Frequently Asked Questions: Everything You Need to Know About Disposable Carts
As disposable vapes are becoming increasingly widespread, a few common questions have started to crop up —not just for new users who are looking to quit smoking, but also for prior vapers curious about how these devices stack up against standard vape kits.Luckily, most disposable vapes are pretty similar to each other from a technical perspective. So, chances are, whatever queries you have regarding your vape, they’ll be the same as most peoples’, and the solutions will hold true for most devices.
Disposable vapes, like other vape kits, are perfectly safe when used correctly. There’s even a case to me made that disposables are safer than other vapes; as they require no setup and are ready to use, there’s less margin for human error.
In addition, disposable vapes are draw-activated: this means that the battery only activates when you puff on the device, and automatically switches off when not in use. Thus, there’s no risk of the device accidentally switching on while stored or otherwise not in use.
These are the key points to note in regards to disposable vape safety:
●All products sold in the our store areapproved
●Draw-activated and use a button free design; prevent accidental power up
●Completely sealed device; cannot be disassembled, this prevents any leakage
●Closed pod system; non refillable tank. no risk of improperly filling or reinstalling
●Cannot be recharged and have no charging port; this negates the risk of overcharging or otherwise damaging the device’s battery Of course, safety is a relative term.

Disposable vapes are single-use electronic cigarettes that are designed to be thrown away after the e-liquid has been used up. They come pre-filled with e-liquid and don’t require any refilling or charging, making them a convenient option for those who want a hassle-free vaping experience.
The lifespan of a disposable vape depends on a number of factors, including how often you use it and how well you take care of it. On average, disposable vapes last for about 2 days or so, but this can vary. Some disposable vapes are designed to last longer than others, so it’s worth doing your research before making a purchase.
Disposable vapes are entirely legal in the US, UK market. There are some caveats, however. All vape kits sold in the UK and the EU —including disposables —fall under the jurisdiction of the Tobacco Products Directive(TPD).
What this means in direct terms is that vape kits in the UK follow strict regulations in regards to nicotine strength and e-liquid capacity. As such, all disposable vapes are allowed a maximum tank capacity of 2ml, and a maximum nicotine strength of 20mg/ml (2%). TPD rules also make it easier to spot potential fakes or dodgy devices.
If you come across a disposable vape with a tank capacity or nicotine strength higher than those allowed by TPD, at best it’s illegal on the UK market, and at worst counterfeit and potentially risky to use. Either way, such devices should be avoided at all costs. By shopping with reputable retailers, you can rest assured that you’re always getting products that are safe, reliable, and fully TPD-compliant.
Additionally, it should be noted that it is illegal for customers under 18 to purchase any vape products. All myCigara retail stores operate in accordance with the “Think 25” age policy, and our webstore requires proof of ID for all purchases.
Age verification exists to protect both customers and retailers; don’t buy your vapes at stores with no age verification procedures. For a more in-depth look at vaping and age restrictions, head over to our blog, ‘can I vape at 16?’
The lifespan of a disposable vape depends on the device’s e-liquid capacity and battery life. On average, a disposable vape lasts between 5000 to 20,000 puffs.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.

Disposable vapes come in a wide range of flavours, including fruit, menthol, and dessert options. Some brands even offer unique and exotic flavours like strawberry milk and blue raspberry. There’s sure to be a flavour that suits your taste buds, so don’t be afraid to try a few different options.
Disposable vapes are generally more affordable than other types of electronic cigarettes, especially when you consider the cost of buying separate e-liquid and refilling your vape. However, prices can vary depending on the brand and quality of the vape, so it’s worth shopping around to find the best deal.
As the name indicates, disposable vapes are disposable. So, while their ready-to-use design makes them more convenient than other vape kits —requiring no initial filling or charging —it also means they cannot be re-used.
The simple answer is: no, you cannot refill or recharge disposable vapes.
Disposable vapes are closed systems; the devices themselves are fully sealed, and cannot be taken apart.
You absolutely should not attempt to take apart your disposable vape in an attempt to refill it; it’s a pointless hassle, it won’t work, and will leave you with nothing but an extra mess to clean up.
Using a disposable vape during
pregnancy is not recommended due to the potential health risks
Most disposable vapes are not
waterproof. Exposure to water can damage the internal components and render the
device unusable.
You’ll notice a decline in vapor production and flavor. Some devices also have indicator lights that blink when the battery is low.
As mentioned, all disposable vape pens are draw-activated, meaning that they turn on when you puff on them.
If you draw on your vape and nothing seems to happen, it means the device has reached the end of it’s lifespan and needs to be disposed of (in a responsible and eco-conscious manner, of course).
While all disposable brands are different, there are some commonalities.As a general rule, disposable vapes feature some form of LED indication, with the LED typically found near the bottom of the device.
●Constant LED: the device is active
●Blinking LED: low battery
When you draw on a disposable, the device activates and the LED stays lit throughout the draw. If you pull on your device and the LED flashes, this signals a low battery.
Further indication of a low battery is that you will receive a weak hit from your device.
The lifespan of disposable vapes is typically measured as puff count. The number of puffs is determined by a vape’s tank and battery size. It’s worth highlighting that a puff count is an estimate, and will vary somewhat depending on an individual’s vaping style; i.e. taking longer, deeper drags will slightly reduce the puff count. For reference: 300 puffs is roughly equivalent to 20 cigarettes.
As we mentioned above, all disposable vapes sold in the UK are in compliance with TPD and thus all have the same maximum tank capacity of 2ml. (You can of course get devices with smaller tanks, but these understandably have a lower puff count.) In this case, the battery strength is the determining factor for puffs.
For comparison, these are some of the disposables we stock that have the highest puff counts:
If you’re still unsure about disposable vapes, it’s always a good idea to speak to a healthcare professional or do some further research. However, for many people, disposable vapes are a convenient and affordable option for enjoying the benefits of vaping without the hassle of refilling or charging. So why wait?

We’ve touched on this before, but it bears repeating; vaping is a tool for helping smokers quit smoking. Vape kits are not toys or otherwise “fun” or novelty items. Disposable vapes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive; as such, all vape kits are only to be used by adult smokers looking to quit smoking, and should not be used by non-smokers.
