There are a lot of benefits you can get from switching to an electronic cigarette. Aside from being relatively safer compared to tobacco cigarettes, electronic cigarettes are also cheaper in both the short run and the long run. How much money can actually be saved just by switching to electronic flavoured cigs? That is what we are going to find out in this article.

A good electronic cigarette starter pack costs less than $60. With the starter pack, you also get 6 refill cartridges. Keep in mind that 1 refill cartridge is equal to approximately 1.5 packs of tobacco cigarettes, so you have a total of 9 packs of cigarettes in hand.

You might want to purchase refill cartridges as well to last the entire month. Assuming a pack of 10 refill cartridges costs around $18, you only need to spend $36 to purchase two packs and have more than enough refill cartridges in hand.

So now we have a total of 26 refill cartridges plus the starter pack and we’ve spent $78 in total. The kit is equal to 39 packs of tobacco cigarettes, certainly more than enough for the entire month if you smoke one pack a day.

If you buy normal tobacco cigarettes, one pack will cost you more or less $6. Buying 39 packs means you are spending $234. That’s a total saving of $156 or over 60%. Since you don’t have to buy the starter kit again on the following months, the amount of money you can save is certainly bigger.

When seen from a different angle, being able to save $156 a month and still enjoy the same smoking sensation is indeed a huge plus. You save $180 on each of the following months, bringing the total annual saving to over $2,000 just by switching to an electronic cigarette.
