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?
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.
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
You just don't vape then
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.
Spoken like someone who never got hooked on nicotine.
"Why don't heroin users just stop doing heroin?"
Was a smoker for over a decade but it wasn't causing me financial issues.
Their point is: Lack of money doesn't keep you from smoking.
You'll eat less instead.
