Disposable vape alternatives

Disposable vapes have proven to be a popular alternative to smoking and are currently by far the most in-demand vaping option, with brands such as Elf Bar taking the world by storm. However, they are designed for temporary use and are not exactly budget-friendly if used long-term. More people are making the jump from disposable vapes to more environmentally-friendly vaping options, such as rechargeable and refillable vape kits. There are excellent disposable vape alternatives on the market, that give the same feeling as a disposable while being better for the planet and your wallet.

In this guide, we will outline why you should stop smoking disposables and explore the best alternative to disposable vapes. Continue reading to find out more about the environmentally conscious and affordable options we have at Tablites.

Why you should stop smoking disposable vapes

There are a number of reasons why you should stop using disposable vapes and seek vape alternatives. These include:

Unaffordable

One of the most apparent reasons to ditch the disposable vape is that it is not an affordable solution in the long term. They can cost anywhere from £3 to £6, and if you are an avid vaper, you could end up spending around £30 to £70 a week on vapes. The best alternative to disposable vape pricing are refillable pod kits, as although they might initially cost more, they will last you a lot longer and cost you a lot less in the long run.

Not environmentally friendly

Disposable vapes generate a lot of waste and are not good for the environment. The vapes are designed to be thrown away after they run out of vape juice and are rarely recycled. Research by Material Focus found that the number of disposable vapes that are thrown away annually has quadrupled in a year to five million per week. This equates to eight per second. To add to this, only 17% of vapers say that they recycle disposable vapes in a shop or local recycling centre.

Short-lived

The appeal of disposable vapes is that they are ready to go straight from the box and require no maintenance. However, considering that they don’t typically last very long, users often find themselves purchasing a new product multiple times a week. The 600-puff disposable vapes are the most popular, with many longer-lasting disposables banned in the UK. This means those with a considerable habit have no choice but to purchase multiple disposables, unless they choose a refillable kit instead.
