Disposable vapes are a fantastic choice for those new to vaping or looking for a simpler device to take with you on nights out, to festivals and when travelling. But how do you know when your disposable vape is finished or needs to be replaced soon?
We share the signs to look out for that show you need to buy a fresh disposable!

When Do You Need to Replace a Disposable Vape?
- When no vapour is produced after drawing on the vape.
- When the vapour becomes thinner and tasteless.
- When the vape doesn’t warm up when you draw.
- When the vape tastes bad, particularly burnt or metallic.
The Vape Has a Burnt Taste
Getting a burnt or charred taste when you use your vape? That means you’re out of vape juice. The vape battery may still work despite you finishing the E-Liquid tank, meaning that the kit is still powered and the atomizer is still getting hot, even though there’s no juice left. Instead, it will heat the wick, and if this is made from cotton, it will make a nasty burning taste. Disposable vapes can’t be refilled, so even if the power is still working, you will need to replace the whole kit to get more vape juice.The Vape Has a Metallic Flavour
If the wick in your vape kit is made from mesh or metal, then you’ll likely taste a metallic flavour when you puff if your E-Liquid is empty.Less Vapour or Less Flavour From The Disposable
As your disposable vape begins to run out of E-Liquid, it will start to produce less vapour, which will have less flavour. The puffs will be less satisfying, with smaller clouds that are mostly tasteless. This means it’s time to buy a new disposable vape to get a more satisfying flavour and vapour.
