Approximately 13 tons of hazardous waste is generated every second. Increasing numbers of people are turning to sustainable alternatives as global warming and other environmental scares become more prominent. Small changes can make the world of difference. People are swapping to paper straws to reduce their plastic consumption, reusing shopping bags to prevent buying more, and even opting for reusable washable baby diapers! 

For the same reason, you might be nervous about ordering disposable vape kits - after all, if you are being environmentally conscious, the logical step is to buy refillable vapes instead. 

But disposable vaping is becoming a lot more environmentally friendly than it used to be - and by extension, more popular. And depending on how often you vape, disposables needn't be as hazardous for the environment as you may think. 

Why Are Disposables So Popular?

We are seeing a real shift in vaping habits, with more people preferring disposables to refillables. Here’s why:

1. They require no setup. Disposables can be taken out of the box and vaped with right away. Refillable vapes require an element of set up to get going. You need to add the e-liquid and make sure the vape is fully charged as a bare minimum. More advanced vape kits require even more setup than that including coil adjustment. Disposables on the other hand are completely hassle free and perfect for those who have no time or will to set up the vape device. 
2. There’s no burnt coil taste. Because disposables run out and are thrown away, there is no need to worry about the coil becoming burnt and requiring replacement. Burnt coils can create the most bitter taste, and really ruin an otherwise satisfactory vaping experience. Disposables don’t have this problem. 
3. There’s less upfront investment. A refillable vape tank kit can be expensive and you may need to buy additional parts. Disposables are generally much cheaper. 
4. You won’t run out of charge at a crucial moment. Refillable vape kits require charging. If you are out and about and your refillable vape runs out, you’ll need your charger and a power outlet or else you won’t be able to use it. 
5. They’re portable and small. Carrying a disposable vape pen is typically easier than carrying around a refillable tank. For example, the sleek and discreet Hey Lola Disposable Vape Device can be easily transported around in a lady’s purse without taking up much space.
6. There are now a huge range of disposable vape flavours, whereas in the past these were more limited than refillables that come with e-liquids. 
7. You experience a level of consistency with disposable vaping, whereas refillables can be more temperamental depending on their setup and their compatibility with certain e-juices.
8. They are becoming much more environmentally friendly thanks to some innovative brands, which we will explain more about now. 

Environmentally Conscious Disposables

Some disposable vaping brands are now taking steps to make vaping more environmentally sustainable. It is expected that more and more disposable vaping brands will follow suit, given the popularity of sustainable products and their positive impact. Here are some examples:

20mg VYKO (99% Plastic Free) Paper Bar Disposable Vape Device 800 Puffs: Designed to be both sustainable and simple to use, the VYKO Paper Bar Disposable Vape Device is made of paper and free of plastic! By using this vape pen you will automatically reduce your carbon footprint and negative impact on the world. It has a built in 450mAh battery with 20mg nicotine salts and a number of flavours, including watermelon strawberry, pink lemonade, mango ice and cream tobacco. You can experience up to 800 satisfying puffs which is great for all vapers. 

20mg Aquios Bar Water Based Disposable Vaping Device 600 Puffs: Aquios is the world's first water-based disposable vaping device. It uses Aquios' revolutionary globally patented technology to enable water based vaping. It has a 450mAh battery with 600 puffs, a lower vaping temperature as well and has reduced dehydration with it being 30% water.

Choose from a range of flavours including watermelon, sour apple and blueberry. This vape kit has 20mg nicotine salts. 

When Disposables Can Be Environmentally Harmful

If you vape a lot and find yourself throwing a disposable vape out every single day, then this is not very environmentally friendly especially if you are using a plastic device. There are four things you can do to combat this:

1. Swap to a vape with a higher puff count. At JM Wholesale we do have disposable vape kits with high puff counts including Chubbi Chodez By Drip Hacks Refillable Disposable Vape Device which offers 7000 puffs! Or, for those of you going nicotine free, the 0mg Ultimate Bar XL Disposable Vape Device 3500 Puffs
2. Swap to an environmentally friendly recyclable vape pen, as outlined above. More of these are expected to become available in the future. 
3. Swap to a refillable vape kit to reduce waste. You can find our full range of vape devices here. 
4. Reduce your puff intake so make your disposable vape last longer. This is good advice for people who ultimately want to use vaping to quit a nicotine habit. You can reduce the amount of nicotine you use in each disposable (for example, go from 20mg nicotine salts to 10mg and then to 5mg) and then quit disposables altogether.
