Also got some adapters to play mad scientist with some other stuffs I have

Nate aka Darth Vapor

 

[LusciousPuffs]

Yes, I do feel better about what I have spent compared to some of you...I have caught the PV fever though -just ordered 4 510 mega batts + matching attys in various colors to dedicate to various flavor liquids (yes, I love my 510 megas...and I do have an eGo that I use strictly for dripping at home, but out and about I carry 2-3 510 megas cause I like to hold them like a ciggy and they are elegant and girly), another wall to usb charger, and some more DIY liquid supplies...so + $120

BTW -love those glittery purple GoGos...I want some glittery 510 megas...if only they made them...

 

[beezer]

I spent about $750 in 2 months. As you see in my Provari sig I'm in the hole until 12/28/11. I have a very addictive personality (and a Provari with a tank)

 

[Iffy]

I spent about $750 in 2 months.

Pffftt... I've probably spent that much just on $hipping...

 

[Semiretired]

Wow, what kind of analogs have ya'll been smoking. I spent about $100 a month on analogs and hope that I never spend the kind of money I have seen here on E-Cigs...

Now, if it turns into a hobby - then I can see me spending more. I might have spent as much on lighters just collecting a few over my life - OMG, what am I going to do with all of these lighters (lol)... Some are on ebay already...

 

[coffm0]

Studio, I dont see a HOG MOD in there. Just surious, why not?

I guess I have spent about $4500.00 since March when I started, but I have to have all the cool mods and tons of supplies, and I DIY my own juice to have all the flaorings bottles tools etc. A lot of my stuff is on pics on my profile, feel free to look at it if ya like.
