Is vaping cheaper than smoking cigarettes? And Monthly cost!

Initial Costs:

• Vaping - The startup cost for a basic vape kit (mod, tank, coils) can range from $30 to $100 on average.
• Smoking - No upfront cost for cigarettes, just the ongoing purchase of packs.

Ongoing Costs:

• Vaping - E-liquid typically costs $10-$30 for a 30-60ml bottle, which can last 1-2 weeks for a moderate vaper. Coils need replacing every 1- 4 weeks at around $5 each.
• Smoking - Packs of cigarettes generally cost $5-$12 depending on location, with heavy smokers consuming 1+ packs per day.

Other Considerations:

• Vaping has lower taxes in many areas compared to cigarettes.
• Vaping devices can be reused for years, reducing long-term costs.
• Heavy vaping with high-powered mods and frequent e-liquid consumption can approach or exceed the costs of smoking.
• Bulk purchasing of e-liquid and coils can reduce the per-unit costs of vaping.
