The €4,992 figure in this article title is an example, not a promise. Actual spending depends on cigarette use, product choice, e-liquid use, replacement parts and Ireland’s current E-Liquid Products Tax.
Quick answer: Compare your own weekly cigarette spending with the full weekly cost of vaping, then multiply the difference by 52. Do not use a headline number as though everybody has the same habit.
A Simple Cost Formula
Estimated annual difference = (weekly cigarette spend − weekly vaping spend) × 52.
For example, a €96 weekly difference would equal €4,992 over 52 weeks. Change either input and the result changes too. The calculator is honest; unfortunately it has no flair for dramatic headlines.
Include the Full Vaping Cost
- The device
- E-liquid, including current tax
- Replacement pods or coils
- Charging accessories where needed
- Any wasted or unsuitable products
Why Refillable Kits Can Cost Less Than Repeated Single-Use Purchases
A refillable setup keeps the main device and replaces consumable parts as needed. That can reduce repeated hardware purchases, but costs still vary by use. Zero stock does not mean a product is discontinued; check the current listing and compatibility before buying replacements.

A Health Note
The cheapest and healthiest option is not to smoke or vape. If you smoke and want to quit, the HSE recommends professional support and licensed stop-smoking medicines. Vaping is not a licensed stop-smoking medicine in Ireland.
Responsible-use note: Vaping and nicotine products are for adults aged 18 and over. Nicotine is addictive. Vaping is not harm-free, and people who do not smoke or use nicotine should not start.
For quitting support, the HSE recommends speaking with a stop-smoking adviser, GP or pharmacist and using licensed stop-smoking medicines. Read the HSE guidance on vaping and nicotine.
The Bottom Line
Use your real receipts, not somebody else’s estimate. €4,992 only applies when the weekly difference is €96; change the inputs and the result changes too.
