Yes, significantly. You buy the device once, then only pay for e-liquid, which costs a fraction of a fresh disposable each time — most refillable setups pay for themselves within a week or two.
We divide each device's price by its puff count, then multiply by 1,000, and average across each brand's devices. It is the fairest way to compare value across devices of different sizes.
