      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

      If you really want long term savings… how about ditch your nicotine habit? That’s what - $1,500 per year? $100,000 over your lifetime?

      Oh, and medical bills on top of that. Hard to estimate that, but it could be more.

      I can think of something better to spend $100,000 on. Slot machines at a Casino would be a better option for example.

        It’s not habit, it’s an addiction. Telling people to just quit smoking or vaping as if it’s that easy is ridiculous. People spend their whole lives trying to give up nicotine.

        That’s absolutely flat out wrong and honestly concerning.

        For a start nicotine addiction (vaping) has not been proven to have any long term health strain on the medical system. To say having a gambling problem is better is just crazy.

        You realise the difference between nicotine addiction and gambling addiction right?
