How to make your disposable vape pen last longer

If you’re a regular user of single-use disposable vape pens, you’ll probably be familiar with the advertised number of puffs that each device is designed to deliver.

What you might be less familiar with is how to ensure you get the most out of each and every disposable. This guide will provide you with helpful tips to get considerably more puffs for your pounds.

The last couple of years have seen an exponential increase in the number of disposable vape bars being sold globally.

Single-use vapes definitely have their place in the vaping world. They are proven to be extremely effective at getting smokers that may be sceptical about vaping to give it a go. That’s down to there being minimal initial monetary outlay and no complexity to the device.

What we want to address here is how to ensure that adult vapers, choosing disposables as their quit smoking method, get the most bang for their buck.

In the UK, and any other country where the vaping industry is tightly regulated, the most common number of puffs you should see advertised on a disposable device is 600.

Purchasing your vapes from a responsible retailer, such as Vape UK, means that you can be sure that your chosen disposable meets all the legal requirements and has been sourced from a legitimate supplier.

One way you can be confident that everything you purchase from Vape UK is totally legit is our close partnership with UKVIA.

We are heavily involved in industry conversations regarding the staggering lack of regulatory enforcement when it comes to the sale of illicit vapes. We are calling for prosecution and fines for offenders to be far more severe than they currently are. We would also like to see retailers being required to be fully licensed to sell vapes, to reduce the number of shady vendors.

You may have read stories in the news recently about Elf Bar 600's being recalled from retailers for issues of non-compliance.

In the UK, the legal amount of e-liquid that contains nicotine present in any vaping device is 2ml, with a maximum nicotine strength of 2% (20mg).

In the interests of balance, it’s worth pointing out that, as much as we recognise the need for our suppliers to meet the tight regulations imposed on UK vaping products, as a duty of care to our customers, the outrage in the media over this story was (in parts) exaggerated to further an anti-vaping agenda.

Yes, the tested (and subsequently recalled) disposables contained more than the legally mandated 2ml of nicotine e-liquid. However, the nicotine levels were only higher than 2% if you didn’t account for the overfill. In other words, if there had been only 2ml of e-liquid then the nicotine level would have been too high by volume; but there wasn’t, so it wasn’t.

Since this unfortunate incident, products such as the Elf Bar 600 for the UK market now contain a smaller battery than before.

According to testing, the smaller battery and accurate e-liquid volume should still deliver 600 puffs to the user. However, we’ve been receiving lots of comments from our customers saying that they’re noticing a decline in the longevity of their vape bars.

The answer to this question is a frustrating one - it depends.

600 puffs is the equivalent of roughly 45 cigarettes. Logically speaking, a disposable vape should last you as long as it would have taken you to smoke two packs of ciggies. However, even though they’re designed to closely replicate smoking, in reality, there are differences that can mean you get through single-use vapes faster.

If you’ve just quit smoking then your nicotine cravings will be at their most intense.

If you’re finding yourself reaching for your vape bar more often than you’d like, you’ve probably started on too low a strength to manage them.

When you were a smoker, chances are you weren’t lighting up every few minutes.

You can’t light a cigarette, take a few puffs, and then put it down for later. Once you light up, you're committed to smoking the whole thing. This means you would have made a conscious decision about when to have a cigarette.

On a similar theme, if you’ve not got your disposable in your hand, then you can’t vape it!

I’m a massive culprit for this; my vape is always with me, no matter where I am or what I’m doing. I have to remind myself that I’m only going into the kitchen to make a brew - I don’t need to take my vape along!

When I mentioned earlier that disposable vapes are tested to measure their puff count, I meant that this is done by a vaping machine rather than a person.

This means that each puff that is registered is a consistent length - usually about one second, which is the average length of time taken when drawing on a cigarette.

When you smoke a cigarette, it’s always lit and ready for the next puff.

If you’re short on time, or your cravings are particularly intense, this can lead to chain smoking (several puffs in quick succession).

One of the best things about vaping is the variety of flavours on offer.

Let’s face it, cigarettes taste grim, so swapping the smokes for something that tastes infinitely better is one of the main reasons why vaping is the most successful quitting method around.

We’ve established at length that disposables are a fantastic way to transition from smoking to vaping, but they shouldn’t be your long term solution.

The cost to the planet is one concerning factor; but the cost to you is something that can be massively reduced by switching to a refillable and rechargeable device.
