Nexa N20000
Key Features:
- Huge e-liquid supply compared to most disposable vapes
- Built-in smart display shows the device’s current status at a glance
- Operates at up to 25 watts to produce enormous clouds
Having trouble finding your favorite disposable vape? Some brands are in short supply these days, but the people at Nexa have stepped up to fill in the void. The Nexa N20000 comes pre-filled with 20 ml of vape juice and lasts up to 20,000 puffs. It also has an enormous flavor selection, so it’ll be quite a while before you run out of new options to try. The N20000 has two power levels available and allows you to switch between single-coil and dual-coil modes by pressing a button.
Rodman Disposable Vape
Key Features:
- Slim and very discreet
- Built-in smart display shows the status of the battery and e-liquid supply
- 16 ml e-liquid supply
We’re huge fans of the Rodman vape, which NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman created in a collaboration with famed vape brand Aloha Sun. You can see the influence of the islands in the hibiscus outline on the side of the device and in the flavor selection, which includes several tropical-inspired options. The Rodman vape is slim and discreet, and it has a small built-in display that shows the device’s battery charge level and remaining e-liquid supply.
Bodega Bar
Key Features:
- Probably the most affordable disposable vape on the market
- Creative flavor selection with options you haven’t seen elsewhere
- 17 ml e-liquid supply
The Bodega Bar is probably the best-kept secret in all of vaping. Costing just $5.95 at the time of writing and coming pre-filled with 17 ml of vape juice, this is a complete vaping device that’s ready to go right out of the box and costs about the same as a typical bottle of vape juice. With that kind of value, we can predict that the Bodega Bar won’t be a secret for much longer. We also love the Bodega Bar’s extremely creative flavor selection, which includes some unusual options like Banana Icy Runtz and Watermelon Bubblegum Gelato.
Fryd Disposable Vape
Key Features:
- Built-in smart display shows the status of the battery and e-liquid supply
- Unique color gradient to signify each of the 10 available flavors
- 17 ml e-liquid supply
With a price of just $9.99 at the time of writing, the Fryd disposable vape is another device that’s surprisingly affordable for the amount of e-liquid it contains – 17 ml, which is just as much as a lot of pricier devices. Although the Fryd vape is very colorful, it’s not designed in a way that’ll draw unwanted attention because the built-in smart display is very small and doesn’t have bright animations like the screens on many disposable vapes these days. We also love the flavor selection, which includes a wide range of tasty options like Peach Ice, Strawberry Banana and more.
Voopoo Argus A
Key Features:
- Dual-screen design gives the device a very unique look
- Adjustable power with a maximum output of 30 watts
- Full-sized coil in a tiny pod allows flavor quality similar to that of a full-sized vape mod
The Voopoo Argus A provides an incredible amount of power in a tiny and pocketable package and basically puts the power of a full-sized vape mod in the palm of your hand. It also has a look that’s eye catching and completely unique. The dual-screen design allows the Argus A to display an incredible amount of information at a glance, and the fact that the screens are so large makes them extremely easy to read. With fully adjustable output up to a maximum of 30 watts, you can get some impressively huge clouds out of this tiny device.
Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini
Key Features:
- Extremely easy to use
- Compatible with all XROS pods
- Airflow slider allows you to enjoy a tighter or looser hit
If you’re ready to step up from disposables to a refillable vape and don’t want the experience to be too complicated, you’re going to be a big fan of the Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini. Compatible with all Vaporesso XROS pods, the XROS 4 Mini is a simple puff-activated vape that you can charge, fill and use without worrying about settings and other complications. The only thing on the device that you can manipulate is the airflow slider, which you can move for a tighter or looser draw.
Geekvape Wenax Q Ultra
Key Features:
- Responsive touch-screen interface makes changing settings incredibly easy
- High-capacity battery with a rating of 1,300 mAh
- Three selectable screen themes add an extra element of style
If you like the 30-watt power range of the SMOK Novo 5 but would like to try something with a more modern interface, there’s nothing more modern than the just-released Geekvape Wenax Q Ultra. Featuring a touch screen that consumes the device’s entire front panel, the Wenax Q Ultra recognizes both swipes and taps and is as easy to use as your smartphone.
Geekvape H45 (Aegis Hero 2)
Key Features:
- Very small and pocketable for a device that can operate at up to 45 watts
- Airflow control integrated directly into the mouthpiece for easy adjustments
- Enormous color selection includes something for any taste
The Geekvape H45 is a full-fledged pod mod with plenty of battery capacity, a 45-watt power range and lots of e-liquid storage – and yet, it’s small enough to fit comfortably in your fist. Although it’s powerful enough to provide a satisfying direct-to-lung hit, the Geekvape H45 has adjustable airflow and works equally well in mouth-to-lung vaping scenarios. We like this device’s padded leather hand grip, and we especially love the huge color selection.
SMOK RPM 5
Key Features:
- Impressive power in a device shaped like a traditional vape pen
- 2,000 mAh of battery capacity and maximum power of 80 watts
- Padded grip for a secure and comfortable hand feel
With the SMOK RPM 5, we’re beginning to step up to full-fledged vape mods with real power. Outfitted with a 2,000 mAh battery, the RPM 5 operates at up to 80 watts and is designed to deliver a satisfying direct-to-lung hit with huge cloud production. You’ll love the enormous 6.5 ml pod, which holds so much vape juice that you’ll be able to vape for hours between refills. You’ll also love the cylindrical shape, which makes the device feel surprisingly small for the amount of power it offers.
Geekvape Digi Max
Key Features:
- Touch screen with ultra-sharp 2K resolution and support for both taps and swipes
- Battery capacity of 3,000 mAh is much higher than average for such a small device
- Power adjustable up to a maximum of 80 watts
If you like the touch interface of the Wenax Q Ultra described above but want something with a bit more power, the Geekvape Digi Max is exactly the vape you’re looking for. Sporting an excellent battery capacity of 3,000 mAh, the Digi Max operates at up to 80 watts but is surprisingly slim and light for such a powerful device. As impressive as this device’s technical specs are, though, the screen is really the centerpiece of the Digi Max. It supports both taps and swipes, allowing you to navigate through the menu system with ease. The most impressive thing, though, is the screen’s incredible 2K resolution. You’ve never seen such a sharp screen on a vaping device, and the Geekvape Digi Max is certain to elevate the design standards for the entire industry.
SMOK X-Priv Plus
Key Features:
- Oversized side fire bar allows you to vape just by squeezing the device
- Touch-sensitive front panel allows for quick wattage adjustments
- Uses two removable 18650 batteries and has a maximum power of 225 watts
The SMOK X-Priv Plus is the latest flagship vape mod from SMOK, the company that’s long been the world’s most popular maker of refillable vapes. Using two removable 18650 batteries (not included), the X-Priv Plus operates at up to 225 watts and will have no trouble driving any tank or coil that you’d like to connect to it – even if you prefer to build your own coils. If you don’t need 225 watts of power, that’s okay – you’ll still enjoy incredible battery life. The X-Priv Plus is easily the most stylish vape mod that you can buy today, and the replaceable magnetic battery panel allows you to customize it and truly make it your own.
