Disposable vs rechargeable e-cigarettes |
Posted: July 24, 2014 |
As the popularity of e-cigarettes continuously grows, so does the variety available to those switching from regular cigarettes. With the rising amount of choice and options available to the electronic smoker, entering the world of e-cigs could be a little confusing. E-cigarettes are divided into 2 main categories: the rechargeable or disposable e-cigarette, which both hold their own pros and cons. Deciding between them mainly depends on a number of factors, like how many regular cigarettes you would normally smoke or whether you’re more focused on convenience or performance. Here’s some further information on both the disposable and rechargeable e-cig to give you a better idea of which one may be the right cigarette for you.
Disposable e-cigarettes: The disposable e-cigarette is an incredibly popular choice among those looking for an alternative to smoking, mainly because they look and feel just like a normal cigarette. This means they are ideal for those new to the world of electronic smoking as they offer a natural transition from cigarettes. Small and lightweight, they provide a quick nicotine fix comfortably and discreetly. They are specially designed to last for one full charge cycle, which will be the equivalent of 1-2 packs of cigarettes and are then thrown away once finished (meaning you don’t need to worry about running out of charge or needing a replacement cartridge). Simple and convenient, disposable cigarettes are an excellent choice if you’re trying electronic smoking for the first time as they allow you to adjust to the taste and feel without investing in an expensive rechargeable kit. Despite their small upfront cost, the disposable e-cigarette could become costly in the long-term, especially if you’re a particularly heavy smoker or are not planning on quitting altogether. They are mainly beneficial to those entering the world of electronic smoking before investing in a rechargeable alternative or for those who are gradually quitting.

Rechargeable e-cigarettes: The rechargeable e-cig is also a very popular electronic smoking choice, especially for those who feel they will take longer to quit or if they were a heavier smoker. It is even a great choice for those who are not intending to quit altogether, but simply want an alternative to regular smoking. Rechargeable e-cigarettes are mostly bought in a starter kit, where you’ll receive a couple of electronic cigarettes, a charger and some refills. The rechargeable e-cig contains a liquid-filled cartridge, which is where you’ll find the nicotine and flavour (if you choose it) and once this cartridge runs out, it is easily replaced with a new one. One full cycle of charge is equivalent to 20-40 cigarettes and once this runs out the e-cigarette is simply charged back up again. They are well-known for having a better battery life and general performance compared to a disposable e-cigarette and they provide a more eco-friendly option rather than throwing away an entire device every time. However, if you’re new to electronic smoking and you’re not quite ready to commit, then this choice could prove to be quite costly. If you think you want to try different brands or types of e-cigarette, then a rechargeable is definitely not for you - if you don’t like it then you’ve just wasted money and equipment. It may also take a little time to get used to remembering to charge it and replace cartridges, which could catch you out if it’s out of charge and out of nicotine.
