Short answer: if you puff under 300 times a day, disposable is simpler and cheaper; over 500, refillable pays off better in the long run<\/strong>. The decision isn’t about brands, it’s about habits. Below we compare the two on four criteria \u2013 with concrete numbers.<\/p>\n

Cost comparison \u2013 over one year<\/h2>\n

This is the most important criterion \u2013 and here refillable seems more expensive, but it isn’t. Basis of the calculation: 400 puffs a day (about 1.5 packs of cigarettes).<\/p>\n

This result surprises many.<\/strong> Thanks to high-capacity devices (120,000\u2013200,000 puffs) disposable is by far the cheapest option today \u2013 provided you choose high capacity, not 20,000.<\/p>\n

If you don’t want to deal with anything \u2013 just puff \u2013 disposable is clearly more convenient. Refillable is also a hobby: people enjoy trying different coils and liquid brands.<\/p>\n

Flavour and performance<\/h2>\n

Refillable wins here, but not by as much as many think.<\/p>\n
