In contrast to Ploom heated tobacco price which can be easily calculated, it’s much trickier to specify the cost difference if you look at switching to vaping. It is likely to also save you money throughout the year, but it’s complicated to calculate. 

To arrive at the cost of vaping, you'll need to add the device, the number of bottles of e-liquid you'll use over a year, plus the coil and the batteries into the equation – not forgetting to allow for replacement parts as and when things wear out.

Lots depends as well on the style and brand of vape. There are an almost infinite number of variables on the market when you combine type of vape with the flavor of e-liquid on offer, including the level of nicotine they contain. So, arriving at a clear cost calculation will need a lot of research.

Price, of course, isn't the only consideration. Another thought to keep in mind if switching to vaping is that whilst most e-liquids include nicotine, none use natural tobacco, just flavorings as this Beginner's Guide to Vaping explores.
