The Rise of Nic Salts and the Disposable Trend
Vaping has come a long way from bulky mods and basic tanks. Today, vapers can choose between the simplicity of disposable vapes and the versatility of refillable pod systems that use Nicotine Salt e-liquids.
What Are Nic Salts?
Nicotine Salt, or Nic Salt, is a refined form of nicotine that includes a small amount of organic acid to create a smoother throat hit. This makes it comfortable to vape even at higher nicotine strengths. Nic Salts deliver nicotine to the bloodstream faster than traditional e-liquids, giving a satisfying hit within seconds.
Nic Salts are perfect for those transitioning from smoking or anyone who wants a powerful yet smooth vape. They’re especially enjoyable when paired with a quality device like the Doozy Infinity Device, which allows you to get the best performance from every flavour.
What Makes Disposable Vapes So Popular?
Disposable vapes are ready to use straight out of the box. Each one comes pre-filled with Nic Salt e-liquid and a built-in battery. Once it runs out of e-liquid or charge, you throw it away.
Their ease of use appeals to beginners and casual vapers who want an effortless experience. Yet, this convenience comes at the cost of performance, flavour quality, and sustainability.
Flavour and Performance: Nic Salts Deliver a Better Experience
Disposable vapes have a fixed airflow and power output. This limits how much flavour you can get from the e-liquid inside. Once the battery weakens or the coil wears down, flavour quality drops quickly.
Result:
Bottled Nic Salts in an open pod deliver deeper, richer flavour.
Disposables can feel muted and inconsistent.
Cost Efficiency: Nic Salts Save You Money
The cost difference between Nic Salts and disposables is one of the biggest reasons to switch.
A typical disposable costs around £5–£7 and contains about 2ml of e-liquid. A 10ml bottle of Nic Salt e-liquid, which provides the same amount of liquid as five disposables, usually costs under £5.
If you care about taste, open pod Nic Salt setups are the clear winner.
Example:
5 Disposables (~10ml total) = £30+
1 Bottle of Nic Salt liquid (10ml) = ~£5
Pod refill cost = £2–£3 per week
Over a month, that’s a saving of around 60% or more. Bottled Nic Salts clearly offer better value for anyone who vapes regularly.
Environmental Benefits: A Cleaner Way to Vape
Disposable vapes create a large amount of waste. Each contains plastic, metal, and a lithium battery, which often end up in landfill. Millions of these are discarded every week, raising serious environmental concerns.
Refillable open pod systems are designed for reuse. You refill the same pod and recharge the battery instead of throwing the entire device away. By switching to bottled Nic Salts, you can enjoy vaping while reducing your environmental footprint.
Customisation and Control: The Power of Open Pod Systems
Disposable vapes provide a one-size-fits-all experience. There is no way to control airflow, wattage, or vapour density.
With Nic Salts in an open pod system, you can:
Adjust airflow for a tight or airy draw
Control power levels to fine-tune warmth and vapour
Choose from a wide range of flavours and nicotine strengths
This flexibility means you can tailor your vape exactly to your preferences. Whether you want a smooth mouth-to-lung draw or a slightly denser cloud, Nic Salts in pods make it possible.
Shelf Life and Quality
Bottled Nic Salts also last longer. Their slower oxidation rate helps preserve nicotine strength and flavour quality over time. Disposables, especially when stored in warm or bright conditions, can lose potency and taste.
With bottled Nic Salts, your liquid stays fresh for longer, giving you a more consistent experience every time you refill.
The Verdict: Nic Salts in Pods Outperform Disposables
Nic Salts in refillable pod systems deliver everything disposables cannot. They produce richer flavour, smoother hits, and far better value for money.
Disposables might be convenient, but they are costly, wasteful, and limited. For vapers who want premium flavour, control, and sustainability, bottled Nic Salts in an open pod device are the clear winner.
