Kiwis sure love disposable vapes. They’re convenient, practical, affordable, and reliable. What more do you need in vape products? But not all disposable vapes are made equally, and it can be much more challenging than you might think to find one that ticks all the right boxes for your needs.
If you’re on the hunt for the best disposable vapes in NZ, here are some features to look for to ensure you’re completely satisfied with what you buy.
The Brand
Sometimes, you can tell that a disposable vape is going to suit your needs even before you explore the features because you trust the brand. While there are many reputable disposable vape manufacturers and brands, some stand out more than others.
For example, Freeton is a highly regarded global company with an expansive range of disposable vapes and starter kits, while Vorteke stands out for its funky range of disposable vapes in unique flavours like banana, melon, grape, and mango. You might even see the value in Higo disposable vape products, which are favoured for their compact size and vibrant colours.
Once you find a brand you trust, you might have no qualms about choosing them repeatedly for future vape purchases.
Size and Shape
The disposable vape market is evolving all the time, and we’re spoilt for choice. Initially, you might have been able to choose one shape and size, but now you have plenty of options. You might opt for a pen-shaped vape, such as those on offer at Vapourium by Vorteke, or you might opt for a short and stout disposable vape that’s advertised as being more compact and discreet, such as the Higo range. Some disposable vape pens are also thin and lightweight for extra portability and ease of storage.
Battery Size
You might not think the battery size of a disposable vape matters, as long as you can find a vape flavour you like, but it can matter a lot. Failure to consider battery size might mean your vape goes flat long before you thought it would.
Fortunately, battery information is typically listed with each vape product for sale online, so you can find these details before you make your purchase. Small-capacity disposable vapes tend to have 500mAh batteries, which can provide a satisfying vaping experience for at least a few hundred puffs or more. However, you can also purchase large-capacity vapes with 1,200mAh batteries. These can ensure you get at least 4,000 puffs from a single battery.
It’s also important to look out for information relating to the type of battery within your disposable vape. Most are designed to be single-use, which means you can’t recharge them safely once they have gone flat. However, some manufacturers are now producing disposable vapes with rechargeable batteries to ensure you can use up all the vape juice before taking your vape to your local recycling facility.
E-Liquid Capacity
The larger the e-liquid capacity in your single-use vape, the longer it can generally last. Some of the most affordable disposable vape products on the market come with small and convenient 3.2mL e-liquid capacities, which is more than enough for up to approximately 800 puffs.
However, if you were to purchase a vape product with a 10mL tank, you might enjoy anywhere from 3,000 to 4,000 puffs.
Flavours
Sometimes, one of the easiest ways to narrow down your options is by thinking about the flavours you like. Some people prefer the sweetness of fruits and desserts, while others like the complexity of tobacco and menthol. You might even be a vaper who loves weird and wonderful flavours you don’t see in everyday foods and beverages.
Once you’ve determined your preferences, you might find it much easier to find a winning disposable vape that you purchase time and time again.
Recycling Options
Recycling can be hard work. While many councils offer kerbside pick-up of cardboard, soft plastics, and glass, not all do. There can be even fewer options for products like makeup, coffee pods, and vape products and accessories.
Fewer doesn’t mean none. Some of the best vape product stockists in NZ provide return postal bags with their disposable vapes. When customers are finished with their device, they can send it back for recycling. Some companies also offer vape recycling programmes around New Zealand so that we can mail in or drop off e-cigarettes, disposable vapes, empty pods, and empty e-liquid bottles for recycling.
The batteries within disposable vapes make them unsuitable for our landfill facilities. Be a tidy Kiwi and purchase a disposable vape from a supplier who cares about the environment and makes it easy to recycle.
