Disposable Vapes

Disposable Vapes

Shopping vapes can be confusing. There are different types of vapes, not to mention the numerous features and technical terms you'll encounter. As a new vaper, you will probably start with disposable vapes.

Disposable vapes are an excellent option for beginners and intermediate vapers looking for simplicity and a good balance of performance and cost. They also make an excellent choice if you're wetting your feet before going all-in on vaping.

If you think disposable vapes are the ideal option for you, here is a look at everything about them and how to make the most out of your new disposable vape.

What is a Disposable Vape?

Disposable vape pens are small non-rechargeable vape devices that are pre-filled with vape liquid and pre-charged. The device takes out all the technicalities of setting up your device, inserting the coils and assembly. It comes ready to vape out of the box.

There are no settings or adjustments required for disposable vapes, so the vaper doesn't need to understand how wattage and voltage affect the quality of the vape. Everything is already done for you. 

With disposable vapes, you can enjoy vaping without the worry of maintenance or the messy refills that come with other types of devices. For vapers that want to focus on the experience, disposable vapes are the best pick.

Parts of a Disposable Vape

Disposable vapes have several parts that come together to deliver a spectacular vaping experience that sets the stage for many more experiences.

The battery

The battery is the power source for the device. In the case of disposable vapes, the battery is not rechargeable. The power from the battery is converted into heat in the atomizer.

The atomizer

The atomizer is also referred to as the heating element. It’s the part that converts the power from the battery into heat which turns the e-liquid of CBD vape liquid into a flavourful vapour. Some disposable vapes have the tank and the atomizer built into one because the tank is not refillable. 

The tank

The role of the tank in a disposable vape pen is rather simple. It holds the vaping material in place. Most tanks will have a viewing area that allows you to keep track of how much vape material you have left in place.

The mouthpiece

This is where you place your lips when you want to vape. When you take a draw, the vapour is funnelled from the atomizer through the mouthpiece into your lungs. Mouthpieces come in various shapes, but they serve the same purpose.

Advantages of Disposable Vapes

Even though disposable vape pens are entry-level devices, they come with plenty of benefits. Some of these include:

They are lightweight and compact

Disposable vapes are among the most lightweight and compact vape devices in the market. They don't pack a lot of technology or features, which makes them easy to conceal, and they are amazingly compact. This is vital for first-time vapers who want to vape discreetly.

Easy to use

With disposable vape pens, there's no science to using the pens. They are as simple as taking out of the box and vaping. The pens don't need any adjustments, and a majority of them are button-free. They are draw-activated, which further eases the process of using the pens. Their ease of use makes disposable vapes great for those who are entirely new to vaping.

Maintenance-free

Another benefit of using disposable vapes is they're maintenance-free. They don't require cleaning, refilling, coil replacement, or charging the batteries. This saves you a lot of time and ensures you can focus on enjoying the vape instead of messing around with the device.

Difference Between Disposable and Refillable Vapes

Refillable vapes and disposable vapes have plenty in common. But they also have differences. Understanding these differences is critical in helping make you the right choice of vaping device.

Refillable devices come with a refillable tank. Most of the essential parts like the atomizer, coils and batteries are replaceable. With pre-filled devices, you also have the flexibility of adding your preferred vape liquid.

Expectedly, refillable vapes also require more responsibilities. You not only need to refill the device, but you also need to recharge and complete regular maintenance on the device.

Other characteristics of refillable vapes include:

  • Batteries are reusable
  • Coils are replaceable
  • The device has multiple buttons and requires adjustments of the settings
  • It comes with a charging cable

Disposable vapes, on the other hand, are a simplified version of refillable devices. The pre-filled versions don't have most of the requirements that come with refillable vapes. Some of the characteristics of pre-filled vapes include:

  • The battery is not rechargeable
  • The tank comes pre-filled with vape juice
  • The disposable vapes are affordably price than the refillable options
  • No maintenance or adjusting of settings required while using the device

How Do Disposable Vapes Work?

The functioning of disposable vapes is rather straightforward. Once you activate the firing mechanism by either drawing or pressing the firing button, the battery connects with the atomizer. The coil rapidly heats up and starts vaporising the vape liquid in contact with the hot coils. Once you inhale, the vapour leaves the atomizer, up the mouthpiece and into your lungs.

How to Use Disposable Vapes

Disposable vapes are not technical devices to use. Once you receive your device, take it out of the packaging. If it’s your first time using a disposable vape pen, be sure to go through the user manual. Proceed to check the device to see if it has any buttons. If it doesn't, the device is draw-activated, which makes it even simpler to use.

If the device has a button, you should use the button to power on the device and when firing. The vape pen already has the battery charged and vape juice added. All you should do is activate the device using the appropriate system and draw from the mouthpiece.

How Long Do Disposable Pens Last?

With disposable vapes, there comes a time when you can no longer use the device, and you have to dispose of it or send it for recycling.

How long the device lasts depends on several factors. The first is the capacity of the tank. Some disposable vapes have a tank capacity of about 1.3ml. These will last for about 300 puffs.

Devices with about 2ml tank capacity have about 540 puffs. If you’re a more avid vaper, there are more advanced options that you can consider that will last longer.

Another factor that will affect how long your disposable vape lasts is how often you vape and the length of your draws. If you vape often and have long draws, the vape juice will run out faster than a more casual vaper with shorter draws.

If you find that disposable vapes aren’t getting the job done for you, you can check out our range of refillable vapes, pods and mods that are an excellent upgrade and will easily keep with your vaping demands.

Who Are Disposable Vapes For?

Almost every level of vaper might have used for a disposable vape pen. However, the device is common among entry-level vapers owing to its simplicity and ease of use. Intermediate vapers can also benefit from a disposable vape as a backup device while they master the ins and outs of refillable vapes.

Seasoned vapers also tend to prefer carrying disposable vapes when going away for the weekend. That’s because they are more portable and easier to use on the road compared to the chunky mods.
