Took a closer look at my Bank Statement.

[shamreez]

I used to spend a lot.

Started with a green smoke (Spend lot of money on that stupid thing but it got me started to vaping)
Second was the infamous TW for tornado tank
Made a huge jump from there to GGTS and ODY.
Sold of the ODY and found my go to setup (Clearos in Arry's tank)
a few months of just juices from James.
Sold the GGTS and got a LT and a Sigelli
Got a VH genesis to start the rebuild-able journey and currently happy with a AGA T+

Have a spool of wire an A4 sized sheet of mesh and mis eliqid for 100 ml of juice at a time

So now my usual monthly spend for vaping is around £17 - £19

Like pretty much everyone, my initial expenses have been a bit toe-curling in a relatively short space of time - eVic, AGA-S, AGA-T, a few clearos and a selection of juices, wick and wire in a month and a half. BUT! I was a 30 per day smoker so I'm still very much ahead in the money stakes, and I reckon I've got pretty close to my ideal setup now. It slows down very quickly, as long as you're sensible

That's me up the creek without a paddle then.

We added ours up last night and we have just broken even with our big order last week and that includes a big order of juice on sunday. Have a big order wairing with sadie so that will take us £10 over next week i think but will have 2 vamos vivi novas mini novas an evod 2x spinners plus a few spares so just spare heads and juice to get each week for a month and that will put us back in the black.

Haha Yeah, you have to be able to stop yourself! I won't lie, if I had the cash for one of those Caravela Genesis atties I'd be seriously considering one, but I'd be castrated before I even managed to wrap a coil on it!

I was having this conversation with my wife and was just about to agree that I "probably" was spending a bit to much on vaping gear when I suddenly thought hang on.....I'm actually, possibly saving my life here and that's priceless so I can quite happily live with the cost of it. To be fair my wife agreed and has on the whole been very patient and supportive. I think it's easy to lose sight of both things, how much your spending but also what your achieving. If however I'm still spending at the same rate in another two or three months time I might find it hard to justify it to myself never mind my wife! At some point I know I'm going to have to settle on what I like and stick with it and maybe then i'll start saving money as well as my life.
Chris.

Very valid point mate. I never really thought of it that way, trust me to always see the negative in things. You're right, there is so many more positives so what if I have spent a bit too much this month. At least it's keeping me interested, away from the smokes and hey I'm having fun.

Chris, I know you vape the baccy flavours. I just dripped a little of redwood blend this morning. It's pretty damn good.

Aha, glad you like the redwood Ewol, Its my staple vape currently, i have mixed some with his Breakfast blend which is the same but more vanilla and a little sweeter and thats very good.

Wrapping a coil on it numbs the pain apparently.

Yeah, I do mate. You were right about it going well with tea. It's kinda what I've been 'missing'. I'll try that next time I order more redwood blend.

Yes it's on my list Ewol! I'm probably going to order some at the end of the week to take with me when I go away to work.

Cheers

That is something I could never tell my wife (That I am saving my life here)

She is a doctor. She does admit that e-cigs are a lot safer than cigarettes (& completely safe for her as there is no second hand smoke)

But she does insist that there are chemicals though a very small amount present in ecig which is pretty bad for our body and I don't have a reply for that.

They are all trace chemicals though from the best info at the moment, as there are in just about everything. Just for nicotine alone, it`s in tomatoes, potatoes, black tea, peppers, cauliflower to name but 5. For goodness sake dont tell the EU, they`ll be banning them all
