Cost varies widely depending on your usage pattern and which products you choose. Here's a realistic monthly cost comparison for a moderate user (~300-400mg nicotine per month):
| Product Type | Cost per Unit | Monthly Quantity | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nicotine pouches (4mg, 20/can) | $5–$7 per can | 8–12 cans | $40 – $84 |
| Disposable vapes (5,000 puffs) | $12–$18 each | 6–10 devices | $72 – $180 |
| Closed pod system (e.g., Vuse Pro) | $14–$18 per 2-pod pack | 4–6 packs | $56 – $108 |
| Refillable pod system + e-liquid | $15–$25 per 60mL bottle | 1–2 bottles + coils | $20 – $60 |
Cost winner: Refillable vapes are the cheapest option overall, followed by nicotine pouches, then closed pod systems, then disposable vapes. Our disposable vs refillable cost comparison has a full 6-month breakdown including state taxes.
