Best Vapes Deals in Chicago, ILUpdated Daily — Refreshing Now
Chicago vape pricing is shaped by Illinois's tiered excise structure in a particularly material way. Products with THC above 35% — which includes most cartridges, pods, and disposables — are taxed at the 25% state excise rate, not the 10% rate applied to flower. Add Illinois state sales tax (6.25%) and Chicago's 3% city cannabis tax, and a $45 pre-tax cart in Chicago becomes approximately $59–$62 at the register. This is why Chicago vape deals are worth tracking carefully: even a $5 menu-price difference produces a $6–$7 out-of-pocket difference after the 25% excise multiplies through.
Illinois vape brands are concentrated among the state's vertically integrated operators: Cresco's Liquid Live Resin and High Supply carts, GTI's Rhythm vapes, Verano's Encore cartridges, and Ascend's house-brand products are the most common at Chicago tracked stores. Cookies Chicago Clinton IL carries Cookies Liquid Diamonds and Cookies-branded carts. Most stores also stock a selection of disposables in 0.5g, 1g, and 2g sizes. Cart prices on promotion days at Chicago dispensaries typically run $35–$48 for 0.5g before tax; disposables run $45–$65 for 1g before tax.

Check today's Chicago Vape Deals for current promoted prices.
Why is the tax on vapes higher than on flower in Illinois?
Illinois's Cannabis Purchaser Excise Tax is tiered by THC content: 10% for products ≤35% THC (most flower), 25% for products >35% THC (most cartridges and concentrates), and 20% for edibles. Most Illinois carts and disposables test above 35% THC, triggering the 25% rate. This adds roughly $11–$14 in state excise alone on a $45 cart before local taxes are layered in.
