Should You Make The Switch From Disposables To Vape Kits?

A lot of people are looking into switching from disposable vapes to more versatile, long-lasting vape kits as part of their long-term journey to stop smoking for good.

Following the third reading of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, which has far-reaching implications for the sale, distribution and advertising of e-cigarettes, some people are looking for their next, more permanent vape.

There are a lot of options in this regard, from lightweight cigalikes with small refillable tanks to larger box mods and many different choices in between, but the easiest switch to make for a disposable vape user is to a pod mod.

Because they also use nicotine salts, they provide a similar kind of nicotine hit as a disposable vape whilst being smaller and requiring a smaller battery than a typical box mod.

In terms of a like-for-like swap, it is the easiest way to move away from disposable vapes, but what do you need to know before you do?

Pod Mods Are Cheaper In The Long Run

Whilst disposable vapes are very cheap to buy and are good value for someone who just wants to give vaping a try as an alternative to cigarettes before they fully commit, the more you vape, the less cheap they truly are.

A 10ml bottle of e-liquid or equivalent vape pod provides the same number of puffs as five disposable vapes, so it does not take long for a pod mod or box mod kit to pay for itself.

Pod Mods are available either as refillable pods, which can be used as long as the heating coil works, or as pre-filled mods where only the tiny pod tank at the top needs to be removed. In either case, it is far cheaper to buy a replacement pod than a replacement vape.

A Huge Variety Of Flavours Are Available

Because pod mods are more versatile than disposable vapes, it is easier to find vape flavours that suit every palate than with disposable vapes, which tend to stick to a central group of very popular flavours.

Pre-filled pods are available in a huge number of flavours of varying nicotine levels and concentrations, but refillable pods are also available for you to add any flavour of e-liquid you like.

This is also true of box mods, which come with refillable tanks and replaceable coils as standard, but pod mods make switching flavours as simple as unplugging one flavour pod and replacing it with another pre-filled one.

Longer Battery Life

Disposable vapes tend to be designed to only last as long as the amount of vape juice available within them, and once either the battery or the nicotine salts run out, the entire unit needs to be disposed of.

By contrast, a pod mod has a much longer battery life that can be monitored and recharged as easily as any other electronic device.

Whilst a pod mod will not have as big a battery life as a giant box mod, it is significantly longer than a disposable vape and will typically last long enough for you to get to a USB port to charge it.

Compact And Lightweight

There are a lot of options when it comes to vaping, and whilst there are some large, heavy-duty box mods available if you were formerly a heavy smoker and expect to vape a lot during the day, most modern vapes are just as compact and lightweight as their disposable brethren.

This is very important as the reason why e-cigarettes are such an effective way to stop smoking is that they are always available to provide the type of hit a cigarette can when alternatives such as patches and gum are not always guaranteed to be as effective.

Box mods are portable, but often require a bag or at least fairly substantial pockets, whilst a pod mod can slip into a shirt pocket with ease and can be reached for whenever you need that hit.

A Personalised, Better Experience

Disposable vapes are often the first experience people have of vaping, which is in some ways unfortunate as whilst it is effective for many people, it lacks the customisation that suits the needs and vaping styles of some ex-smokers.

Pod mods and especially box mods can be tweaked in terms of airflow, power delivery, resistance and different vaping styles such as the cigarette-like mouth-to-lung or the inhaler-like direct-to-lung approach.
