Disposable vapes continue to remain popular and it’s not hard to see why with their ease of use, convenience and low cost. And a popular notion that has risen from the influx of vapers thanks to disposables, is that they taste better than traditional vapes. With some choosing to predominantly vape disposables, do they taste better or is it something else that has vapers hooked to these single-use devices?
Visit What are Disposable Vapes? to get an idea of how disposable vapes are made and used.
How do Disposable Vapes Work?
- With everything in a portable device, disposables are simple to use. They consist of a battery, e-liquid tank, wick, and coil.
- The draw-activated system helps to activate the device with an inhale. When the device is activated, the battery power is turned on.
- This heats up the coil and evaporates the liquid on the wick. This generates the flavour and cloud vapour.
- As soon as the cloud forms, the wick instantly reabsorbs new vape juice.
- The cycle continues until the last drop of e-liquid is used up.
Factors Contributing to Better Taste in Disposable Vapes:
Now, let us look at the reasons why you get the best taste from disposables:
1. Wick soaked more:
In most disposable vapes, the wick is made of cotton. From manufacturing to the time it is in store, the wick gets ample time to soak to 100%. The moment you start using the disposable vape, you’ll get an intense hit of flavour from this pre-soaked cotton wick. As any vaper knows, a well-soaked wick is the best way to ensure a good quality flavour and vape
When it comes to refillable vapes, the wick may not get ample time to soak before using.
2. Standard making:
All disposables come with standard sizes, ingredients and specifications. This makes a streamlined process of making with very little difference between disposable performance. This standard process without any deviation makes disposable more reliable for vaping.
The refillable pods, after single use, do not have same wick. Also, other parts may not be defective but are worn out to some extent.
3. Vape juice making:
E-liquids contain sweeteners. Over time, these can stick to the coil in the vape’s atomiser, which will eventually affect the flavour. Because of this, e-liquids for refillable vapes generally contain low levels of sweetener. Those who make e-liquids for disposable vapes use higher levels of sweetener, which can, of course, improve the taste.
4. Nic salts:
Disposable vapes are also more likely to use nicotine salts in their e-liquids, which can result in stronger and smoother flavours. nic salt e-liquids use 3 to 4 times the amount of flavourings typically used in e-liquids that use freebase nicotine.
E-liquids that don’t contain nicotine salts may have a higher strength, but some find them to be overly harsh.
5. Singular vaping:
Diposables have a singular making from start to end. When it comes to vape kits, which are handled by the user, they may face some errors. Also, the kind of kit makes a difference.
6. Quality Matters:
Disposables typically use high-quality cotton for their wicks, which is vital because it directly affects how the e-liquid is absorbed and vaporised. High-quality cotton ensures efficient absorption and a smooth, clean vapour, enhancing the overall flavour and making each puff a delightful experience.
The e-liquids in disposable vapes often feature high-quality ingredients, including premium flavourings and base liquids (propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin). This commitment to quality also ensures a smoother and more enjoyable vaping experience.
7. Tailored e-liquids:
Due to extensive research, in disposables, the e-liquids are tailored as per the device. So, performance is up to the mark. However, when it comes to e-liquid, the device you choose decides the performance with a deviation.
8. The right settings and Persistent Performance:
Disposable comes with predefined settings for usage like wattage, coil resistance and airflow. However vape kits are more about experimenting and using. In more complex devices, you need more ideas to make adjustments and avoid overheating or inadequate airflow. Disposable vapes are designed with fixed settings, including pre-determined wattage, coil resistance, and airflow. This lack of variability means that each puff is consistent with the last, delivering a predictable and uniform flavour experience.
