Vaping on a Budget: Affordable Gear and E-Liquids – Vape Direct

Discover how to enjoy vaping without breaking the bank. Explore tips for finding affordable gear and e-liquids to keep costs low while vaping.

Are you trying to vape on a budget? Aren’t we all? In the modern day and age, we have issues with smoking and rightly so. The nation was convinced to smoke as youngsters only to find out in later life that it was bad for us. Now, there is a mass exodus from smoking to vaping in order to A) Improve health and B) cut costs. Smoking is expensive. Vaping is not quite as bad.

Affordable gear and non-expensive e-liquids are out there, if you know where to look. Of course, if you shop with Vape Direct you can always be sure of the best possible prices on e-liquids and vapes at all times.

What are Vaping Costs?

When you decide to try vaping for the first time, it is understandable if you have a budget. Vape juises, vape kits, and even disposable kits all cost money to buy and though the price may be lower than that of cigarettes, the costs can add up. We refer to these as vaping costs, and here at Vape Direct we are on a mission to keep them as low as possible.

Budgeting tips: basic tips for managing your vaping budget

It is possible to keep your vaping costs low by setting yourself a budget. Setting it and sticking to it are two different things! To stick to your vaping budget, try the following:

• Keep costs low by shopping for budget e-liquids
• Try disposable vapes first to see if you like it before you buy an expensive device
• Once you are experienced, opt for a refillable vape device to keep costs low
• Shop for secondhand or budget vape devices

Affordable Vape Gear

You can buy affordable vape gear if you know where to look. We supply a range of pods and vape kits which sell for less than £20, but which still supply excellence when it comes to performance and durability. You can also opt to buy secondhand vape devices, should you wish to. This gives you access to better products but for less money, and any used vape devices will have the mouthpiece replaced.

Entry Level Devices

Entry level devices start with disposable vapes and work their way up. Pod kits are best for new vape users, giving a good hit without the messy filling up other vapes require. Better yet, several pod kits come in under the £20 price point.

Check out the powerful but small Xros Mini or Vaporesso Xros 3. The Vaporesso Eco Nano Pod Vape Kit is another high end treat, coming in at less than £15. The Uwell Caliburn is a sound option in affordable vape devices. Even the brand new Oxva Xlim pro pod vape kit comes in at £24.99 currently. All prices are subject to change.

Durability Versus Cost

One of the problems with opting for a budget vape pod lies in the durability. When you start to reduce your budget, you start to lose out on build quality. Look for devices which minimise special features instead of build quality. For example, the Uwell Caliburn has only a draw-to-activate system and no buttons to speak of. Keeping the features in check means better durability even at a lesser price point.

Where to Buy Vape Kits

You can buy budget friendly vape kits in our pod kits selection pages. You are sure to find a cheap vape kit which suits your needs. We have budget vape pods, expensive vape systems, and cheap vape juices for all.

Cost-Effective E-Liquids

One of the main things you can do to keep the cost of vaping low is to purchase cost-effective e-liquids. We recommend that you buy in bulk wherever possible, since this will save you money per bottle. There are also upcoming changes to be aware of, once the vape tax hits.

Understanding E-Liquid Pricing

Multiple factors affect the cost of your e-liquids and it is even more complex because pricing is about to change. The new vape tax will add £1 onto bottles of no-nicotine e-liquids and up to £3 on e-liquids which contain nicotine. Otherwise, vape liquids tend to start off cheaper for single flavours, more expensive for more than one flavour in a bottle, and more expensive again. There are also brand names which are more expensive than others.

Affordable E-Liquid Brands

You can buy budget-friendly e-liquids to keep costs low. There are a few different options in cheap vape juices which don’t compromise on product quality. One of the top selling cheap vape juices – and a popular product line here at Vape Direct – is the V4 Vapour make. They offer a solid range of fruity flavoured vape juices which you can choose from. Asides from the cheap bottles of vape juice they do, the next vape juice up is closer to £5 than £3. There are multiple brands in this mid-range, from Riot Squad to Elf Liq.

Tips for Buying E-Liquids in Bulk

There are many benefits to purchasing e-liquids in bulk. The biggest is the drop in price per item you will receive. Add to that the bountiful options for flavour and taste, and you get a bunch of e-liquids which will change how you think about vape shopping.

Tips for shopping for e-liquids in bulk? Don’t use a bulk purchase as an opportunity to try new flavours. Try before you buy on the off chance that you don’t like it. Also, double and triple check things like nicotine content and flavour combinations before you buy. You don’t want 10 bottles of 20mg strong nicotine containing e-liquids when you are new to vaping.

Where to Shop for the Best Deals

Here at Vape Direct, we responsibly source our vape products to match market demand. This means providing our clients with a range of products, from budget models up to top of the line brands.

Wondering where to shop for the best deals? You can find great deals on products in our sale sectionw, only accessible if you shop online. While you might get access to the best deals online – you don’t get the benefit of the wisdom and experience of our associates to guide you.

Obviously there are pros and cons when it comes to buying secondhand or budget vape gear. On the wone hand, you gain more for less, on the other hand, the build quality and shelf life of the vape product is sacrificed for the cheapness. There is only so much cost-cutting you can do before the results become evident within the product.

Ultimately, the difference between buying a good product and buying a bad product comes down to knowledge and experience – which is something the average vape user doesn’t necessarily have. In that case, the only place you can get it is through visiting a vape shop and speaking to an advisor.

Vape Direct has multiple shops in the Milton Keynes, Neath Hill, Stacey Bushes, and Buckingham areas. Pop in and chat to one of our experts for the best possible advice on vape devices near you.

Conclusion: Budget Friendly Vaping Options are Out There

When it comes to vaping on a budget, it is entirely possible to save yourself money by buying the right gear. Remember that sometimes buying cheaper impacts the quality of the item in a negative way. What you maybe save in price, you could end up paying more for down the line.

When you compare vaping and smoking side by side, you quickly see that smoking costs far more – especially when you do the math. Therefore, switching to vaping could be cheaper for you, if you are a smoker looking to save cash. It is healthier too, so everyone wins (except the tobacco companies!)

Disposable vapes are a cheap way to vape but cause the most environmental damage. The fact that you do not need separate e-juice and that you can buy them in bulk deals makes it a sound option for those vaping on a budget. Disposable vapes are also the best option for those that are thinking about switching from smoking to vaping, but who are unsure of how to proceed.

In conclusion, budget friendly vapes do exist, as do the vape juices you need to power them. All it takes is a little savvy and the right vape brands at your back… and it always helps if you know where to shop!
