My first few months were very expensive, but I could, if I need to, vape pretty much for free for the next 6 months with the stuff I've accumulated!

Likewise, Dave..

To be fair, "to the powers that be" are e cigs cheaper if thier healthier?

I mean if you live longer, its gonna cost more!!! your rent, food, beer, beer and even more beer won't be free in those extra years

So are the government really just trying to save us money in the long term

Now if those nice governments and the healthy tobacco industry would just get together and go beyond just e-cigs and put minimum levels on things like cyanide, we could all save even more money

So come on everybody, stop being ungrateful to those bodies that are trying to save us money (real smoke, extra high cyanide ) remember the sooner you reach this state the richer your kids will be

Sorry, I'm lost with this Can you put it differently/simpler for those who may not understand.

Sorry I was just being sarcastic. Basically if E-cigs are healthier you could live longer. If you live longer it costs more money. So a government ban on e-cigs with a minimum limit on the cyanide in the only alternative, real cigs and we wouldn't live as long. Hence we would save money.

Fair point and thanks for the simpler explanation.

Its expensive to start off, but I imagine as time passes vaping will get much cheaper especially if you get a repairable atty, a mod battery and mix your own stuff.

I used to smoke 7gm of GV a week, but went to Belgium to buy it. Total cost with papers and filters about £1.50 a day.

In the month since I switched, I've spent over £600 on e-cig stuff, but it should last me a while!

I applaud your making the switch. I don't think I would have bothered switching to vaping if I only smoked 7g of tobacco per week at the cost you mention. Well done and I hope your vaping experience continues to be good.

Typo? I don't think anyone would bother going to Belgium to get tobacco if they only used a quarter of an ounce a week.

I thought that, or he was counting the cost of the journey into the £1.50 a day Or they saw him coming in belgium around £1.50 a gram of baccy would be about £74.50 for a 50 gram pouch and say 50p for papers and a box of matches.

Just had my credit card bill - it seems that I managed to spend over a grand on vaping stuff last month.

Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch

[clockworks]

There are just so many mods, parts, juices and flavours out there, and I want most of them!
I really thought that I'd spent around £500. It's amazing how fast it can add up when you are spending £20 to £50 at a time, plus a couple of bigger orders. That's my spending money gone for the next couple of months.

[Pieboi]

For me, my spending spree is on flavours
fook "wanting"
im "having" lolol

You know it & i know it.. you'll buy more ;D

After i hit the grand mark i told myself that was it for a month or so... that lasted around 5, maybe 6 days. when i got my pay cheque i was already planing what i wanted to get lol

It does really build up thou, you start off with a small £50 order, before you know it you've ordered 20 of these "little" orders.
dont - what ever you do, look at what you have bought all together. it wont be pritty lol, it looks like alot of stuff on paper...but bah
i got a picture of all my stuff at about a grands worth somewere, ofc it's grown a little (alot) since then

Ordered another £100 worth of flavours & other little bits just in the last 3 days...
But this will defently... probably... most likely be it, until next month.

edit; not including 60+ 5ml, 20 10ml & 18 30ml empty bottles - and the 3 orders since then. & there are another 13 flavours in the riva box in the right hand corner, there shite ones i dont like thou. also there are a few juices behind the screen, in the dark - brewing. is depressing when i look at it..

Pieboi you're incorrigible! Unfair to try to capitalise on your profligacy, but please put me at the top of your list when you decide to sell them on.

It's not my fault, it's the vendors... they somehow make everything looks soo.. nomy nom nom & shiney

& will do

Pieboi your collection is looking good

Just thought I'd update on this thread I started a while back.

I initially started this thread because I was a little worried how rapidly my expenditure was accumulating. My buying is calming down now. Compared to some (clockworks' £1000 last month) I spend hardly anything but I never spent much on stinkies anyway (just over £10 a week).

I'm now a RY4 fanatic and I'm considering buying in bulk from China for the (INCREDIBLY RIDICULOUS) cheap e-liquids meaning 10ml costs pence not pounds.

I've spent around £160 (???) really not too sure how much... I write it all down... just not added it all up yet. 80% of that spending was in the first few weeks.

In a few more weeks I'll be saving

Also the generosity of some members on UKV is incredible, so thank you. You know who you are!

..... Nice to see that some of you guys have kicked your tobacco addiction!
