GunJackwell it depends on the time scales as well though and what you buy etc, so far my outlay on vape stuff dwarfs what I would of spent on smoking, in theory I have 5 years worth of most stuff (in practice it will probably all cease to function well before that) and if I didn't buy any "new stuff" then over several years the day to day costs of vaping will be minimal, but just like when I embarked on homebrew booze 20 years ago, it cost more than a years worth of shop bought stuff to get setup and it didn't hit break even for over 18 months so really there were no appreciable savings in costs under 2 years, and vapeing is similar in this regazrd for me, but of course everyone is different, but even so the day to day costs of vaping is high right now compared to smoking and set to get higher in some countries, especially where the e-juice is being subjected to taxes in excess of 40p /ml whilst fags are generating maybe half that rate of taxation of course it depends on what you buy, I've never been one for jumping on every new bandwagon going  cost-saving was my second reason for switching after health, and it's damned easy to do. I also think I'm lucky as I found "my flavour" pretty early on so haven't wasted loads trying every flavour under the sun and have been diy'ing it for almost 3 years. I could go on, but if you're not looking at breaking even for 18 months or so you probably wouldn't be interested anyway....... |

personally I read that and found it very hard to believe... I've spent £1600 in 3.5 years of vaping, but that includes:- 1. the nic base I've used already (started diy after 6 months) and the 4.7 litres I have in the freezer, 2. 4 mods in-use and 5 spare unused in the vape drawer, along with 3. 3-4 unused spare tanks and about 400 pre-made coil&wicks. Would have spent what's in my signature on roll-ups, and that's without tobacco inflation added in  ...unless they're only really comparing to disposable cig-a-likes or something.... |

yes, this is from last summer, but it also sparked a debate about the quality of science carried out by various organisations which concluded that research carried out by BT is more likely to be of a higher scientific quality than a lot of the anti-vaping camp.... it's the stigma of BT that is a problem to a lot in PH

Why does`nt that "muppet" Drakeford, remove e-cigs from the proposed bill. Being as the rest of it`s content would benefit the Welsh public. I only hope that Welsh vapers & supporters vote out this idiot at the forthcoming elections. First battle won, now onwards to win the `war` against vapers. I think if the Cons/LibDems form either a majority or coalition govt after May's elections, this is what will probably happen - the rest of the measures in the bill were reasonable and I think would be of benefit to us in Wales...fingers crossed |

Yes, it is good news, but with a double edge to it. They only voted against in retaliation and not based on common sense. Nor was the block in place because they felt it would be bad for the health of ex-smokers. true, but what is does do is get it off the books until after the Assembly elections in May, when there's a good chance that Labour won't be in government. My vote's already decided as the Labour AM only had a 1500 majority last time out, so I'll be voting for the nearest party (even though it goes against the grain as it's a Conservative, but they along with the LibDems have been totally supportive on this issue) |
