HOW MUCH CAN YOU SAVE BY VAPING?

Be kinder to your health, your bank balance and the economy by ditching the ciggies and switching to a vape.

The economic cost of smoking, says a research team from the University of Cape Town, is upwards of R42 billion a year, of which R14,4 billion is spent on health care costs. If this is what smoking costs South Africa each year, just imagine the effect it’s having on your personal bank balance…

The cost of a pack of cigarettes in South Africa fluctuates greatly from one brand to another, with well-established brands retailing for around R50 for a pack of 20. So how much does smoking cost you over time?

Say, for example, you have a 20-a-day habit:
●     Cost per day: R50
●     Cost per week: R350
●     Cost per month: R1 500
●     Cost per year: R18 000

Imagine what you could do with an extra R18 000 a year – a sum that doesn’t even factor in the inevitable annual price and sin-tax hikes? You could take a well-deserved holiday, pay off some debts, put down a deposit on a car, or plough more money into your bond each month.

The good news is that there are alternatives to smoking cigarettes that will give your wallet some welcome relief, while still satisfying your need for nicotine.

Vaping is a potentially healthier alternative to smoking that will save you big time in the long run, not just in hard costs but in convenience, too. And while there are lots of different vapes for sale, choosing Vuse means you’re opting for one of the most trusted, cost-effective vape brands in the world.

There are so many devices and kits on the market that choosing the right one for you may seem daunting, but if you’re looking for simplicity and ease of use, Vuse is the vape for you.

Vuse is a closed system vape, which means it requires no maintenance. All you need to do is make sure the device is charged. To use it, click a magnetic flavour pod into place and you’re ready for action.

Vaping is undoubtedly a cheaper, less harmful alternative to smoking but just how much you save will depend on how much you vape and your vaping technique. 

So how much does a vape cost? Vape pen costs vary from one brand to another but by choosing Vuse, you can rest assured that you are buying the latest in closed-system vaping technology that will cost you way less than cigarettes in the long term.

There chargeable Vuse Pod starter pack is available in five premium metallic colours for R109,90 – that’s just a bit more than you would pay for two packs of 20 cigarettes.

Vuse Pod works with meticulously designed flavour pods (R109,90 for a pack of two flavour pods) that yield approximately 250 puffs per cartridge.

Ready to give value-for-money Vuse a Go? Why not try a curated combo bundle consisting of an Pod starter pack and three packs of flavour pods for just R439.

Or, for an even simpler vaping experience, consider a Vuse Go disposable vape, available in three sizes and a host of delicious fruit and mint flavours.
●     Vuse Go – up to 500 puffs (R80)
●     Vuse Go Max – up to 1 500 puffs (R120)
●     Vuse Go3000 – up to 3 000 puffs (R180)

The strength of an e-liquid is determined by its nicotine content and is reflected on your Vuse Pod as a percentage – 0%, 1.6%, 3% and 5%. As a rule of thumb when switching from smoking to vaping, you should choose a nicotine strength similar to your last pack of cigarettes.

One of the joys of switching from smoking to a closed system vape like Vuse is the lack of maintenance. There are no spare parts that need to be swopped out, and you don’t have to worry about refilling tanks. In addition, the low vaping versus smoking cost means that should your Vuse Go run out, or if you drop your Vuse Pod in the loo, replacing them isn’t an expensive exercise.

Remember the days when you had to step out in the rain to have a cigarette? The lingering smell on your clothes and hands and even in your hair? Switching from smoking to vaping makes all these negatives associated with smoking cigarettes a thing of the past. Because vaping doesn’t involve combustion there is no smoke, no ash and no smelly ashtrays to contend with either.

A report conducted by the Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and Environment (COT) in the UK found that while vaping is not risk-free, regular smokers who switch completely to vaping can expect to reduce their risks of contracting smoking-related diseases. The study also found that vaping is likely to present a lower risk to those around you than smoking cigarettes because it eliminates second-hand smoke.

 
As the price of cigarettes skyrockets year on year, vaping makes more economic sense than continuing to smoke cigarettes. Vuse vape pens cost as little as two packs of 20 cigarettes, making them an attractive choice for smokers who want to make the switch to a trusted global vaping brand.
