Why Vape Prices Are Rising in Indiana and the Best Affordable Alternatives

If you have noticed your favorite vaping products costing more lately, you are not alone. Indiana vapers are facing significant price increases due to a combination of state tax hikes, federal tariffs, and supply chain disruptions. At Vaporium Plus, we believe in keeping our customers informed and offering solutions that deliver great value without compromising quality. Here is a detailed look at what is driving these changes and the most cost-effective alternatives available today.

Starting July 1, 2025, Indiana implemented a new tax structure that includes a 30 percent retail tax on vaping products. This tax applies to e-liquids and disposable devices, meaning consumers are now paying nearly one-third more at the register. This change was part of a broader legislative effort to address state budget needs, but it has placed considerable financial pressure on vaping enthusiasts.

In addition to state taxes, federal tariffs on imported vaping hardware and components have further increased costs. Many devices and key parts are manufactured overseas, and these tariffs have raised production expenses significantly. These increased costs are inevitably passed down to consumers, making it more expensive to maintain your vaping routine.

Supply chain issues have also played a role in rising prices and declining availability. Well-known brands like Geekbar have exited the U.S. market, reducing the supply of popular products and creating shortages. When demand outpaces supply, prices rise. Global logistics delays continue to affect the production and transportation of vaping products, contributing to higher costs and occasional out-of-stock items.

Despite these challenges, there are still ways to enjoy a satisfying vaping experience without overspending. One of the most economical options available today is The Foger Pod System. This reusable pod system offers exceptional long-term savings and flexibility. The starter kit includes a battery and prefilled pods, providing everything you need to begin. Once the original e-liquid is finished, you can purchase affordable refills, making it much cheaper over time than continually buying disposables.

The Foger system also offers an impressive variety of flavors, with over fifteen options currently available. These include Strawberry Banana, Sour Fucking Fab, Strawberry Cupcake, Sour Cranapple, Cola Slush, Orange Slush, Frozen Lemon, Juicy Peach Ice, and White Gummy. Many of these flavors are inspired by former Geekbar options, making The Foger an ideal alternative for fans of the brand.

Other cost-effective alternatives are gaining popularity throughout Indiana. RYL by RAZ is known for its high puff count, offering up to 35,000 puffs per device, and a wide range of premium flavors. Fifty Bar Disposables also provide a reliable and affordable disposable option with consistent performance.

Refillable systems like The Foger not only save you money but are also better for the environment. By reducing waste from frequently discarded disposables, you can feel good about your choice ecologically and economically. The initial investment may be slightly higher, but the long-term savings are substantial.
