These Are the 3 Best Ways to Save Money on Vape Gear

People switch from smoking to vaping for many reasons. It’s not always just a matter of using vaping to help yourself quit smoking – though that’s certainly the biggest factor for most people – and it’s not just a matter of health either.

Although those who vape certainly hope that it will reduce the harm associated with nicotine use, no one is under the illusion that vaping is as safe as not using nicotine at all. 

One thing that no one can argue with is that smoking is incredibly expensive, and switching to vaping is a great way to save money. In the United States, the price of a pack of cigarettes averages $8.00.

That’s over $2,900 spent on cigarettes per year for a pack-a-day smoker – and in some states, cigarettes cost even more than that. Vaping products, on the other hand, are significantly cheaper than cigarettes. In many cases, tobacco taxes don’t even apply to e-liquid. 

The amount of money that you spend on vape gear, however, can vary significantly depending on how you vape and how you shop for vaping products. It’s entirely possible, in fact, to switch to vaping without saving any money at all compared to smoking.

Have you noticed after vaping for a while that the savings you expected never quite materialized? If that’s the case, this is the article for you. You’re going to learn why you’re spending more on vaping than you need to and what you can do to start saving hundreds of dollars per year.

Join the Marketing List at Your Local Vape Shop

Have you noticed that just about every small business seems to have a fancy tablet-based point of sale system these days?

Those internet-enabled systems aren’t just popular because they’re easy to use and help to simplify inventory management, although those are certainly two strong selling points.

They’re also popular because they provide an easy way for small businesses to capture customers’ contact information for marketing purposes.

In this age of pervasive spam and commercialism, you might immediately jump to the conclusion that joining a company’s marketing list is the last thing you’d ever want to do.

The truth is, though, that you always want to hear from a business if you’re going to patronize it either way because that’s the best way to find out about the latest sales and promotions.

So, the next time you go to vaporchasers.com or another vape shop, make sure that they have your phone number and email address – and take advantage of sales when you find out about them.

Switch to a Device That Uses Less E-Liquid

Have you been vaping for a while? If you have, there’s a good chance that you’ve gradually upgraded your vaping hardware along the way. Maybe you’ve even been vaping long enough to remember the cigarette-shaped “cigalikes” that were popular a decade or so ago.

If you’ve been vaping that long, it’s highly likely that the device you’re currently using is something that produces very large vapor clouds – perhaps a sub-ohm mod with a mesh coil tank. 

Sub-ohm vaping has a serious issue, however, and the issue is that the devices and tanks have only become more powerful with time. You’ve probably noticed that vaping isn’t as cheap for you today as it was several years ago, and the reason is because you use a great deal more e-liquid now than you did in the past.

That means you’re spending more on e-liquid, and it also means that you’re spending more on coil replacements. Not only do coils cost more today than they once did, but they also don’t last as long because the more e-liquid you use, the more quickly your coils will burn out.

What’s the solution if you’re using more e-liquid than you should? You should consider switching to a device that doesn’t go through vape juice quite as quickly. Devices such as pod systems produce much smaller clouds, so they require less frequent refilling and have longer-lasting coils.

You might even consider switching to disposable vapes. Today’s high-capacity disposables have rechargeable batteries and can last thousands of puffs before they require replacement. 

Use a More Coil-Friendly E-Liquid

When you read the previous section of this article, you probably realized immediately that switching to a lower-power vaping device would require you to make another major change to the way you vape – you’d have to increase the nicotine strength of your e-liquid.

The more modest your device’s vapor production is, the higher your nicotine strength needs to be if you want to maintain the same sense of satisfaction. 

You can also maintain your desired level of satisfaction by just vaping more often, but there’s a point where that simply won’t work. If you’re using a sub-ohm vape mod and a nicotine strength of 3 mg, you can’t expect to be happy if you switch to a tiny pod system and continue using that same nicotine strength.

It’s entirely possible that the prospect of saving money isn’t quite enough of a benefit to make you want to increase your nicotine strength or switch to a device that requires a different inhalation style. If that’s the case, there’s still something that you can do to spend less on vape gear.

Have you noticed that the e-liquids you’ve used have become a lot sweeter over the years? You’ve probably also noticed that you’re also replacing your coils more often than you once did. That’s not just a coincidence.

E-liquid makers are using sweeteners more heavily than ever before, and that’s terrible for coil life. Sucralose causes a dark sludge to form on your coil, and the layer of sludge is what causes the coil to taste burnt after a day or two.

If you don’t want to change the vaping hardware that you use, the next best way to save money is by using unsweetened e-liquid. Vape juice without sucralose isn’t easy to find, but there are several small manufacturers who still make it.

Switching to unsweetened e-liquid won’t reduce the amount of vape juice you consume, but it’ll make your coils last longer. Since vape coils cost more than ever these days, making this one change can result in significant savings.
