What Can I Use to Switch From Disposable Vapes?

While some devices are particularly suitable for use as a disposable vape alternative, literally any vape device can be used as an alternative. At their core, all vape devices are a battery heating a coil - even disposables. So the choice is massive.

That said - as disposable users are likely looking for convenience. - there are a few subsets of devices that are more useful as alternatives than others

One popular option is the refillable pod system. These devices offer simplicity and ease of use, making them an excellent choice for those transitioning from disposable vapes. With refillable pods, you can fill the pod with your favourite e-liquid and replace the coil when needed. This provides a hassle-free vaping experience while minimising waste.

Another alternative worth considering is the vape pen. Vape pens come in various shapes and sizes, but they all have similar functionality. These devices are often beginner-friendly and offer a seamless transition from disposable vapes. With a vape pen, you can enjoy the convenience of a compact design while still having the option to customise your vaping experience. Often, you can get pre-filled pods - the disposable manufacturers sometimes make rechargeable versions of their disposables - often with replaceable pre-filled pods.

If you're looking for something compact and discreet, pod mods might be the perfect fit for you. These devices combine the convenience of pod systems with the power of box mods, offering a portable and versatile vaping experience. With pod mods, you can enjoy a wide range of flavours and nicotine strengths while reducing waste and environmental impact.

Box mods are excellent for those who prefer a more advanced vaping experience. Box mods offer a wide range of features and settings, allowing you to fine-tune your vaping experience to perfection. With their replaceable batteries and adjustable wattage, box mods provide longevity and versatility. They are an excellent option for vapers who want to take their vaping journey to the next level.

This kind of article often forgets that the most critical aspect of switching is not necessarily the device; the e-liquid and flavour are what you are looking for, and finding a suitable vape juice for you is arguably more important or at least just as important as finding the device.

E-liquid Types

Nic salts, freebase, and shortfills are all different types of e-liquids you can use with your chosen vape device. Understanding their differences can help you find the perfect vape juice that suits your preferences and needs.

Nicotine salts, also known as nic salts, have recently gained popularity. They are a form of nicotine extracted from tobacco leaves and combined with benzoic acid. Nic salts offer a smoother throat hit and faster nicotine absorption than traditional freebase nicotine. Many vapers appreciate nic salts for their ability to deliver a satisfying nicotine experience without the harshness commonly associated with higher nicotine concentrations. They are often found in higher strengths, making them ideal for those who crave a stronger nicotine hit. These, more often than not, are the types of E-liquids found in Disposable vapes - and are likely to be your first stopping point - in fact, many disposable vape manufacturers also make the very same liquid they use in their devices available for use in open vape systems such as pod mods etc.

On the other hand, freebase nicotine is the purest form of nicotine commonly used in e-liquids. It is known for its strong and intense throat hit, especially at higher nicotine concentrations. Freebase nicotine e-liquids are available in a broader range of flavours and nicotine strengths, catering to various vapers' preferences. They are a good option for vapers who enjoy a more pronounced nicotine sensation or who want to reduce their nicotine intake gradually. Freebase nicotine lends itself better to deeper, more layered flavourings and tobacco flavours.

Shortfills are nicotine-free e-liquids in larger bottles, usually with extra space to add nicotine shots or nic shots. These bottles are often filled to 80% capacity, allowing vapers to mix their desired nicotine strength. Shortfills offer flexibility and customisation, as you can choose the nicotine level that suits you best. They are popular among vapers who prefer to control their nicotine intake or enjoy experimenting with different flavours and nicotine strengths.

When selecting your vape juice, consider your nicotine tolerance, desired throat hit, and flavour preferences. Experimenting with different types of e-liquids can help you discover your perfect vaping experience. Always choose reputable brands and ensure your e-liquids are compatible with your selected device.
