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.

Yeah, smoke cigarettes again!

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

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

You'll eat less instead.

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

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
