Vaping On A Budget: Save Money By Switching To Refillable Vape Kits
The overall and continual costs of smoking is one of the primary catalysts as to why people look to quit smoking. And it's no secret that vaping is considerably cheaper than smoking is too.
Disposable vapes have surged in popularity over the last few years as people look to use these convenient vaping devices as a way to try out vaping as they are a good entry level vape device which allows people to try vaping and see if it is for them without the need to commit to buying a refillable vape kit, as well as coils and e-liquid.

Introduction
Whilst being a convenient way to vape, consistent use of disposable vapes does work out costly in the long run and the savings between the cost of smoking and vaping begin to narrow and may not look so appealing.
In this article, we are going to look at why using disposable vapes can work out a costly way to vape, as well as exploring the initial costs and outlay to get set up with a refillable vape kit and why these are a much more convenient and cost-efficient way to vape as well
Is The Convenience Factor Really Worth It With Disposable Vapes?
As mentioned, disposable vapes offer a convenient approach to trying out vaping if you're seeking to quit smoking and make the switch to vaping. They are convenient because they're ready to go straight out of the packaging. No need to fill up with vape juice or fit/change coils as this is already done and housed within the sealed device.
People have turned to using disposables to experiment with vaping if they're looking to quit smoking and want to see if vaping is for them before fully committing to buying something like a refillable vape kit. Disposables are great for this, as they're priced suitably for people to try and offer that hassle-free option to try out vaping.
However, whilst being convenient, they are not the most cost-effective way to vape, with a singular disposable sometimes only lasting for one day before the battery runs flat or the e-liquid it’s prefilled with runs out.
Alongside this, disposable vapes are causing huge problems for the environment due to the fact that they are non-recyclable, despite being made from plastic, therefore they have to be discarded in general waste bins which are then taken to landfill.
With usage of disposable vapes currently at the highest it's ever been, it's estimated millions of used disposable vapes are being dumped into landfill every single week, and these are causing a huge detriment to our environment.
The days of disposable vapes being available to buy in the UK are numbered however, with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak making the announcement that there will be a new set of e-cigarette regulations coming to the UK.
The new regulations include a disposable vape ban and these will be happening within the next 12 months in an effort to not only protect our environment from further harm, but to stop them getting into the hands of young people who are underage.
Moving Away From Disposables to Refillable Vape Kits
There is a chain of progression when it comes to vaping which most vapers will go through. Most vapers will start out on a basic refillable vape kit such as a pen vape kit then once you feel more comfortable and experienced with vaping, you may look to progress onto using a device with a few more features such as variable wattage settings, or devices that have coils and vape tanks which require more upkeep and maintenance. As your experience grows, your vaping knowledge will also begin to grow and ultimately you will become an experience vaper that's comfortable with using any kind of vape device!
Moving away from disposable vapes to refillable vape kits is one of the primary progressive steps that you will take on your vaping journey, and one that not only buffs your vaping knowledge along the way but will also save you a considerable amount of money long-term.
The average cost of a disposable vape is around £6 per device, and for this £6 you get a vape device which is prefilled with 2ml of vape juice, the maximum amount permitted to adhere to Tobacco Products Directive (TPD/TRPR) regulations. These devices cannot be refilled, nor can they be recharged. If you're a frequent vaper the chances are this will only last for one day before either the vape juice runs out or the small 280mah battery housed inside the device runs flat which we have previously mentioned.
You'll then need to buy a replacement disposable if you want to continue vaping and this is where the costs begin to snowball. By buying a disposable every day and spending £6 a time, you'll be handing over £40 a week just for disposables! Whilst this still remains cheaper than the potential weekly cost of smoking, it does begin to make vaping a less cost-effective option.
This is where moving away from disposable vapes to something like a refillable vape kit is a crucial step within your vaping journey as not only is it a way to enhance your vaping knowledge, but by using refillable vape kits along with 10ml bottles of e-liquid offers a great way to save even more money with vaping as we explain below
How 10ml E-Liquids Will Save You Money
The flavours of the e-liquid used in disposables is one of the leading factors which entices people to want to try them as well as to keep continually using them also, but did you know you can now enjoy the same great flavours used in disposable vapes but in 10ml bottles?
Bar Salts is our range of 10ml nicotine salt e-liquids which have been inspired by the most popular flavours of disposable vapes and offer the perfect money saving alternative if you're looking to move away from disposables.
For just £2, you will get 10ml of vape juice which is made right here in the UK by our flavour experts. Specially created using double flavour concentrates, these vape juices provide a great hit of flavour paired with smooth but satisfying nicotine salts for an effective and enjoyable vaping experience.
A 10ml bottle of vape juice lasts on average around 2-3 days, so this means the maximum per week that you would be spending on vape juice is £6 if you were to buy Bar Salts in 10ml bottles. That's the same price as one singular disposable vape which, as we've established, will typically only last for one day.
To break it down, you'll be getting 30ml of e-liquid (that's 15 times more e-liquid than you get in a disposable) which will last for a week for the same price as a single disposable vape...it's a no brainer!
