How Long Do Disposable Vapes Last?

Let’s start with this question: what’s the first thing on your mind when shopping for disposable vapes? We will assume it is the puff count. Why not? It’s written in big, bold letters on the package. We’ll dive into it later. First, let’s talk about a disposable vape’s lifespan.

The Lifespan of a Disposable Vape

A disposable vape’s lifespan depends on various factors and varies from one device to another. These factors include the device type, component quality, usage frequency, and maintenance standards. At Nebula, all our units are crafted to last. We use the highest quality components to boost their lifespan, and they last as long as mentioned on the packaging.

Now, let’s look deeper into the details. Disposable vapes are for short-term use. Initially, they would offer 500-700 puffs, which equaled a packet of traditional nicotine-based cigarettes. The devices used average plastic and were prone to damage.

Today, there is a multitude of rechargeable disposable vapes, which are reusable and boast a significantly longer lifespan. Some products are made of durable materials like aluminum to handle rough use, but they also cost plenty.

The primary factor affecting a vape pen’s lifespan is its battery. Often, a relatively new vape with a dying battery will stop working before it is time. Apart from that, a disposable primarily lasts as long as its puff count. So –

What Does Puff Count Mean on a Disposable Vape?

If you are a first-timer or someone who previously used a 500-600 puff vape, it is normal for you to be surprised to hear that a small, compact device can offer thousands of puffs. But it is true! However, you may not get the accurate puff count (the number on the package) because of the above-mentioned factors.

For instance, our Nebula Atompshere Plus is a 5000 puff disposable vape that lasts about 2-3 weeks on a moderate vaping frequency. For some, it may last longer, while heavy users may deplete the e-liquid in less than two weeks. As we said, your usage pattern dictates how long a disposable vape lasts.

Is there a way to calculate the exact number of puffs? Sadly, no. You may estimate it based on the e-liquid content.

Tips to Make Disposable Vapes Last: Extending Usage

Have you been using disposable vapes for a while now, but they haven’t been standing up to your expectations of delivering the mentioned number of puffs? What’s the point of spending money on something that does not suffice? Maybe you just need to change a few things to make your disposables last longer. Here’s what you need to do.

• Take Shorter Puffs

Brands estimate the puff count of their devices based on a duration of one second. So, 5000 puffs equals 5000 seconds. If you take one puff for two seconds, 5000 puffs become 2500.

• Don’t Chain Vape

Vaping is not like lighting up a cigarette, which you must smoke before it burns out. Puffing continuously on your disposable will cause the atomizer coil and battery to become very warm, which is bad because these short-use batteries cannot bear excessive heat and drain quickly. Likewise, a hot atomizer coil will consume more e-liquid than it should.

• Don’t Dry the Wick

If you buy disposable vapes and notice the flavor faded too soon or the puff count didn’t even go half the number advertised, it may not be the device’s quality but a different problem. You may have dried out the wick part that touches the atomizer coil. Avoid taking puffs in quick succession because the wick needs time to equalize. The wick’s inner portion refreshes itself between puffs by drawing e-liquid from the outer portion. The flavor should return if you rest your device for a couple of minutes.

• Proper Care

Just because disposables are said to not require maintenance does not mean they do not need it. Maintaining your disposable means keeping it in a cool, dark, and dry place, charging the battery as required, and following the above steps. Even the most durable and expensive units require this.

The Future of Vaping Technology

What lies ahead in the future of vaping innovation? We can assume the industry’s future to be brilliant because we have come a long way in just a matter of years. Here’s a glimpse of what hi-tech technology we can expect from vapes in the coming years.

• Bluetooth that enables you to track your device via smartwatch or smartphone
• Battery and processor improvement for more power, reliability, and longevity
• More customization options and unique e-liquids with intense flavors
