I'm the same as OneDay ... still keep a spreadsheet of every penny spent on vaping...

After 1 year 10 months...

Fags not bought   £5,222.00
Vaping spends      £1,657.13       

Saving                 £3,564.87

I know it's sad, but as I watch the savings graph go up and up, it reinforces my resolve, not that I've needed to.

Good on you for doing that for your son.

Blimey Raffles, a spreadsheet????

It still saddens me to think about the day I had to sell my car because I couldn't afford the costs of running it.
Now I am vaping (2yrs) I could afford a car and the cost of running it but, sadly I am now too old to drive, but on the plus side, I am healthier for walking everywhere and have reserve cash if needed for emergencies.
I am just thankful I got into vaping for the sheer pleasure of adding another hobby to my list.

I've only been vaping for about 3-4 months and @i use to spend about £50 a month on rolling tobacco/papers so I'll say I've saved about £200...

..but then instead of buying tobacco stuff I've been buying vape stuff lol.

Ego kits x 4 = £18 ish
Extra CE4/5 and Pro tanks = £15 ish
Ready made juices = £10
DIY nic/flavour/pg/vg/bottles = £50 ish

I think I've spent around £100 on stuff so far. I think when you first start vaping you would spend a bit of cash than you normally would on equipment and getting the stuff you need, then once you have it you don't need to spend any more for a long while. Thanks to this site I found out how to make my own juice and I have 20 bottles in the cupboard so I'm sorted now for a good few months and don't need to spend any money at all on it..well apart from electricity to charge my batteries

I have just calculated.....smoking rollies (an ounce a day at 3 year ago prices) - £7 a day....(taxed)...

The maths mean I'd have spent £7500 (just under) in tobacco (not counting papers, lighters etc)

Last time (over a year ago) I did the maths I was spending about £20 a week on e-cigs (over estimate now) for everything (mods, juice, atties the works)

So basic estimate is £3K spent on e-cigs in the last three years....

Tis not much

And I know full well that there is no way I'd have gotten out of debt (18 months ago) without e-cigs....

Perhaps you might like to change your wording in the first sentence amygx

According to my siggy thingy I've saved £2301 in just over a year.

Just added up what's sitting in my mod stand at rrp (£1000 near as dammit), and no doubt spent at least £500 if not more on juice etc..

So I'm around £700 in the green... Scary to add it up but I'm not in the red and feel so much more healthy for it!!!

[geordie_vaper]

i have spent more then i ever would on tabs, i use to smoke 5 maybe 6 a day, there was a woman selling boxes she got from spain 20 for £2:50 so say 5 quid a week,

i blow that out the water with vaping purchases but its my hobby and enjoy it i didnt start to save money i started to stop smoking

[baron]

For me I used to spend about £220-240 or so per month on ciggies and roll-ups mostly for me and some for the wife.
Since I stopped smoking on 23rd Dec 2013 over the past 5 months I guess I have spent about £150 or so, which averages out at about £30/month, so a fair old saving.

My last large purchase (a couple of weeks after my MVP2) I spent £52.60 (direct from China) on the VTR2, and the wife just stared at me and said "Why ?"

I told her that really it was the cost of a weeks ciggies and tobacco, and I would have the use of it hopefully for a few years, whereas with the ciggies all I would have is a bin full of dog-ends.

She agrees and understands (well I think so) but is still giving me funny looks, when I am happily puffing away on it....

OMG sorry I meant vaping.  VAPING!.  I was half asleep when I typed it sorry.

[CaptainChaos]

That's ok, amygx - we are all serial vapists, I guess
