How to Save Cash, So You Can Smoke More.

Are a Daily Smoker?

Have you ever sat down to think about how much it really costs you to keep up with your smoking hobby? If you are anything like some of us here at Atomic Blaze Smokeshop, then you probably spend close to what you pay in rent each month on the thing that makes you the happiest.

On average, according to Wikileaf, the cost of an eighth runs about $35. Depending on where you are, like up in the D.C. metro area, those prices can run as high as $65! 

Some people (*cough*) can easily breeze through an eighth in a day if they wanted to, so that adds up quickly. Throw in the minimal yet necessary cost of cheap rolling papers and a lighter, and you have yourself a nice, expensive little monkey on your back that wants to get chill AF.

We all know how expensive maintaining a smoking hobby can be, but it doesn’t have to break the bank or put undue strain on your wallet.

Find out how to spend less while smoking more with these helpful tips for saving cash on your stash.

5 Ways to Save Money on Smoking

No one wants to smoke less to save money, so how can you save money and smoke more? By being a smart consumer! Try some of these tips to save some greenbacks so you can sample some new veggies.

#1. Switch Up Your Smoking Routine

There are so many new methods of consumption these days and they are all worth trying. Not just for the fun of it either. 

By mixing up your routine, you’ll keep your body and mind guessing and you won’t need as much to reach the desired effect.

Are you normally a paper smoker? Start dabbing and let concentrated matter take you away to that smoker’s paradise. 

Do you seem to use your variable voltage vape battery a lot? Try starting your morning with a natural tincture t to give you a nice baseline to work from. 

Consuming orally takes a little longer to kick in but it should give you a little balance. 

This couples nicely with a few hits from a vape pen throughout the day to keep the wave rolling.

#2. Conserve Your Veggies to Save Dough

How you smoke your stuff and how you handle it can make a big difference in how long a little bit will last you. 

Breaking up your deliciousness by hand can actually be a very wasteful habit. Use a grinder to maximize the surface area of your bowl pack so each hit is more potent.

Same with your bongs. Using one that has a turbine or honeycomb filtration system will deliver dank rips with thick and powerful smoke. Each hit will be more effective and you will go through less product.

#3. Buy Smoking Accessories in Bulk

When your local dispo or smoke shop has deals, stock up. Look for clearance deals on smokeshop items and when the local dispo is offering BOGOs and big savings, it makes a whole lot of sense to buy in bulk (if you can swing it).

Take advantage of birthday discounts, holiday sales, and first timer specials most places offer. If you can stock up during these times, you won’t have to pay full price when things are dry.

#4. Bundle Up Before You Burn

Smoking bundles can save you a ton of cash, too. Instead of buying everything separately, look for glass pipe bundles, dab rig bundles, or a smoking accessories bundle that comes with everything you need.

If you like the idea of dabbing, but don't know if it's for you, then get a  dab bundle. A dab rig bundle with torch is a good choice so you have the right lighter for the job when your smoking bundle arrives. The Atomic Blaze dab kit bundle comes with a flower bowl, just in case you decide you aren't going to be a permanent dabber.

A good dab rig kit bundle should include at least a rig, the metal or glass dab tool, and a silicone dab catcher.

A good smokers bundle should come with a pipe or papers, a lighter, and a rolling tray if nothing else. Of course other smoke bundles can get much more elaborate depending on what you’re looking for.

#5. Shop Online for Cheap Smoking Deals

First off, let's get this straight. There is nothing wrong with being CHEAP!

Some of the best places to buy your smoking gear is from a cheap online smokeshop. A little research into a cheap smoke shop online can lead you to a wide world of smoking accessories and you can find some of the best online deals for your smoking needs. 

You’ll find cheap glass pipes with free shipping or a small bong with free shipping, so you don’t even have to leave the couch or waste gas money battling traffic to find the local shop doesn’t have the selection that you want or waste your time bouncing from place to place to find the piece you want.

A  cheap head shop online will usually offer a smokeshop online promo code for savings off a purchase or on shipping, maybe even a free gift with purchase if you’re lucky. 

Use one of the many Atomic Blaze headshop promo codes to save even more money.

Cheap glass pipes and cheap one hitters are a great place to start saving money if you prefer not to roll one up and would rather smoke from a glass piece instead. You can pack the amount you want and just take a toke when you need to, then set it aside rather than let a joint continually burn to a somewhat wasteful extent.

Cheap chillums are small enough to keep in your pocket and discrete enough to hold in the palm of your hand. This makes them a good choice for those who like to sneak away for a puff when no one is looking but still want the experience of a glass pipe.

If you’re super frugal and don’t have a lot of cash for stocking up, then you don’t want to spend a ton on an expensive smoking apparatus either. 

You can maximize this by smoking from a bong, which notoriously gets you there quicker than anything else. Cheap bongs under 50 are available from some very reputable and cheap online head shops. Cheap glass bongs are hard to come by though, so take advantage of sales when you find one like ones where you can buy a bubbler with free shipping. 

Finally, don’t forget to use an online head shop coupon code! You never know if you can stack a deal until you try.
