If you haven’t been living under a rock, you have probably heard about vaping. It’s a type of e-cigarette experience that has boomed in popularity over the last decade. While its clientele has primarily been young individuals, vaping has slowly managed to attract a wider audience.
It’s an audience that doesn’t mind experimenting and investing in a high-quality experience. As such, it becomes interesting to wonder what the high-end vaping experience is like for those with the money to blow.
From rare vape juices to lavishly intricate vape mods, let’s explore the world of luxury vaping today.
Let’s start small. By and large, vaping consists of two key components. The vaping device and the vape juice. Once you buy the device, you only have to purchase the vape juice and other minor accessories. Essentially, the vaping device can be reused.
However, there is a growing number of vapers who don’t mind spending money on disposable vaping devices. The Geek Bar Pulse is one popular option, and it’s not hard to see why people like it.
The beauty of disposable vaping devices is their convenience. You don’t have to worry about topping up your vape juice when it runs out. Instead, you get an all-in-one device that gives you anywhere from 7,500 to 15,000 puffs.
According to The Vapers World, you can find them offering the same wide range of flavors, including watermelon, juicy peach, pink lemonade, and more.
While most people are happy to refill their vaping devices, these disposable options provide a little more convenience that some prefer paying for. Thankfully, disposable vaping devices can still be found in a number of budget options and aren’t as expensive as other items on this list.
These days, you can find a number of people willing to drop a lot of money on vaping mods. What are those?
Well, a mod, or a modification, refers to enhancements that can boost power output, voltage, temperature, and squonk mods. The last one refers to a mod that allows you to vape juice directly into the atomizer by squeezing the bottle. There are also mods that are focused on aesthetics in order to make a fashion statement of sorts.
That’s right, you can find custom vapes that have been modified by artists or jewelers to create stunning works of art. It isn’t uncommon to find some of these pieces selling for as much as $887,000. Of course, a large part of that price comes from the precious stones used on it.
Bought by a Russian billionaire to get his girlfriend to switch to vaping, it contains 246 two-carat diamonds, with the base and button being made of 24-karat gold.
Now, that’s truly luxurious.
Some people naturally prefer mods that offer more practical benefits. For example, there are a number of high-end atomizers that can cost anywhere between $300 and more. Since the atomizer is primarily responsible for affecting the flavor you taste, people are more willing to spend money on these types of mods.
With any hobby, something that tends to happen among more wealthy fans is the creation of collections. That’s right, go to any online community for vapers. You will quickly realize that some people are willing to spend vast sums of money on building an extensive collection of vapes and accessories.
There is something cathartic about starting a collection of things you love and adding new pieces, one by one. When it comes to vaping, it makes even more sense, considering the variety of vaping paraphernalia out there. People might choose to purchase and collect rare models or devices that were used by celebrities.
Some people might simply enjoy having the ability to sample various types of e-cigarettes. Each vaping device provides a unique experience that collectors enjoy experimenting with. It is not uncommon to see some of them spend thousands of dollars acquiring different vaping devices over a period of time.
It also doesn’t hurt that there are discontinued models and items that only had limited production runs. These can fetch a pretty penny if they are ever auctioned off.
As with any hobby, there are going to be communities that form around it. The same holds true for vaping, and depending on where you live, you can possibly stumble upon some interesting clubs.
This shouldn’t be all that surprising, considering how common vape meets and conventions are. It’s just a matter of time until wealthy vapers decide to come together to form communities.
While most of them are private clubs, there are some that are open to the public, offering memberships for a fee. You get to attend product launches and member-only gatherings and even enjoy limited-edition releases and discounts from time to time.
You do need to be careful about which clubs you join, as many of them operate for the sole purpose of bypassing vaping laws. For instance, you might join a “private club” and pay a membership fee, which in turn gives you access to vaping merchandise as part of the experience.
Of course, this is a gray area and quite risky in terms of legality. Still, you would be surprised at how popular such clubs are among certain circles.
In conclusion, if you have the money to spend, vaping offers several opportunities. While some options might be luxury purely for the sake of luxury, you can spend your money to get better products. That’s fairly obvious. Most of us aren’t Russian billionaires and are unlikely to ever need an e-cigarette that’s coated in diamonds.
That said, spending a little bit for a high-quality atomizer and similar modifications may seem worth it. Just remember to follow the laws in your city and state. Depending on where you live, you might find that vaping is extremely regulated. The last thing you want to do is get on the wrong side of the law.
