Are disposable vapes worth it?
This really depends on your personal vaping habits – if you are a very light user, you might find you get considerable use out of a disposable, however many people who vape regularly have reported that the devices will typically only last a day or two.

Should I use a disposable vape, or a rechargeable one?

With concerns of whether disposable vapes are safe swirling, you might be wondering if it’s best to just steer clear of the fad and stick to a more traditional vaping device. Before you jump to any conclusions it’s best to get your head around the facts – we’ve already taken a deep-dive into disposables in our blog, Disposable Vapes – What You Need to Know.

Of course, the choice is yours, but to try and help you work out what’s best we’ll run through some of the ups and downs of disposables and how they compare to more traditional vaping fayre.

Disposable Vapes and the Environment

We’re passionate about the environment here at vapebull, it’s right there in our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy. That’s why we can’t ignore one of the biggest issues with disposable vapes – they are pretty terrible for the environment. You can find out more about this in detail in our blog above, but the short version is their entirely non-biodegradable or recyclable materials, coupled with the massive numbers they sell in, and their throwaway nature sets the stage for a potential environmental crisis.

Recycling and vaping has always shared a fractious relationship, and we ourselves at Vapebull have had many challenges in trying to overcome our own environmental issues to operate more greenly. 10ml, or indeed any vapebull bottle for example cannot be recycled at home despite what some might think – this is because the material has come into contact with nicotine. It is also illegal to wash out vapebull residue down your home sink and then recycle the bottles, so in terms of comparison, disposables and traditional vapes share some issues.

Where traditional vapes beat-out disposables in sustainability terms, is the fact that they are designed to be kept and used for far longer, with the exception of changing the odd coil. This means fewer are regularly purchased, so less are produced, and all the waste that goes along with those processes is greatly reduced in the long-term.

In some circumstances certain parts of traditional devices can be more easily recycled than disposables also; by being able to separate the battery and tank/pod sections for example - these can be more safely disposed of in ways that protect the environment, rather than it all being lumped in a landfill which is the fate of almost every disposable
