RESEARCH NOTE

Please note that the information used in this research is acquired online. We strive to improve the quality of the data of this research. Meanwhile, limited access to local information remains a hurdle for our study. We sometimes faced contradictory information and prices listed differently by various websites. We ask the readers of this research to be aware of the underlying data complications.

This research is a living document and we encourage volunteers to send us feedback to fix any complications. Vapers are invited to submit prices in their countries.

We used products based on popularity or/and our preferences, if you think we should add other products let us know!

Join our campaign!

Vaping has the potential to ensure 200 million smokers quit forever, but governments must encourage and facilitate it as a cessation method Now more than ever, it is vital that vapers’ voices are heard.

That’s why we’re taking our campaign out on the road, across Europe and around the world. We need to ensure that those making the key decisions that will affect OUR rights, OUR health and OUR futures, hear OUR collective voice and ‘Back Vaping. Beat Smoking.’
