WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF VAPES?

May 27, 2024 • 2 min read

The growth of vaping in recent years has resulted in a wide range of vaping devices becoming available. These devices are tailored to different preferences and experience levels, from devices that are designed to be simple and easy-to-use, to others with a raft of customization options that are geared towards more advanced and experienced adult vapers.

 

Vapes come in many different shapes and sizes, but there are two main types of vape devices: disposable devices and pod vapes (also referred to as closed-system vape devices). If you're new to vaping, it can be overwhelming and difficult to know where to begin. Here, we take a look at each type of vape in more detail.

Disposable Vapes

Let’s start with disposable vapes like the Vuse GO. Disposables are specifically designed to provide a convenient vaping experience, eliminating the need for maintenance or refilling. They’re suitable for adult consumers who are new to vaping, travellers, or casual adult vapers who want to avoid committing to a more permanent device.

What are disposable vapes?

Disposable vapes can be rechargeable or non-rechargeable, and come pre-charged and already filled with e-liquid out of the box. The difference between a disposable vape and a rechargeable mod is that there’s no need to buy and replace your coils. Rechargeable vape devices also give you the option to swap your flavoured pods whenever you like.

How to use a disposable vape pen?

Using a disposable vape is an easy and affordable way to enter the world of vaping, and many adult vapers like it because it’s quick and convenient. It comes out of the box already pre-charged and pre-filled, so you just consume and once you have no e-liquid or charge left, you dispose of it in a responsible way.

Do disposable vapes expire?

Yes, disposable vapes can expire. The e-liquid inside disposable vapes typically has a shelf life of 1 to 2 years, depending on the ingredients. The battery in a disposable vape can also lose its charge over time, especially if the device has been stored for a long period. Most disposable vapes are designed to last until the e-liquid is depleted.

 

Properly storing your disposable devices can help maintain their quality and longevity. Keep your devices in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to help preserve the e-liquid and battery life.

How to dispose of disposable vapes?

Disposable devices contain a battery and the whole device needs to be disposed of after use. The Vuse Take Back program is a great way to responsibly dispose of your used vape devices.

Disposable vapes:

  • Small and portable
  • Come ready to use with pre-filled, flavoured cartridges
  • Convenient and easy to use
  • Best suited to new adult vapers

Pod Vapes

Pod vapes like the Vuse PRO Smart (aka pod devices or pod mods) are small, simple to use devices where the e-liquid is contained in a pod. They feature a battery and either refillable or pre-filled pods.

So, what’s a vape pod?

A vape pod is a component of a vape device that contains the e-liquid and the heating element (coil). The small, replaceable container typically contains a built-in coil and wick. When the device is activated, the coil heats up, vaporizing the e-liquid so it can be consumed.

How do I use a pod vape?

Start by either inserting the pod into the device, or filling the pod if it's refillable. Some pods come pre-filled, but refillable pods need to be filled with e-liquid. Open the pod, fill it with your preferred e-liquid, and close it securely. To activate the device, you might need to press a button or simply inhale to activate the heating element. Then, you're ready to vape.

Do vape pods expire?

Yes, vape pods can expire. The e-liquid inside the pod has a shelf life, usually between 1 to 2 years depending on the ingredients. Over time, the e-liquid can degrade, losing flavour and potency. It is also possible for the nicotine to break down, reducing its effectiveness.

How long does a vape pod last?

The lifespan of a vape pod depends on the frequency of use, the type of e-liquid, and the power settings of the device. Generally, a vape pod can last anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. Regular adult vapers who use their device frequently might need to replace the pod every few days, while more occasional users might find their pod lasts a week or more.

How to dispose of vape pods?

Leverage the Vuse Take Back program to responsibly dispose of both your vape pods and pod vape devices.

Vape pods:

  • More control over flavours
  • Re-usable and rechargeable
  • Best suited to more experienced adult vapers
