JNR's pricing looks average at first glance — $24 for a kit is right in line with what most premium disposables cost. But the math changes completely once you factor in the refillable pod system. Because you're reusing the battery and only replacing pods, JNR's per-puff cost drops well below sealed disposables after the first month. This page breaks down every JNR product price, calculates real cost-per-puff numbers, and compares long-term spending against Foger, RAZ, Lost Angel, and Geek Bar.

The key insight: kits are dramatically cheaper per puff than replacement pods because you're getting a battery module included at minimal markup. The $24 kit gives you 64mL of juice — the $22 replacement pod gives you 32mL. The battery module effectively costs $2. After your first kit purchase, ongoing costs are driven entirely by pod replacements.
How JNR's Cost Structure Works
Unlike sealed disposables where every purchase is a completely new device, JNR separates the one-time cost (battery) from the recurring cost (pods + juice). Here's how that plays out over time:
| Purchase | What You Get | Cumulative Spend | Cumulative Puffs | Running Cost/1K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kit (Month 1) | Battery + 2 pods + 4 bottles (64mL) | $23.99 | ~15,000 | $1.60 |
| Pod #1 (Month 3) | 1 pod + 2 bottles (32mL) | $45.98 | ~22,500 | $2.04 |
| Pod #2 (Month 4–5) | 1 pod + 2 bottles (32mL) | $67.97 | ~30,000 | $2.27 |
| Pod #3 (Month 6) | 1 pod + 2 bottles (32mL) | $89.96 | ~37,500 | $2.40 |
Based on moderate use (250 puffs/day). The running cost per 1,000 puffs stabilizes around $2.20–$2.40 after the initial kit bonus wears off. Even at this stabilized rate, JNR is significantly cheaper than buying new sealed disposables every 1–2 weeks.
JNR vs Competitors — 6-Month Cost Comparison
Here's what you'd spend over 6 months of moderate vaping (250 puffs/day = ~45,000 total puffs) on each system:
| Brand | Products Needed | 6-Month Total | Cost Per 1K Puffs |
|---|---|---|---|
| JNR (Stellarc) | 1 kit + 3 pods | $89.96 | $2.00 |
| JNR (GlassRock) | 1 kit + 3 pods | $90.96 | $2.02 |
| Foger | 1 kit + 8 pods | $128.91 | $2.86 |
| Lost Angel Mate 50K | 1 kit + 6 pods | $112.93 | $2.51 |
| RAZ (sealed disposable) | 6–9 devices | $120–$200 | $2.70–$4.40 |
| Geek Bar (sealed disposable) | 6–9 devices | $130–$210 | $2.90–$4.70 |
JNR is the cheapest option in every scenario. The gap is most dramatic against sealed disposables (RAZ, Geek Bar) — roughly 50–55% savings over 6 months. Against other pod systems (Foger, Lost Angel), JNR still saves 20–30% because each pod delivers more puffs.
Why JNR Is Cheaper Despite Higher Pod Price
JNR replacement pods cost $21.99 vs Foger's $12.99 and Lost Angel's $14.99. Looks more expensive per pod. But:
| JNR Pod | Foger Pod | Lost Angel Pod | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pod Price | $21.99 | $12.99 | $14.99 |
| E-Liquid Included | 32mL | 16mL | 16mL |
| Real Puffs Per Pod | ~7,500–8,500 | ~4,000–5,000 | ~5,000–6,000 |
| Pods Needed Per Month | ~1 (every 30–34 days) | ~1.5–2 | ~1.3–1.5 |
| Monthly Pod Cost | $21.99 | $19.49–$25.98 | $19.49–$22.49 |
JNR's per-pod price is higher, but you buy pods half as often. The net monthly spend is comparable to or lower than competitors. Factor in the cheaper initial kit and JNR pulls ahead over time.
Kit vs Pod — What Should You Buy First?
If you're new to JNR, you need a kit — pods don't work without the battery module. Here's which kit to start with:
| Scenario | Best Buy | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Budget-conscious first buy | P4 Stellarc Kit — $23.99 | $1 cheaper, same juice capacity |
| Heavy vaper (500+/day) | P5 GlassRock Kit — $24.99 | Bigger battery means fewer charges |
| Maximum value per dollar | P4 Stellarc Kit + extra pod | $45.98 for 96mL total — ~5–6 weeks of supply |
| Free shipping optimization | 2 × P4 Kits ($47.98) or Kit + 2 Pods | Add items to hit $80 for free shipping |
The $80 free shipping threshold is worth planning around. Two kits ($47.98) won't reach it, but a kit plus two replacement pods ($67.97) gets close — add any other product on site to hit the threshold and you'll have months of supply with free delivery.
Where to Find the Best JNR Prices
JNR pricing is relatively consistent across authorized US retailers. Here's what to expect:
Online retailers (including VapesOnlineShop): $23–$25 for kits, $20–$22 for pods. This is the standard price range from authorized sellers with US warehouse stock. Any retailer charging significantly more is adding excessive markup.
Local vape shops: Typically 20–40% above online prices. Expect $28–$35 for kits and $25–$30 for pods in-store. The premium covers overhead and immediate availability. Whether that's worth it depends on how urgently you need the product. For more on finding local stock, see JNR Vape Near Me.
Red flags for fake products: If you see a Stellarc kit for under $18 or a GlassRock for under $20, it's almost certainly counterfeit. Authentic JNR products at authorized retailers don't sell below the $22–$25 range. Deeply discounted JNR products from social media sellers or unverified websites are fakes.
Cost-Saving Tips
Buy pods in pairs. Two replacement pods ($43.98) gives you 64mL of juice and roughly 2 months of moderate vaping. Buying two at once is more efficient than ordering one at a time, and gets you closer to free shipping thresholds.
Use Regular mode, not Boost. The Stellarc's Boost mode (40W) burns through juice roughly 30% faster than Regular (30W). Sticking to Regular mode extends each pod's life by 1,500–2,000 puffs — that's an extra week of vaping per pod for free.
Refill before the container is bone-dry. Running the auto-refill container completely empty can cause air pockets that lead to dry hits, which damage the coil. Keeping some liquid in the container at all times maximizes coil lifespan and prevents premature pod replacements.
Consider the Stellarc over the GlassRock. At $1 less per kit and identical pod pricing, the Stellarc saves a small amount on the initial purchase. The GlassRock's larger battery is worth the $1 premium for heavy vapers, but budget-focused buyers get the same flavor and juice capacity from the cheaper option.
Is JNR Worth the Money?
The short answer: yes, if you vape regularly. JNR's value proposition gets stronger the more you use it. For a light vaper doing 100 puffs/day, the savings over sealed disposables are modest — maybe $5–$10/month. For a moderate-to-heavy vaper doing 250–500 puffs/day, the savings are significant — $30–$60/month compared to RAZ or Geek Bar.
The one scenario where JNR isn't the best value: if you only vape occasionally (a few times a week). The kit's 64mL of e-liquid has a shelf life, and if you're not using it regularly, some juice may degrade before you finish it. Occasional vapers are better served by smaller, cheaper sealed disposables. For a detailed brand overview, see JNR Vape — Complete Brand Guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are JNR replacement pods $21.99 when Foger pods are $12.99?
JNR pods include 32mL of e-liquid (12mL pre-filled + 20mL in two refill bottles). Foger pods include 16mL. You're getting double the juice per JNR pod, so the per-mL cost is actually comparable — and JNR pods last roughly twice as long before needing replacement.
Is the P5 GlassRock worth $1 more than the Stellarc?
For heavy vapers, yes — the 1,900mAh battery (vs 1,200mAh) means significantly fewer charges. For moderate or light vapers, the $1 difference is negligible either way. See our GlassRock review for the full comparison.
How much does JNR cost per month?
At moderate use (250 puffs/day): approximately $22/month after the initial kit purchase (one replacement pod per month). The first two months are cheaper because the kit includes enough supply for ~60 days.
Does JNR ever go on sale?
Authorized retailers occasionally run promotions, typically around holidays or during product launches. VapesOnlineShop's current pricing already reflects competitive discounts from MSRP. Sign up for our newsletter for sale notifications.
Can I use cheaper third-party e-liquid to save money?
Technically yes — the refill containers accept any e-liquid. Using a $5/30mL bottle of third-party nic salt instead of JNR's included bottles would reduce ongoing costs. However, JNR's coils are optimized for their sugar-free formula, and using heavily sweetened third-party juice will shorten coil life. The savings on juice may be offset by needing pods more frequently. See JNR Vape Pods for compatibility details.
