After 4 years of vaping, I'm still wondering when I'm going to start saving money from not smoking...

I actually started vaping to save money and that has been a success. I just wish I could afford to buy enough juice to let it steep properly. I buy 2 50 mil bottles at a time and the second one starts tasting right about 3/4 of the way through. Luckily butterscotch and caramel are pretty good fresh out of the mail.

Just got another shipment of TFA in today. 16 of the 4oz bottles are new. This is getting out of hand.

Right there with you. I learn of a new juice vendor or promotion about every day and I just can't resist. Probably have enough to last me about a year, even with giving away a few small bottles here and there to friends.

Even so, it's roughly half the cost of my old 1/2-pack-a-day smoking habit, but would probably be about the same cost if I went with original gear instead of clones.

Hopefully you've signed up as a wholesale account with TFA...That'll save you a ton

Of course I have. I shudder to think what this would've cost with a regular account

I've seen a bunch of people who haven't set one up....worst waste of money if you DIY. I talked to a guy who buys his in the 30ml (I think) bottles, and has bought like 50 flavors, without a wholesale acct. I get my 4oz bottles for almost the dame price as his...

I finally dropped to 0 nic a month ago. I rarely touch it now.

I'm at 2mg, but I just can't seem to shy away from the nic. The plus side of 2mg though, is a 500ml bottle of 60mg base last me foooooorever.

You won't miss the nic as much as you think you will. I feel amazing.

Me too! I'm about a month nic free. Not really missing the nic. Love getting to mess with flavors.

I just dropped to 5mg and I'm seriously considering bumping it back up to 7mg :(

Well think of the medical bills! Although you've spent a fuckload on vaping(lol haven't we all) you can't put a price on your health

What're your favorite mods/rbas??

I'm not a fan of spending assloads of money on authentic mechs. My favorite set up is the igo-w3 on the magneto or the kayfun clone on the king clone.

I use the igo-w3 the most by far, and I use it in dual coil mode. I like it over the igo-w because its 22mm and has adjustable airflow.

I'm seeing 30 4oz bottles. That's about 3600ml of concentrate. Assuming you did everything at 20%,that would make 600 30ml bottles. I go through 4 of those a month so that's 150 months or 12.5 YEARS worth of juice. Considering PG has a shelf life of 3 years tops, you'll be tossing a lot of that concentrate.

However I'm not one to judge because according to my estimates, I have enough to do 4.5 years worth.

I supply juice for a bunch of my friends, not 100% personal use :P

I smoked a pack a day and get paid every two weeks... so I try to make it appoint to leave my vaping budget 70 bucks a paycheck... gone over a few times, but I still think I'm saving me
