The original vaping.com article printed below UK Pricing from several years ago. 

Here is the breakdown in the US market. The straight talk is that both disposable vapes and refillable pod kits are several times cheaper than the fauxbacco pre-filled pod kits sold at gas stations. 

While the sheer capacity of disposables has cut the difference, a bottle of nic salts squeezed into a pod is still cheaper. 

How much do disposable vapes cost?

From Elf Bars to IVG's, disposable vapes are in popular demand for their compact size and simplicity, not to mention the fact you can order a 600-puff bar for roughly £6. However, if you're looking to branch out to 1500 puffs or above, you're going to be looking at £14 minimum per disposable vape, this is where the bucks can start piling up.

If you're one of our aforementioned casual vapers, you're still spending a large £855-£1280 annually, on these seemingly low-cost devices.

How much should I spend on a vape starter kit?

Whether you'e new to vaping or a disposable enthusiast looking for a more cost-effective way to vape, then a vape starter kit could be the perfect purchase.

Here on Vaping.com, you can purchase high-quality starter kits such as the award-winning VooPoo Drag Q pod kit for just £30, containing the complete package, including a mod, re-usable pod tank and replaceable coils.

For even less, you can find pocket-sized pod kits such as the Uwell Caliburn G2 and the Vaporesso XROS 2 for just £23.99, consisting of a disposable pod and the device itself.

Save money through vaping a refillable device?

Figuring out how much you spend on disposables each month is always a good place to start when asking yourself this question.

Once you've purchased your shiny new starter kit for roughly £30 and two delicious vape juices at 30ml each, you're looking at £50 for one month's vaping.

Sound like a lot?

On the contrary, if we look at the average vaper who consumes 2ml of e-liquid every 2-3 days, disposable vapes for one month would set you back a whopping £70-£105.

In the world of vape kits, your first month will always be the most expensive due to the cost of the initial device and sourcing your favourite e-liquids.

After this, outgoings to keep in mind will be new coils (£5 every 1-2 weeks) and new vape juices, this comes at roughly £30 per month, which is significantly less than the overall cost of disposables.

Annually, refillable vape kits cost the average user around £310. To put this into perspective, if you tend to purchase 5 or more disposable vapes a month, you'll financially benefit from switching to refillable vapes.

You can browse a huge range of disposables and refillable vape kits here on Vaping.com, along with our fresh guides giving you all the information you need to pick the perfect pod kit partner.
