How much money have you wasted on unvapable eliquid, cigalikes that taste like plastic and atomizers that break or stop working quickly?

[ronnbert]

just wasted $90 on a box of Nicoticket's. Guess that's marketing done well. Wakonda, Strawnilla, Frenilla, Custards Last Stand, and Absolute Crème Brulee - Found the stuff repulsive. Wakonda was horrifying - pretty much resembled regurgitated aspartame vomit, with a little less acidity.

Other then that, really not too much. $60 or so on ego-C batteries when I started and some t3d tanks that worked like permanent vacationers on welfare.

As a big fan of Nicoticket juice I will tell you to get verified if you aren't and sell those juices on the classifieds. You can recoup at least half if your money very fast or set them as much as 3/4 the asking price and you will still see those juices gone within a few days. All of those are wonderful juices, even though they didn't hit for you, others will enjoy them. Keep in mind everyone has different tastes, because I love everything I have gotten from Nicoticket. Just trying to help you recover some of your "losses".

Thanks Ronnbert, maybe I'll do that this weekend. As long as the buyer has tried these before and wants them again. I been taking them to the Vape Lounge I visit to trade them off, but I haven't found anyone that likes these yet. Everyones just presents the yuk face. Its tough for me to believe that someone would enjoy these.

ultimate starter kit by v2cigs + $200 in carts so im stocked like i did with my cigs (always had 6 cartons at least in my closet.. yes im like a human hamster when it comes to hoarding supplies) from them thinking THIS IS IT, IM QUITTING FINALLY!

2 years later I I take them back out and meh... I wanna throw them out, well I stumbled upon another company and bam! I quit within a week and lowered my cig in take of 2 packs a day to 1-10 cigs then the last of those 2 days was 1-2.

unfortunately I also wasted about $200 on ejuices I absolutely HATE and no one wants them, I tried PIF here but only was able to trade 1 to a nice guy recently.
also bought the mvp 2 + 2 pro tanks and coils and I just don't like this thing, something about it, I just don't so I got that for sale in the classifieds here really cheap too, I know ill lose money but I just want it out of my house but I don't want to lose all the money I spent on it

anyways yeah so I think I wasted in total of my first year trying to vape with v2 and then dec 2014, about... $700... >.<

but now I know what I like for hardware and ejuices. I figured I will spend about $1000 or less on ejuices, batteries, supplies etc a year compared to $3000-4000 on cigs, depended if I bought online, so works for me

Unless something happened to the juice in shipping if you bought from the site, people will be more than happy to buy them. Nicoticket moves really fast on the classifieds, especially at a good price. There are many people on this forum who love the juice. Like I said, the better you price them, the faster they will sell. Even at 3/4 of the price I can almost promise they will be gone in a day or two.

They are considered sweeter juice, which a bunch of people like, and they do grow better with age, I have bought some that were made last March and they were delicious!

Also, keep in mind that you must meet a minimum post limit to become verified and the process does take a bit of time. Check out the requirements and submit to be verified as soon as possible!

Well, cannot count how much money I spent for my DIYing mistakes. But it is a progress. I didn't count it as failure if I did not get a flavor right on spot and just threw it away eventually. But that is way better than throwing money away because certain brands keep supplying me s*** juices!!! Expensive yet not worthy!

I spent 75 bucks on a blu. It helped for like a day then filters would go out to fast. I quit using I think by day 3

Thank Gawd it's a cheaper hobby than cigarettes.

Cigarettes were a hobby?

Well it would be a dumb idea to be in sales, and NOT be a good marketer.

Ejuice companies come and go in terms of popularity. When I started, I can name 5 brands that wouldn't last 5 minutes in the classifieds.....they were snapped up.

Now, you can barely sell them at all, or people never even heard of them.

this is a fast moving business with a lot of changes going on every day. Make hay while the sun shines, right?

That said, aggressive marketing is a huge turn off for me, as it is for many people, so I just avoid those who engage in it.

At least a few hundred dollars. My pet peeve is the horrible little e juice stores that charge 9$ a 12ML bottle for absolute garbage. I don't know how people can even smoke that cheap stuff! Either DIY or invest in good juice!!!! And I can not begin to tell you how much I have invested in tanks.. Listen up, Kayfun, 26ga kanthal, IPV4, and Japanese cotton; there--you never have to buy a coil, tank, or mod again!!!!

Update, like what everyone says about being a lesson, and keeping things as backup, that's why I wanted the blow atomizers. Anyhow, I'm adding $20 to wasted money on the Crystal XL DBC. Conversing with the company now, 2nd atomizer in just 2 wks and it's not my go to, never leaves the house and been alternating between 4 tanks. I had chalked that up to the battery problem but now it's leaking on the outside and gurgling on the inside, after Vaping all night just fine, plus I now have to unscrew it from the battery to the point it wobbles to get it to work. Either I got a defective one or it's just a poorly made tank. Unless the company (Vapage) has answers or replacement to try again, I will not be buying the expensive replacement atomizers and retire it to a back up, if I can get it to stop gurgling and licking.

I was just thinking... I spent $6000 on video games in the last 2 years so I guess losing $700 on ecigs stuff isn't that bad..

I posted in another thread... I am a hardcore gamer

I used to spend thousands on musical equipment when I was in my teens - 20s as well

Either DIY or invest in good juice!!!!!

I can relate!
