Googling for a list of the most expensive vapes on the market is an entertaining but ultimately futile exercise. That’s because the devices you’ll find won’t be ones that you can actually buy. They’ll be one-off creations with add-ons and features like gold buttons and diamond-encrusted batteries or hand-milled metal and rare wood. Although they’ll certainly be fun to look at, the fact that a vape is expensive is hardly relevant if it’s a bespoke product made for an oligarch somewhere and not something that's truly for sale.
What you’re really curious about is what the most expensive vapes are that you can actually buy right now. More importantly, you want to know why they’re so expensive and what important features you might be missing out on.
As you read through this list, one of the things you’ll notice is that the “most expensive vapes” on the market aren’t actually all that expensive at all. They top out at just $67.95 at the time of writing, which isn’t really that costly in the grand scheme of things. Still, the cheapest vapes cost quite a bit less than that. So, why do the more expensive vapes cost as much as they do – and what do they have that the cheaper vapes don’t? Let’s dig in and find out.

Uwell Valyrian 3: $67.95
As you look at the prices of the different types of vapes, one of the things you’ll notice right off the bat is that big vape mods almost always cost more than smaller devices like pod vapes and disposable vapes. There are three logical reasons for that.
- A vape mod is typically larger and heavier than a pod vape because it incorporates more metal into its design, which adds to the cost.
- A vape mod will often include a high-quality glass tank, which further increases the cost.
- Vape mods generally have advanced features that smaller vapes lack.
All of the above things are true of the Uwell Valyrian 3, but those things alone don’t explain the cost of this device. The Uwell Valyrian 3 is tied for the most expensive vape mod on VapeJuice.com because it brings unique elements to the table that other vapes lack.
Do you enjoy using a vape mod that looks great? If you do, we think you’ll agree that the Valyrian 3 really stands out. Before you even use the device, you’ll see the dragon-scale pattern on the soft outer grips and will know that you’re in for something truly special. The fun only continues when you use the device and see the waves of fire illuminate on the rear of the device.
The enjoyment doesn’t stop there. Here are just a few of the other features that make the Valyrian 3 stand out.
- It includes the Uwell Valyrian 3 tank, which has incredible vapor production and flavor along with Uwell’s patented self-cleaning feature that automatically removes excess condensation from the base.
- The tank also features Uwell’s Pro-FOCS technology, which has been tried and tested to guarantee pinpoint flavor fidelity.
- It uses Uwell’s latest chipset and circuit board, providing instant firing speeds even with the most demanding vape coils.
Geek Vape T200 (Aegis Touch): $67.95
Have you ever wished that you could interface with your vape as easily as you do your phone? Companies have tried to develop touch-screen vapes for a while, but the Geek Vape T200 is the first one that really gets it right. The thumb-friendly design makes it easy for you to access your device’s functions while holding it, and the thoughtful interface ensures that you can get to the most-used functions without flipping through menu after menu. The interface also includes a brightness adjustment, wallpaper, four selectable themes and more.
What else does the Geek Vape T200 bring to the table?
- The AS-Chip 3.0 chipset includes several configurable vaping modes including a smart mode that automatically sets the device up for the best possible flavor and longest coil life with the installed coil.
- It’s shock resistant, water resistant and dust proof to help keep you vaping through everyday bumps and scrapes.
- A side-mounted locking switch ensures that you won’t activate the device when you don’t want to.
Geek Vape Aegis Solo 3: $65.49
View It Now (Built-in Battery)
View It Now (Removable Battery)
The Geek Vape Aegis Solo 3 is perhaps the most advanced single-battery vape mod that money can buy, and it crams the power of a traditional full-sized vape mod into a package that’s much smaller and more pocketable than other mods. It’s also available in the format of your choice. Choose the built-in battery version if you prefer a lighter package or select the removable-battery Aegis Solo 3 for quick battery swaps on the go.
The Aegis Solo 3 has many of the same features as the T200 described above, and it also has a few additional tricks up its sleeve.
- Like the T200, the Aegis Solo 3 features Geek Vape’s “Tri-Proof” design and offers shock hardening and water resistance. It’s also dustproof.
- It features several vaping modes including an automatic Smart mode and a new Eco mode that helps to maximize battery life without compromising flavor quality.
- It uses Geek Vape’s new AS 4.0 chipset, which has a special boosting function to maintain stable vapor output even when the battery’s remaining charge is low.
Lost Vape Centaurus B80: $61.99
Lost Vape has made a reputation for itself as a boutique manufacturer for demanding vapers, and they’ve done that by packing their devices with a variety of unique and unusual features that you won’t find anywhere else. With its interchangeable faceplates and solid zinc enclosure, the Lost Vape Centaurus B80 definitely looks the part as an expensive boutique vape.
It’s the features under the hood, though, that really make the Centaurus B80 stand out. Effectively, what you get here is the power and flexibility of a vape mod in a package scarcely bigger than most pod vapes. You’re not likely to find a more feature-filled pod system anywhere.
- It might be the only pod vape on the market with a pod made from borosilicate glass. A traditional plastic pod is also included.
- It’s compatible with pre-built coils and can also utilize a rebuildable RTA deck.
- The glass pod includes three different bases that allow you to adjust the airflow to your exact specifications.
- Both pods use durable silicone gaskets to prevent leaking.
SMOK G-Priv 4: $61.49
The SMOK G-Priv 4 is the fourth device in a long-running series that’s famous both for its touch-based interface and its large side-mounted fire key that you’ll never have difficulty finding, even in the dark – just squeeze the mod to vape.
The G-Priv series has been around for quite a while now, which means that the engineers at SMOK have had plenty of time to develop an interface that’s straightforward and a pleasure to use. The G-Priv 4 doesn’t quite have the “smartphone” feel that you’ll get when you use the Geek Vape T200 described above, but the added benefit here is that the G-Priv 4 has a secondary physical button that might make some menu options easier to get to.
Here are some of the other things that you can look forward to with the SMOK G-Priv 4.
- It allows you to save up to four custom configurations and switch between them instantly.
- It operates at up to 230 watts using two removable 18650 batteries (not included).
- It includes the SMOK TFV18 Mini tank, which is famous for offering both huge clouds and excellent coil life. The secret is in the tank’s five-pin copper bracing system, which allows for incredibly efficient power transfer from the device to the coil.
Voopoo Drag 4: $56.99
Since the release of the first Voopoo Drag vape mod several years ago, the “Drag” name has been synonymous with luxury in vaping. Featuring the revolutionary Gene chipset, the original Voopoo Drag was the first vape mod with the ability to fire virtually any vape coil instantly without the need for preheating and “primer puffs.” The Drag 4 continues that tradition with the latest version of the Gene chipset and some seriously luxurious trappings.
With the Drag 4, the luxury will be evident as soon as you open the box because this device looks seriously incredible. The color options include three amber-inspired resin patterns and three patterns that include natural walnut or rosewood.
The Voopoo Drag 4 isn’t just about the luxury materials, and it’s not just about the Gene chipset either. Here are this mod’s other great features.
- The included UFORCE-L tank uses three large vents to provide the free and easy airflow that you’d expect from a top-quality vape tank with bottom airflow. Being a top-airflow tank, though, the UFORCE-L is virtually leakproof and nearly silent.
- It has a built-in switch with three selectable functions. Use the switch to turn the device on and off, to lock all functions or to lock the wattage.
- It has an incredible maximum charging speed of 3 amps. When the batteries die, the Drag 4 gets you back to vaping more quickly than any other dual-battery mod.
- A new “Eco” vaping mode activates automatically when the batteries are low to maximize your vaping time.
