I don't think your information is quite right here. A nice (nice as in kind of the best that I'm aware of) pod style vape is about $30. A bigger box mod is under $60 for the ones I like from Vaporesso or Voopoo. Juice is let's say liberally, $40/mo (120ml). I have been handing down vape mods for almost a dozen years. My buddy vapes a lot and he's been using my hand-me-down vape for two years and it was 5 years old when I gave it to him. I only buy new because they get a little worn and I like the shiny screen and buttons. Absolutely all still usable. Best I can tell, disposables are about $10 for 3-4 days (according my partner who is annoyingly using disposables for "convenience"). You can get a nice mod and juice every month for the price of disposables from the real world numbers I'm seeing.

Juice gets even cheaper when you brew it, I'm paying less than $3/60ml, which I guess would be less than 6/120ml if I had bottles that size.

And I can brew it without the koolada garbage every dispo comes with.

I've been doing the same. Koolada and extra sweetener are just the bane of my existence. I wonder if there's an e-juice community on Lemmy.. I should check.

If you find one let me know! And yeah I literally put 10 drops/60ml of Capella Super Sweet in most of my juice, recipes I see around are like "use 5% Super Sweet," fuck THAT! I got over koolada in 2014, my body just hates it now.

100% I was guesstimating numbers to make a point.

Your info way more valid I'm sure
