Disposable Vape vs Pod System: Which Costs Less?

There are three main ways to vape. Here's how they compare.

Disposable Battery + pre-filled pods Refillable pod kit
Upfront cost Lowest Low (battery once) Medium (kit once)
Ongoing cost Highest Medium Lowest
Convenience Highest High Medium (refill and change pods)
Waste Most Less Least

Disposables

Open and go. Great for trying flavours. See disposable vapes.

Battery + pre-filled pods

Systems like STLTH, Level X and RufPuf keep the convenience while reusing the battery. See pre-filled pods.

Refillable pod kits

The lowest cost over time: buy the kit once, then just e-liquid and pods. See best pod kits in Canada.
