Do you feel guilty when you toss out a disposable vape pen? Yes? Well, rightly so, there are environmental implications of continuously throwing away your disposable vape pen! We have all become a lot more eco-conscious in other areas of our life – never leaving home without a reusable shopping bag or our water bottle, switching to refillable cleaning products – so why should it be any different with how we choose to vape CBD? Luckily, there are more sustainable options for vaping out there – a reusable, long-lasting CBD vape pen – and, not only is it better for the environment, but you will ultimately save money in the long run and enjoy a better vaping experience. A win, win, win!
I will explain to you in this article, why it’s best to make the switch from a disposable vape pen device to a reusable vape pen. (NB. When I am talking about a reusable vape pen – this is a rechargeable vape pen battery on to which you screw in a CBD vape cartridge.)
1) Better for the environment
As mentioned, disposable vape pens cannot be used more than once and so must be thrown out once you have finished the CBD vape oil in the vape pen – and in the regular garbage disposal at that as they are not recyclable! Whereas, with a reusable pen, you can continuously recharge your battery to keep the battery juices going and, once you have finished with your CBD vape oil cartridge or you just fancy a different vape flavour mid cartridge, you can unscrew and replace with a new CBD vape cartridge. So limited waste and long-lasting battery life!
2) You have more Choice
With a reusable vape pen, you have much more choice as to what type of CBD you vape – be it CBD strength (high concentration CBD vape oils vs. lower concentration CBD e liquids) or flavours (super lemon haze vs. sour diesel) – you are not limited by the flavour or strength you get with your disposable pen, and instead are able to choose any CBD vape cartridge you like provided that is compatible with your vape pen. Whatsmore, you don’t have to wait until the end of the cartridge to try something new – you can switch between flavours and strengths depending on your mood whenever you like!
3) You’ll save money
Whilst the upfront cost of a reusable pen is higher than a disposable pen – in the long run, you will save money. 1) You do not need to buy several different vape pens to try a different strength or flavour 2) the cost of a new CBD cartridge is a lot cheaper than having to buy a new disposable vape pen each time you are finished. Moreover, the upfront costs of a good reusable vape pen are not even significantly more than a disposable device. There are a lot of reasonably-priced reusable vape pens available in the market so have a look online and compare features (e.g. battery capacity, pre-heat functionality, variable voltage etc.) vs. price. I’ve recently been using Paso’s 510 thread vape pen which is very reasonably priced (around £20) and comes with most (if not all) the functionality I need!
4) You’ll have a better vape experience
Reusable vape pens come with a lot more functionality and features than disposable vape pens. With a disposable, you are good to go once you have purchased – you either hit the button on or begin drawing from the pen to fire it up. However, reusable vape pens come with more functionality – some have variable voltage meaning you can pick the vaping experience you prefer (more vape cloud vs. less) or the setting that best suits the type of CBD you are smoking – CBD e liquid vs. CBD vape oil. Moreover, some have pre-heat functionality (particularly important when vaping CBD vape oil) allowing you to warm up cold CBD vape oils prior to vaping so that they vape correctly and taste better. Both of these features mean that your vaping experience will be a lot cleaner, smooth and more effective than what you’d have with a grab-and-go disposable device.
Hopefully, it has become clear from the above why I think reusable vape pens are so much better than disposable vape pens – so remember – whilst they may be a little bit more expensive upfront it is a worthwhile investment – you’re helping the planet, you’ll have better vaping experience and you are going to use the device for years to come!
