Disposable vapes have always been the easiest way to vape. There is no filling or swapping of pods. All you need to do is open the packaging and puff away. 

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries have changed the disposable vape game, allowing for smaller, longer-lasting, more reliable and better performing designs. Still available in the best vape flavors, disposable vapes are all-in-one draw-activated devices that are ready to use out of the box. 

This is no small deal. An FDA study showed vape flavor bans increase cigarette sales. Providing flavor and satisfaction vapers want in a convenient package that is ready to use out of the box, it is easy to understand the popularity of disposables with adult vapers. And while puff counts have been consistently increasing, the longest lasting disposable vapes take it to another level. 

Rechargeable Disposable Vapes

Until rechargeable batteries were added, disposable vapes were limited in size. Even a 7ml disposable vape required a substantial battery of over 1000mAh. One of the disposables reviewed today is the Snoopy Smoke Extra Tank, which holds 36ml of nic salts. If not rechargeable, this device would require 5000mAh battery. 

Adding a charger port allows the use of a battery that only needs to last a day or so. The smaller battery allows more compact packaging and an e-liquid capacity that can allow for a week of vaping. 

More important, a rechargeable battery is better for performance. Rechargeable disposable vapes can use slightly lower resistance coils which generate more vapor and flavor. The issue of a disposable vape's performance collapsing when the battery reaches the end of its life is a thing of the past. A quick USB-C recharge has it firing again at full power. 

How Long Do Disposable Vapes Last?

Anyone one who remembers the first generation of disposable vapes realizes how far the designs have advanced, from the initial freebase filled cigalikes they progressed into stick shaped disposables like the Puff Bar. These were often filled with about 1ml of e-liquid. While bigger than a Juul pod, this was not much and they were not particularly reliable. What they had was tremendous flavor and nic salt satisfaction. 

Today's long-lasting disposable e-Cig devices can get a vaper through a whole week.

Puff counts can vary and depend entirely on how long your average inhale is. The best way to determine a disposable vapes longevity is by examining the e-Liquid capacity. There are some differences in coil resistance but they all fall within the 1 to 1.3ohm range. The batteries are invariably 3.7v designs, although their capacity can vary. A typical rechargeable disposable vape will have a 400 to 650mAh battery that needs to be recharged every day or two. 

Many disposables use very similar coil resistances and internal hardware so the battery capacity and prefilled e-Liquid volume are really the best indicators to look at.

Best Long-Lasting Disposable Vapes

Starting with granddaddy of the modern long-lasting disposable, below we have listed the best disposable devices for vapers seeking a high puff count. There are myriad disposables that can be recharged and kick out approximately 5000 delicious puffs today. These devices take a step further, not only in regards to the simple counting of puffs but in terms of performance, flavor, and features. Introducing the longest-lasting disposable vapes. 

Elf Bar BC5000

We would be remiss to not include the pioneer, and perhaps most popular vape since the prefilled pod flavor ban.

The Elf Bar rechargeable disposable vape is a rechargeable device that comes prefilled with 13mL of nic salt vape juice and can be charged with a USB-C charging cable. This enormous e-Juice capacity and rechargeable abilities made Elf Bar one of the longest lasting products on the market today, and also among the most popular. The Elf Bar BC5000 line was launched with 12 available vape flavors and a 50mg (5%) nicotine strength. The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 650mAh. 

Rebadged as the EBCREATE BC5000 the flavor selection has increased dramatically. A revision in how disposables are measured has dropped the listed e-liquid capacity to 9.5ml, but there is in reality no difference. The puff count and flavors are the same. Just a change in name and improvements made to the coil design enhance its performance when you get near the bottom. 

The popular Elf Bar vape was unique when launched because of its ergonomic square shape. This is a far different form factor than the typical cylindrical shape of most disposable vapes. Today, this shape is nearly universal and the same hardware appears in the popular Lost Mary OS5000. While the Elf Bar name in the US is no longer associated with the legendary BC5000, it still is available and one of the best and longest lasting disposable vapes.

• Puffs: ~5000
• Battery: 650mAh USB-C Rechargeable
• Device Size: 79mm × 41mm × 19mm

RabBeats RC10000

The RabBeats RC10000 collection is brought to you by the manufacturer of EBCREATE vapes and the disposable vape formerly known as the Elf Bar BC5000.

For a complete run-down, check out our RabBeats RC10000 review. For even more information, it is pitted against and bests a top-selling rival in the Orion Bar 7500 versus RabBeats RC10000 Comparison. 

The RabBeats RC10000 generates an estimated 10,000 puffs and has a nicotine strength of 50mg. It has a capacity of 18ml and is powered by a 620mAh battery.  In an impressive upgrade, the RabBeats RC10000 has a detailed battery life indicator. Gone are the days of parsing what a single display light means. More impressive is the e-liquid monitor, this is useful for monitoring how many puffs are left. 

But nothing matters as much as flavors in disposable vapes. The RabBeats RC10000 has robust vapor production for a disposable and an advanced mesh coil designed for the rigors of handling 18ml of e-liquid. The flavors stay crisp until the end, a huge upgrade that has started to pop up in recent models. 

The flavors include a few unique options and most of disposable vaping's greatest hits. These are the formulators who brought big and bold flavors into the BC5000, the RabBeats is simply a more powerful, advanced and longer lasting evolution. 

RabBeats RC10000 Specifications

• Nicotine Strength: 50mg
• Puffs: ~10,000
• E-Liquid Capacity: 18ml
• Battery: 620mAh (USB-C Rechargeable)
• Size: 85mm x 43mm x 22mm
• Battery Life Indicator
• E-Liquid Level Indicator
• Anti-Burn Mesh Coil

Flonq Max

The Flonq Max is one of the longest lasting disposable vapes.  It has an honest puff count of 8000 and absolutely pristine flavors. Its more sedate appearance, almost resembling the housing for Apple airbuds, is perfect for initiates to vaping who crave the convenience of disposables but might not find its pastel colored rivals something they are comfortable purchasing. 

The core of the Flonq Max are the decadent and expertly formulated nic salts and the sophisticated mesh coil that extracts every bit of flavor. The 650mAh lithium-ion battery has plenty of juice to cut through juice for a day or more. The 35mg nicotine strength provides plenty of satisfaction thanks to robust vapor production and perfectly calibrated airflow. If 50mg works a bit stiff for you, this 35mg is a perfect choice. Especially if you switched to disposables from 25-35mg bottled salt nic juice or are looking to reduce the nicotine strength you vape. 

The draw-activation fires almost instantly, with crisp flavor and vapor that can manipulated slightly by covering the air intake on the front facia. The reality is that this an MTL vape with high-potency nic salts, it doesn't exist to fire off clouds. 

The flavors of the Flonq Max are exceptional. The Banana Milkshake is one of the best banana iced vapes on the market, while blue lemonade adds a twist of even more deliciousness to the blue razz flavor that disposable vapers love. Strawberry Ice Cream is a fine dessert vape, with complex strawberry and cream notes augmented with an icy kick. These flavors were designed for the American palate, all the way down to one of the best grape vapes and an extremely authentic tobacco. 

Flonq Max Specifications

• Nicotine Strength: 35mg
• Puffs: ~8500
• E-Liquid Capacity: 14ml
• Battery: 650mAh (USB-C Rechargeable)
• Size: 89mm x 44mm x 15mm
• Battery Life Indicator
• Mesh Coil

IceWave X8500

The IceWave X8500 collection offers the same assortment of flavors as the smaller Drag Bar B3500 but with an icy twist. With a slightly taller and leaner form factor that the traditional BC5000, Flum Pebble shape, there is more room for e-liquid. Packing in 18ml of ice cold nic salts, with a strength of 50mg, the IceWave X8500, aims to please. 

Powered by Zovoo, the vapor production is pretty solid for an MTL disposable. The flavors still shine through, even with the advertised wave of ice. For a complete breakdown, check out our IceWave X8500 review. The 1.0ohm resistance coil is on the low-side for a disposable and the corresponding vapor density is that much higher.

Every popular flavor under the sun is here, and formulated by American masters to smooth out the cookie-cutter nature some of these common flavors can sometimes suffer from. 

IceWave X8500 Specifications

• Nicotine Strength: 50mg
• Puffs: ~8500
• E-Liquid Capacity: 18ml
• Battery: 600mAh (USB-C Rechargeable)
• Size: 100mm x 40mm x 23mm
• Battery Life Indicator

Prime Bar 8000 

The Prime Bar 8000 collection features outstanding flavors and the device itself is an attractive and long-lasting disposable vape. For a complete review of the flavors and device, check out our featured Prime Bar 8000 Review. 

The DuraMesh coil has a resistance of 1.0ohms and helps the Prime Bar deliver thick vapor with a responsive draw-activation that fires instantly. It is a sturdy device and not overly large, despite its increased e-liquid capacity. 

In theory, you can try to put the Duramesh coil and standard 3.7v battery to the test by blocking the air holes to create denser vapor. But it was designed for tight and flavorful hits with quite potent salt nic juice. If heavy clouds are your thing, a box mod makes a lot more sense. 

But when it comes to discrete and satisfying performance, the Prime Bar 8000 takes a backseat to no other disposable vape. Most disposable vapes do not have an airflow control because they are engineered to work as is, which in fact is the primary feature of these simple to use devices. And the Prime Bar 8000 sure delivers.

Prime Bar 8000 Flavors

With a nice mix of the typical disposable vape flavors, the blue razzes and mints of the world, and few unusual flavors, it really covers all the bases. The Gum Mint Prime Bar 8000 is a nearly perfect icy and sweet mint vape. 

Ice Pop is not actually an iced soda inspired flavor. It is a watermelon hard-confection inspired vape which was crafted to taste like a more nostalgic and lolling flavor. Across the board these are sweet and tasty flavors, formulated for the long-haul and meant not to tire your tastebuds. An important consideration when you are in it for 8000 puffs. 

Prime Bar 8000 Specifications

• Nicotine Strength: 50mg
• Puffs: ~8000
• E-Liquid Capacity: 15ml
• Battery: 650mAh (USB-C Rechargeable)
• Size: 107mm x 47mm x 22mm
• LED Battery Life Indicator
• LED E-Liquid Level Indicator
• DuraMesh Coil (1.0 Ω)

Funky Republic Ti7000

The Funky Republic Ti7000 is a sophisticated disposable vape with a slightly different form factor than the classic Lost Mary and EBCREATE design. As a result, it is a slightly heavier device but it more than makes up for this with an impressive puff count of 7000. The e-liquid capacity is 17ml and the nicotine strength is 50mg. The Funky Republic Ti7000 collection covers the gamut of great flavors. 

The Funky Republic, with branding gradually shifting to Funky Lands, has a host of standard flavors and the Frozen Edition collection as well. The QUAQ Technology Coil has industry-leading flavor clarity, and the 600mAh battery is plenty for a day of vaping. The e-liquid and battery life indicators are extremely convenient features. 

 The Frozen Edition of Duo Ice flavors is as chilly as advertised, but even the standard flavors are perfectly balanced. The most confusingly named flavor is the OSK Ice, which stands for Orange Starfruit Kiwi. 

Funky Republic Ti7000 Specifications

• Nicotine Strength: 50mg
• Puffs: ~7000
• E-Liquid Capacity: 17ml
• Battery: 600mAh (USB-C Rechargeable)
• Size: 100mm x 38mm x 24mm
• Battery Life Indicator
• E-Liquid Level Indicator
• QUAQ Mesh Coil

Snoopy Smoke Extra Tank

Up until now we have covered long-lasting vapes. The Snoopy Smoke Extra Tank is the longest-lasting disposable vape. With a pair of tanks, each holding 18ml, it is not much bigger than its rival disposable vapes but holds twice the e-liquid.

This disposable vape could just as easily be called the Snoopy Smoke Extra Coil as well, as each tank is separate and simply draws power from the same battery. The Snoopy Smoke Collection has a strong flavor line-up as well. If you wanted to know what a 36ml disposable vape looks like, Snoopy Smoke has the answer. 

Do not be deterred by the name Extra Tank. The Snoopy Smoke Extra Tank functions as follows. There are two tanks and each has a coil, airflow and its own draw-activation sensor. 

There is a plug and mouthpiece affixed when you open the packaging. When the first tank runs dry, switch the mouthpiece to fresh tank and move the plug to the empty tank. The two tanks are encased in a single frame that looks not dissimilar to an OS5000 or BC5000 with an extra hole. There is a single 650mAh battery that services both tanks, which are for all intents and purposes an individual disposable vape. It is actually a graceful solution, as otherwise the coil would be expected to chop through 36ml of nic salts without declining in quality.

Our detailed review of the Snoopy Smoke Extra Tank takes a closer look at the great flavors. If you are concerned that this device would be bulkier than you prefer, in lieu of fact it holds more than a whole bottle of salt nic juice, here is a size comparison with the 8500 puff Flonq Max. 

 While the Flonq Max has the Snoopy Smoke beaten in terms of pure flavor, the remarkable extra tank packaging allows it to nearly double the puff count in very similarly sized disposable. Granted, some of these size savings are due to the small and removable nature of the Snoopy Smoke Extra Tank's mouthpiece compared to the integrated stack on the Flonq. 

Snoopy Smoke Extra Tank

• Nicotine Strength: 50mg
• Puffs: ~15000+
• E-Liquid Capacity: 36ml (18ml x 2)
• Battery: 650mAh (USB-C Rechargeable)
• Battery Life Indicator
• Dual Mesh Coils

SNOOPY SMOKE EXTRA TANK FEATURES

• Individual Coil Per Tank
• Individual Air Flow Port Per Tank
• Individual Draw Activation Sensor per Tank

Oxbar G8000 Disposable Vape

The Oxbar G8000 collection has a strong array of flavors that take full advantage of the 8000 puff performance offered by this sturdy and reliable device. As far features, the Oxbar G8000 is competitive. The USB-C charging and quality vape juice are right at home on this exalted list. The rounded and compact shape is very convenient for such a long-lasting disposable vape. 

A hard clear shell gives the Oxbar G8000 a durable look, and the build quality seems sound. The draw-activation is crisp. The narrow mouthpiece is ideal for delivering a great MTL draw. 

Oxbar G8000 Flavors

The Oxbar G8000 places an emphasis on cool and sweet notes, to an extent notable even in the disposable vape market. There are plenty of great choices, ranging from the Clear Oxbar G8000, which is free of characterizing flavors to an array of fruity flavors. The Oxbar G8000 also has a couple tobacco flavored options. While these flavors are every bit as artificial as the most fanciful dessert vape, regulators and politicians seem unable to reconcile the adult vapers demanding delicious flavors and their own vision of what flavors are suitable and appropriate. 

Oxbar G8000 Specifications

• Nicotine Strength: 50mg
• Puffs: ~8000
• E-Liquid Capacity: 16ml
• Battery: 650mAh (USB-C Rechargeable)
• Size: 85.6mm x 49.7mm x 25.4mm
• Battery Life Indicator
• 1.2ohm Mesh Coil

Yovo JB8000 Disposable Vape

Described as a "Smart" disposable, the Yovo JB8000 definitely provides a great value with an estimated puff count of 8000. More importantly, it offers a display which gives a precise reading on battery life. A small graphic also monitors e-liquid levels.

In terms of performance, the Yovo JB8000 Collection has a wide array of great flavors. It is an attractive and slick device. Compact, sturdy and well-engineered, this USB-C rechargeable disposable vape is a strong contender in this field of heavyweights. 

The Yovo Bar JB8000 generates unusually robust puffs, thanks to a 0.8ohm coil. The industry standard is closer to 1.0 to 1.2ohms. Every disposable vape is drawing from a 3.7v battery but a lower resistance coil can kick out more vapor per puff. The airflow is well-designed to take advantage of this low-resistance edge. 

Yovo JB8000 Flavors

The PMW Yovo JB8000 is a vibrant flavor that features peach, watermelon, and mango notes. There are several strong mint flavors, including Cali Mint and Miami Mint. Citrus Cake is a strong dessert vape, adding a bit of variety to a collection which leans heavily on cool fruit flavors. 

Yovo Bar JB8000 Specifications

• Nicotine Strength: 50mg
• Puffs: ~8000
• E-Liquid Capacity: 12ml
• Battery: 650mAh (USB-C Rechargeable)
• Battery Life Indicator

Best Large Disposable e-Cigs

The cylindrical e-cig format is not as common in rechargeable disposable vapes. And without the ability to recharge, no e-cig is going to be able to run with this tough crew.

But there is one large disposable e-cig on the market with the chops and capacity to handle the murderers row of long lasting disposables listed above. Large is a misnomer as it is still compact considering the performance, but the puff count certainly is large with the Vaporlax Draco 6500. 

Vaporlax Draco 6500 Disposable Vape

The Vaporlax Draco disposable vape is long lasting disposable vape. It maintains the classic vape pen shape, but is rechargeable and generates up to 15000 puffs. A rechwhopping 16ml of vape juice.

The Vaporlax Draco is a bit of a throwback as it has a larger battery than the EBCreate, Lost Mary, Flum and other popular models with the small rectangular shape. It is still a relatively compact design, but it is about an inch longer. The battery has a capacity of 1000mAh and is Micro-USB rechargeable. 

The long lasting Draco has a nicotine strength of 50mg. The larger size allows for enhanced features, a dual airflow control that is easy accessible at the bottom of the device allows you to adjust the vapor production and flavor density.

Vaporlax Draco Disposable Flavors

The Vaporlax Draco comes in twelve outstanding flavor profiles including Cool Mint, Strawberry Cream, Mixed Berries, and Blue Lush (Lush Ice).

Some unique vape flavors in this line that are a must-try for vapers are Mango Dragonfruit, Citrus Lemonade, Sour Cherry, and Red Grape.

Nic Salts

What all of the longest lasting disposable vapes have in common is the use of potent nic salts. Whether it is a cylindrical large disposable e-cig, an old fashioned Puff Bar or Posh Stick, or the tremendous moderndisposable vapes, the characteristics of salt nicotine allow them to provide a satisfying experience for adult vapers.

It isn't just a matter of nicotine content. Early freebase disposable e-cigs had similar strengths. Nic salt e-Liquid allows for an incredibly smooth throat hit and crisp flavors, all without requiring a very high wattage output.

This allows the use of smaller batteries and also means that less e-liquid is vaporized per puff. 

Next to ease of use, the biggest feature of disposable eCigs is that they are still available in a wide variety of vape juice flavors. Prefilled pods also use nic salts but are limited to artificial tobacco flavors. Most adult vapers prefer sweeter characterizing flavors and only ill-conceived flavor bans prop up tobacco flavors. 

Disposing of Disposable Vapes

The use of rechargeable batteries has made disposable vapes more efficient. They are also extremely durable and designed for everyday, on-the-go vaping. But they should still be handled and stored properly. Make sure you keep your disposable vapes out of the reach of pets and children. 

These are not toys and should be treated with the same respect as any electronic device with a lithium-ion battery. Sure disposable vapes are tough, almost to the point of seeming indestructible. This is not an excuse to spike them on the ground to see if they crack. 

More importantly, these may be the longest-lasting disposable vapes but they are still one-time use. When the e-liquid is depleted, dispose of them properly. 

Responsible Disposable Vape Recycling

Disposable vapes offer a convenient and user-friendly vaping experience, it's essential to use and dispose of these devices responsibly. 

Improper disposal not only contributes to environmental pollution but reflects poorly on an already embattled industry. All manner of untrue myths swirl around disposable vapes and the adults that use them. Why add to the issue by littering these often brightly colored and easily recognizable devices?

Here are some steps to ensure you're disposing of your disposable vape responsibly:

1. Deplete the Battery: Drain the battery as much as possible, balancing the e-liquid and battery levels is easier on a device like RabBeats RC10000 which monitors both. 
2. Locate a Recycling Facility: Many electronic waste recycling facilities accept disposable vapes. Look up local recycling programs in your area and drop off your used device there.
3. Dispose of in Regular Waste, if Necessary: If you can't find a suitable recycling facility, dispose of the vape in your regular household waste. However, avoid littering at all costs.
4. Spread Awareness: Encourage fellow vapers to dispose of their disposable vapes responsibly. As a community, we can contribute to a cleaner and healthier planet.
