How Expensive Is A Vape? - Vaporizer Wire

Wondering how much you should spend on a vape? You’re in luck because that’s exactly what this vaping guide here on Vaporizer Wire addresses: how much a vape costs and how much you should spend on the next one you buy.

Why Vape Type Matters

Before we get into how much a vape costs, we’re first going to enlighten all of you to the different types of vaporizers that this guide pertains to. While there are vaporizers intended for aromatherapy, the type we’re discussing here are intended for direct inhalation. This includes e-cigs, vape pens, herbal vaporizers, and the like. If it’s designed to produce vapor for the user to inhale, it’s the type of vaporizer covered here in this vaping guide.

The Cost

On the low end, vapes cost tens of dollars, if not less. As cheap e-cig devices can be purchased for around $10 to $15 (USD), we’d say that a number right around there marks what a cheap entry-level vape costs today.

For vape pens designed for liquids and oil, there’s a wide range available that cost less than $100.

As for herbal vaporizers designed for dry herbs, the average cost for a decent unit appears to be a bit higher than the cost of a concentrate vaporizer, which is what e-cigs and other types liquid and oil vapes are. Dry herb vapes run around from tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars. From our perspective, while there are dry herb vapes for less than $100, most of the good ones cost more.

The Pax 3, for example, currently retails for about $200 for the vape itself and a bit more for its complete kit. The DaVinci IQ, another top rated dry herb vaporizer that, like the Pax, is also portable, sells for about $275. And for the best, or what many consider to be the best, it can cost even more as the digital version of the Volcano Vaporizer (the “Digit”)–widely considered the best desktop vaporizer on the market–costs roughly $600.

In other words, it all depends on what you want and what you’re willing to spend. That’s how much a vape really costs.
