🧮 Maintenance Savings Calculator
David Mok’s Top Cost-Saving Secret
“The biggest money-saver in vaping isn’t buying cheaper devices – it’s treating your current device like the investment it is. A $50 device that lasts 2 years with proper maintenance beats buying 4 cheaper devices that die every 6 months.”
👨💼 Expert Insights from David Mok

Founder & Lead Expert, VAPE-PLUS.COM
❓ What’s the #1 maintenance mistake you see?
“Waiting too long to clean. Most people think ‘if it works, don’t touch it.’ But with vapes, regular cleaning prevents 90% of issues before they start. A 5-minute weekly routine saves hours of troubleshooting later.”
❓ How has vape maintenance evolved over the years?
“When I started VAPE-PLUS.COM in 2015, devices were much more finicky. Today’s devices are more forgiving, but that makes users complacent. Modern devices perform better with maintenance – the difference between maintained and unmaintained devices is more noticeable now than ever.”
❓ What’s your prediction for future maintenance needs?
“Smart devices are coming – vapes that tell you when to clean, when to replace coils, even how to optimize your vaping style. But the fundamentals won’t change: cleanliness, proper storage, and understanding your device will always be key.”
