I don’t think your information is quite right here. A nice (nice as in kind of the best that I’m aware of) pod style vape is about $30. A bigger box mod is under $60 for the ones I like from Vaporesso or Voopoo. Juice is let’s say liberally, $40/mo (120ml). I have been handing down vape mods for almost a dozen years. My buddy vapes a lot and he’s been using my hand-me-down vape for two years and it was 5 years old when I gave it to him. I only buy new because they get a little worn and I like the shiny screen and buttons. Absolutely all still usable. Best I can tell, disposables are about $10 for 3-4 days (according my partner who is annoyingly using disposables for “convenience”). You can get a nice mod and juice every month for the price of disposables from the real world numbers I’m seeing.
I’ve been doing the same. Koolada and extra sweetener are just the bane of my existence. I wonder if there’s an e-juice community on Lemmy… I should check.
If you find one let me know! And yeah I literally put 10 drops/60ml of Capella Super Sweet in most of my juice, recipes I see around are like “use 5% Super Sweet,” fuck THAT! I got over koolada in 2014, my body just hates it now.

100% I was guesstimating numbers to make a point.
Your info way more valid I’m sure
Juice gets even cheaper when you brew it, I’m paying less than $3/60ml, which I guess would be less than 6/120ml if I had bottles that size.
And I can brew it without the koolada garbage every dispo comes with.
