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 Disposable Vape Has The Best Battery Life?
Back when disposables first became a thing, battery life was always an issue. You’d buy one, use it, and then the battery would die, oftentimes leaving vape juice left in the tank.
To make matters worse, these “first-gen” disposable vapes usually only did 1000 puffs or so. They were cheap, so no one really cared that much. But when the disposable market started to explode during 2020-2024, vape brands started innovating. There was money to be made.
Nowadays, you can get disposable vapes with 30,000 puffs, 20,000 puffs, or 5000 puffs. But the biggest change is that now the best ones not only come with larger batteries but they’re also rechargeable (like pod vapes).
So, what are the best disposable vapes for battery life? Here’s everything you need to know about what the VapeBeat team recommends right now.
Our #1 Recommendation For Battery Life Right Now
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 longest battery life, B) offers the best flavors, and C) 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 a shorter battery life 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

Buying Tips & Advice From A Pro
What should you get? That largely depends on your current situation. If you’re still smoking and want something to last a good week or two, your choice is clear: get the SWFT META 30000. It boasts the most puffs, superior coils, and exceptional flavors.
While the Flum MELLO 20000 is also a solid option, it oddly costs more than the SWFT META and delivers fewer puffs. Go figure.
A word of caution: steer clear of cheap, questionable disposables. Avoid gas station vapes or anything from a 7/11. Many of these are imported from China and simply don’t measure up. Stick with a reputable brand that’s been thoroughly vetted by experts (like us at VapeBeat).
If you’re new to vaping and want to try a disposable vape, my top recommendation is the SWFT META 30000; it’s the best by a considerable margin.
All the options we’ve listed are excellent—we rigorously tested them all. Out of over 80 disposables we evaluated this year, these were the ones that stood out.
But the SWFT META 30000 (as of right now) is very much in a league of its own.
For a more budget-friendly option with fewer puffs, try the Air Bar Nano 1500. It’s very affordable and a great way to see if vaping is right for you.
