There's no doubt things are tough out there these days, jobs are scarce and people are trying to save money any way they can. Many of those who are struggling are also smokers, and the price of cigarettes these days is pretty steep for most smokers.
Enter the E-cigarette, the alternative to tobacco cigarettes. In earlier posts we have talked about what e-cigs are, how they work, and the fact that they produce far fewer chemicals than burning tobacco does. What we haven't talked much about is the savings for the average smoker that the e-cig can mean.
Where I live, cigarettes are at least $4 a pack (whatever brand is on sale) and I was a two pack a day smoker. OK, $8 bucks a day, 30 days a month, that's OMG! $240 a MONTH! That's like a car payment.
Let's compare that to the costs of using an e-cig. Your starter kit comes, in most cases, with everything you need to get started: 2 rechargeable batteries, 1 or 2 atomizers, a charger and usually a few pre-filled cartridges to get you started. The whole deal probably cost you less than $75, shipped, and just with the five pre-filled cartridges that came with your kit, you can "vape" about the equivalent of 5 packs of "analog" smokes.
The batteries and atomizers are consumable, meaning they don't last forever. If you are using cartomizers, you won't need to replace cartridges or atomizers, they're an easy, hassle free way to go. Usually the batteries last for several months, the atomizers usually last from a few weeks to a couple of months before it's time to replace them.
Let's say you added two boxes of cartomizers to your order. (that equals about a carton of cigarettes) So even considering the start-up cost of buying your e-cig, you still saved more than a hundred dollars the first month!
After that, it just gets better because all you have to buy are cartomizers or cartridges that you fill or that come pre-filled, and both are very reasonably priced (cartomizers around $12 for a box of five pre-filled, cartridges around $6 pre-filled.)
I find my total monthly costs have dropped from $240 a month to less than $50 a month, including any replacement parts. That's a savings of $190 a month--money I can use for a lot of other stuff--like paying the bills!
Not only are my e-cigs cleaner, they produce no second hand smoke, I can choose my own nicotine level and I am saving a fortune compared to my smelly old habit. That's all important to me.
That's the latest for today, stay tuned for more--And don't forget, enter a comment for a discount on your next purchase!
