Vaping is certainly a lot cheaper than smoking. But it can become expensive, especially if you’re experimenting with different nicotine strengths or flavours, or if you’re not properly maintaining your vape kit. This tips for cheaper vaping guide will help you keep your costs down. We’ll cover everything from getting the most out of discount codes and loyalty programs to maximising the lifespan of your vape kit.
Whether you’re a seasoned vaper or just starting, these tips will help you enjoy your vaping experience without breaking the bank.
Cheaper Vaping From Our Retail Stores
Store Loyalty Cards
Most of our retail stores offer loyalty cards that are free for all customers and provide an easy way to accumulate points with every purchase. Simply present your card at checkout to earn points*, which can be redeemed at any time for an extra bottle of e-liquid or pre-filled pods. It’s a great way to try new flavours or stock up on your favourites without spending extra.
* Receive £0.66 for every full £4.99 spent and redeem the balance at any time.
If you prefer disposables, we have you covered with a specific disposable loyalty card. Every time you buy an Elf Bar, Lost Mary, or Crystal Bar, you'll earn points. Once you've purchased 12, your 13th disposable is completely free.
Refer a friend In-Store
Referring friends to your local Totally Wicked store can be one of the most effective ways to earn free e-liquid. For every friend you successfully refer*, you’ll receive 5 bottles of vape juice. This reward system allows you to refer as many friends as you like, making the potential rewards limitless.
* To successfully refer a friend in-store, they must make a purchase of £20 or more.
Cheaper Vaping With Vape Kits
Upgrade your disposable
If you're a regular vaper of disposables, then upgrading to a more sustainable option will also save you money in the long run. We recently did a survey[LH2] and 44% of respondents* said they were considering switching to pod kits such as the popular VLTZ flex Pro refillable, because disposables were costing too much money.

Coils Maintenance
Maintaining coils is an effective way to save money on vaping. Coil maintenance includes priming the coil correctly for approximately 3-5 minutes to prevent a burnt taste – this also applies to pods with fixed coils. It's also advisable to refill the tank before running out of e-liquid to avoid the coil burning out due to a lack of vape juice to vaporise.

Battery Maintenance
A clever way to save some extra money is by extending the lifespan of your rechargeable vape’s battery. Experts recommend avoiding both full discharges and full charges, so it's best not to let the battery get lower than 20%. The more important thing to remember is that the biggest strain on a vape battery is when it is warm, and when it is getting close to fully charged. Because of this, you can prolong the useful life of your vape battery by not charging it more often than you need to. Frequently topping up the charge will reduce the battery life, so aim only to charge the battery when you need to. If you can take it off charge when it's 90% full, this will also prolong the battery life, but it can be quite tricky to judge that accurately.
Keeping your vape away from high temperatures and direct sunlight will allow the battery to live a much longer and happier life. However, it's also worth remembering that vape batteries can also be damaged by being charged at temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius. They shouldn't be used at all if their temperature is below zero[i].
The usual safety tips for vape batteries also mean they will last longer. Avoiding dropping devices or batteries, keeping them in good condition, and not carrying them in pockets with keys and change will all add to longer life.
If your vape has adjustable power, vaping at high wattage when the battery is low can add to the strain, and can shorten the battery's useful life.
Top Tip: Make sure your vape doesn't get hotter than it needs to. If it does, let it cool down before you charge it. Try to take it off charge when about 90% full.

Extra E-liquids
Totally Wicked offers two straightforward ways to receive extra e-liquids online:

Our customer support team is trained to help in these situations and it’s advisable to contact them if you are unsure of where to start. Alternatively, popping into a retail store and talking to a staff member can help you choose the right nicotine strength.
