What are the best Alternatives to Disposable Vapes?

April 13, 2023

Disposable vapes have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their unrivalled ease of use, affordability and convenience. Despite being modelled on the very first form of e-cigarettes to appear in the 2000s, modern disposable vapes now employ the latest advances in vaping and e-liquid technology to give users a supremely enjoyable vaping experience that closely matches that provided by the very best contemporary vape kits.

Disposable Vapes are great for those who are new to vaping or just need a quick, hassle-free option on a night out. However, they do have their drawbacks, such as being more expensive in the long run and contributing to environmental waste. Despite these disadvantages, disposable vapes still provide a means for smokers to consume nicotine with fewer of the dangerous additives of traditional tobacco and cigarettes.

Disadvantages of Disposable Vapes

Despite their convenience, performance and dazzling variety of styles, disposable vapes have some drawbacks that vapers should be aware of before choosing to use them. Here are some of the main disadvantages:

Environmental Impact:
Disposable vapes are designed to be thrown away after use -either when their e-liquid is spent or the battery expires - which creates a significant amount of waste in the form of plastic waste as well as chemical waste from the lithium batteries contained in every disposable vape bar. Most disposable vapes are not recyclable, and the chemicals and batteries they contain can harm the environment if not disposed of properly.
Limited Battery Life:
Disposable vapes have a limited battery life and may run out of power before you finish using them. This can be frustrating if you are in the middle of a vaping session and don't have a backup device on hand, especially a vape kit with the option of swapping out external batteries on the fly.
Limited Nicotine Strengths:
Disposable vapes typically come in a limited range of nicotine strengths, which may not be suitable for all vapers. Disposables typically contain nicotine salt e-liquid of 10mg and 20mg strengths, which is ideal for rapid relief from nicotine cravings but might not be the optimal strength for you, especially if you’re attempting to wean off nicotine completely by incrementally lowering your e-liquid strength, perhaps with the use of 3mg or 0mg e-liquids.
Higher Cost:
While disposable vapes may be cheaper upfront than other vape devices, they can end up being more expensive in the long run. The cost of constantly buying new disposable vapes can quickly add up, and you may end up spending more money over time than you would with a refillable device.

All that being said, Disposable Vapes are still useful devices, especially for smokers who would like to swap the harms of tobacco for vaping, but who might not know where to start. Given their disadvantages, however, it's no wonder that some vapers would prefer alternatives to disposable vapes to maximise their enjoyment while reducing waste and expense. In the next section, we'll explore some of the best reusable vape options available.

Reusable Vape Kits

There are many reusable vape kit alternatives available at Vapestore that are cost-effective, sustainable, and highly customizable. Reusable vapes like simple-to-use starter kits, pen vape kits, and low-powered pod kits offer a variety of advantages over disposable vapes:

Cost-effectiveness:
Reusable vape kits may require a higher initial investment, but they are generally more cost-effective in the long run. By purchasing a reusable vape and e-liquids, you can save money compared to constantly buying disposable vapes. For example, the Elf Bar Mate 500 Pod Kit, paired with disposable pods, is a money-saving and more sustainable alternative to disposable vapes but one that still shares the same simple-to-use, ergonomic, and lightweight form factor common to disposable vapes such as the iconic Elf Bar 600.
Diverse Styles:
With a wide variety of reusable vape kits available at Vapestore, you can easily find one that suits your personal style and preferences. From sleek pen vapes to more advanced vape kits and robust box mod kits, there is an option for everyone. Additionally, many reusable vapes come in a staggering variety of different colours and designs, allowing you to express your individuality.
Variety of E-Liquids:
Reusable vape kits give you the opportunity to explore a wider range of e-liquids, including 50/50, High-PG, High-VG and Nic Salts. You can try different flavours and nicotine strengths, allowing you to find the perfect combination to suit your tastes, without limiting you to the flavours offered by a particular brand of disposable vape devices.
Sustainability:
As mentioned above, one of the main drawbacks of disposable vapes is their environmental impact. Reusable vape kits, on the other hand, significantly reduce this impact. By using a reusable device with refillable pods or tanks, you're cutting down on the waste generated by disposable vapes. 'Coming soon' we will have disposable bins in store so vapers can work together to help reduce the environmental impact of disposable vapes.

All that being said, Disposable Vapes are still fantastic devices, especially for smokers who would like to swap the harms of tobacco for vaping, but who might not know where to start. Given their disadvantages, however, it's no wonder that some vapers would prefer alternatives to disposable vapes to maximise their enjoyment while reducing waste and expense. In the next section, we'll explore some of the best reusable vape options available.

Choosing the Right Reusable Vape Kit

When selecting a reusable vape kit, consider the following options based on your needs and preferences:

Starter Vape Kits

Starter kits are designed for those new to vaping, offering a simple and user-friendly experience. They often include a battery, a tank or pod, and a charging cable. These kits are easy to set up and maintain, making them an excellent choice for beginners. In truth, ‘Starter Kits’ is a very broad category that takes in a variety of pod kits, pen-style vapes and even some high-powered kits. The common feature to all, however, is their short learning curve and the ability to get vaping straight away!

Pen Vape Kits

Pen vape kits are the OG e-cigarette device and something of a 21st century design icon. They are slim and discreet, resembling a traditional pen making them easy to carry and use on-the-go for a supremely convenient vaping experience. Pen vape kits often have a simple one-button operation, making them a great option for those who want an uncomplicated device.

Low-Powered Pod Kits

Low-powered pod kits are perfect for users who prefer a mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping experience, which mimics the sensation of smoking a cigarette. These kits often come with refillable or prefilled disposable pods, making them a more sustainable alternative to disposable vapes.

Bar Salts E-liquids

What if you could enjoy your favourite disposable vape flavours but in your preferred reusable vape kit? That’s a question that many e-liquid manufacturers have enthusiastically answered in recent months, with many brands releasing E-Liquid Disposable Flavours that bring the intense, classic flavours of disposable vapes to your favourite reusable vape kit of choice.

Among the brands that successfully recreate the delightful taste of disposable vapes in 10ml e-liquids, UK vaping legends Vampire Vape truly stand out. They are the masterminds behind some of the most iconic and influential e-liquid flavours ever, including fan favourites like Heisenberg and Pinkman!

Vampire Vape Bar Salts are 10ml e-liquids designed for use in starter kits and pod kits, allowing you to savour your preferred flavours much longer than a 2ml disposable vape device, while also reducing plastic waste. Sharing the same nicotine salt formulation as their disposable counterparts, Vampire Vape Bar Salts provide satisfying relief from nicotine cravings, along with an incredibly smooth throat hit, making for a comfortable, effective, and enjoyable all-day vaping experience. Ideal for starter and pod vape kits, these 10ml nic-salt e-liquids offer long-lasting enjoyment, reduced plastic waste, and a variety of mouth-watering flavours inspired by popular disposable vape bars. Experience satisfaction and unparalleled taste with Vampire Vape Bar Salts.

While disposable vapes serve as a convenient and easy-to-use vaping option, reusable vape kits like starter kits, pen vape kits, and low-powered pod kits, as well as e-liquids, offer a host of extra features. By investing in a reusable vape kit, you can save money, reduce waste and protect the environment, and enjoy a more personalised vaping experience. Above all, both reusable and disposable vapes offer a legitimate alternative to the harms and expense of traditional tobacco and cigarettes and that makes them a worthy consideration for both current smokers and vapers.
