Hey everyone! Let’s do a quick comparison of the annual costs between using an open MTL system and only using disposables . You might be surprised by the numbers!
Assumptions for this estimate:
- Average user : 1 pod/coil per week, 2ml of e-liquid per day.
- Disposable user : 1 device every 2–3 days. (cause you always wanna try different flavours)
Annual Cost Breakdown
1. Open MTL Pod System (e.g., Vaporesso XROS series)
- Device : ~$30 (one-time purchase).
- Pods/Coils : 52 pods/year at ~$3 each = $156 .
- E-liquid : 720ml/year at ~$0.30/ml = $216 .
- Total first year : ~ $402 .
- Subsequent years : ~ $372/year (no new device).
2. Disposable Vapes Only (e.g., Elf Bar, RAZ)
- Disposables : 120 devices/year (one every 3 days) at ~$8 each = $960 .
How Much Can You Save?
- First year with an open system : Save around $558 compared to disposables!
- Each following year : Save nearly $588 !
Why the Big Difference?
- Disposables are convenient but include battery, casing, and assembly in every unit.
- Open systems spread the device cost over years, and e-liquid + coils are far cheaper per ml.
Final Thoughts
If you vape regularly, switching to an open system can save you hundreds yearly – plus it’s more eco-friendly with less waste.
