This would be my banner if I were counting the cigs/pennies . . .



And, even though I'm a terrible vaping shopaholic . . . there's no way I've spent this much on supplies.

Precisely.....

I have saved though my vaping spreadsheet half tries to tell me otherwise LOL

It says average spend this month about £22 :eek: per week on vaping stuff..

Depends what I get? I had to buy two lavatubes cos one I got wet... I spent about £20-30 on homemade tank supplies the other month.... Less than a week's cigs for me but still....

Basic (juice and cartos) supplies for me are about £15 a week...even so....

Like Alvo I keep a spreadsheet and I have an Android app on my phone which I update with every purchase

I do a spreadsheet but an Android app would be great. Which app dp you use?

I have saved over £3000 in a year.

'E-smoker calculator' which is relatively in depth but the widget is just a small heads up with numbers
I also use 'Quit Now'. The widget is quite big and shows days quit, cigs not smoked and money saved.

I find it encouraging and its great having the information to hand all the time.

I find that logging on at least once a day gives me the encouragement to carry on vaping , I love to see
1. how many cigs avoided
2. money saved

I have taken advantage of money saved by buying a new pc a few weeks ago when the old one met it's end , and it was nice to be able to buy without saving, also a new big telly (boys and their toys eh ) plus a UK holiday which cost more than a trip abroad .
So hell yea I have seen my wallet get fatter

Downside to everything is that at one time my missus bitched at me to stop smoking , now she bitches at me to quit vaping ..... sheesh ya just can't win

With regards to this sort of thing I posted recently on UKV in a similar thread - here.
So here it is

As people say it was as much about health as it was money for me.
I was just sitting working it all out with receipts for the last hour or so.
Spend in the 12 months before vaping on tobacco and its related products was about £850 (yes I smoked rollies).
Spent on vaping and related stuff in 12 months about £650.
The vaping is cheaper since when calculating I included all the components and tools I bought to mod with, some of which went on to be sold.
I took the money from sales off the total vaping money.
So I've only really saved £200, but it's still a saving.
Also having spent that I have a 4 month supply of juice sitting here (I mix my own) and a couple of dozen assorted unused as yet attys and cartos (main atty is a rebuildable). I have a big roll of wire for the rebuildable and use ss mesh for wick which I have quite a bit of too. I still have a fair few unused components kicking around worth about £40 too waiting for me to make them into something.

I shopped around when I was a smoker to get the best deals and do the same with vaping gear.
I went from 510 basic kit to a couple of riva batteries then built my own.
Not buying mods is the main reason I'm saving and I don't see that changing.
The only shiny mod type thing I bought was a second hand RTA.
I do feel the pull to buy mods but just can't afford it, so I build mods for my own use instead.

For those interested my unadjusted spend on vaping was about equal with the smoking for me, but like I said I shopped around as a smoker and bought online from tobacconists rather than from regular sources.

I am thinking in about 6 months I should start saving money given juice, carto and atty expenditure provided I stay away from Mods without selling any I have or rebuildable atty's. The last one is unlikely as I have my name down for two at the moment.

Ok I am thinking in about 7 - 8 months I should start saving..........

I understand that Chrissie, but how do you know what you need until you experiment with all the goodies out there?

Sorry for the delay in replying Karma

As others have said, when something new comes out, Hang on for a while. Not just for the initial reviews - most things work OK straight out of the box but after a short while, the cracks (literally) start to show.

OK, I know I'm most likely missing out by not trying everything new that comes on the market. But I'm just happy with a 100%, well made mechanical mod that is virtually indestructible & Boge LR cartomisers that can be bought for as little as 50p each - at that price, I don't mind chucking them after a couple of days

On the juice side, I buy a mixture of very cheap Dekang for all day/heavy vaping use plus some bottles of extra high quality/flavour for enjoyment. After, all, out of the 50 or so fags I used to smoke every day, I reckon I only actually "enjoyed" smoking about 10 of them.
