electronic or e-cigarettes?”, in WhyQuit‎[2]:

Andy: It is far, far cheaper. I don't use cartridges, personally, I use a
technique known as dry-smoking. Basically you put a few drops of the liquid
directly into the atomizer chamber. An 8ml bottle of the E-liquid (roughly
$5 US) lasts me around a week and a half to two weeks. Even when I did use
cartridges, it ended up cutting my cost by about 1/3rd.
