Electronic Cigarette Money Savings Potential Guide

By: David B

One of the greatest advantages of the electronic cigarette is the fact that it can save you money. The savings will vary from person to person, but in general everyone who uses the electronic cigarette in replace of traditional tobacco cigarettes will save money. In fact it does not even take that long for a person who switches solely to the electronic cigarette to recoup the cost of a starter kit and a single bottle of E-Liquid.

There are also other ways that you save without even realizing it. For example think of the extra costs for solely going out to get cigarettes. Or if you are at a place where cigarette price are marked up due to that being the only option. For example at a bar, a club, concert, in a different town/county/state with a higher tobacco tax, etc. The list could go on and on.

There is also less waste with the electronic cigarette. Think back to all those times you had to put out your cigarette before you got to finish it. Reason for that are also endless. You could be running late and have to put out your half finished cigarette in a hurry. It could be too cold or too hot outside and you just cant stand to stay out any longer.

Now for some breakdowns in numbers for how the electronic cigarette will save you money.

In general we will go with the general assumptions:

*You start out with the basic Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit(1 charger, 1 atomizer, 2 batteries, manual, 5 standard flavor cartridges.) and one bottle of E-Liquid

*One bottle of 30ml E-Liquid will last you approximately 15 days. This is how long it should last a pack/day smoker. This is a safe estimate based on past surveys.

*An extra $5 cost is added per month for a spare of blank cartridges. This may be more or less depending on your smoking preference. Refilled cartridges need to be replaced about once a week depending on the model of electronic cigarette that you use.

*One Pack of cigarettes costs $6.50

How long for the electronic cigarette to pay for itself($79 for Starter Kit and 1 30ml of E-Liquid). This is without any of our discounts or specials.
