The best disposables for max flavor, capacity & vaping performance.

Disposables quickly become the most popular style of e-cigarette in 2023. Even though they have been around for over a decade, it’s only recently that technology has really pushed their performance to another level.

There are so many choices when it comes to disposable e-cigs. So we compiled this list by testing and reviewing as many as possible to help you find the best disposable vape pen for your needs.

Best Disposable Vapes 2023

1. Elf Bar 5000

The ElfBar BC5000 is the longest-lasting out of all these disposables even though it only contains a 650mAh battery – and that’s because even though it’s disposable, it’s also rechargeable via USB Type C. It has a gigantic 13ml pre-filled juice capacity and can deliver a whopping 5000 puffs (although you won’t achieve this on a single charge). It has a stylish flask design, comes in some delicious flavors, and is one of the best disposables for longevity.

Why We Picked It: All of us liked that Elf has a vast range of flavors, so it was easy to find several that we enjoyed using daily. The fact that the BC500 can deliver 5000 puffs but maintained a small footprint, thanks to being rechargeable is a major benefit. It delivers where it counts on performance, and has a smooth draw.

The Elf Bar has moved up in the top list due to the release of several new limited edition flavors and the Elf Bar Ultra, which uses the new QUAQ coil for improved taste, expanding their selection and appealing to a broader customer base.

2. Zovoo Dragbar 5000

The Dragbar 5000 is a sensational disposable vape. It comes in a two-tone bottle-shaped design, which is both funky and functional. It has a 13ml pre-filled juice capacity and an internal 630mAh battery that can be recharged via USB Type -C. The Dragbar 5000 can deliver up to 5000 puffs per bar. Zovoo and the Dragbar line have some of the most accurate and sumptuous flavors

Why We Picked It: As soon as we tried the Dragbar 5000 it was a no-brainer to be included in this list. Zovoo has done a fantastic job with the flavors (although we wish there were a few more options) – O.M.G and Peach Ice flavors are particular favorites. The design of the Dragbar is also excellent, with the mouthpiece being great for MTL vaping, and it delivers a perfectly smooth and satisfying draw. The device’s body is a little glossy, but we all loved the fun design.

3. Zovoo Dragbar B5000

The Dragbar B5000 is another cracking disposable from Zovoo. It comes in the familiar form factor with 13ml of prefilled juice, and a 500mAh internal battery that can be recharged via USB-C. The B5000 can deliver up to 5000 puffs, and has a very smooth MTL draw and some exceptional flavors.

Why We Picked It: The B5000 is easily one of the best disposables when it comes to flavors and performance. While we do love the smooth rubberized body and vibrant colors, we just slightly preferred the form factor of the Dragbar 5000, which also has a slightly bigger battery. But it’s really difficult to choose between the two, they are both excellent disposables. So maybe check out the flavor ranges which are slightly different – we fell in love with the Watermelon Lychee.

4. Lost Vape Orion Bar 7500

The Lost Vape Orion Bar 7500 is an incredibly impressive disposable. It comes prefilled with a huge 18ml of juice, has a 650mAh battery, that is rechargeable via USB-C and can deliver up to 7500 puffs. The Orion Bar 7500 comes in some fantastic flavors that really deliver, and it has adjustable airflow too. It is also one of the most eye-catching funky disposables on this list.

Why We Picked It: We absolutely loved the vape we got from the whole Orion Bar 7500 range. The adjustable airflow works excellently, and you can get a tight to loose MTL draw that is smooth and packed full of flavor. We have only marked it down on the looks which are a little polarizing, but the performance is really top notch.

5. Flum Float

Flum Float disposables have a unique design. This colorful and eye-catching disposable integrates a 1100mAh battery and is filled with 8ml of 5% salt nicotine e-liquid. This means the Flum Float can deliver up to 3000+ puffs. It’s available in 14 amazing flavor and color combinations. There’s also a Flum Float Black Edition with extra flavors for those with a dark side.

Why We Picked It: While we were not all fans of the design of the Flum float, there’s no denying it’s unique. The Black edition is also a little less feminine. One thing we did love about the design is the mouthpiece which makes it excellent for MTL vaping. When it comes to the key features of a disposable, they really knock it out of the park. They have a great juice and battery capacity and delivered close to 3000 puffs. More impressively we really loved most of the flavors, they are super punchy, unique and some of the best we’ve tried.

6. Vaporlax Mesh

The Vaporlax Mesh is an updated version that comes with the same 6.5ml salt juice but now can deliver 3000 puffs (double the previous 1500 puffs). Perhaps more impressive is the super-smooth adjustable airflow and the vast amount of flavor options currently available – 25. They range from fruits, menthol, desserts, and everything in between with either a 50MG or 25MG nicotine level – all deliver a great vape experience. Vaporlax disposables have been a mainstay in our list and the Vaporlax Mesh is possibly their best disposable vape to date.

Why We Picked It: Just like Vaporlax’s Sirius range, these come in a bundle of flavor options. The Vaporlax Mesh delivers excellent performance from its mesh coils with a smooth draw. They fall a little short of the advertised 3000+ puffs, but it’s still very impressive longevity for a compact mesh coil disposable. We love that they have the option of 2% or 5% nicotine strengths making them more versatile.

7. Cube

The Cube is a beast of a disposable, not just because of its size. The Cube packs an enormous 11ml of pre-filled juice and can deliver 3000 puffs per pen! The Cube also includes an adjustable airflow switch and has a fantastic range of flavors. The Cube uses 50mg nic salts and also comes in a nicotine-free version called Cube Zero.

Why We Picked It: While the Cube is on the large side, we actually really loved its boxy form. The build quality is also excellent, with the matte finish helping with grip. While the adjustable airflow doesn’t make a huge difference, it does work and is a nice added extra. The Cube range really shines with its flavor range, we enjoyed most we tried with Strawnana (Banana Strawberry), Tropic, and Nirvana being our favorites.

8. Sirius 2200

The Sirius 2200 by Vaporlax comes in over 20 different flavors, and each one has a whopping 10ml of vape juice. Combined with a 1500mAh battery, the Sirius 2200 can deliver 2200 hits (as the name suggests) which is mightily impressive. The Sirius comes with 50mg salt nicotine vape juice and has some of the most delicious fruit flavors on offer.

Why We Picked It: The Sirius range impressed us all right out of the gate with its performance. There are a few hit-and-miss flavors, but with such a vast range of options, you can’t really go wrong. We particularly loved the Lush Ice and Hawaiian Mix.

9. Zovoo Dragbar R6000

The Dragbar R6000 is one of many Dragbar disposables on the market. However it is one of the very few that is designed specifically for direct-to-lung vaping. It features adjustable airflow and comes with 18ml of juice with a 3mg strength which is perfect for DTL vaping. It is powered by a 1000mAh battery which is rechargeable via USB Type C, and can deliver up to 6000 puffs per disposable. If you are looking for a disposable that can handle cloud chasing with a smooth draw and great flavors – the R6000 is your best choice.

Why We Picked It: We think the R6000 is the perfect device for someone who wants a disposable device that can chuck some clouds and deliver a DTL draw. We found the draw on the R6000 to be super smooth and the adjustable airflow worked to cover an open and restricted DTL vape. We were also impressed by Zovoo’s flavor range. However, one thing we were not so keen on was the plasticky feel of the device but did appreciate it kept to the Dragbar design form.

10. Draco

Draco disposables are some of the most eye-catching vape pens from all the disposable vape brands on this list. It is not all about style though, as they come with a rechargeable 1000mAh battery and are prefilled with 16ml of nicotine salt juice – making it good for 6500+ puffs, and one of the longest-lasting disposable vapes. It doesn’t stop there as the Draco also features adjustable airflow, so you can tailor a satisfying MTL draw. If you want to buy a disposable that stand out from the crowd but still delivers longevity and flavor, give the Draco a try.

Why We Picked It: The aesthetics of the Draco can be a little subjective, and while we prefer our disposables to look a little more subtle, there’s no denying they offer a lot. The performance is great from the Mesh coils and adjustable airflow. We also absolutely love the mouthpiece which is ideal for MTL vaping and wish others would follow suit. The 6500 puff count is excellent and we enjoyed the flavors, especially the ‘Luscious’ and ‘Mango Dragonfruit’. They do lean a little heavily on the cooling agent.

Why are disposable e-cigs so popular?

Disposables have come a long way in the last year with vast improvements in coils, battery life, and form factors. If you combine this with some fantastic flavors that are on offer, it’s easy to see the appeal.

They can now deliver a vape experience similar to that of other vape products on the market but in a much more convenient way. They are the perfect gateway for users to get into vaping without having to worry about coil replacements, batteries, nicotine levels, and PG/VG ratios.

Ultimately they are simple to use, pocket-friendly and deliver a great vape experience.

Who are Disposable Vapes for?

Disposable vapes can be used by any type of vaper. Most disposables are targeted at new vapers or those looking to make the transition from smoking. This is because they are the closest type of vaping device to a traditional cigarette. They are easy to use, require no technical knowledge of vaping and deliver a satisfying throat hit and smooth draw.

However, that disposable vapes deliver such a good vape experience. You will also find more experienced vapers using them as a backup device, or one to take out when they don’t want to lose or damage their more expensive vaping device.

If you are looking for something a little more customizable that can deliver a more powerful vape, then a disposable e-cig is not for you. A vape mod or advanced pod system will deliver more power, potentially more flavor, and have a more customizable draw.

How to Use A Disposable Vape Pen

Using a disposable e-cigarette is as simple as it gets with vaping. All you need to do is remove the device from the packaging, and remove any silicone plugs in the mouthpiece (they prevent leaking in transportation. Then to start vaping, simply inhale on the mouthpiece and enjoy.

You never need to worry about refilling a disposable as they are pre-filled with e-liquid. Typically you don’t even have to worry about recharging a disposable e-cig either. It’s as simple as using it until it stops working and then dispose of it in an electronics waste bin. All disposable e-cigs contain lithium-ion batteries so you must dispose of them properly.

Advantages of Disposable E-Cigs

• Simple to use
• Draw activated
• No maintenance
• Anti-leak design
• No refilling required
• Similar draw to a cigarette
• High nicotine strengths (using nicotine salts)
• No recharging (typically)
• Compact and portable
• Affordable entry to vaping

Disadvantages of Disposable E-Cigs

• Can’t customize your vape
• Cannot be refilled
• Less powerful than other vape devices
• Only one-time use
• Can’t see the remaining juice level
• Better flavor delivery from more advanced devices
• Wasteful and not environmentally friendly
• Less cost-effective over time

Pro tips for your disposable vape device

Disposables are simple to use as they have no replaceable parts and just consist of a battery and a vape juice reservoir with a built-in coil.

So unlike other vape devices where pro tips may be needed on how to maintain your vape and prevent any issues, there’s not much to cover with disposables.

However, even with the best disposable vape pens – we still have some tips that you might want to consider:

• Disposable e-cigs are made for one-time use, so you need to remember that they have a small lithium-ion battery inside. Avoid storing them in extreme temperatures or exposing them to high levels of humidity; these conditions can shorten the lifespan and diminish battery life.
• Dispose of them like other lithium-ion batteries, by taking them to a drop-off location for designated battery recycling.
• Disposables are meant for one-time use only, so do not attempt to hack them for a refill or fix any other issues because this can lead to auto-firing and the potential breakage of the pen.
• While drawing on a disposable vaporizer, be mindful of where your fingers are placed. If they are covering the airflow holes (normally at the bottom), there is a chance that you will damage the device and it may leak.
• Only ever draw from the mouthpiece – To avoid accidental auto-fire, do not in any circumstance draw from the bottom of the device; it may lead to auto-firing. There are no buttons on a disposable vape pen, so there’s no way to turn it off and on without impacting its safety performance.
• Dispose of your disposable e-cig once the flavor drops off, even if there is more battery life. Push it too far, and you might get a foul taste or burnt hit.
• Don’t worry about counting puffs! The puff estimation of these devices was made by automatic puff machines for optimized draw durations. In general, the numbers are accurate enough but don’t waste your time counting how many puffs are delivered by each of the disposable vape devices.

So now that we’ve covered some of the best disposable e-cigs and vape pens on the market and tips to keep them safe and running. There should be no reason you can’t enjoy that nicotine hit in the simplest of vape devices.

Disposables are convenient and easy to use! They can fit in your pocket, they’re small and compact, they don’t require recharging, and there’s no learning curve. However, as with any electronic device powered by batteries, there will always be some safety concerns; caution should always be practiced when vaping with disposable vape products.
