Anyone who has tried vaping or at least been around someone who vapes will have certainly heard of disposable vapes. When it comes to simplicity and convenience, these are the best option for vaping enthusiasts. They are designed in different shapes and sizes. They are also a healthier alternative to regular smoking.
This article explains how a disposable vape works, its pros and cons, and who can use it.
What are Disposable Vapes?
Disposable vapes, sometimes called e-cigarette, is a device that allows you to inhale vapor containing cannabidiol (CBD), nicotine, or flavors. This device, just like the traditional vaping device, provides a safer alternative to smoking tobacco-filled cigarettes.
However, unlike traditional vaping devices which can be used multiple times, disposable vapes are designed for one-time use. As the name suggests, you will have to dispose of them when the e-liquid finishes or the battery dies. You cannot refill or recharge them like the conventional vaping device.
How Do Disposable Vape Work?
Disposable vapes are ready to use. You don’t have to assemble the vaping mechanism or source for different parts of the vape to build the system. On the other hand, a disposable vape is an all-in-one device. It comes pre-installed with all key components. There are usually six parts in a disposable vape, each of which contributes to the vaping experience.
Battery
Every vaping device needs a battery to power the atomizer. A disposable vape comes with a built-in battery to power the heating mechanism. Unlike traditional vaping devices, the battery here is non-rechargeable. A typical battery capacity is 400mAh – 750mAh. This will give you at least as many charges as it takes to use up the e-liquid.
E-liquid
Disposable vapes come pre-filled with e-juice, which is heated to produce the vapor. It contains a mixture of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavoring, and nicotine or CBD. It is stored in the pod within the device and is heated when the battery is activated.
The Atomizer or Heating Element
A coil or atomizer heats the e-liquid and turns it into vapor. A battery activates the heating element when the user inhales through the mouthpiece, vaporizing the e-liquid.
Mouthpiece
The mouthpiece is the part of the vape where the user puts their mouth to inhale the vapor. It contains a chipset that activates the battery to power the heating element to convert the e-juice to vapor. They don’t have buttons to press. So you won’t have to worry about accidentally turning them on when they’re in your pocket.
Airflow Control
Newer models of disposable vapes may include an air control mechanism to control the tightness of the vapor draw and provide a smooth draw.
LED light
Your disposable vape might also come with a LED light to signify when you are drawing a puff from the vape or when the battery is getting low.
Using the Disposable Vape
Disposable vapes are super easy to use. You only need to remove the vaping device from the packaging to start use immediately. Put the mouthpiece in the mouth and draw a puff. This will start up the heating process to vaporize the e-liquid. Start slowly with short puffs. Then gradually increase the length of the puff until you get your desired effect.
For safety, we recommend you keep the device away from extreme temperatures or moisture. Don’t expose it to direct sunlight. Store it somewhere cool and dry.
Who Should Use the Disposable Vape?
Any smoker or vaper who wants a more convenient, compact, and less bulky vaping device should consider disposable vapes. They are available in funky, stylish, or discreet sizes, as well as different flavors.
For vaping newbies, disposable vapes are a perfect first step into the world of vaping. They cost less than conventional vaping devices so it doesn’t feel like a huge financial commitment. Also, they are available in different flavors. This allows you to try out a lot of options to know what works for you.
Expert vapers looking to take their vaping game to the next level can only opt for disposable vapes. While disposable vapes wouldn’t replace your former vaping device, they will provide a more compact vaping experience.
