Popular Vapes:
“Most disposables are built like fast food: quick, cheap, and forgettable. But the Fifty Bar 20K? This thing’s like a gourmet food truck. It hits hard, tastes incredible, and it’s actually made in the U.S. by folks who know flavor. The boost mode tech alone makes it worth your attention.”
It heats up fast, there's no stupid app to make it work, the flavor is immense, and it is incredibly easy to use. For most serious users, the Mighty+ is the only option worth bothering with. I've had mine for 5+ years now and it is still the best vaporizer in my collection (I own dozens). I use it daily, it's never missed a beat, and the dosing capsules mean less maintenance
If you've never used a vaporizer before, the PAX Plus is the perfect place to start. It's simple to use, compact, and doesn't cost too much. It also has some of the fastest heat-up times on the market and the flavor is decent too. Add in solid battery life and it's easy to see why it's so popular. For me, it's the perfect "first timers" vaporizer.
We’re big fans of the Crafty+ here. Why? Because it doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not—it’s a powerhouse vaporizer that’s actually portable, not just “technically portable.” It’s perfect for sessions on the go, but doesn’t skimp on quality like a lot of compact vapes.
This is a pocket-sized workhorse. The 50,000 puff claim actually holds up if you run it in regular mode, and the Boost mode is great when you want bigger vapour. The OLED display gives you battery, juice levels, and mode at a glance, which makes daily use foolproof. A true “set it and forget it” kit.
This one’s all about feel and flavour. It’s comfortable in the hand, the screen is bright and curved, and the dual-pod system means you can mix flavours without stopping. Turbo mode drinks battery faster but makes the vapour rich and dense. If you want your vape to look as good as it performs, this is your pick.
It’s familiar, easy, and built for anyone who wants the flavour and feel of a disposable without tossing one in the bin every couple of days. The visible juice window is a nice touch, the QUAQ mesh coil delivers big flavour, and the pods snap in magnetically for quick swaps. It’s not the biggest puff count out there, but it’s one of the easiest to pick up and live with.
The XROS 5 isn’t just the best option to buy now, it is the simplest, the least hassle to live with, and the most reliable and consistant. The OXVA's DNA-powered XLIM vape does more stuff but for most people, the XROS 5 is all you’re ever going to need or even want.
If you thought 25K puff disposables were pushing it, the NEXA Ultra 50K just rewrote the rulebook. You get crazy battery life, pass-through charging, and a level of draw control and performance usually reserved for full-blown pod mods. It’s a little on the bulky side, and some flavors are more mellow than bold. But overall, this is easily one of the most impressive all-in-one vapes I’ve tested this year.
VooPoo makes insanely robust vape mods. They’re built like tanks, they’re smart, and they’ll run basically everything. I’ve been a DRAG purist since way back in the day and the DRAG 5 is easily the best the company has done to date. I’ve had mine for 16 months and it still works perfectly.
All the most advanced new tech in the vape world is aimed at two types of devices: pod vapes and next-gen disposable vapes.
These are the two most popular types of vapes right now, with disposables (and hybrid disposables) having a significant lead.
Next-gen disposable vapes are more like hybrid vape mod/pod vapes now; they pack in detailed screens, support refillable pods, and the coil tech is some of the best on the market.
The real action now is in advanced pod kits — sleek, smart, and packed with features that would’ve sounded like sci-fi back in 2019. Think mesh coils, app connectivity, longer-lasting batteries, and even touchscreens in some models.
Basically, if you’re still clutching a basic stick-style pod or puffing on throwaway Elf Bars, you’re missing out on some seriously cool gear.
Here’s what’s setting the newest vapes apart from the old-school stuff:
Mesh Coil Technology
These days, mesh coils are standard kit — and for good reason. They heat your juice more evenly, which means:
Better flavor (and I mean noticeably better)
Faster ramp-up
Longer coil lifespan
Fun fact: The Vaporesso XROS series was one of the early adopters of proper mesh coils, and it’s still leagues ahead of most brands when it comes to flavor delivery.
Smart Features
Some pod vapes now connect to your phone. Yup, you read that right.
With Bluetooth and apps, you can:
Track your puffs per day
Adjust wattage and temp
Set limits (if you’re trying to cut back)
Even mix flavors inside the device. No, seriously
Built with Sustainability in Mind
Disposable vapes are a bin-filler’s nightmare. And while they’re still everywhere, the tide is turning. Reusable pod kits with recyclable packaging, refillable pods, and longer battery life are where most brands are heading now.
Easy answer: Pod systems. They dominate. And at the top of that list? The Vaporesso XROS Pro.
If you’ve been around VapeBeat for a while, you already know how much we rate this device. It delivers insane flavor, lasts all day, and charges fast. It’s the kind of vape you pick up and just never put down.
