Is vaping proving to be more expensive than you expected?

I think I spend around £45-£50 per month on shortfills/nic shots and a few bottles of salts. Add and extra £10 when I need to buy cotton and mesh strips, but that's not every month (I don't like cheap cotton as it doesn't play nice with mesh).

Still less than what I was spending per week on cigs.

I'd love to DIY but I doubt I'd ever get the same enjoyment I do from a bottle of Supergood Butter 02 or 06.

It * could * be really cheap, but I keep seeing nice new things that I want to try. It's still probably less than I would have spent on tobacco though.

I used to spend roughly £50+ and a couple of quid extra for my Liquorice Papers. That's like £210 a month, i have spent way over that in the past though not every Month. I have tried to cut down on buying Vaping Gear but find there's always something else i want/need. Noticed my spending now is mainly in the AIO Market and i could do with Deeper Pockets and Shorter Arms. I have i think all The AIO Devices and Bridges i wanted so can probably Kerb my spending on them. RTA's i think i only want the Pioneer 1.5 but not spending £35 on one. I did buy another Luxe X Pro which has cost me extra with the Coils been a 10er a Pack, also some Salts that i am actually loving so some more of them probably, freebase i have loads of so ok there as well.

I am looking into using concentrates as a way of reducing costs and avoiding this potential vape tax. I thought they were cheaper than premade shotfills.

Most of what I vape is DIY I have a few that I buy from companies I have used for years but I enjoy coming up with recipes.

throwing away the flavours and just puffing nic will save you all some cash

My fear about DIY Liquids is getting addicted to doing that instead. You seem to be a Custard Addict, like myself.

Custard, tobacco and dessert flavours are my go to.

For me, more expensive, because the vaping device that I gave up with was the Juul 2 and after 3 years I'm still on it because I haven't found anything that satisfies like it does, but the pods are so expensive!

Late last year I tried to take a more level headed look at my vape gear and juice supplies and see if I could be a bit more rational about buying when I need it rather than every time I saw something new as my vape shelf has gradually grown into four vape shelves and it was looking like I needed a fifth.

I emptied out my fridge and realised I had over 7 litres of juice and enough nic to last a few years - and have more building supplies to last a lifetime.

In the last 6 months I've bought two 100ml shortfills, a favourite I hadn't seen in years, and a mod from the classies that I couldn't resist. In the last 6 months I've spent 70 quid.

I've finally got a grip on my shinyitis, and I'm going to try to continue to only buy stuff when I need it, but at the moment the only thing I think I'm likely to need is replacement batteries and some MTL juices in the next 6 months. After 6 months it still seems wierd..

I.
