Disposable vapes vs Cigarettes
What are Disposable Vapes? And why do you want one?
Ever woke up the morning after a night out in Malta and your chest feels like it’s kicked you out too? There comes a point in every smoker’s life, probably more than once, where cigarettes disgust us. Whether it’s that extra cigarette that makes you feel a bit sick, or just stomaching a packet of cheap alternatives. Here’s why disposable vapes might be exactly what you’re looking for!
Disposable vapes in Malta?
Ok, let’s start at square one. You’ve seen people who seem to be sucking on a marker pen unleashing billowing smoke in the past. Gone, however, are the days of cheaply made faux cigarettes that taste like they look. 2022 in Malta is the era of disposable vapes. New, sleek, tasty, odourless and smokeless – this is the future of smoking.
I’m going to spare you all the details, although you can click here for our Beginners’ Guide to Vaping. Long story short, a disposable vape pen is exactly what it sounds like. If you’re not too into vaping overall, it might be hassle to buy and maintain a more advanced kit. Personally, I’m one of those people who gets confused with all the refills and procedures. That’s why disposable vapes are the way to go.
These cool little devices are pre-filled, pre-charged, and pre-tty awesome!
Ok, but how does disposable vape work?
A brief technical explanation would be that there is a battery powering a coil. This heat then vaporizes an e-liquid, creating vapour which may or may not contain nicotine. Once your e-liquid runs out, or your battery is depleted, then you simply throw it away.
It really is as simple as it sounds. There is no setup required, all you need to do is pick a flavour, take it out of the box, and puff. It might take a little time to find out how strong to inhale to hit that sweet spot. Once you do though, the flavour possibilities are endless.
The cheaper pens cost roughly as much as a packet of tobacco and offer up to around 500 puffs. However, if you’re willing to spend just a couple more euro, you could also get disposable vapes from your favourite head shop in Malta lasting 800 puffs.
Are disposable vapes better than cigarettes?
This is a hotly debated topic, and has been since the advent of vaping. If you’ve never smoked before, I think most smokers would agree the best thing is perhaps don’t. Nicotine is an addictive substance and willingly getting addicted to it is not ideal. This is why there are tobacco substitutes to pack joints with so non-smokers don’t have to get the nicotine kick as well.
That being said, if you smoke a pack or two a day and want to switch to a potentially less harmful alternative, then the general consensus is a good one. In terms of ingredients, a cigarette when burnt produces nicotine, tar and carbon dioxide. A disposable vape will include propylene glycerin, vegetable glycerin, flavourings, and up to 2% nicotine. Even without understand the chemical properties, I think I’d rather have vegetal extracts than tar in my lungs. But that’s just me.
Great, so where can I get disposable vapes?
Look no further than Rolling Buddy’s Vape Store for a great selection of Malta’s best disposable vapes. The two brands you’re going to want to check out here are French Puff and Frumist. The vapes all contain 20mg of nicotine strength in their e-liquid.
Frumist to me are like the more stylish, slightly more affordable younger cousin to French Puff. They are less flashy, but they last up to 500 puffs and come in all sorts of flavours and styles. Just to name a few, you can get that double kick with their Energy Drink, or perhaps go for classic Tobacco. Maybe if you’re feeling summery, you can also check out their Strawberry Ice Cream, or even their Blue Slush!
French Puff meanwhile, while still inexpensive, were made in a French lab to just push them over the edge into higher quality. With up to 800 puffs, these also come with removable cigarette filters for a more authentic feel. Apart from also offering the classic Blond Tobacco flavour, They also have some summery options. These include Tropical Punch and, for a more refreshing kick, check out their Lush Ice.
In the end, the only way to find out if disposable vapes can help you kick the cigarette habit is by trying it out. While a few years back the options in Malta were dismal, now we have a Vape Shop offering real quality here. With relatively inexpensive products and a tonne of flavours, there really is no excuse not to try.
