Best Disposable E-Cigs 2020
The RELX Nano is ultra lightweight but delivers a heavyweight punch. It comes in four flavors containing 1.5 mL of e-liquid and is available in 3% and 5% nic strengths.
Disposable e-cigs are the easiest way to begin vaping. After the federal ban on flavored vape pods happened, disposable vapes or disposable e-cigs became the next best option in 2020 for those after ultimate convenience. Disposable vapes are designed to be familiar to smokers, but without the tar, smoke, and ash that comes with smoking cigarettes. There are no replaceable parts, buttons, rechargeable batteries, or complicated menus to navigate. They’re all draw-activated, meaning you simply remove the device from the package and start puffing. And when the battery dies, simply toss them in the trash.
Our list for the best disposable e cig was made after testing and reviewing dozens and dozens of products (which happen continuously for future updates). Since many off-brand disposable vapes are sold in gas stations and C-stores, you can rest assured that these brands and devices are made from reputable companies with positive track records. Just choose the one that has the nicotine strength you’re looking for and the flavors you’re most interested in trying.
RELX Nano
The RELX Nano is a disposable pod vape with a robust hit and super simple user experience. The Nano comes in four flavors from tobaccos to drinks to fruits. The nicotine salt percentage is 3% or 5% and comes in 1.2 mL prefilled pods. The RELX Nano is ultralightweight with a heavyweight punch.
POSH Plus
The Posh Plus is the big brother to the Posh disposable that also appears on this list. The Plus version of the Posh has a greater battery capacity now with 450 mAh, and the 6% nic salt ejuice volume has increased to 2 mL which allows for more puffs. Additionally, the Posh Plus updated the mouthpiece for ergonomics.
Shade
The Shade is a disposable vape that looks more like a refillable pod vape. Unlike the stick designs that have twin-ends, the Shade has users in mind with a mouthpiece that also ensures you’ll never accidentally hit the wrong end. The Shade holds 1.7 mL of 5% nic salt and vapes well for a disposable.
POSH Disposable
The Posh by Fuma is like a disposable JUUL. It’s got a similar form factor except it has 60 mg nic salt, eight total flavors to choose from, and you never have to worry about charging. Once the battery dies, simply dispose of it. The Posh holds 1.5 mL and the flavors are some of the sweetest in this category of devices.
VGOD STIG
The VGOD Stig is one of the tiniest, most discreet disposables on this list. It’s shaped like a little flattened bullet and comes in 3-packs of five flavor options with 6% nicotine. The Stig holds only 1.2 mL of juice but the smaller size, the quality of its flavors, and its strong hit make it a great choice.
Pro tips for disposable vapes
Without a doubt, disposable vapes are the easiest vapes to begin vaping. There are no moving parts, and while you should never try to take one apart yourself, they just contain a battery and a juice reservoir. So what’s the need for pro tips? No matter how easy disposable vapes are to use, there are some things you should know that could be taken for granted.
- Don’t store them in extreme temperatures; remember, they have small lithium-ion batteries inside
- Don’t try and hack them for a refill; this could also cause an auto-fire and potentially break the device
- Dispose of them like other lithium-ion batteries, in a designated drop off for battery recycling
- Make sure you draw from the mouthpiece ONLY; drawing from the bottom of the device could cause the vape to auto fire. Since there are no buttons, there would be no way to turn it off besides slamming it down on concrete, which would break the device and result in further safety concerns
- Make sure to not cover the airflow holes while drawing on the vape (normally, the airflow holes are on the very bottom of the device); covering the airholes while drawing could cause an unfixable leak
- Dispose of after the flavor drops off, even if there is more battery life. If you push it, you might get a nasty dry or burnt hit
- Don’t worry about counting puffs! The puff estimation of these devices was made by automatic puff machines for very specific draw durations. In general, the puff numbers are accurate enough
Disposable vapes are very convenient! They’re super simple to use, they’re small and pocketable, and there’s no real learning curve. However, as with any kind of device that’s powered by a lithium-ion battery, caution and care should always be exercised.
