I had a look at my E-cig purchases in my paypal history the other day. It averages out at £25 a week, which is pretty much what I used to spend on cigarettes. For that outlay though, I must have enough gear to last at least a year. So the cost should gradually come down. So i guess it's true, vaping is cheaper than the fags Anyone else in pocket?

Had it not been for the TECC sale Buck I would have been squids in, about £19 a month my vaping outlay, which as was I spending a truly eye popping and extremely embarassing £70 a WEEK on cigarettes is a huge and much needed ( on all levels )saving for me.
As it is I haven't but long term I will, all my ecig purchases I regard as the best investment I've ever made, as I sincerely hope to never ever smoke again.

I'll have to come back to this one lol.
Being a newbie, I've probably spent a lot more lately getting started, than I intend to in the future.
I'm hoping from now on, to be mainly buying juice & maybe the odd attie. So, hopefully no more than on average £20 a month. Can't actually afford any more than that right now anyway.

Hi buckowski, As a former 40 plus a day smoker, I spent over 90 of your Earth £'s a week on SuperKings Black ... Now a vaper, I might go through a couple of atomisers and around 20ml of e-liquid or so a week. I mix some of my own e-liquids. So I would put my average weekly costs at around £12 for e-liquid and £8 for atomisers etc. The TECC sale cost me the best part of 1000 Earth £'s. However, combined wth all the hardware and fluids that I had already purchased over the past 18 months ... I need purchase absolutely nothing for the next couple of your Earth years or more. Hardware I'm using .... TECC & TW Stick, 510 & Mega 510 variants, Classic pen style 801's, Super mini's, Micro pipes, TECC Tornado & Mega Tornado with full range attachments. Please feel free to ask my personal opinion on any of the above hardware.Of course buckowski, at my age in your Earth years .. I just hope I get the time to use it all ..

I used to keep track of how much I was spending on vaping compared to smoking, but all I now know for certain is that where in the past there was too much month left after the money ran out, it's now the other way round. I was a very heavy smoker - on a bad day over 50 a day However, I decided to just put in the figure of 35 a day when I created my ticker so it sort of reflected the true amount I was saving.

Hi Buckowski, on vaping i spend a lot less than i used too on cheap cigs, i'm £800 in pocket and fingers crossed enough stuff to last me 2 years. I don't mind stocking.....i ain't planning on going back to cigs any time soon If the future is good then i'll sit back and save more, if not i'll just keep my stock bumped-up

Great thread !! In 12 months I would roughly go through : 2-3 M4 Atomisers = £10 1-2 M4 Batteries = £10 1 Riva Battery = £10 500ml FA Juice = £80 500ml DK Juice = £50 So in total just over 150 squid a year or about about £13 a month ...... I actually spend more on haircuts these days than I do on my Nicotine habit !!

I've just had mine cut, it's went up to £8 and I'm whinging about that. But the £38 cut has made me more stable about it

As for spending 38 squid on a haircut, I just hang my wet head upside down over the bath and cut the ends off once a month. My hair is now one meter long from crown to longest and I haven't put my hard-earned into a h/dresser's pocket for around 15 years LOL. Fox
