If you’re one of the millions of people who use disposable e-cigarettes, you’re likely asking this question because it’s an important part of planning your vaping budget. In the past, the main benefit of disposable e-cigarettes was that they were extremely convenient and easy to use, with a variety of flavors available – qualities that new smokers wanted. However, compared to other types of e-cigarettes, disposable e-cigarettes typically didn’t last as long and were therefore more expensive in the long run.
Today, disposable e-cigarettes have changed the way they last and have helped disposable e-cigarettes reach cost parity with refillable e-cigarettes. So, no matter which type of e-cigarette you use, you can expect to spend significantly less than you would on smoking – although planning your budget is still important.
So, how long do e-cigarettes last? In this guide, we’ll break it down for you. We’ll start with the disposable devices that many people use these days, and then finish by discussing how long refillable e-cigarettes last. Let’s dive in.
How long do disposable e-cigarettes last?
Disposable e-cigarettes typically last for several days. When the device runs out of e-liquid, you’ll need to replace it.
What does the number of puffs on a disposable e-cigarette mean?
When shopping for disposable e-cigarettes, the first thing you’ll notice is that each device has a number of puffs listed on its packaging. Here’s how to understand what the number of puffs on a disposable e-cigarette means.
The number of puffs listed on a disposable e-cigarette package is intended to provide a basis for comparison between this device and other disposable e-cigarettes.
Disposable e-cigarettes are not guaranteed to produce the number of puffs listed on the package and may produce up to that number of puffs under ideal conditions.
If you puff your vapor from a disposable vaporizer for more than half a second to one second at a time, the device will deliver significantly fewer puffs than the number listed on the package.
As you examine the different disposable vaporizers available, you’ll see that there’s usually a relationship between the capacity of the e-liquid and the number of puffs advertised. These are the longest-lasting disposable vaporizers
When you smoke a cigarette, you typically take around 10-15 puffs before putting it out. With that in mind, you can expect a disposable vaporizer to provide you with roughly the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes for every 200-300 puffs you take out of it – although again, it’s important to remember that a disposable vaporizer won’t usually produce the exact number of puffs stated on the packaging.
What do the e-liquid capacity and nicotine content of a disposable vaporizer mean?
While the number of puffs on a disposable vaporizer provides an easy way to compare it to other vaporizers, you may find it helpful to compare vaporizers based on their e-liquid content as different manufacturers may have different standards for measuring what constitutes a puff. On the other hand, the content of the e-liquid is always measured in a consistent manner.
You can also use the content of the e-liquid as a way to estimate how long a disposable e-cigarette will last.
A single cigarette contains about 1.5 mg of nicotine.
You can figure out how much nicotine is in an e-cigarette by multiplying the content of the e-liquid by the nicotine strength. An e-liquid with a nicotine strength of 50 mg/ml contains 1,250 mg of nicotine in total.
With these two numbers in mind, you can estimate how long an e-cigarette will last by dividing the total nicotine content by 1.5 mg, which is the approximate amount of nicotine in a cigarette. In this sense, an e-cigarette has the potential to provide the equivalent of multiple packs of cigarettes. You may find that the nicotine you get from vaping isn’t absorbed in exactly the same way as the nicotine you get from smoking, but this comparison is still a useful starting point.

A disposable vaporizer sits next to sliced peaches, mangoes, and watermelons against a pastel-colored background, begging the question of how long the flavor of a disposable vaporizer will last without losing its freshness, just like the vibrant fruits surrounding it.
How long does a pre-filled pod vaporizer last?
A pre-filled pod vaporizer will last until the battery stops holding a charge, which typically takes about a year. A pre-filled pod vaporizer will last a day or two before needing to be replaced.
A pre-filled pod system differs from a disposable vaporizer in that only the pre-filled pods—which contain the device’s e-liquid—are disposable. The device itself is rechargeable and reusable. Pre-filled pods typically hold about 2ml of e-liquid, although the pods are noticeably more generous in capacity
If your refillable vaporizer has a built-in battery, you can expect its lifespan to be similar to that of a pod system as described above — up to about a year — because the battery’s ability to hold a charge is the primary factor that determines how long the device will last.
There is one important difference, however, which tends to result in larger rechargeable vaporizers lasting longer than smaller ones: the lifespan of a lithium-ion battery depends mostly on how often you charge and discharge it. A higher-capacity battery will last longer before needing to be recharged, and refillable vaporizers tend to have larger batteries than pre-filled pod systems.
Since you probably won’t need to recharge a refillable device as often as a pre-filled pod system, it can last longer. Some of the best vaporizers on the market are refillable.
It’s also important to note that not all refillable vaporizers have built-in batteries. This feature can significantly extend the life of the device because when the battery capacity decreases to the point that the device becomes unusable, you can simply recycle the battery and replace it with a new one. This is not possible with vaporizers that have built-in batteries.
If the battery is a permanent part of the device, you will have to replace the entire device when the battery reaches the end of its life. On the other hand, a vaporizer with a removable battery can last for several years if you take care of it.
Did you know that some refillable vaporizers have special features that enhance their durability and can allow them to last longer? To protect against ingress, the device can withstand immersion in water up to a depth of one meter for at least 30 minutes, and dust cannot penetrate the device at all.
