About disposable vape alternatives
Disposable vapes offer a convenient short-term option, perfect if you are going to a festival or on a night out and need something to keep your cravings at bay, but don’t want to have to take your vape kit and other vaping accessories with you.
However, using disposables all the time can be a costly way to vape. Each single disposable containing 2 ml of e-liquid costs around the same amount as a 10 ml bottle of e-liquid, or a pack of prefilled pods. Switching to a permanent device with replaceable pods or a refillable tank can be a much more budget-friendly option in the long run.
Not only are they costly to your wallet, but disposable vapes are not current recyclable, so using them long-term can result in a lot of extra waste being sent to landfill. Transitioning to a reusable vape kit will help you minimise the waste you are producing as you will only need to dispose of used pods or coils, rather than the entire kit.
Another benefit to using an alternative to disposables is that they offer more control, such as the ability to choose the nicotine strength that best suits your needs. Where most disposables are available in the highest nicotine strength, 20 mg/ml, not everyone will need this much nicotine to manage their cravings. E-liquids are available in a wide variety of strengths, so you can match your strength to your previous smoking habits, and also have the option to decrease your nicotine strength over time if you want.
