How Much Do You Vape

[LordOdin]

@Miss Pepper yeah it's good that your all staying off the ciggies but to a vaper that doesn't make his/her own juice and uses as much as you guys the cost must be astronomical lol, probably on an even key with smoking, I don't know the price of ciggies as always rolled my own, plus if you like some of the more expensive juices you would need to take out a loan just to get by lol.

Most expensive juice I buy, a week would cost a little over £20 if I paid full price. Oneshot or self mixed less than a fiver. That's per week.

I'd encourage everyone to get to grips with at least one diy recipe or even oneshots or bottleshots so the overall cost to vape is minimal.
Like you say shop bought can soon become costly.
I was on 3x 30ml bottles a day @ £15 each which turned me to diy.

When I used to vape custard etc, I would buy jam on toast as a short fill from the shop as an alternative to DIY, didn't find it expensive (no, I don't earn loads either), back then I had a vape budget and it still came under it.

My DIY custards would have upto 8 flavours in it and I would always make a minimum of 1L.

I think cigarettes are about £10 a packet now, so technically £70pw, even a load of shop made juice comes in well under that.

Vaping is as cheap, or expensive, as we want it to be.

I buy 10ml of mixed fruit (£2),
add 350-490ml of pg/VG (£0 as it's bulk buy from a few years ago)
= shake it and it's ready to go,
I have a bottle of menthol of upto 18mg nic (99p) of which I add a few drops to my tank when I fill up.
= £2.99 cost for upto 500ml of juice

Many of us advocate keeping mixing simple, it keeps costs down.

The longer you vape, get to know what you like, what you don't, you will find ways to keep costs down, one of them may be DIY.

No better way of putting it.

Maybe when I have a bit more experience I might try it, I don't think I will be as heavy vaper as I was a smoker, smoking was costing me a fortune, in the first 2 weeks I had saved enough to get my first 2 mods and a couple of pod systems which I am quite happy with

My liquid is probably about 50p per day.
I dont mix my own but the liquid I use most is 88vape liquorice £1 for 10ml wich I buy with a higher nic content than I use and dilute with VG.
When I 1st started vaping with a simple vape pen liquorice was my favorite flavour, when I started using mods and tanks after awile the flavour got to much so stopped using it. I thought about diluting it with vg a few times but would reduce nic strengh so no good. Then the penny dropped, 'why not buy higher nic content and dilute it?' So done some calculations and gave it a try. Adding 4.5ml of VG to a 10ml 16mg bottle of 70% pg liquid gives me a 50/50 11mg (or close enough) liquid that I can happily vape all day.

 

[LordOdin]

50p that's not bad, I use 88Vape, I like there salt nics, 2 of my favourites atm, Berries and Tobacco.

Theres always some offers on somewhere for shortfills for DTL to take advantage of aswell for example

from £1.99 add a nic shot and you have 60ml of 3mg liquid for under £3
