Hello fellow vape apes! Kinda new to the forum but been lurking for a long time, this my first thread I'm starting and I'm doing it just to get something off my chest a bit. I know the topic has been covered before but I didn't feel like necroing older topics, apologies if posting in existing threads is the preferred way.
Anyways, I gave up smokes and took up vaping at the end of August 2016 and since then have gone from a cig-a-like to my first starter mod ( Endura T22 ) and currently using a Coolfire 4 TC100 and a Tsunami 22 or a Crown 2. Naturally moving on to sub ohming I knew there would be increased costs due to the increased juice consumption but I was cool with it as my ADV juice cost me 30 quid a bottle which I considered reasonable.
Pre-TPD I read a lot of things about juice suppliers and vendors saying they would keep the prices more or less the same but this doesn't seem to be the case at all presently. I know its been only a few days but its not looking very promising at the moment as I've been looking at the pricing on the afore mentioned liquid I use and the going rate for a 10ml bottle appears to be £4.99... Yeah, 49 quid for 100ml... a price hike of 19 quid basically. ( here comes the rant )
For that sort of price some of the juice companies can quite frankly get stuffed! One of the main reasons I switched to vaping was because of the reduced costs but having done some rough calculations, it would seem that if I wanted to carry on vaping as I did pre-tpd, which would be approximately 10ml per day it would cost me around £150 per month ( not including stuff like any potential stock coils or rebuildable accessories ). This is ofcourse based on current prices and maybe in time, once the suppliers have their stock sorted they will look at offering multipacks at a reduced price or nic-shots and some of them already do but thats not really the point.
Fun fact... it would cost me around £100 a month if I went back to rollies, as in actual smoking instead of vaping. £50 quid less.
This is hardly the end of vaping for me, I will simply vote with my wallet as I always do and carry on my work with getting my DIY juices going and I have no problem ordering pre-bottled liquids from One Pound Eliquids. I tried them out recently and they are actually rather good. 100ml of TPD compliant juice for a tenner, can't complain. If I really want to keep my costs in check, I still have mtl tanks and will simply go back to mtl. I'm just quite disapointed at some of the juice companies if this really is how they wish to play it.
