Disposable VS Pod Vape: Recognize 8 Key Differences!

What Is Disposable Vape?

A disposable vape pen NZ is a vape device designed for single use that has been pre-filled with vape juices and does not require any maintenance.

Disposable vapes cannot refill the device and replace the vape pods NZ, and can simply be discarded when the e-liquid runs out or the battery runs out of power.

It is simple in construction and usually consists of three components: a vape atomizer, a battery, and e-liquid.

Pros:

➕ Portable

➕ Maintenance free

➕ Suction activation system

Cons:

➖ Not very cost-effective

What Is A Pod Vape?

A pod kit vape is a portable vape device, which usually consists of two main parts: a prefilled pod with vape juice or a refillable pod and a main body that contains a battery.

The pod vape supports replacing the pod with a new one to continue the vaping experience after the e-liquid is depleted, so we usually consider it a more cost-effective option.

Vape pod system is mainly categorized into two types: closed system and open system. The former are prefilled with e-liquid after it runs out and needs to be replaced with a new pod. The latter can be refilled with your favourite vape juice.

Pros:

➕ Great selection of flavours

➕ Long service life

➕ More customized functions

Disposable VS Pod Vape – Top 8 Comparisons

#1 Appearance

Disposable vapes are generally very small, lightweight and smooth to the touch.

They usually don’t have too many complex parts and have a clean, streamlined form, making them suitable for carrying around.

Currently, the most common shapes of disposable vapes are slim pen shapes and stick shapes, but styles can vary depending on the vape brand and series.

Compared to disposable vapes, pod vapes are relatively large in size, which has something to do with their larger internal e-liquid capacity and battery.

The common pod kit vape has an overall shape of a long strip or box with a replaceable pod that can be inserted at the top.

Meanwhile, since some pod kit vapes come with customized features such as power output, airflow, etc., modules such as buttons and smart screens may be present in the shape.

#2 Vapour Volume

The power of disposable vape NZ is usually fixed, and the vapour volume cannot be adjusted. Based on the fixed output power design, the vapour volume is usually small or medium.

In addition, because disposable vapes have a limited e-liquid capacity, the amount of vapour while vaping will decrease as the vape juice continues to dwindle.

Generally speaking, the higher the power, the more vapour volume a vape can produce.

And many pod vape devices have the function of adjusting the power output, vapers can crank up the power output of the pod vape to get more vapour volume.

Not only that, but a pod vape’s e-liquid capacity is usually larger than disposable vapes, and the pod can be changed or refilled with nicotine e-liquid at any time.

This means that it can maintain a huge volume of vapour all the time while vaping.

#3 Lifespan

Most disposable vapes have a fixed e-liquid capacity, do not have a rechargeable function, and have a shorter lifespan.

Depending on the brand and model of the vape, the number of puffs in disposable vapes is about 300 – 10000 puffs, which can be used for 1-20 days.

However, the exact usage time also depends on the individual’s vaping habits, such as vaping frequency and vaping depth.

Pod vapes tend to last longer than disposable vapes, as they can replace new pre-filled pods or be refilled with vape juice when the vape juice is depleted and can be recharged.

The device itself can last months or even years with proper maintenance.

However, the lifespan of a pod system vape also depends on the quality of the device and whether the user performs regular maintenance such as cleaning or replacing the atomizer.

#4 Flavour Consistency

Due to the limitations of the fixed e-liquid capacity in disposable vape, the disposable vape flavours may be affected by the reduced battery power and reduced amount of vape juice in the later stages of vaping.

Then it results in a slightly muted flavour in the later stages of vaping.

The pod vapes typically use replaceable pods and can be refilled with vape juice.

They are not subject to flavour fade due to decreasing e-liquid volume and have better flavour consistency than disposable vapes.

#5 Customization Functions

Most disposable vapes can be activated by inhaling and come with a fixed e-liquid capacity and number of puffs on their own.

They do not have customization features such as vaping style adjustment, vapour volume adjustment, airflow adjustment and power adjustment.

Disposable vapes only offer different pre-filled flavours to choose from, mainly including Menthol vape flavour, Watermelon vape flavour and other fruit flavours, with hundreds of flavours.

And that’s where its convenience comes in, with no complicated operation or maintenance required.

The pod vape system offers more customization features.

Vapers can adjust parameters such as vapour volume, airflow and power and refill different brands and types of e-liquids according to their personal preferences to create a personalized vaping experience.

#6 Health Aspects

A pod vape typically allows users to choose from a variety of nicotine concentrations and e-liquids with different compositions, which are theoretically relatively healthier than disposable vapes.

However, from a health perspective, neither disposable vapes nor pod vapes can be called completely free of health hazards.

If you never vape, the healthiest option is still to avoid vape products of any kind.

#7 Ease Of Using

Disposable vapes are equipped with an automatic vaping system that allows you to inhale and start vaping, and they require no or low maintenance and can be discarded directly after use.

The opening and customization features of a pod vape usually need to be achieved through specific vaping methods or operations such as buttons.

In addition, daily maintenance such as replacing pods, refilling vape juices, charging the device and regular cleaning are all very necessary.

In comparison, the pod vape is less convenient and easy to use than disposable vapes.

#8 Price Cost

Disposable vapes usually have the lowest initial cost, with a cheaper price range of roughly $7.98-$35, making them an attractive option.

However, disposable vapes need to be replaced with a brand new device once they run out, and frequent repurchases lead to higher spending costs for long-term vaping.

Pod vape has a higher initial purchase cost, with prices ranging from roughly $12.98-$114.98.

However, in the long run, it is more cost-effective because vapers only need to replace the pods or refill the vape when the vape juice runs out, no need to buy a new vape device.

And the pod vape usage time can be up to several months or even years. Compared to disposable vapes, the pod vape can save a lot of money in the long run.
