A disposable e-cigarette is a type of electronic cigarette designed for single use. Unlike rechargeable or refillable e-cigarettes, disposables come pre-charged and pre-filled with e-liquid, so there's no need for maintenance, refilling, or charging. Once the battery or e-liquid is depleted, the entire device is discarded.
Key features of disposable e-cigarettes include:
1. **Compact and portable**: Small and easy to carry.
2. **Pre-filled with e-liquid**: Usually contain a fixed amount of e-liquid, often ranging from 1.3 ml to 5 ml.
3. **No buttons or settings**: Typically, they are draw-activated, meaning you inhale to use them without pressing any buttons.
4. **Variety of flavors**: Available in various flavors and nicotine strengths, often including both nicotine salts and freebase nicotine.
5. **Single-use**: When the e-liquid runs out or the battery dies, the device is thrown away.
They've become popular for their convenience, especially among new vapers or those looking for a more portable, hassle-free vaping option. However, due to their disposability, there are environmental concerns associated with the waste they generate, particularly with the plastic components and batteries they contain.
