Nowadays, a starter vape is surprisingly affordable. These devices are easy to use and come in a variety of styles and performances. They are called disposables, pod system, cigalikes, all in one (AIOs), vape pen, MTL tanks, with small box mods. Prices are usually between:

Disposable vapes : $5 to $10

Pod Systems: $10 to $30

Vape pens: $15 – $35

MTL starter kits: $30 – $60

These price ranges are standard, but some devices cost more. The more expensive vapes are often better made, have a more innovative design and rugged durability, but they may not perform any better.

Replacement coils

All vapes require a heating coil to be replaced. You must include coil costs in your calculations. Coils, which can be found in cartridges, pods or metal housings, cost between $1 and $5 per coil. The coils should be changed about once a month (but can sometimes go longer).

The average person vapes between 1 and 10 milliliters per day. However, most people fall into the lower half of this range. The amount of e-liquid you consume will depend on your device’s vapor output, the strength of the juice , and your nicotine preference.How much does vape juice cost?

Vape Juice should be considered when calculating vaping costs. Pre-filled devices are generally less expensive than refillable ones. The amount of vape liquid you receive is only a fraction of what you would get if you bought a bottle. A refillable device will prove much cheaper than a prefilled one.

Pre-filled devices
The majority of prefilled devices only hold a small amount, typically around 1 mL. The cost is the same whether you buy them in bulk or individually, and it’s about $3-7 each. They will last between one and two days on average before they need to be replaced. Although they’re convenient, refilling is more cost-effective.

The bottle
The bottle sizes for e-juice range from 10ml to 120ml. The price of e-juice can vary and is not always predictable by bottle size. Bottles of vape liquid range in price from $10 to $30.

Here are some more cost-saving ideas

Most older devices are offered at a discounted price. Check to see if the shop you frequent has a clearance section. Check out online forums and vape-related groups on Facebook to find very cheap second-hand vapes.

There are many vape juice brands that offer excellent flavors for a fraction the cost of “premium” brands.

You can save even more if you decide to take up vaping as a hobby. Wrapping your coils yourself and making your own vape liquid are two of the most cost-effective methods.

Summary

You can spend as little as $50 on a vape pen and replacement coils for the first month. A box mod with an MTL tank and coils can cost up to $120. You can expect to pay $30-60 per month on average for coils and liquid. In both cases, if you spend around $6 per day on cigarettes, you’ll start saving by the end of the month.

Disposables vapes and pods are very affordable upfront, but their monthly cost will increase depending on how much you use them. If you do not want to make separate purchases or go through the trial-and-error process, disposable vapes and prefilled pods are a great and practical option. They’re also by far the simplest way to vape.

What about advanced vapers?

The majority of vapers are happy with the initial purchase and will not move on to these categories. Some vapers will want to spice up their experience.

The majority of vapes designed for intermediate vapers fall into one product category: high wattage mods with sub-ohm tanks. Standard dual-battery vape mods can cost between $30 and $90- and sub ohm tanks are usually around $30-50. These kits can be purchased for between $40 and $100. Of course, there are more expensive options. However, in most cases these items can be considered hobbyists.

Hobbyists use high-end vape gear, such as mechanical mods and multi-battery devices. There are ways to cut costs when you go down that path (read more in the next section), but most vapers will end up spending more money on their vape equipment than a hobbyist.

The price of e-liquid varies depending on the level of vaper. Sub-ohm tanks, large rebuildable atomizers and MTL atomizers consume e-liquid in a similar way to beginners. Many vapers also make their own juice while others consume many bottles of premium liquid per week.
