Probable stupid question from a not so noob

[scott63]

I was just wondering, what makes a disposable disposable. Are they one peice strictly throwaway units or could you stick a new carto in afterwards? could you recharge the battery if it was, say a 510 and i had a charger? I only ask because im trying to put a present together on a tight budget and can get a skycig basic kit with 1 battery three cartos and a usb charger for £12 and then a disposable for another six, ending up with ( if the disposable will in effect just end up being another battery) a two battery mini kit for soeone starting out for £18.

Thanks in advance

Hi Scott63,

Disposable ecigs are for one time use only. They generally last a day or two. The ones that I have come across are just one unit meaning the cartridge and battery are one unit and they can't be recharged.

A disposable doesn't have a separate battery that you can unscrew and charge. They are generally flimsy, one-piece units.

Cora typed faster than I did : )

Actually, vapers find that everything is disposable. It's just a question of relative durability, reactions to the newest toy, the never-ending search for the ultimate vape..................

Sorry, just couldn't help myself

There have been some rather awful accidents reported from people trying to recharge a disposable. Disposables are meant to be tossed once they have run out.
Rechargeables can, as the name says, be recharged. Most rechargeables I've seen can be recharged about 300 times.

I took a disposable apart once. Very interesting to see how it worked inside. No way could I have recharged that thing! LOL

Money wise if you go with blu prim kit it has a charger but cig will last only about 3 hours chartrages 3 days all guessing on how much you smoke. I found it was cheaper to get a twist 1100 ohm battery charger and some juice for less money and more satisfaction.

I would agree, it will be cheaper and more enjoying to your friend to pick him up an ego, or better yet a VV ego twist. The battery life is much better, you can use nearly any atomizer on them, pick out your own juice to fill them with, overall just a better vape experience. A lot of people try Blu and it turns them off to vaping entirely.
