How to make saving?

[Gregory]

Hi everybody,

I’ve been smoking for five years now; I’m 30 and find it difficult since I often spend a little amount of money on it. So, my question is, how do you manage to make saving? Electronic cigarettes really help but sometimes I tend to smoke traditional one though I really want to stop it for better. I’d appreciated if anyone can give some advices or share his/her experiences.

The savings vs real ciggies are immediate and apparent. If you use a cheap vv system like a twist batt and a mini protank or evods. With 10ml of juice lasting me a week and costing £5 and a packet of stinkies £8.40 per day. The two sticky areas for cost saving are buying more mods and resorting to a stinkie now and then. My advise is get a vv ego style battery and two evods or similar. Load one up with your everyday vape juice at the correct strength for you. Load one up with 0 nic juice of a different flavour. That way 9 times out if ten you will use the everyday vape juice. If you want to really have a good vaping sesh on a break or of an evening go for the 0 nic juice and really produce great clouds if smoke instead of reaching for the real ones

Once you bought the right kit plus batteries and enough tanks, it's just a case of having to top up eliquid occasionally which is cheap compared to big prices on tobacco products daily....

What the savings are comes down to how much you spend on smoking mostly.

An average smoker smokes 20 a day - if you but normal cigarettes that's £8 a day - £56 a week.
If you smoke rolling tobacco that's probably about 50g of baccy a week £20 a week or so if you include filters/papers.

A basic starter kit that's OK quality is about £20 for 1 eGo battery 1 clearomiser and a bottle of e-liquid
A more advanced starter kit is about £40-50 (two egos a couple of clearomisers some liquid and a charging plug)
A mid ranged mod kit, like an MVP, a Vamo or an SVD will set you back about £40-£70 (including batteries and charger if required)

Once you have a battery setup that you like, then you're looking at replacement heads and e-liquid.

A 20 a day smoker will get through something like 30-40ml of e-liquid a week which will cost around £10 a week and a replacement head about £2 every other week.

If you vape less then you'll use less liquid and heads. You can rebuild your own heads for lots less as well as make your own e-liquid.

Once you have the initial outlay out of the way the running costs are much smaller presently versus tobacco smoking.

Obviously there are all kinds of health benefits too.

Thanks a lot for advices; I smoke about 8 or 10 a day. According to you and honestly which one are advantageous, electronic or real cigarettes? I am a kind of cigg addicted and I can’t hide that I don’t really know how to make saving even on other budget items (electricity, heating, water…)

If you're not sure whether it'll be good for you the best thing is to get a cheap simple starter kit for around £20 - an eGo battery a clearomiser and a bottle of e-liquid and try it out.

Get high strength liquid and see how you go from there. Lots of people give up smoking "by accident" by switching to vaping instead. they had no plans to quit smoking but thought the'y use an e-cig to smoke indoors or when it was inconvenient to smoke and liked vaping so much better that they changed completely.

What's best for you comes down to personal preference in the end.

many of us have been in your skin.






probably in the first two months you can't save a lot. one or two starter kits, additional batteries, maybe a spinner, clearos, spare heads .... not to mention liquids. This can be a major part of the cost.... buying 10, 15 or 30ml bottles which you don't like and if they end in a dustbin or unused..

I bought the starter kit from greatevape for £25, put in an extra battery for £9 & upgraded to the bottom coiled tank at an extra £3.

The 2 batteries are a must as can take a while to charge. This set up includes 20ml of fluid & I picked up 6 bottles for £10 off darkstar. Was 20 a day, now none and go through about 3-5ml a day so that set up will last a wee bit.

I stuck with minty flavours as there are strange names out there. Also if any shops near you, some let you try a flavour before buying.

All the best as it is not the same but sometimes better. I love the fact I'm not coughing my lungs up at 6am on the way to work.

It varies from person to person. I switched to vaping and didn't smoke again. Some people prefer to combine a reduction in cigarettes with a combination of both. Some taper off smoking. I used to smoke ten a day, which worked out about £30 a week (depends on brand).

I bought a starter kit for a tenner and 10ml of juice. So even in the first week I saved £16.

More than half the gear i bought in my first 2 months is unwanted gear & i have spent more than i wanted to, but, the way i feel now i don't smoke outweighs all of the cost. I have reached a point where my vape set up is in place & what it will cost from now on is only as expensive as i make it.
If you want to quit the smokes & if you want to vape instead you could cut some corners & save some unnecessary spending. It doesn't have to be pricey & the area of vaping which concerns the hobbyist or collector or even the general magpie is only a personal choice for people.

You asked a good question. I feel similar myself & i can't justify spending a packet when all i want is a nice quality vape. Not everyone is the same & i can't speak for anyone else but if i was starting over again i would bypass certain gear & go straight for a couple of budget dripping atomizers, the necessary coil wire & wick, the little tool kit (Most of that i already had) & a couple of bona fide mechanical mods & 4 batteries with charger. Yes there are a few other necessities like a resistance/ohm reader for coil building & some other tit bits but the initial outlay would make for a cheap year compared to smoking.
Not everyone will agree with me but i'm just conveying to you straight up what i think. If you want to make the switch & need advice at each purchase , i would be happy to help or advise & i'm certain i would not be alone around here. Just ask.
