€645,000: the most expensive e-cigarette in the world

Do you think spending €800 on a cutting-edge, customizable vape is a bit too much? Then what would you say about shelling out €650,000 for what is arguably the most expensive e-cigarette in the world? That is certainly the amount a very wealthy businessman spent to delight his sweetheart! Here's a look back at this most unusual e-cigarette, which caused a buzz in the world of vaping!

An unusual order to say the least

In 2013, a British company specializing in the design and sale of e-cigarettes received an unusual order. A very wealthy Russian businessman asked the manufacturer Shisha Sticks for a custom e-cigarette as a gift for his girlfriend. This unique model, set with precious stones and crafted from noble materials, goes by the sweet name of Sofia and came with the astronomical price tag of 550,000 pounds sterling, or nearly €645,000 — because when you're in love, money is no object! This extraordinary e-cig, which is more of a piece of jewelry, is to this day still considered the most expensive e-cigarette in the world.

Other manufacturers offer limited editions entirely handcrafted with high-quality materials and incorporating cutting-edge features! However, the price of these rarely exceeds €12,000 — which is already exorbitant for an e-cigarette! But what justifies such an extreme price for the Shisha Sticks Sofia model?

A basic e-cigarette customized with exceptional materials

British manufacturer Shisha Sticks stated that it took 4 months to create its masterpiece — an assembly feat achieved exclusively with luxury materials. In total, no fewer than 246 Swarovski diamonds of 2 carats each adorn the battery of the e-cigarette, while an oval diamond estimated at €54,000 is nestled at the base. Furthermore, the Switch button of the e-cigarette is made of 24-carat gold and the clearomizer is crafted from Murano glass — an island located north of Venice, renowned for its high-quality glasswork. 

Despite everything, this e-cigarette appears overall very basic and similar to any standard Tube-style vape, if you ignore the ornaments that give it a pronounced "bling-bling" look. By comparison, some of the latest MODs available on the market feature far more elegant and ergonomic designs — worthy of truly high-end solutions. Given the Shisha Sticks Sofia's rather lightweight design, it would appear that it focuses on the essentials without going overboard in terms of features. As you may have gathered, this e-cigarette remains above all a true luxury product!
