First, I’d like to just quickly mention that I’d argue that you’re not necessarily wasting money on vaping if you’re choosing to vape as a safer alternative to smoking (95% less harmful according to Public Health England). Also, a lot of people switch to vaping with the goal of eventually quitting, so those people won’t vape for 10+ years.

I have been vaping a little over 2 months and I probably have wasted $100 on juice that I'll never use and just items I try out and don't like. I was wondering what others have thought being a waste of money.

ardelleg Super Member Verified Member ECF Veteran

I have gone pretty crazy since I started. Granted, there is a learning curve. Also, it takes a loooooong time to find the right juice and the setup that works for you. I have found what works for me, and now whatever I spend on maintenance (cartos, juice, batteries, etc.) is less than the 250 a month I would slend on cigarettes.

I've bought juices that I didn't care for and just let them sit. Went back to them later and either they or my taste changed because I was able to enjoy most of them. Those that I didn't, I've passed on to someone else that would like them. I'm with those that feel like I haven't wasted a single dime. I'm a very happy non-smoker!
