Whether you’re looking to give up smoking completely or simply upgrade your kit, choosing between vape kits and disposable vapes can feel confusing. At Superior Vapour, it’s our job to make this choice easier for you. Be it convenience, long-term savings or a more sustainable option that you’re looking for, we’re here to help you find the right fit. Let’s explore both options and see what makes the most sense for you.
Convenience vs Control
For many, vaping starts with convenience. Maybe you’re switching from smoking and want something that mimics the simplicity of lighting up a cigarette. Disposables have been a go-to for this very reason — no setup, no maintenance, just a quick hassle-free puff.
But while disposables are simple, they lack control. They offer limited flavour choices, fixed nicotine strengths and once the battery or e-liquid runs out, that’s it — you’re left with no choice but to toss it into the bin.
On the other hand, reusable vape kits may seem like more effort, but they offer freedom. Freedom to choose your flavours, control your nicotine intake and fine-tune your experience. You can customise everything from vapour production to the tightness of the draw, making it feel just right for you. Once you’re familiar with your kit, it becomes just as effortless as using a disposable — and far more satisfying.
The Cost: Short-Term vs Long-Term
It’s easy to be drawn to disposables because they’re cheap upfront. Spending £5 or £6 on a single-use vape feels like a low-commitment way to explore vaping. But if you’re vaping regularly, the costs add up fast. A few disposables a week could see you spending £20 to £30 or more. Before long, that’s the cost of a full vape kit and weeks' worth of e-liquid.
Vape kits require a bigger initial spend, but that investment pays off quickly. After the kit itself, your ongoing costs are limited to e-liquids and occasional replacement coils or pods — much cheaper than continually buying disposables. If you’re serious about vaping, a kit can save you hundreds of pounds a year.
Environmental Impact
It’s no secret that disposables present a problem for the planet. With millions of them thrown away each week, they’re piling up in landfills and leaking harmful chemicals into the environment. Their lithium batteries, if not disposed of properly, are an environmental nightmare.
Among other reasons, this impact has led the UK government to ban disposable vapes later in the year. The aim is clear: reduce waste and protect the environment.
Performance
When it comes to delivering a truly satisfying vaping experience, a proper kit is hard to beat. They offer richer flavour, better vapour production, and the ability to adjust settings to match your preferences. Whether you want a strong, cigarette-like hit or a smooth, mellow draw, a vape kit can deliver.
Disposables, while convenient, tend to offer a one-size-fits-all experience. They’re fine for occasional use, but if you want consistency, reliability and a more personalised experience, a vape kit will serve you better.
Choosing What’s Right for You
If you’re new to vaping and want something straightforward but sustainable, a starter kit is a solid choice. These kits are designed to be simple, with easy-to-use components and minimal maintenance. You’ll get all the convenience of a disposable, without the constant waste or expense.
Alternatively, pod kits offer a brilliant middle ground. These sleek, compact devices use pre-filled or refillable pods, making them incredibly easy to use. They require less effort than traditional vape kits but still give you the flexibility to choose your own e-liquids and control your nicotine intake. Pod kits are perfect if you’re transitioning from disposables and want something familiar but future-proof.
If you’re looking for more control, performance, and customisation, an advanced vape kit is the way to go. Features like adjustable wattage, airflow control and a wide range of coil options let you tailor your experience precisely to your liking. From compact mods to powerful sub-ohm kits, there’s a device to match your needs and preferences.
