What is a disposable vape?
Disposables are non-refillable one-use vapes that are to be disposed of after use. They work immediately out of the box, and it is this simplicity and ease of use, that has made them the most popular form of vape today. That said, they nowadays come in a variety of shapes and sizes, often with features like charging ports and airflow adjustability.

The different types of disposable vape pens
Disposable vapes can be used for vaping different things. Nicotine, CBD, and Delta-8 are the most popular substances you can find disposable vapes for right now. It is essential to understand that despite the difference in what is being vaped, the underlying disposable battery and vape systems work almost exactly the same way.

Understanding how a disposable vape pen works
A disposable vape will most often be shaped like a small pen or USB-shaped device. However, devices are getting bigger by the day and can now resemble larger “box mod” style vapes with puff counts of over 10000. Despite their different shapes, sizes, and puff counts, disposables are made up of the same five key components:

Outer casing and mouthpiece
Coil/atomizer
Tank or cotton
Battery
Vape juice
*Charging port (on re-chargeable disposable vapes only)
The vape juice containing nicotine, CBD or delta-8, etc., is stored in a tank or within high-quality filament material, that is used to hold the e-liquid until the coil is heated thereby producing the vapor that is then inhaled through the mouthpiece. The majority of disposable vape pens cannot be re-charged and can only be vaped once; however, some larger disposables will now feature a charging port that can be used to re-charge the device once the battery has run out.
