About Disposable Vape Alternatives
We know how convenient disposable vapes can be, and having to make the switch by June 2025 might seem annoying at first. But in the long run, it’s better for everyone. Disposable vapes are flawed for the environment and your wallet. Furthermore, refillable and prefilled pod kits are just as convenient and offer the same, if not better, vaping experience.
What is the need for disposable vape alternatives?
Disposable vapes are super convenient and perfect for beginners - you just buy it, open it and vape it. However, they’re rarely recycled, which causes significant environmental problems. It’s not just the plastic, either. The batteries contain lithium, which is hard to produce and can cause fires if not disposed of properly.
What alternatives are there to disposable devices?
The best alternative to a disposable vape is a pod vape kit. They’re almost identical to your favourite disposables in terms of looks, flavours and experience. Instead of throwing the whole thing away, you keep the battery and just replace the pods that contain the coil and the vape juice.
Pod vape kits come in two types: prefilled and refillable. Prefilled kits are the simplest. You buy a new prefilled pod and click it in place, disposing of the empty one. Prefilled kits also come in various styles, with 2ml + 10ml designs or a 4-in-1 design.
Refillable vapes allow you to top up the tank with your favourite flavour and offer more options. This is the cheapest way to vape, as you can stock up on e-liquids with our multi-buy deals, and each refillable pod can last over a week.
What are the benefits of choosing a reusable vape?
Reusable devices come with a range of benefits compared to disposables, both for the environment and your wallet.
Reusable Vape Kits are More Environmentally Friendly
As we’ve mentioned, disposable vapes are rarely recycled, which means tons of plastic and valuable lithium go into landfills. With reusable kits, you're using much less plastic because you keep the battery and only dispose of the pods. If you choose a refillable pod kit, you’ll make even more of a difference because you also keep reusing the pod.
Reusable Kits are Better for Your Wallet
A single disposable vape might cost less than a pod vape kit, but reusable vapes quickly pay for themselves because you only have to restock the pods and liquids. What's more, if you make the most of our multi-buy deals, you can stock up on your favourite flavour and save even more.
*For reference, an average disposable vape user will have to replace their device every two days, which costs £60 a month for 15 single-use disposable kits, even with our multi-buy deal. With prefilled kits, the monthly costs can go down to £40 and to less than £20 with refillable kits after you have purchased a device.
For example, an Elf Bar 600 prefilled kit will cost you £5.99 initially, with a reusable device and a prefilled pod included in the box. After that, you will only have to replace the pods, at £5 for two pods, with our multi-buy deal, which equals £40 for 16 pods, delivering up to 9,600 puffs.
For a refillable device, you can opt for a cheaper kit like the Geekvape Sonder Q2, which costs £9.99 for a reusable device and one refillable pod. Then, all you have to worry about is replacing your pods and e-liquids. Monthly, you would get a pack of pods for £6.99 and match them with our Vape UK E-Liquids, which cost £10 for five bottles. This easily delivers up to 9,000 puffs when you use one bottle of e-liquid per pod.
Reusable Kits Give You More Control and Choice
A reusable vape kit also gives you way more control over your vaping experience. You can mix and match flavours to find the one you want and also choose from different nicotine strengths - especially useful if you want to taper down.
Also, more advanced pod vape kits allow you to adjust the wattage and power settings so you can fine-tune your vaping experience to suit your needs.
Disposable Vape Alternatives FAQs
What are the best disposable vape alternatives?
The most popular disposable vape alternatives at Vape UK are the Elf Bar 600 Prefilled Kit, the Lost Mary BM600 Prefilled Kit and the SKE Crystal 600 Pro Prefilled Kit. These kits are almost exactly the same as their disposable counterparts and offer the widest range of flavours.
How can I make my reusable vape taste like a disposable?
As long as you’re using a prefilled pod kit equivalent to the disposable vape you were using, it should taste the same. They come in the same flavours and nicotine strengths, with the same coils and tech, so nothing changes except that you can now reuse them.
For refillable pod kits, choose nicotine salts for your e-liquids, as they’re the same as those in your favourite disposable. For the pod itself, choose one with an integrated coil rated above 0.8Ω.
Can I get the same flavours and strengths in reusable vapes as my disposable ones?
Yes! All the big brands, such as Elf Bar, Lost Mary, SKE, and others, use exactly the same liquid, so there’s no difference in taste or strength.
What vape juice should I use in a refillable device?
Disposable vape juices should be used in a refillable device to replicate the disposable kit experience. We stock the most popular disposable vape e-liquid brands to help you find reliable, great-tasting vape juice.
Is a refillable or prefilled device better for me?
Both are great options, but prefilled kits are often the best for those moving on from disposables. They’re much better for the environment, are just as easy to use, and require less maintenance than refillable kits.
Refillable pod vape kits are slightly more expensive to begin with, and you also need to buy and refill the juice yourself. However, this allows you to experiment with multiple flavours and widen your vaping experience, plus it’s less expensive in the long run.
What replacements do I need with a reusable vape kit?
Once you’ve bought the device, you just need to buy the pods and the liquid.
If you choose a prefilled pod vape kit, it comes in one package. Any pod type is easy to use; you just need to remember to have fresh pods or liquid on hand in case you run out, and always remember to keep your device charged to avoid disappointment when out and about.
