If you’re brand new to vaping and you fancy whetting your whistle, the best place to start is with disposables. Here’s VapeBeat’s pick of the best disposable vapes for beginners
What is The Best Disposable Vape For Beginners?
You’re lucky. Back when I started vaping, all we had were clunky vape pen kits, cartomizers, and massive vape mod + tank kits. They were fiddly, expensive, and difficult to get working. How times have changed.
Right now, there’s never been a better time to quit smoking and start vaping. You have pods and disposables that are so easy to use, so hassle-free that literally anyone can figure them out. Most of the time (like with the vapes listed below), you just unbox them and start vaping.
That’s literally it.
So, what are the best disposable vapes for beginners? Here’s everything you need to know about what the VapeBeat team recommends right now.
Our #1 Recommendation For Beginners That Want It All
Editor’s Choice For 2024
SWFT META 30000
The SWFT META 30000 is the best disposable on the market right now. It does the most puffs (30,000), the flavors are immense, and it costs less than the Flum Mello despite having 10K more puffs. Brilliant stuff, across the board.
The SWFT META 30000 is incredible. It lasts forever, and the flavors stay consistent till the end. I don’t think I’ll ever switch to another vape.
— Drake Equation, VapeBeat
Pros / Why We Like It
Puff Capacity: Up to 30,000 puffs
24mL pre-filled with 5% nicotine salt juice
850mAh battery, rechargeable via USB-C
3 adjustable power modes (Soft, Smooth, Boost)
Dual mesh coil for enhanced flavor
And Here’s The Best of The Rest…
The main reason we recommend the SWFT META 30000 is because it A) has the most puffs, B) has the best flavors, and B) it is cheaper than our #2 option, the Flum Mello 20000. It’s simple to use, has easily some of the best flavors you’ll come across in today’s market, and it is completely rechargeable too.
But if you need other options, perhaps a disposable with fewer puffs and a lower price point, these are the vapes we currently recommend. I’ve included the SWFT META 30000 at the top for the sake of comparison.

Great, But Pricier Than SWFT META
Flum Mello 20000
The Flum Mello is our second choice. It comes with some amazing flavors, the coils are brilliant, and it’ll do 20,000 puffs and is rechargeable too. The only reason it’s not #1 is that it doesn’t do as many puffs as the SWFT META and it costs more.
Flum Mello 20000 was my go-to vape for ages. The battery life is amazing, and the rich flavors make every puff enjoyable. The SWFT has it edged with price and puff count though.

Pros / Why We Like It
20,000 puff count, offering extended use
650mAh battery with Type-C charging
HD display showing e-liquid and battery levels
Adjustable airflow for customized vaping
Awesome choice of flavors
Great Design, Excellent Flavors
GeekBar Pulse 15000
The GeekBar Pulse 15K is a compact, high-puff-count disposable that delivers buckets of flavor and is fully rechargeable. It lacks the sheer volume of puffs as our top choices, but it makes up for this with its innovative design and excellent flavor options.
I love the GeekBar Pulse 15000. It’s sleek, lasts a long time, and the vapor quality is top-notch. Add in its display and mesh coil tech and you’re in a very good place.
— Drake Equation, VapeBeat
Pros / Why We Like It
Long-lasting with 15,000 puff count
Rechargeable battery for extended use
Mesh coil technology for improved flavor
Wide range of flavor options
Great size, nice and compact
Outstanding Flavor Profiles
7 Daze Clickmate 15K
The 7 Daze Ohmlet was our go-to disposable for ages, and the reason was its flavor – it was off the charts. With the 7 Daze Clickmate, you still get the best flavor on the market but just not as many puffs which is its only downside. Otherwise, it’s perfect.
The compact design and powerful performance make it a standout choice. Plus no one can touch 7 Daze’s flavors. They’re unbeatable.
— Drake Equation, VapeBeat
Pros / Why We Like It
15,000 puff capacity for long-term use
Rechargeable design with USB-C port
Adjustable airflow system
Unique click-to-vape activation
7 Daze has the best flavors in the business
Best Budget Option
Air Bar Nano 1500
If you’re looking for a disposable vape that is a little cheaper but still packs a punch in the flavor department, look no further than the Air Bar Nano 1500. This tiny disposable retails for next to nothing, will do 1500 puffs, and has flavors to die for – perfect for brand new vapers looking to test the water.
The Air Bar Nano 1500 is perfect for anyone on a budget or first time vapers. It’s compact, easy to use, and the flavors are great.

Pros / Why We Like It
Compact and portable design
1500 puff count, not the biggest but great for beginners
Draw-activated firing mechanism for ease of use
Really cheap to buy, great for testing the waters
Buying Advice & Tips For First Time Users
What should you get? That kind of depends on where you’re at. If you’re still smoking, you’ll want something that’ll last a good week or two. In that case, it’s simple: get the SWFT META 30000. It has the most puffs, the best coils, and the best flavors.
The Flum MELLO 20000 is great too but, oddly, it costs more than the SWFT META and does fewer puffs. Go figure.
Also, please, please avoid cheap, dodgy disposables.
Avoid gas station vapes or anything from a 7/11. Most of them are imported from China and suck. Go with a proper vape from a proper brand that has been vetted by people that care about this kind of thing (us, VapeBeat).
If you’re new to vaping and want to try a disposable vape, my advice would be to go with one of the options recommended above. Specifically, the SWFT META 30000; it’s the best by a considerable margin.
All of the options included, however, are great – we tested them all. Out of maybe 80+ disposables we tested this year, those were the ones that made the cut, the ones listed above.
But the SWFT one? That’s just on another level entirely.
For a cheaper option with fewer puffs, go with the Air Bar Nano 1500 – it’s really inexpensive and it is a great way to test out whether vaping is for you or not.
