You want to start using an electronic cigarette but don’t know where to start ? You would like to know, above all, how much vaping will cost ? Is it more economical than smoking ?
There are all kinds of e-cigarettes available on the market, sold at all sorts of prices. Therefore, it can seem difficult to find the right one for your specific needs.
At a time when the price of tobacco keeps going up, switching to an electronic cigarette can be a good way to both quit smoking and save money. You'll find out how in this guide.
Arômes et Liquides shares its secrets so that you can get an idea of how much your future electronic cigarette will cost.
Electronic cigarettes for every budget
Unlike traditional cigarettes, electronic cigarettes aren’t sold at a specific price. Their cost can vary quite a bit, depending on their brand or type.
For example, you can find entry-level models for about twenty euros alongside high-end vapourisers that cost more than a hundred euros. This considerable difference can be explained by the functionalities these e-cigarettes offer. Factors such as the device’s power, its battery type and autonomy, its tank size and its coils determine how much it costs in the end.
At Arômes et Liquides, we’re committed to providing a wide range of equipment for all the different vaping needs out there. Prices may vary, but all of our shop’s devices are carefully selected and of the highest quality.
Our team of vaping experts is there to help you find the best e-cig for your particular needs. The e-cigarette’s cost should come into consideration, of course, but our main goal is to make sure you successfully quit smoking !
So, don't hesitate to contact us via email, phone (+33 (0)477400971), or even pop in one of our shops for advice.
Which budget ?
The question you’re probably asking yourself is which device can you buy and at what price ? Indeed, not every type of e-cig fits within the same price range.
We’ve selected a few kits and sorted them into different budget categories, whilst explaining their main specifications. For more information, feel free to read our guide on cheap beginner kits.
An e-cigarette for less than 30 euros
An electronic cigarette for less than 30 euros, can it be? Absolutely! Is it synonymous with poor quality ? Not at all! You can find a decent device that’s cheaper than 30 €.
We strongly recommend you opt for an ‘all-in-one’ electronic cigarette. These kits generally include a battery and a tank with a built-in coil. They’re very easy to use, require little maintenance and work without having to configure anything beforehand.
At this price tag, we recommend brands like Eleaf, Aspire, Joyetech or Innokin. These manufacturers are known for their quality and easy-to-use e-cigarette kits !
This type of equipment is generally intended for occasional smokers (fewer than 10 cigarettes a day) and some regular smokers (fewer than 20 cigarettes a day). Whichever device you end up choosing is designed to be both simple and effective !

An e-cigarette for less than 50 euros
You’ll also find a multitude of electronic cigarettes priced between 40 and 50€.
With this budget, we suggest you opt for a Podmod device. Pods are a new type of electronic cigarette that’s both compact and stylish, combining elegant design and performance into an affordable package.
These e-cigarettes are generally intended for vapers who want to inhale indirectly. This type of vaping offers the most similar feeling to the one produced by a traditional cigarette. Therefore, they’re ideal for quitting smoking.
If you’re an occasional smoker (fewer than 20 cigarettes a day), a Pod can perfectly meet your needs !
In this case, we recommend Voopoo’s podmods, trust us! The manufacturer’s Vinci and Drag series of pods offer impeccable quality and an interesting power range for MTL (Mouth-To-Lung) vaping.

An e-cigarette over 60 euros
If you have a bit more cash to spare, you’ll find equipment that’s not just high quality, but also much more powerful.
Here, the electronic cigarette’s format will be slightly different, since you’ll have to combine a box mod and a clearomiser. The mods are usually built to hold one or several removable batteries, as well as a chipset that allows you to configure the device. With these devices, you’ll have more autonomy, power and performance at your disposal !
All you'll need afterwards is a clearomiser to screw onto your box mod. The most advanced clearomizers are designed to accommodate more powerful coils, which match the greater output of these mods. If you don't know which clearomizer to use with which box, no worries, we also offer all-in-one kits so that you can equip yourself cheaply and without any fuss.
Among these you'll find Geek Vape's mods, for example, as well as Aspire's series of excellent Nautilus clearomizers.
This type of vapouriser could perfectly suit you if you're a heavy smoker who gets through more than 20 cigarettes a day. Indeed, it could provide you with the feeling you're after and keep going strong all day long !

Is vaping cheaper than smoking ?
If you're thinking about quitting smoking, the ever-rising cost of cigarettes is most likely the decisive factor in your decision. By switching to vaping, which is less harmful than smoking, you'll be able to say goodbye to tobacco's many harmful substances, and save a considerable amount of money in the process.
The only consumables you'll have to buy regularly are the coils and e-liquid. How often you do depends on your consumption.
As an example, a former heavy smoker changes his coils every 2 weeks on average. The latter cost about 2€. As for the e-liquid, beginners tend to consume about 3ml per day. That's nine 10ml bottles per month, with each bottle costing around 5€.
Thus, a heavy smoker can end up saving as much as 200€ per month by switching to vaping. And that's on top of all the other benefits that quitting smoking brings !
Save money by making your own e-liquids
Once you've found a suitable electronic cigarette, the only thing you'll have to buy regularly are the coils and e-liquid. These consumables are much cheaper than your old pack of cigarettes, but you can save yet more money !
How? It's very simple, you just have to make your own e-liquids ! Who's better to help you than the experts in DIYing themselves, that is, Arômes et Liquides !
In the vaping world, DIYing is the name given to the practice where you create your own e-liquids. To do so, you just need to mix a base liquid made from Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG) with a flavour concentrate of your choice.
It's a simple recipe really, and it has many benefits ! You'll notice how cheap making your own e-liquids is compared with buying them ready-made. You can even prepare a wole litre of your favourite recipe if you wish !
