Pros of Disposable CBD Vape Pens

Cost-Effective

Leas et al. (2021) noted that one of the most significant selling points of disposables is their cost. Anyone can obtain them at a low price, making them popular among impulse buyers. They offer high quality at low-cost vaping. Even though refillable CBD vape pens are cost-effective in the long run, their initial price is hugely discouraging for many vapers.

Easy to Use

Galimov et al. (2021) indicated that the significant difference between a refillable and disposable CBD vape pen is that the disposable CBD vape pen does not need to be recharged, refilled, or replaced, unlike its counterpart. Once its e-juice or battery deprives, discard it. The disposable CBD vape pen is a favorite among most new vapers since they are an easy way to enter the vaping world. Additionally, most individuals love it, especially those who want to quit smoking, since it mimics the experience. They do not require buttons to be activated like the traditional vape pens. All that is required is to inhale and vape. Due to this, it is an ultra-convenient method for individuals who love minimal hassle in vaping.

Less Toxic Than Combustible Cigarettes

Most vapers are generally concerned if disposable CBD vape pens are safe. Vapor is not similar to smoke. Luckily, the disposable CBD vape pen does not produce carbon monoxide, which is one of the most harmful components of tobacco smoke. Choi et al.(2021) showed that vaping is around ninety-nine percent less toxic than regular smoking. For those who want to kick their smoking habits, you can try using a disposable vape pen whose flavor you enjoy the most.

One Can Choose the Nicotine Strength

The CBD e-liquid contains various constituents such as vegetable glycerin (VG), flavoring, nicotine, and propylene glycol (PG). These ingredients are adjustable, meaning the user can choose their proportion, nicotine strength, and sweetness. The TPD Compliance only allows nicotine strength of twenty milligrams. You can choose your preferred nicotine strength ranging from zero to twenty milligrams.

Requires Zero Maintenance

The disposable vape pen does not require refilling, recharging, coil changing, or tank cleaning. Most beginners should begin their vaping journey with the disposable vape pen since it reduces learning costs making their journey easy. The primary highlights of the disposable vape pen are its simplicity and convenience.

No Displeasing Odor

Constant smokers are probably aware that it is obvious for your car or fingers to have a funny smell once done. Additionally,  most people find the smoke smell to be annoying. Unlike combustible cigarettes, the disposable CBD vape pen's odor is barely noticeable. Furthermore, when using a flavored disposable, its odor is more pleasing.

It Offers Maximum Satisfaction to the Taste Buds

The disposable vape is available in hundreds of flavors. Ranging from mint, and blue raspberry to pure candy flavor, every vaper's taste bud is well-taken care of, whether a sweet tooth or fruit lover.

It Gives Instant Nicotine Satisfaction

If you want to fight nicotine cravings and can't find a reliable device, a disposable CBD vape pen might be effective for you; not only is it cost-effective, but it also fights the nicotine craving immediately once you take a few hits since nicotine salt is absorbed faster in the bloodstream than freebase nicotine—making a disposables CBD vape pen a perfect option for outdoor activities.

Cons of Disposable CBD Vape Pens

Though disposable vape pens have multiple advantages, these affordable devices have serious flaws.

Poorly Made Heating Components

The poorly made heating components lead to overheating or undereating CBD oil; overheating causes the oil to deteriorate with time rendering it less effective.

Environmental Impact

Most times you walk down the streets, you probably stumble upon disposable vape waste; it can be its packaging or even a squashed old pen. Hernandez et al.(2021) noted that these vape devices have valuable metal endings, and most of them end up in a landfill. How long do we have to sustain these devices' throw-away culture? What makes it worse is that the climate crisis is increasing at an alarming rate. A disposable vape pen is discarded every second, leading to around ten tons of lithium ending up in a landfill annually.

Affordability

Purchasing a disposable vape pen at first might seem like an affordable solution. However, it's much more expensive in the long run than traditional e-cigarettes.

Unregulated Products

Most disposable vape pens available in convenience stores nowadays are unregulated. Two trading standards stop thousands of unregulated vape pens weekly; sadly, most are disposable e-cigs.

Conclusion

Disposable vape pens are popular mostly among new vapers or those who love a quick fix immediately. These devices have their good and also wrong sides. Some advantages include their ease of use, less harmful than regular cigarettes,  little or no maintenance, no displeasing odor, and a wide array of flavors to choose from. On the other hand, some of its cons include; they are one of the most unregulated vape devices in the market, making them one of the most unsafe products, expensive in the long run, impact the environment negatively, and lastly, have poorly made heating components.
