Disposable Vapes the Pros and Cons

Disposable Vapes: the Pros and Cons

Who are disposable vapes suitable for?

Disposable Vapes Pros and Cons ; Disposable vaping devices are a fantastic choice for complete beginners

who want to practice vaping with a simple-to-use device. They’re equally suited for more experienced

vapers who want to try out a new flavour variety!

We look at the pros and cons of vaping disposable vapes. One of the most exciting trends to have emerged in vaping over the last couple of years is even more remarkable for how the products resemble the original vape that first brought vaping to the masses nearly two decades ago: the disposable e-cigarette. Although it goes without saying that today’s disposable vape kits barely resemble those unsatisfying and tasteless cig-a-likes of yesteryear, and that’s something we can all be grateful for. Instead, the ludicrous popularity of today’s disposable e-cigs can be pinned almost entirely on the vapes core feature: simplicity.

What are disposable vapes?

Disposable vape kits are inexpensive, easy to use, and convenient to carry around. These clever little machines come pre-filled with e-liquid flavours and do not require any maintenance, meaning you don’t need to top up your device with juice or swap out any components like coils, pods and tanks!

There are other qualities that make today’s disposable vape bars so sought after, but the fact that

disposable vape bars – often called ‘puff bars’ – offer vapers a truly satisfying and delicious way to

satisfynicotine cravings with none of the fuss of more manual types of vape kits is something that

deserves to

be celebrated. But while the disposable puff bar has many things going for it, there are inevitably some

disadvantages that make other types of vapes just as viable for all types of vaper, whether it’s a pod

kit sub-ohm vape kit or classic vape pen.

Here, then, is a quick guide to the pros and cons of disposable vapes including some great alternatives if you’re still after a simple and satisfying vaping experience.

Disposable Vape Kits: The Pros

There’s no getting around the fact that a disposable e-cig offers the most foolproof method for vaping around. Disposable all-in-one puff bars require no more operation that removing the vape from its wrapper and taking a puff, just as you would a normal cigarette. This simplicity makes the puff bar the ultimate convenience of vaping.

Highly Portable

Many vape kits shout about how compact they are, but few of them beat the disposable puff bar for packing the most performance into such a tiny vaping vessel. Puff bars are generally no bigger than a lipstick or cigarette lighter, meaning they can travel in any pocket or compartment, ready at a moment’s notice.

Discretion;Disposable Vapes Pros and Cons

While nowhere near as noxious or anti-social as traditional cigarettes and tobacco, vaping can still cause

unwelcome glances when you’re out and about or in a crowd. Disposable puff bars, however, emit far less

vapour than other vapes, because their internal battery fires at a much lower wattage, usually between

8-18w. This makes them far more discreet and inconspicuous than higher-powered vape kits.

Flavour

With all the biggest names in e-liquid clamouring to release their own puff bars, from IVG to Dinner Lady and even heavyweight vaping manufacturers like Smok and GeekVape. You can be assured that nearly all of your favourite e-liquid flavours can be found in puff bar form.

Experimentation

If you’re new to vaping, having a simple, low-cost means of vaping like puff bars opens you up to a world of experimentation. You can easily swap one flavour of puff bar for another, until you find the flavour that’s perfect for you, be it fruits, tobacco, menthols or more.

Beat Cravings Fast;Disposable Vapes Pros and Cons

Disposable e-cigarettes don’t just offer delicious flavours in a fuss-free vape kit. Most all disposables contain nicotine salt e-liquid, a formulation that has an advantage over regular freebase nicotine e-liquids

in that it can deliver stronger doses of nicotine without the harsh throat sensation that can occur with

freebase. That means disposable puff bars can satisfy nicotine cravings faster and more effectively, a real

boon if you’ve only just swapped smoking for vaping. Although the same can be said for any vape kit filled with nicotine salt e-liquid

Disposable Vape Kits: The Cons

Environmental Impact

While an all-in-one disposable vapes might bring extraordinary benefits for the user, the same, sadly,

cannot be said for the environment. Being made of non-organic plastic makes disposable vape kits a detrimental and unsustainable product, like much plastic waste. This makes refillable pod kits, which we’ll get to in a moment, a far less wasteful form of vaping.

Cost;Disposable Vapes Pros and Cons

Considering the fact that the average disposable vape puff bar costs around £4.99, almost half the cost of

a packet of 20 cigarettes and which lasts as long, if not more, than a pack of traditional smokes, then

you’d right to assume that vaping disposable puff bars is far more economical than smoking. However, compared to other forms of vaping, puff bars can actually be more expensive in the long run, although

still less than a smoking habit. Buying one refillable vape and topping up with e-liquid as and when you

need it rather than disposing of the vape every time its’s spent works out far better for your wallet in the

long-term.

Limited Use;Disposable Vapes Pros and Cons

The simplicity of disposable vape bars is as much their biggest con as it is their biggest pro. You’re kind of stuck with the flavours offered by the manufacturers, rather than free to experiment. Because once you begin to enjoy vaping disposable vape bars, there is a world of other vapes and vaping styles, with

features you won’t find with puff bars. There are highly customizable pod kits which let you tailor your

vape to your exact preferences through a combination of coils and wattage settings. There is the rich,

billowing clouds that are the domain of sub-ohm vaping: high-powered kits that produce dense,

satisfying clouds from high-VG e-liquids.

If you’re looking to swap smoking for the far safer and more enjoyable world of vaping, consider

disposable puff bars as your gateway to an endlessly rewarding hobby full of adventure and discovery.

easy as that!

What types of e-liquids and nicotine strengths do disposable vapes have?

The majority of disposable vapes come with pre-filled 2ml 20mg nicotine salts in varying flavours. Nicotine salts are proven to be the most effective choice for ex-smokers due to their rapid nicotine

delivery and satisfyingly smooth throat hits.

Can you refill disposable vapes?

As disposable vapes are designed for the ultimate ease of use, they do not require any e-liquid refills or

component swaps.

Why do disposable vapes run out?Disposable Vapes Pros and Cons

Disposable vapes will run out of juice once the set puff count has been vaped. This just means that you’ve used up all of the e-liquid which is pre-filled inside your device.

How will I know when my disposable vape is empty?

You’ll need to replace your vape once it begins to present weaker flavour hits or no flavour whatsoever. Simply replace, vape, and repeat!

How long is a disposable vape supposed to last?

Disposable vape offer varying puff counts between 500-600 puffs, which is the equivalent to around 45 cigarettes. So, if you previously smoked 20 or more cigarettes a day, your disposable device should last you up to two days. YOLO Bars provide up to 575 puffs, which is the optimum amount for a fulfilling vaping experience!

Can you travel with disposable vapes?Disposable Vapes Pros and Cons

Yes, you can travel with disposable vapes so long as you store them in your carry-on luggage (this excludes your checked luggage i.e your suitcase.) You won’t be allowed to use your disposable device

once you’re on a plane, however most if not all UK airports have smoking/vaping areas available to use

while you’re waiting to board. If you’re ever unsure, we always recommend checking with your airline first.

What are the alternatives to disposable vape kits?Disposable Vapes Pros and Cons

If you love the simplicity of puff bars, then you’re only a short, simple step away from the world of pre-filled and refillable pod kits, vapes that mimic the convenience of disposables but offer far more flexibility, performance and save you money in the long-term.

Instead of an all-in-one vape, refillable pod kits use pods with a fixed coil of varying resistances that you can top up at will with your favourite e-liquids. Once your pod begins to lose flavour, it means that the coil has reached the end of its life, so all you need to do is replace the pod rather than throw away the whole vape kit as you would with a disposable. Pref-filled pod kits work similarly but offer pods pre-filled with e-liquids from some of the biggest vaping brands.
