Upgrading from Disposables: How to Choose your First Vape Kit

Love disposables? So do we, but they have a few major downsides. For example, disposable vaping can be expensive, causes a lot of plastic waste, and there’s nothing worse than realizing your last disposable is dead and you're nowhere near a vape shop.

Moreover, disposable vapes cannot offer the advanced features, power, and customizability of reusable vape kits. If these challenges sound familiar, it might be time to upgrade from your Elf Bars or Geek Bars to a proper vape kit. In this guide, we’ll explore the best beginner-friendly vape kits and e-liquids to get you started.

Why Upgrade from Disposable Vapes?

Disposable vapes are convenient, but they come with limitations: short battery life, limited e-liquid capacity, and fixed nicotine strengths. Vape kits, on the other hand, are reusable, customizable, and deliver better flavor and vapor performance. Plus, they’re more eco-friendly and cost-effective over time.

Understanding Vape Kits

What Is a Vape Kit?

A vape kit consists of a battery, a pod or tank to hold the e-liquid, and a mouthpiece. Unlike disposables, vape kits allow you to refill e-liquid, recharge the battery, and replace the coil for long-term use.

Advantages of Vape Kits

  • Refillable pods or tanks
  • Rechargeable batteries for long-term savings
  • Customizable nicotine levels and e-liquid flavors
  • Support for both Mouth-To-Lung (MTL) and Direct-To-Lung (DTL) styles
  • Durable and environmentally friendly
