Disposable Vapes
How long does a disposable vape last?
It depends on the puff count and how often you vape. A 10,000-puff device usually lasts most users 3 to 7 days. See our best disposables guide.
What does a 10,000 puff count really mean?
Puff counts are an estimate of total draws available. Heavy vapers will finish a device faster, while light users can stretch it well past a week.
Which is the most popular disposable vape?
The IGET Bar Pro range is consistently our best seller. Browse all disposable vapes to compare options.
Can I recharge a disposable vape?
Some newer disposables include a USB-C port for recharging the battery while the e-liquid lasts. Check the product description before buying.
How do I know when a disposable vape is empty?
Flavour drops, weak vapour and a burnt taste all mean the device is nearly done. Read our guide to signs your disposable is empty.
Are disposable vapes cheaper than pod kits?
Disposables cost less upfront, while pod kits cost less per puff over time. Compare the numbers in our disposable vs pod kit cost guide.
E-Liquids & Nicotine
What is the difference between nicotine salts and freebase?
Nic salts are smoother at higher strengths and absorb faster, while freebase offers a stronger throat hit at lower strengths. Choose based on your device and preference.
Which nicotine strength should I choose?
Heavy smokers often start at 20 mg/ml or higher with nic salts, while light or social vapers prefer 3 to 6 mg/ml. See our e-liquid ratio guide for help.
What does VG/PG ratio mean?
VG gives thicker vapour and smoothness, while PG carries flavour and throat hit. 50/50 suits pod systems; higher VG suits bigger devices.
Why does my vape taste burnt?
A burnt taste usually means a dry or worn-out coil. Learn how to fix it in our guide to fixing a burnt coil.
Can I mix my own e-liquid?
Yes, experienced users can DIY with separate VG, PG, flavour and nicotine. Always follow mixing safety guidelines and buy ingredients from trusted sources.
Why is my vape leaking?
Leaks are often caused by overfilling, loose seals or temperature changes. See our guide to fixing vape leaks.
