If you really want long term savings… how about ditch your nicotine habit? That’s what - $1,500 per year? $100,000 over your lifetime?

Oh, and medical bills on top of that. Hard to estimate that, but it could be more.

I can think of something better to spend $100,000 on. Slot machines at a Casino would be a better option for example.

It’s not habit, it’s an addiction. Telling people to just quit smoking or vaping as if it’s that easy is ridiculous. People spend their whole lives trying to give up nicotine.

I spend maybe $60 a year on vaping and I do it a lot. Key is though, mix your own juice and build your own coils.

A premade coil costs a few bucks. Replacing the cotton and wire in a diy coil is maybe a nickel. A bottle of premade juice is $20 these days where I am. Mixing my own costs at most, a dollar and that’s if I use more expensive flavor additives.

I won’t pretend it’s good for you, but if you’re gonna do it, no sense in half assing it and spending way more than you need. Plus it’s fun to experiment with new custom flavors.

Juice is sooooo easy to make too.

Where do you get flavors nowadays? I have a ton on backup from years back but when I looked online, prices at my normal places seem insane. I mainly need cap sweet strawberry and vanilla custard v2 (the one without diacetyl or whatever)

I’ve had good luck with nicotine giant, but pretty much everywhere has stock issues. They definitely carry both of those flavors but no stock at the moment.

That’s absolutely flat out wrong and honestly concerning.

For a start nicotine addiction (vaping) has not been proven to have any long term health strain on the medical system. To say having a gambling problem is better is just crazy.

You realise the difference between nicotine addiction and gambling addiction right?
