✅ Simple To Use
Disposable vapes are simple devices. There’s no buttons, settings or moving parts. You unpackage it and it is ready to go – it couldn’t be simpler.
🧃 Great Flavors
With flavors, disposable vapes are brilliant. There’s a universe of awesome flavors to try, covering every possible taste and quirk.
😶🌫️ Loads of Puffs
You can get disposable vapes with puffs ranging from 600 all the way up to 17000 puffs
🌎 Terrible For The Environment
Because they’re single use products (and they don’t last long), they contribute massively to e-waste. It is much better to use refillable pod vapes for this reason.
Disposable vapes are the most popular type of vaping device on the market. They’re convenient and easy to use. But is this a good thing?
Key Takeaways 📝

- How They Work 🔋: Inhale to activate a sensor, heating the e-liquid into vapor. Mimics smoking without the smoke.
- Disposable vs. Pod Vapes 🆚:
- Disposables ✅: Best for those who value convenience and simplicity. Zero maintenance required.
- Pod Vapes 🔄: Rechargeable and often refillable. More cost-effective and eco-friendly over time. Offers flexibility in flavors and nicotine strengths, along with better vapor quality and customizable settings.
- Your Choice 🤔: Disposables are great for ease and portability, while pod vapes suit those looking for value, environmental benefits, and customization.

Editor’s Note
As someone that has vaped – and run a vaping site – for over 10 years, I’ve seen a lot of trends come and go.
Back in the day, it was all rebuildable tanks, vape mods, and coil building.
Nowadays, it is all about disposable vapes – and there’s an argument that this isn’t a good thing.
Traditionally, vaping has been about stopping smoking.
But thanks to inevitable market forces, more and more youngsters (that have never smoked) are picking up vaping, thanks to disposable vapes.
This means negative headlines and bad news for the rest of us.
There’s also the environment impact too. Single use products, be they vapes or AirPods, are not great for the environment.
They fill up landfills and, for the most part, cannot be recycled. My advice? If you’re going to vape, use a pod vape.
And if you want my advice on which one to get? Here’s all the gear I’m using right now (including my pod vape of choice)
Why are pod vapes better than disposables? They’re cheaper, they’re not single use (so, less e-waste), and you get exactly the same level of flavor (and more performance).
