WHAT ARE DISPOSABLE VAPES?
What are disposable vapes and how do they work, are they worth it?
With the vaping becoming more popular and the vape industry becoming more and more developed and with our lives being more fast-paced, it’s no surprise that disposable vapes have become extremely popular. It make sense that there is a super easy, no-fuss system for vaping. It reminds me a little of traditional cigarettes. Why worry about coils, e-liquids and expensive devices, when you can just pickup a disposable and have a certain number of puffs and throw it away when your done. Disposable vapes are known for convenience.
Let’s look at disposables and then normal vapes and see which system looks more appealing.
What is a Disposable Vape?
Disposable vapes are self-contained vaping devices designed to be used until it is exhausted, then discarded. They are the perfect choice for the on-the-go person, who doesn’t want to really think too much about their device. In the past, disposable were not up to the same standard as traditional vapes, however in recent times they have improved and are now popular with vapers due to the design and improved performance.
Disposable vapes are usually small and come with a full tank of e-liquid and a fully charged battery with no means for recharging the battery or refilling the e-tank. Each device is a single-use product, meaning when the e-liquid has run out the device is then discarded and cannot be reused.
Disposable vapes come in several flavours, including:
– Tobacco
– Menthol
– Nicotine salts
– Candy
– Dessert
– Fruit
* Consumers require a prescription for all purchases of nicotine vaping products. This includes purchases from Australia and overseas
But if your worried about waste, then disposable are probably not for you. Disposables have lithium battery cells and when finished most of them end up in landfill, so that’s probable not that good for the environment.
How do Disposable Vapes work?
Vaping is an activity that has gained much popularity in recent years. A vape is an electronic device that simulates smoking experience. But what are Disposable vapes? They basically work the same way as normal traditionally vapes, but that cannot be recharged, or refilled and they usually don’t have a fire button. To use a disposable, all you need to do is suck! Usually a disposable will have a certain number of puffs and these days it can be as high as 4000 puffs or even more.
Who benefits from using Disposable Vapes?
Disposables are probably best as a first step for smokers that are looking to start vaping and quit smoking. There is nothing technical to learn, so it makes the switch over to vaping a little easier. They are also handy for longer term vapers want to have a spare or backup device.
Let’s summarize the pros and cons…
The pros of disposable vapes:
- Easy to use – with no buttons or plugs, they really are simple
- No maintenance – no need to fill or charge
- Cheaper setup cost – The initial cost is cheaper that setting up a normal vape
The cons of disposable vapes:
- Short lifespan – disposables only last for a certain number of puffs
- Wasteful – disposables go straight into the bin after us and the little device and battery cell is wasted
- Non-rechargeable – when that battery runs out, there is no recharging the device
- Cost more long-term – Disposables end up costing more that standard vapes, even though the initial set-up cost is lower the long term cost of using disposable vapes is much higher
- No functionality – Can’t turn them up or down, or change the airflow or anything
Conclusion: Disposable Vapes
Disposable vapes are ok for newcomers to vaping or for those who already vape and need to pick one up while on the go. However, disposable are not a good long term option. It is definitely better investing in a device that has functionality that you can tweak and that you can add your own e-liquid into. It is cheaper vaping e-liquid and you will enjoy vaping more if you have the option to turn your device up and down.
Disposables are also extremely wasteful and the lithium battery cells and their devices end up in landfill. Disposable also end up costing a fortune if they are the only devices you vape.
These days there are many small rechargeable, refillable and functional vape devices that are the same size and shape as a disposable device. So probably better to look that a normal device before going down the disposable path.
