WITH SO MANY DEVICES AND DISPOSABLES ON THE MARKET, IT’S EASY TO GET CONFUSED. FROM PENS TO MODS, PODS TO DISPOSABLES; THERE ARE LOTS OF OPTIONS OUT THERE! BUT WHAT’S THE BEST OPTION? THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS, THERE ISN’T A SIMPLE ANSWER!
Pod systems range in price, and the initial setup costs will always be more than an average disposable, but long term they work out much cheaper. Liquid refills go much further for much cheaper, as well as coming in a much larger range of flavours.Prefilled pods are another great option that works out much cheaper than typical disposables. You can get two prefilled 2ml pods for around £5.95, as opposed to the typical deal of 2 for £10 on disposable vapes.
Pod devices come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but generally speaking they are much smaller than mod devices and can even be as small as a disposable. This smaller size allows for easy storage and transport, whilst giving a discrete option for when you’re out and about.
If you’ve read the news recently, you’ll know there has been a lot of concern over the vaping industry and its ecological impact. The biggest concern regarding recycling vapes is the batteries, which contain lithium. The negatives of disposables include not easily being able to take the batteries out before recycling, as well as not being able to recharge them safely.Pod systems offer a perfect solution in that they can be recharged almost indefinitely. Although the pods are disposable, they are much easier to deal with at recycling centres and don’t contain any battery materials.
Without doubt, the rise in vaping has been due to the ease and affordability of disposable devices. Whilst larger refillable devices offer customisable options and long term are much more cost effective, many people are put off by the many features and things you have to learn.
The huge advantage of pod devices is they’re the perfect mix of features. Whilst some pods require a coil change, they normally just pop straight in with no mess and no fuss. A lot of more recent devices have completely disposable pod’s, meaning when the coil is burnt out, you simply replace the whole pod, including the mouthpiece. Some now even offer the option of prefilled pods!
