How to Save Money on E-Cigarette Supplies
When you’ve made the switch from traditional cigarettes to electronic cigarettes, you will already be saving a great deal of money. However, using an electronic cigarette can still add up. It’s natural to want to maximize your spending so you can make even more room in your budget. Here are some tips to help you save even more.
Cartridges
While it may be easy to keep buying replacement cartridges already filled with liquid, it is cheaper to refill them on your own. Many companies provide the e-juice (the nicotine liquid) completely separate from the cartridges. You can fill them on your own with a needle – or sometimes, with the nozzle on the bottle itself.
Shop around. You’ll find empty cartridges you can use to fill with your own liquid. Also, shop around for your liquid. Many websites offer a variety of flavors, but only some of them are exclusive to that website. Changes are you can find a better deal on the flavor you are looking for.
If you decide not to fill your own cartridges, shop around for them. The more you buy at once, even with a combination of flavors, the more you will save over the long term. If you buy liquid to refill the cartridges, the more you buy, the more you save over the long run, too.
Shipping
Look for companies that offer free shipping. The more you buy at once, the better chance you have at free shipping. If you must pay shipping charges, purchase the items you need at all once, to avoid multiple shipping charges.
Look for Coupon Codes
Many websites offer coupon codes to help you save money each time you place an order. These coupon codes can be used over and over again, so you never have to pay full price. At the very least, they can help offset shipping costs on smaller orders where you must pay a shipping fee.
Spread the Cost Over Time
If you’re short on cash – buy only what you need when you need it. You can peice together your own starter kit, if you want to save a bit of money. Many companies offer starter kits that are cheaper than building your own. You’ll even have the cartridges and liquid you need to keep going. Then, when you need to buy more liquid, you can save money.
Join Mailing Lists
Many e-cigarette companies you do busy with have email lists you can join. You’ll get emails when they are having sales or offering new products. Join these and watch your email box. When you see a great deal, grab it – you’ll save money over the long term.
A 30ml bottle of liquid will cost you around $9.99 plus shipping and handling. For the average e-cig user, this could last up to a month. Compared to $5/day for a pack of cigarettes, you’re saving a great deal of money. Batteries can last a year or more – and replacement cartridges last two weeks to a month.
