As vape is getting attention from all walks of life, there are a number of questions and debates about the good and evil of vape keeping emerging. Well, disposable vapes as the storm that is approaching to the vape market, a frequently asked question keeps under debating: Are Disposable Vapes Safe? Here I would like to give a brief answer: compared to cigarettes, yes, qualified disposable vapes are much safer. “Qualified” here means the disposable vape has been registered, for example, on local health authorization and allowed to sell by MHRA in the UK. However, we do not encourage and recommend who does not smoke to try vaping, especially for those under legal ages.
What is a disposable vape?
A disposable vape can be a great choice for a novice vaper to enter the world of vaping without much of a monetary commitment. A disposable vape is a single-use e-cigarette that needs no set up or maintenance. The structure of a disposable vape is rather simple, it is mainly composed of an integrated atomizer(it includes mouthpiece, cartridge, vape juice, and coil), battery and an LED light indicator. There are pen style, balm shape, crayon like, and even beer bottle style Elf Bar disposable e-cigarettes, and they are pre-filled with e-liquid and come with a full-charged battery. Thus disposable vapes cannot be refilled nor recharged. Just simply remove it from the box and put your lips on the mouthpiece then inhale to vape, until the e-liquid runs out or the battery is depleted or it has stopped working, you can properly dispose it and get a new one. Disposable vapes are often pre-filled with 50/50 vape juice to create a balanced MTL vaping experience. With relatively lower power (7W-11W or so), disposable vapes not only produce large amount of vapour but also bring discreet flavor. It is worth mentioning that according to TPD Compliance, the parameters of disposable vapes in the UK should meet the following regulations:
A maximum 2ml e-liquid capacity
A maximum of 20mg nicotine
A nicotine warning label
What is E-liquid?
liquid to vape device is as cigarette to a lighter, you cannot vape without e-liquid, and you cannot smoke without cigarette. First of all, I want you to know that e-liquid, e-juice, vape juice and juice all refer to one thing, they are all the same, an indispensable part of vaping bringing vapers different tastes and feelings according to different vape juice recipes. The ingredients of e-liquid are rather simple and food grade: PG(Propylene Glycol), VG(Vegetable Glycerin), Nicotine(Optional) and flavouring. Those terms seem technical, while you just need to know that PG and VG can make mass cloud/vapour, and more specifically, PG carries the flavour and VG is thicker and produces more vapour than PG. And it would bring you more “throat hit” feeling if it contains more PG in the juice.
However, the substance in a combustible cigarette is rather complex and apparently harmful: when burning a cigarette, it releases over 4,000 chemicals, including 43 carcinogenic compounds and 400 other toxins. These include nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, as well as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic and DDT.
Shortly, e-liquid in a qualified disposable vape is 95% less harmful than that in a cigarette.
How to get safe disposable vapes?
Now you can not only easily find disposable vapes in a vape shop in the street corner, but also at the checkout counter in some supermarkets, snack bars, and most accessibly, online vape wholesale shops. It is not easy to regulate the vape market with so many accessible channels, because unregulated vape products always appear on the market without a trace. Whereas, there are some tips for you to get safe disposable vapes.

Choose a reliable vape brand
When talking about purchasing a flavoursome soda beverage, the brand of Coke Cola is always the first one coming to my mind. But why? Because it almost meets all my need: reliable, delicious, cheap, and most importantly kill my cravings for soda beverage. Hence it is the same story when purchasing a disposable vape. In short, the disposable brands like Elf Bar, Geek Bar, MOTI PIIN, Elux Bar, and Dinner Lady are highly recommended if you are the first time vaping. These brands are specialized in vape industry for years and their vape products are properly registered on Medicines and Healthcare Regulation Authority (MHRA) website.
Check if the specifications are compliant to your local law
As I mentioned above, a compliant disposable vape in the UK should comply the following regulations(where you can find the information easily on the package or their official websites):
A maximum 2ml e-liquid capacity
A maximum of 20mg nicotine
A nicotine warning label
Generally speaking, a TPD Compliant disposable vape like Elf Bar or Geek Bar can offer 300 puffs – 800 puffs with maximum 2ml e-liquid and 350-550mAh battery capacity. Whereas higher capacity of e-liquid and nicotine strength may legal beyond UK market, like Elux Legend Pro – 3500 Puffs and 10ml of e-liquid, it is illegal in the UK market since it violets the TPD regulations.
Final Thoughts
After knowing what is a disposable vape, what is e-liquid and how to get safe disposable vape, the answer to the question is clearer, qualified and compliant disposable vapes are much safer than combustible cigarettes according to our vape review analyse.
