I don't vape, but I can't imagine they're cheaper than re-usable vaping devices in the long run either.

I do vape. The long-term reusable vapes are a LOT more expensive than the disposable ones. My current setup cost 100 USD before batteries or coils.

No, I mean long-term as in costs. Over a year or two, won't you be saving money?

[–] Feidry 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yes, in the long term you are saving money but if you have 20 bucks but not 100, what vape are you buying? That's the point I'm making.

Honestly, even for twenty bucks, you can probably get a cheap rechargeable vape kit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

You can definitely get a shitty one that will have you back on the disposables within a few weeks until you save enough for a good system. Source: been there done that lol

Yeah, smoke cigarettes again!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

It's no cheaper, we're talking about someone that can't afford to spend 100$ to save money long term.

Spoken like someone who never got hooked on nicotine.

Was a smoker for over a decade but it wasn't causing me financial issues.
