Best Disposable Vape Alternatives

It was once easier for the manufacturers of refillable vapes to design an alternative to gas station prefilled pods and disposable vapes. Draw-activation, an 800mAh battery and a light to show when the battery is dying was enough.

Afterall, this was the full suite of features available on a Juul, Vuse Alto, Puff Bar or even an Elf Bar BC5000. Today we are looking at a pair of devices from Geekvape, not to be mistaken with Geek Bar, that offer performance beyond any one-time use device. 

Their power and capabilities are necessary because times have changed. Disposable vapes now offer adjustable draws, display screens, and multiple modes. While pod capacity has not increased on the gas station pods, disposable vapes can contain upwards of 20ml of e-liquid. 

A Smok Novo or UWell Caliburn might be able to match the flavor and vaping experience of a disposable but they lack some of the flash. Mi-Pod carries a wide selection of vape kits in order to appeal to the preferences of all adult vapor consumers.

Geekvape Pod Kits

Their Geekvape Digi Pro and Max pod system vapes are visually and technologically impressive. The Pro is the more compact of the two and the Max has more power plus a better screen.

Geekvape is well-positioned in this more competitive market and the sophisticated devices available. The Aegis Boost and Sonder Q 2 are best-selling devices with an admirable track record. The Digi Pro and Max look to continue this tradition. 

With a refillable device, you can save money, reduce waste, and pick any style of e-liquid to vape. This opens lower nicotine vapes, zero nicotine vapes, cloud-friendly freebase e-liquids, and of course potent nic salts. 

Any device in the Geekvape Collection has the flexibility and power to serve as a disposable vape alternative.

Yet there are major differences. Which one is the better choice for you? Certainly, the Sonder series are a lot simpler than the new Digi Max and Digi Pro. 

Can one be considered a perfect disposable vape alternative? With the Aegis Boost and Sonder Q 2 already available, where do the two powerful Digi mod pods fit into the Geekvape Collection. That is a discussion for a different day. Now it is time to examine the new Digi Max and Digi Pro. 

Geekvape Digi Pro versus Geekvape Digi Max Overview

There are some similarities in appearance between the Geekvape Digi Max and Digi Pro Pod Kits. They can fulfill the same duties, but they are not really designed for the same purpose. Both have a sleek design, but the more powerful Max is a bit taller and chunkier. The difference is not much though.

Geek Vape Digi Pro Pros and Cons

Pros: The Digi Pro Pod Mod Kit 2000mAh has a ton of flexibility and flashy features that improve the user experience. A great answer for adult consumers looking replace their Geek Bar Pulse X without losing the flash or power.

Cons: You will need to get a Geekvape J Cartridge replacement if you want the higher resistance pods, as the picked two of the medium resistance options for the pod mod kit.

Geek Vape Digi Max Pros and Cons

Pros: With a higher max output and the same features, the Geekvape Digi Max mod can compete with a full vape mod or a disposable. Can provide similar vaping experience with a much bigger battery. 

Cons: You will need a replacement Geekvape JR Pod pack if you want to tap into the 0.2ohm resistance coils and 80W power output. The 80W of output is unlikely to be called upon by most customers. Seems to hit harder with button fire versus draw-activation.

Geekvape Digi Pro Pod Mod Kit 2000mAh Overview

The Geekvape Digi Pro Pod Mod kit is more closely aligned with what a modern disposable vape customer is looking for. It has multiple activation modes and can be draw or button fired. It has an impressive display. With up to 40W of power on tap, the Geekvape Digi Pro Mod kit 2000mAh has enough powerful performance to vape freebase e-Juice.

While 0.8 and 1.2ohm J-cartridge replacement pods are ideal for nicotine salts, it comes with the 0.4ohm and 0.6ohm pods. These two J-pods, with built-in coils, are still excellent choices as the 0.6ohm coil fires at a modest range of 16 to 21W.

Pods don't last forever, and you will need replacement pods, so it is worth experimenting with the options available. Several offer optimal performance and flavor in the exact range of wattage that adult consumers using a dual mesh coil disposable are used to. And the top airflow control design is brilliant. The kit is also compatible with JR-replacement pods.

The zinc alloy chassis has a great feel, and you can just tell this is a vape device that is built to last and oozes reliability. It does not come with the high-resistance pods that a gas station pod kit user. The J might prefer the 0.4 and 0.6ohm pods included offer very balanced performance.

The Geek Vape Digi Pro Pod Mod Kit is USB-C rechargeable, comes with a USB Cable and is powered by a 2000mAh battery. There is a locking function on the bottom, a switch in the exact spot where Geek Bar puts their mode control.

Geekvape Digi Pro Pod Mod Screen

Screens and animations are big thing with adult vapers for whatever reason. The Geekvape Digi Pro does not neglect this. The color screen has adjustable animations, adjustable brightness, touch screen controls that unlock a full menu of options, three vaping modes (Smart, Boost, Eco), and a colorful flowing light strip along the side of the vape. The screen is 0.96" and the press button interaction is seamless, with a pair of control arrows below the bottom of the screen and the fire button serving as an "enter" button. It even has a lock on the bottom. It is nice to be able to dim the screen and remove the animations while still being able to monitor battery life.

For those really into animations, the Digi Pro has some cool ones, and you can select them. You can also adjust the brightness or turn them off. The multiple modes are easy to access as well on a simple menu that provides excellent UX.

The 5ml pod size is perfect. It lasts more than a day without weighing you down with tank filled with browning e-liquid that you won't clear for a week. The J-Pods provide crisp performance. We found the J-Pod with a built-in coil with 0.6ohms of resistance to not be overpowered compared to a Pulse Mode or Turbo Mode disposable vape. That said, the 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm replacement pods 2pcs pack should are worth picking up out of the gate so you can compare the flavor.

The functions on the screen do not come across as superfluous digital accessories. Our favorite feature was not on the device at all nor exclusive to the Digi Pro. The airflow control slide on the J pods and JR pods is brilliant.

Geekvape Digi Max Pod Mod Kit

What is better than a pod mod kit 2000mAh? Well, a 3000mAh version of course. But this is more than a supersized version of the Digi Pro Pod Mod kit. It may use the same replacement pods, but it has a more impressive color screen, offers truly adjustable wattage, and faster charging capabilities.

Its biggest advantage is that it also has double the potential output. This may not matter to nic salt vapers but will make a difference to Direct-Lung cloud chasers and fans of lower nicotine freebase vapes.

Geekvape Digi Max Pod Mod Screen

For both the Geekvape Digi Max and Digi Pro Mod Kit 2000mAh, the screen is a highlight. This is true both what the screen can do and the fact you can shut it down. The animations while vaping is neat.

The flowing RGB ribbon is a bit much in a darkened room. The menus provide a very similar interface. The big difference is the ability to adjust the precise wattage on the 80W Max. This is an option in Custom Mode and are overridden in Smart Mode which will cap what power you choose depending on the pod installed. 

Vaping the Geekvape Digi Max Mod

The coil compatibility of these two pod system vapes means you can enjoy nearly identical vaping experiences. The big edge of the Max is that has a bigger battery, more power on tap, and a slightly faster Type-C charger accessories and customizable wattage settings.

The external dimensions are close enough where all things being equal the Max is the superior device. But if you want to save money by getting the less capable model and have no intention of using more than 40W of power, the advantages of the Pro quickly disappear.

This brings us to our only complaint about this brilliant device. Since it does have so much more capability, why is it sent with the same two pods as the Max Pro? Why didn't it arrive with the 0.2ohm or 0.3ohm options so we could really take it for a spin. Because at 80W, this is a pod mod and can go toe-to-toe with some very formidable players.

Geek Vape Cartridge Replacement Pods

The same size pod is used for both pod mods. You can select either the J-Pods, which have a built-in coil or the JR Pods where the coil is replaceable. The difference is minimal in terms of selection, so it will come down to personal preference and even availability.

Our Verdict

The Geekvape Digi Pro and Max are powerful and capable. Is it worth replacing your Aegis Boost with this somewhat similar model, maybe not depending on coil and pod availability.

As far as a pure disposable vape alternative, the Sonder Q 2 provides more than enough power and flavor, with a 1350mAh battery and 30W output but it simply does not have the flash as it was benchmarked against an earlier generation of prefilled vapes that did not have giant screens.

If you are looking for a reliable vape that can handle nicotine salts or freebase, has amazing flavor and bulletproof durability, the Digi Pro Mod Kit 2000mAh and the upgraded Max version are perfect choices. They can function just like a mod when called upon and open a wonderful world of open system vapes.

Why to Switch from Disposable Vapes to Refillable Vapes

Disposable vapes are a very affordable option for adult vapor consumers and come in great flavors. Their ease of use is why they are such a dominant force, while their massive capacities and fast charging batteries make them even more convenient. While a reusable device is more environmentally friendly, we realize the important role disposable vapes play for adult nicotine consumers and our disposable vapes collection includes a wide range of flavors and devices. 

There are two primary drawbacks to disposable vapes. The first is that they are wasteful. After one use, a battery, screen and entire device are pitched in the trash. Disposable vapes like the Off Stamp X-Cube, Digiflavor BRK and Foger Switch Pro 

ameliorate the situation by making the screen and battery half reusable. But the disposable pod still contains a battery and is much more involved and bulkier than a replaceable coil or pod. 

The second drawback is the lack of nicotine strength options. Almost every disposable vape is only available in 50mg strength. This made sense when you paid a premium for a few wispy puffs from a Blu cigalike or the flavor fixated, 0.7ml Juul pods. But 50mg strength is less necessary when a device is churning out ample vapor with an output of 25W and the device itself holds half a bottle of nic salts inside. The Lost Mary MT15000 Turbo is available in 20mg strength, but most rivals are not.
