Disposable Vape

Finding the right device to get your vaping journey started can be confusing and frustrating as a new vaper. Dealing with the latest technology, messy refills, maintenance and tweaking of the different parts can make vaping feel impossible and difficult.

Why not view our: vape pens, vape tanks, vape pods and vape RDA.

If you haven't had any vaping experience before, or you'd rather stay away from the trouble of maintaining or cleaning the vape, we recommend you try disposable vapes. These take away most of the headaches of dealing with standard vapes and give you an opportunity to enjoy vaping without the associated maintenance and information required to run refillable vapes.

What is a Disposable Vape?

A disposable vape is a small, non-rechargeable device. The device arrives pre-charged and pre-filled with e-liquid. With disposable vapes, you don't need to worry about replacing coils or refilling the e-liquid. The device comes out of the packaging ready to vape.

Disposable vapes are flexible and take out the difficulty of vaping for first-time users. This type of vaping device is rapidly growing in popularity because of how easy it is to use that full, reusable vape pen or vape pod.

Once you receive your disposable vape device from Flawless Vape Shop, all you have to do is inhale and go. Most novices, especially those transitioning from smoking, prefer disposable vapes because they mimic the smoking experience. They also deliver a satisfying solution for those looking to minimise the hassle of getting an excellent vaping experience.

Of course, as you become a more seasoned vaper, you will want to customise your vaping experience. At this point, you can look at our other collections of box mods, refillable vape pens and pods that allow you to play around with various settings and modes to customise your vaping experience.

What to Look For When Buying a Disposable Vape?

A disposable vape is a convenient and easy-to-use device that can provide hours of vaping pleasure. Many people are switching to disposable vapes as their sole source of nicotine or as a supplement to their main vape for on-the-go use.

If you are looking for a new disposable vape, here is what to look for when buying a disposable vape:

Compatibility

There are two different types of disposables: closed pod systems and open pod systems. Closed pod systems use pre-filled pods that are not refillable. While these are extremely convenient, they limit your choice in flavours and strengths and can be expensive if you smoke often. Open pod systems have empty pods that you fill with your e-liquid. This allows you more freedom in flavour and strength but requires some extra work on your part, filling each cartridge before use.

Battery Capacity

Choose a disposable vape with a higher battery capacity, and it will last longer. This is because the battery is one of the most important parts of the disposable vape pen, determining how long it can last before running out of power.

E-Liquid Capacity

When it comes to choosing the right e-liquid capacity for your disposable vape pen, there is no one size fits all solution. It depends on how much vaping you do in one sitting. If you tend to vape in short bursts throughout the day, then a smaller e-liquid capacity would be better suited for your needs. However, if you like taking frequent long hits of your favourite e-liquid flavour, then opt for a larger e-liquid capacity.

Flavour

There is a wide range of flavours available in the market. The choice is completely yours, from fruity flavours like strawberry and melon to dessert flavours like vanilla and chocolate!

Nicotine Strength

The nicotine strength for disposables is similar to other vaping devices and can be found in 2% (20mg), 5% (50mg) or even higher. When choosing your nicotine strength, you should pay attention to your current smoking rate and how many cigarettes you smoke per day and choose your nicotine strength accordingly. So, for example, if you smoke between 10 and 15 cigarettes per day, you should purchase a disposable vape with 5% (50mg) nicotine strength. If you smoke less than that, 2% (20mg) would be sufficient.

Quick Tips and Tricks When Using Disposable Vapes

Give Them a Shake

If your disposable vapes aren't working right, try giving them a good shake. This is because the wick can get clogged with residue from the e-juice. Simply shaking these devices should dislodge any debris that may be stuck in there, blocking juice flow. This can also help if you notice your vape is getting weaker as you use it. Shaking it before each use can help get things flowing again.

Store Your Disposable Vapes Properly

Disposable vapes are meant to be used up pretty quickly, but there are times when you won't finish yours fast enough and will need to store them for later. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources to do this properly. Storing a disposable vape in these conditions will ensure its battery doesn’t get weak from heat and sunlight exposure.

Don’t Use It Until You’re Ready

If you know you’ll be using your disposable vape soon, don't take it out of the packaging until then. This is because once you take it out, air will start leaking into the chamber, and it will gradually lose its charge and flavour regardless of whether or not you’re using it. So save yourself a little time by waiting until you need to use it before taking it out of the packaging.

Keep It Vertical

If you put your disposable vape down on its side, the e-juice could leak out because it doesn’t have a wick as standard vapes do. So if you need to set yours down, make sure to keep it upright at all times. This will help prevent any damage from occurring.

Don't Over-Inhale

When vaping, there is such a thing as inhaling too deeply. This is because e-liquids contain the solvent propylene glycol (PG). Under normal circumstances, PG is safe for humans and has no adverse effects on health. However, excessive inhalation can cause the throat to feel dry and scratchy like it does when smoking cigarettes. Make sure that you don't inhale too deeply when using your disposable vape.

What’s the Difference Between Pre-filled and Disposable Vapes?

Most vapers confuse Pre-Filled and Disposable Vapes. These are two different items that serve the same purpose to different users.

Pre-filled cartridges come with the liquid-filled. But this is only the cartridge. You will also need to purchase a battery to power the atomiser or the heating element to get the cartridge to work.

Some characteristics of pre-filled cartridges include:

• The batteries in cartridges are reusable.
• Most of the cartridges are disposable. But some can be reused and refilled.
• Most pre-filled cartridges come with the universal 510 threading. That means you can use different batteries with different cartridges.

On the other hand, disposable vape pens are a complete unit featuring the atomiser, the battery, the cartridge and vape liquid. With disposable vape pens, there's no assembly or purchasing or extra equipment required to get the unit working. The device comes ready to vape out of the package. 

Some characteristics of disposable vape pens include:

• The batteries don’t require charging.
• No maintenance or cleaning is necessary with this type of device.
• Disposable vapes are more affordably priced than pre-filled cartridges.

As a novice vaper, disposable vape pens are an ideal option for you. Disposable vape pens are also recommended if you are getting your first device or don't have a battery to power your cartridge. The pre-filled cartridges are for slightly experienced vapers.
