Hard to say. I can easily get by with $0-$20 for a month but then spend a few hundred dollars on a new mod, atty, and assorted and sundry. But if I'm not buying I have no real issue using what I already have and not running up a bill at all.
Jebbn Ultra Member ECF Veteran
theoretically I just have to buy vg, maybe 100mls a month and batteries every once in a while.

On average, over the past 3 years my vaping hobby has cost me about 450 Euros ($500) per month.
Wow1420 Ultra Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
I literally went through all of 2018 and 2019 without spending a cent. I figure the cost of supplies used up during that time averaged $1 a week, for nic, pg, menthol crystals for my DIY, some rayon and a few inches of wire. One mod, 2 RTAs, 2 batteries used during that time. Lets say $100 for the hardware (it actually was less than that on sale).

Aceman12 Senior Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
It does eventually subside. At least it did for me. I spent about 400 bucks the first month. I continued to spend about 200 a month for the next 3. You have to try a bunch of stuff in the beginning then you find your rhythm. Now I'm cruising at 50 a month on juice and thats it. I'm 1800ish in the green.

I'm 3.5 months in to vaping and I'm still on the search for getting the right setup. I'm pretty close now, but I think searching, researching, and shopping for vape accessories is now the addiction, lol. But I forsee my monthly cost to be any where around 80-100 which is half of what I was spending on analogs.
