Convenience & User Friendly
The biggest factor in the success of disposable vapes is their user friendliness. Devices come pre-loaded with vape juice, coil, and a pre-charged battery—eliminating the hassle of filling pods or changing coils. No need to worry about charging; just open the packet and vape. This convenience is why many beginner vapers choose disposables.
-
Cheap Cost
Another pro is the low cost. Popular vapes like the SKE Crystal Bar cost only £3.90 or 3 for £10. In comparison, a regular vape kit or pod device has a higher initial cost (£20–£30 for devices like the Aspire Gotek X or Oxva Xlim Pro), plus pods (£6–£10) and e-liquids (£4 for nic salts, Elux salts at £3.99 or 4 for £10).
-
Harmful To Environment
Despite their convenience, disposables can be more harmful to the environment than regular vape devices. Disposable vapes are single-use, so you throw them out when finished, unlike vape kits that you refill. Most disposables are made of non-recyclable plastic, resulting in significant plastic and battery waste.
-
Increased Costs Over Time
While the initial cost of a vape kit is higher, once you own it, you only need to buy e-liquids and pods—less often than replacing disposables. Disposables contain up to 2ml of juice, while nic salts come in 10ml bottles and short fills up to 100ml for tanks. Studies show you can save over £1000 annually by switching to a vape kit.
