How to choose a disposable vape: puffs, nicotine strength and flavor

Walk into any smoke shop and the vape wall can feel like a lot. Here’s what the numbers on the box mean, so you can pick the right one in under a minute.

Puff count

Puff count is an estimate of how many draws a device lasts. A 30,000-puff device like the Foger Switch Pro lasts most people weeks; smaller devices are lighter to carry and cheaper up front. Rechargeable kits with replaceable pods cost less over time.

Nicotine strength

Most disposables are 5% (50 mg/ml). If you’re used to lighter products, ask our staff for 2% or 3% options. Zero-nicotine versions exist for some flavors.

Flavor families

Flavors fall into four families: fruit, ice (fruit with menthol), dessert, and tobacco. If you’re not sure, fruit-ice is an easy place to start.
