What Are Disposable Vape Bars?
Disposable vapes (sometimes known as puff bars) are vape devices that are designed to be disposed of once they’re finished - it does what it says on the tin!
They are an easy-to-use vape option that works right out of the packet. These devices come pre-charged and pre-filled with a range of flavours of e-liquid, so you don’t have to worry about changing coils, recharging batteries or filling the device with e-liquid. All you need to do is puff and go, and then when you’re done, simply safely dispose of the device and open up the next one.
Disposable vapes are small and compact single-use inhale activated devices that are pre-filled with nicotine salt vape juice and are pre-charged ready to vape out of the packaging. Disposable vapes in the UK will provide up to 600 puffs, when the device stops producing vapour, dispose of it and start a fresh one.
Disposable vapes require no previous experience and are an ideal choice for first-time vapers and anyone new to vaping. They are also an ideal vape kit for nights out, holidays and music festivals, or when your main vape is being charged. Disposable vapes are also appealing to experienced vapers looking for convenient vaping in a compact and lightweight device during times when taking a larger vape kit isn’t practical.
The low initial cost and ease of use makes disposable vape bars so appealing, with so many different devices to choose from we have made a list of our best-selling disposables to help choosing the right vape an easier task.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF DISPOSABLE VAPES
There are so many different options available in the world of vaping today that it can seem impossible to make the right choice and get the best disposable vape for you. Particularly if you’re new to vaping, there is a lot of jargon and information out there that can be really confusing. Fortunately, at Blackstone Labs we’re here to help! There are lots of advantages to disposable vapes, but there are also a few reasons they might not be right for you too.
Pros of Disposable Vapes
A disposable vape is a great way to transition from smoking cigarettes, as they are easy to use and have very inexpensive upfront costs. This means you can experiment with different flavours before finding your favourite!
Disposables also have a smoother and more effective delivery of nicotine compared to other types of starter kits because they use Nicotine Salts e-liquid rather than standard (freebase) nicotine. This means that if you are struggling with nicotine cravings, disposable vapes are really effective at satisfying those cravings.
Disposables are small and compact, so you can carry them wherever you go, and they fit neatly into a bag or a pocket. As they are built with the e-liquid pre-filled, disposable vapes are also far less likely to leak than other kinds of vapes.
Cons of Disposable Vapes
Disposable vapes are a great option when you want to save money in the short term, but they don't last very long. You may consider buying a refillable vape instead as this will save you money in the long run. Pod vapes or pre-filled cartridge vapes are a good middle ground if you’re looking for convenience, but also to save a little money.
Disposable vapes are worse than normal vapes from a sustainability perspective, as they are single-use. These vapes are made almost entirely of plastic and metal, and their components are fully integrated. This makes it very difficult to recycle disposable vapes, so they almost always end up in landfill. The battery components of disposable vapes should be recycled in battery recycling, but uptake on this kind of recycling isn’t always high, and some local authorities don’t even offer it as a local government service.
Disposable vapes are also much less powerful than more advanced vapes. If you’re interested in upgrading your vaping experience, you’ll likely need to switch to a pod vape, sub-ohm vape or other kinds of cartridge vape. Upgrading will allow you to experiment with different styles of vaping and different types of e-liquid, which isn’t possible with a disposable vape.
The vape industry is constantly evolving and new flavours are emerging all the time. This article is constantly being updated so check back soon to hear of the latest and best disposable vape releases
5 Major Benefits:
Let’s get into the five major benefits of using a disposable vaping device:
1. Saves Money
2. No Maintainance
3. Variety of Flavours
4. No Need to Charge the Battery
5. No Need to Prime the Coil
1. Save Money
They are a cheaper alternative to normal cigarettes. Disposable vapes usually come with around 500-600 puffs, which tends to last a normal vaper up to two days. This costs between £10-£15 a week, as opposed to spending between £10-£15 a day on a packet of 20 cigarettes. They can also be cheaper than using a normal e-cigarette, depending on how much you vape. This is due to not having to buy a tank, replaceable coils, e-liquids and chargers, as well as all the other bits and pieces you need.
When you make the switch to a disposable vape, you’re committing to your health and your wallet. Disposables are the most cost-effective way to vape, and they last up to two times longer than traditional coils. That means you’ll save money in the long run and won’t have to worry about constantly replacing your coils or priming them.
2. No Maintenance or Upkeep Required
Once you have your disposable vape, you don’t have to worry about maintaining it or keeping it clean. There’s no need to change the battery, prime the coil, or clean it out. You no longer want to replace juice as it has built-in capacity. You just use it and then toss it when you’re finished. This saves you time and hassle and makes it a really low-maintenance option.
3. Variety of Flavors
Most disposable bars come in a wide range of flavours which taste absolutely delicious. They tend to be mouth-watering fruity flavours, and some even come with an icy kick for all you menthol lovers.
What’s more, you can choose your nic salt strength too. This is great if you’re looking to reduce your nicotine intake gradually. Or, if you’ve already quit smoking, you can choose a higher nicotine strength so you still get that satisfying hit.
4. Don’t Need to Worry About Battery Changes
Another great thing about disposable vapes is that you don’t need to worry about battery changes. With a traditional vape, you have to make sure that the battery is always charged and ready to go. But with a disposable vape, the battery is built in and lasts as long as the vape itself. So you can just pick it up and start vaping without having to worry about whether or not the battery is charged.
5. No Priming
You won’t be requiring any coil priming with the disposable ones. You have more freedom to just purchase, open the packaging, put on the mouthpiece and start to experience vaping on the go. The disposables are to be used by opening the packaging without a need to fix the atomizer as it is ready to be used.
How much nicotine do they contain and what strength is it? Most manufactures put either 1.3ml or 2.0ml of e-liquids in each device, and they typically come in nicotine strengths of 20mg. However, some manufacturers sell them in 12mg or 18mg. This will be shown as two percent nicotine.

FAQs
Are disposable vapes legal?
Most disposables are legal in the UK. This does however depend on the liquid capacity of the device and the strength of the nicotine. The Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR) are a set of UK laws that regulate the sale of traditional tobacco products such as cigarettes and cigars, but also the production and Labs of vaping products, including disposable vapes.
Disposable kits in the EU are regulated by the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) rules. There were no significant changes to vaping regulations as a result of Brexit, and the laws originally implemented by the TPD remain in place in the UK today. That means that if you see references to TPD rules, they’ll be largely the same as TRPR rules.
Some of the key rules surrounding vapes in the UK include:
(a) E-cigarette tanks, including disposable vapes, are limited to a capacity of no more than 2ml
(b) While not important for disposable vapes, TRPR rules restrict the maximum volume of e-liquid refill bottles to 10ml.
(c) E-liquids are restricted to a maximum nicotine strength of 20mg/ml
(d) All nicotine-containing products and their packaging are required by law to be child-resistant and tamper evident.
(e) E-liquids sold in the UK are not allowed to contain certain ingredients including colourings, caffeine and taurine.
(f) Vapes and e-liquids have a range of stringent labelling and warning requirements and their packaging.
(g) All e-cigarettes and e-liquids in the UK need to be registered with the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) before being sold to consumers.
Beyond Bars and other similar disposables are perfectly legal to purchase in the UK providing you’re 18 or older and the product is within the specifications set by TRPR/TPD. This means that they need to contain no more than 2ml of e-liquid and can be no stronger than 20mg (2%) of nicotine.
An increasing number of vapes are being seized by trading standards, which allows users to feel more confident in their purchases and put a stop to illegal and dangerous counterfeit vapes being sold on the UK market. It is recommended you only purchase vape products from a well-established vape store like Blackstone labs for your own safety.
Are disposable vapes safe?
Yes, disposable vapes are safe to use, as long as you are buying from a reputable supplier. The e-liquid used in disposable vapes has been tested and submitted under the TRPR here in the UK.
All the ingredients and components of the device are the same as those you would find in other vaping products available from reputable vape stores.
So long as you are buying a genuine product you are buying a safe product. Avoid purchasing from non-vape stores as they will have limited product knowledge and be unable to ensure their products are safe or offer advice before you buy.
Remember, as with all electronic cigarette vape products, disposables are only ever intended for adult users who are trying to quit or continue to quit smoking.
Are disposables bad for you?
Like all vapes, disposable electronic cigarettes are generally considered to be far less dangerous than regular cigarettes.
There are no chemicals like tar or carbon monoxide produced when vaping, and there is no combustion (burning) either. When you inhale from your vape, you are primarily inhaling vapour, which is mostly water. There are also flavourings, nicotine, PG, and VG in vapour, but there are no other compounds. This means that you get the same amount of nicotine as if you were smoking, but without all the other nasty stuff.
So, if you're looking for an alternative to smoking, then a disposable vape might just be what you need.
Who can use disposable vapes?
Disposable vapes are designed for existing smokers and vapers over the age of 18. They are perfect for anyone new to vaping due to their ease of use and convenience.
They are also great for existing vapers to have as a backup to a traditional vape device in those situations when you run out of liquid, run out of battery, crack a glass tank or when you simply don’t want to take an expensive vape device with you, such as on a night out.
Can you take disposable vapes on an aeroplane?
It is always best to check with your airline as to their rules on vape products being taken on the plane. All airlines have now banned vaping on flights, however, some may have different rules when it comes to travelling with e-cigs and vape products.
Batteries should not be stored in luggage that is going to be carried in the hold as this can pose a fire risk. Instead, batteries should be placed safely in your hand luggage and declared when you go through security. Spare juice can go into hold luggage.
It is worth noting that juice bottles and e-cig tanks tend to leak at altitude due to differences in air pressure. It may be worth keeping your vape inside a plastic bag to save your clothes and luggage from e-liquid leaks
How long does a disposable vape last?
The 2 factors that will determine how long a disposable vape will last are e-liquid quantity and battery capacity.
Most disposables contain between 1ml and 2ml of e-liquid with the majority being closer to the 2ml mark. Under TPD regulations, disposables cannot hold more than 2ml of e-liquid. However, most disposable e-cigs are advertised with a puff quantity to show how long they will last. This can be somewhere between 300 and 600 puffs.
The battery capacity of most disposable vapes is low - around 300mAh to 500 mAh. However, this should last long enough to get you through all of the e-liquid within the device.
How much liquid do disposable vapes hold?
The legal limit on the amount of liquid a device can hold is 2ml, and all the popular vapes from companies such as The Juiceman Bar, Zombie Bar, Solo Bar, Cali Island Bar.
Can you recharge a disposable vape?
No, disposable vapes do not have rechargeable batteries. Disposables are missing the circuitry required to recharge their batteries, and attempting to do so would be dangerous, pose a fire risk and could cause injuries to the person doing so.
Can you refill disposable vapes?
No disposable vapes aren't made to be refilled. They are sealed units and are only meant to last a finite amount of time with most units lasting around 500-600 puffs.
The e-liquid-containing capsule is not designed to be opened and sealed multiple times like a vape tank.
If you’re looking for something more permanent, we carry a wide range of vape kits in loads of different styles, most of which are refillable and rechargeable.
How do you dispose of disposable vapes?
Due to the battery that is held inside disposable vapes, they cannot be disposed of with your normal household waste, as this could pose a fire risk.
Batteries must be taken to a battery recycling point which can be found in supermarkets, recycling centres, and of courseYour Blackstone Distribution
Do disposable vapes contain nicotine?
Most but not all disposables contain nicotine. The most popular strengths are 10mg (1%) and 20mg (2%).
Do disposable vapes have a best before date?
Yes. The best before dates on disposable vapes are similar to those found on e-liquids. These are typically between 2 and 4 years from the time of manufacture and will be displayed clearly on the packaging.
Are 3500 puff disposable vapes legal in the UK?
No, 3500-puff disposables are illegal in the UK. These larger-capacity devices are illegal in the UK as they do not conform to the rules and regulations set out by the TPRP.
