So, I’ve been messing around with those disposable vapes lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey. I got curious about these “non-rechargeable” ones and wanted to see what the fuss was all about.
First off, I grabbed a couple of different brands from the local shop. They were all sealed up and ready to go, straight out of the box. No charging needed, which was kind of nice for a change. I just ripped open the package and started puffing away. Pretty convenient, I gotta say.
I used them for a few days, just casually throughout the day, you know? One thing I noticed was that they didn’t last as long as I thought they would. Maybe it’s just me, but I felt like I was going through them pretty quickly. But I enjoy the feeling so I kept buying them for several weeks.
After a while, I started thinking about the cost. These things aren’t exactly cheap, and buying new ones every few days was adding up. Plus, I felt kind of bad about throwing them away all the time. It just seemed wasteful, you know?
Switching to rechargeable
That’s when I decided to try a rechargeable one. I did a little digging online and found a decent starter kit. It came with a battery, a charger, and a couple of refillable pods. It was a bit of an upfront investment, but I figured it would save me money in the long run.
Setting it up was a little tricky at first. I had to figure out how to fill the pods with e-liquid and all that. But once I got the hang of it, it wasn’t too bad. And the best part? I could choose my own flavors! That was a game-changer for me. I spent two weeks trying out different e-liquid flavors, and finally found my favorite ones.
The rechargeable one definitely lasts longer than the disposables. I can usually get a full day of use out of a single charge, sometimes even more. And when the battery starts getting low, I just plug it in for a bit and it’s good to go again. It is way more convenient and cost less.
My takeaways
So, after trying both, here’s my take:
- Disposable vapes are super convenient, especially if you’re just starting out or don’t want to mess with refilling and charging.
- But they can get expensive and create a lot of waste over time.
- Rechargeable vapes are a bit more work upfront, but they’re more cost-effective and customizable in the long run.
- Plus, you’re not constantly throwing away batteries and plastic.
Honestly, I’m glad I made the switch. It just feels like a smarter choice for me, both financially and environmentally. But hey, to each their own, right? It’s all about finding what works best for you.
