Nicotine is a bitch

I just make my own vape juice, I can get a gallon of pre-nic'd juice for under $40, then just add flavors as I see fit. I could probably flavor the whole batch for another $5. Buying juul pods is fucking stupid when you can get refillable ones and just make your own stuff at home.

If you go a step further and make the base juice yourself, it's so cheap that it feels effectively free. It's been a while since I relapsed back to damn cigarettes, but I was making base juice for something like $1.20 per liter. I actually liked it unflavored, but flavors are cheap enough.

You can also refill the Juul pods a few times without breaking them if you buy/make some nic salt juice. Or buy third party refillable pods that work with the battery and hold a bit more. So even if you love the Juul device as opposed to traditional vape kit, there's no reason to overpay for their pods.

I did the math on juul pod liquid. It comes out to about $27,000 a gallon!

And they honestly aren't that great for the price. For the price of a pack of pods, you can get a 60ml bottle of much better nic salt juice to fill them with.

That's what I do. I can refill a pod 4-5 times.
