An E Cigarette Benefit: Saving More Money
Visit Garnet Valentine’s sites:
After paying for the mortgage or rent, the car bill, utilities, and other expenses that you incur in a single month, that doesn’t leave very much left over. When you are a smoker, having extra money is even more difficult because maintaining that smoking habit can be very pricey. The cost of a single pack of cigarettes has increased exponentially since just a few years ago. $2 and $3 for a pack of cigarettes may have seemed expensive to smokers then, but there are many people who are eating their words now and wish that a pack now would cost as much as it did then.
Luckily, the solution for a smoker could come in the form of a smoking alternative called the electronic cigarette. The e cigarette is a battery-powered device that emulates the smoking experience down to the tee, but without lighters, ashtrays, and any burning involved. The e cigarette emits a smoke-like vapor that is a result of the atomizer, which is the device’s heating element, heating up a solution of liquid that contains nicotine.
Social smokers and smokers who only light up every now and then might not benefit from using an e cigarette as much as a regular or heavy smoker. The cost of a starter kit can cost as low as $50 and as much as $100 and will include all of the pieces that you need to get started with: an atomizer, two batteries, cartridges, and a charger. Regular smokers will start to see the big savings not with the initial investment but how much of a return they will be getting when they stock up on refill cartridges and e liquid.
Refill cartridges contain the liquid solution with various strengths of nicotine or none at all. Depending on the model, each refill cartridge can give the smoker about 12 to 20 cigarettes. For the sake of calculations, we will use the 15 figure for each refill cartridge. Each pack of refill cartridges will usually come in a pack of 5, so each pack will give you about 75 cigarettes. 75 cigarettes is the equivalent of 3.75 packs, and that would cost about $15 if you assume that each pack costs $4, which, in today’s market, is actually a very good price as most packs are going for over $4. A pack of e cigarette cartridges can cost anywhere from $5 to $11, depending on the manufacturer and model. Already, smokers can see some savings with cartridges.
The biggest savings start with the e liquid, which is the same liquid that is put into the cartridge. Rather than purchasing cartridges over and over again, keeping the used and empty cartridges and refilling them with e liquid is the most cost-effective way. A single 10 ml bottle of e liquid can go a very long way, a whole carton’s worth of cigarettes, in fact. With a 10 ml bottle, the result is 10 packs of cigarettes, and the best part is that a single 10 ml bottle costs just $10 or less. E liquid bottles are typically sold at 20 and 30 ml bottles and cost about $20 and $30, respectively. A carton of cigarettes costs over $40, and a 10 ml bottle of e liquid costs $10. Calculating the savings makes using the e cigarette even more exciting.
Now, smokers can save money and use an alternative that is in every way better for them than the real thing.
