Recently bought a disposable vape? They are the most familiar type of vape kit because they have a wide range of tastes because of their draw-to-vape simplicity. They aid those looking to make the switch. It’s an optimised form of vaping that people love because it delivers a reliable nicotine shot and you don't have to carry around a spare 10ml bottle. After using them for a while, users will often transition to prefilled pod vape pens and starter pod devices.
Disposables are manufactured with an internal battery that will typically correlate to the amount of nicotine salt e-liquid that’s present in the device. In theory, this means that nothing is wasted and there’s never any charge left in the battery when the liquid is gone. That last thing you’d want to do is throw away you’re kit before you’ve gotten your money’s worth. So, let’s break down the ways you can tell if your disposable vape is finished…
Check the LED
Most disposable brands will have a LED light that will light up when you draw on the kit. If this does not happen, you’ve likely run out of vape liquid or battery life. If the LED flashes several times (no more than a dozen) while you’re vaping, the kit is telling you that it's exhausted. The bright colour of the LED and the number of times it flashes will differ depending on the device you’re using, but they all tell you the same thing – it’s finished and should be disposed of.
Bitter Taste / Dry Hit
A burnt hit on a disposable signifies that the liquid in the chamber has finished before the battery has run out. When there’s no vape juice left in the tank, you’ll likely get a nasty mouth-to-lung hit that’s caused by the inhalation of burnt-wicking material. You’ll almost definitely notice a burning smell that’s symptomatic of the same problem with your device.
Dulled flavour or Lack of Vapour
You might have noticed that the flavour has become dull or might not be as sharp as it was when you first got started vaping it. This is because less liquid is soaked through the wicking material so won’t be producing as rich an inhale as before. You may have a few more hits before your device dies at this point.
