Disposable Vape Alternatives

The lifespan of a disposable vape depends on its e-liquid capacity, brand, and your vaping habits. A standard 2ml kit should last most vapers between 300 to 600 puffs and at least a full day of use. Whereas devices such as the Titan 10K come with 8 x 2ml pods for an impressive 10,000 puffs experience. 

Many smokers use vaping as a cessation tool to help reduce or stop smoking altogether. A major advantage of vaping is it mimics the sensation of a cigarette and allows you to take back control of your nicotine intake.

Single use devices are available in a range of nicotine strengths. Such as 0mg, 10mg, and 20mg.

The most common strength is 20mg, which is the equivalent of 20+ cigarettes. Whereas 10mg is a great starter point for moderate smokers and works out to 10-20 a day.

Disposable vapes can be recycled by returning them to specific retailers or in battery bins at your local supermarket. Our head office shop in Accrington offers an environmentally friendly recycling service. You can return your used disposable vape pens free of charge, and they will be recycled responsibly. Our sister company Totally Wicked also offers the same service in its stores nationwide.

It's important to dispose of your devices responsibly and taking any of the above routes will ensure you do so safely.

Disposables are designed to be just as safe as any other vape kit. But like most devices safety measures do need to be considered during and after use. Such as safe storage out of direct sunlight and away from children and pets. It is also important if battery issues arise avoid using the device and contact your seller.

Despite the misleading headlines seen across the internet, vaping is still 95% safer than smoking according to the UK Health Security Agency.

You can travel with disposable vapes. But there are things you should consider. When flying with a disposable vape, you should store it in your carry-on hand luggage as airlines prohibit them from being in the hold due to safety concerns. You are allowed up to 20 batteries on a plane, however, these include other electronic devices you are taking such as a mobile phone.

It is also important to check restrictions and if any products are banned in the country you are visiting.

Single use devices cannot be recharged, however the new complaint alternatives are designed to be reused. Simply plug into a laptop or tv using a USB-C charging cable.

Disposables taste better than other ecigs as they use a higher flavour concentrate to provide a much richer taste. Plus, the nic salt formula makes the throat hit much smoother.

A disposable vape can’t be ‘unburnt’. Typically you experience this issue when a device has low liquid levels or poor wicking. When you use a device such as the BM6000 it is important to let the coil prime for 5-10 minutes after filling the tank.

Disposable vapes have an expiration date that varies from brand to brand. Most devices lifespan will be printed on the packing or the vape itself. For example, on the side of the Elf Bar box, it details the manufacturer and expiration date. Typically, devices have a shelf life of 1-3 years.

Straight out of the pack, 10ml + 2ml disposables will last the longest as they come with the most vape juice. However, with the new regulations, all vapes must have refills available. This means that a 2ml kit like the Elf Bar 600 can last just as long if you buy multiple replacement pods.

Standard vape kits like the Vaporesso XROS 4 require frequent maintenance. Such as charging the battery, refills, and the occasional change of coils or pods. Whereas disposables provide a convenient all in one experience with a set amount of puffs per device. They're a perfect choice for beginners who are looking to switch from smoking.

Disposable Vapes offer a convenient change for smokers. However, convenience comes at a price as constantly replacing a device can be expensive.
