Disposable vs Rechargeable Vapes
Whether you’re an experienced vaper or an adult cigarette consumer looking to switch to vaping, you’ll encounter disposable and rechargeable vapes when browsing new devices. But which is best? Only you can decide whether you’re better suited to a disposable or rechargeable vape; we’re here to help you decide. This guide explores the differences between disposable and rechargeable vapes so you can choose the best device for you.
Disposable Vapes
Disposable vapes are electronic vaping devices (or e-cigarettes) containing enough charge and e-liquid for a limited number of puffs. They’re available in various flavours to suit your taste. When your disposable vape runs out, dispose of it responsibly and grab a new one to continue vaping.
How do disposable vapes work?
Disposable vape devices contain a battery, heating element and a nicotine or nicotine free containing e-liquid. They’re usually puff-activated, which means activating them is as simple as unboxing and inhaling on the mouthpiece.
Why do people choose disposable vapes?
Many adult nicotine consumers choose disposable vapes over rechargeable devices. These closed-system devices are straightforward and often come in compact shapes and sizes, making them suited to vaping on the go. They’re also low-maintenance, with no changeable parts or charging accessories needed.
How long do disposable vapes last?
Disposable vapes are made to last a specified number of puffs. For example, a Vuse GO 5000 device lasts for 5000*, while our Vuse GO Reload 1000 Box lasts for up to 1000*. How many days 5000 puffs last depends on how often you activate your device.
Devices are built to last differently, so check first if you’re looking for a disposable vape with a longer or shorter lifespan. At Vuse, we have disposable vapes ranging from 1000 to 5000 puffs, which can last for a couple of days to a few weeks, depending on how regularly you activate them.

Disposable vape ban
The UK disposable vape ban will start on June 1st, 2025. Whereby it will be illegal for businesses to sell or supply single-use vapes.
Rechargeable Vapes
Rechargeable electronic cigarettes can be recharged and refilled when the e-liquid runs out. They can last much longer than disposable devices and are also customisable, with various e-liquid nicotine strengths and flavours available to be loaded into these devices, every Vuse Pods flavour pack (2 Pods) consists of up to 2000 puffs per pack. To add, with our Vuse GO Reload 1000 and PRO devices.
How do rechargeable vapes work?
Like disposable vapes, rechargeable devices contain a battery and heating element. Vuse devices use cartridges (Pods), which click in and out of our vapes in seconds. That means there’s no need to pour e-liquid from a small bottle, and you can switch strength and flavour whenever you fancy.
Why do people choose rechargeable vapes?
Many adult nicotine consumers choose rechargeable vape kits to avoid re-buying whenever the battery or e-liquid runs out. These devices can also offer more power (which means thicker vapour) and are customisable, with different e-liquid strengths and flavours available to be switched out on demand. Are you looking for a new rechargeable vape? Our Vuse GO Reload 1000 and Pro device features fast-charging technology and the option to vape while charging.
How long does a rechargeable vape last?
We can’t speak for all vapes, but our Vuse GO Reload 1000 and Pro devices are made to last for around 300 complete charge cycles before their efficiency lowers. Like all vape devices, ours contain lithium-ion batteries, which degrade due to chemical reactions that start with their first use. Taking good care of your device can help it last longer.
