Aside from health concerns, one of the biggest questions smokers have about e-cigarettes is how much money they can save by making the switch.
With tobacco products constantly rising in price, and the price of a pack of 20 cigarettes becoming quite steep, smoking is quickly becoming a precarious option for the majority of people.
Except for regular smokers who use cheap brands of cigarettes, a normal smoker who smokes continuously for ten days with expensive packs of cigarettes will be giving these packs of cigarettes a not small amount of money every month.
Instant savings when switching to e-cigarettes.
When you are first getting into the world of e-cigarettes, starter kits can seem like something that is very expensive and you are not sure if you can stick with it for long. If you are thinking about it, it is a good idea to ask your friends to borrow and try out the type of e-cigarette device they are using. You can find out about the device they use, the types of e-cigarettes they like and how they prepare their e-cigarettes, this is a good way to get information about the options that are right for you.
Some smokers even try disposable e-cigarettes because they last for 400 puffs and they can understand how to use and what e-cigarettes do without the hassle of a cartridge and batteries.
If you really want to switch to e-cigarettes, there are starter kits available from the cheapest to the best and most expensive ones. Add a 15ml bottle of e-liquid and you can easily use it for more than ten days.

Other benefits
