• Draw-activated, button-free design – pick-up and use immediately
• Completely sealed device, cannot be disassembled, preventing leakages
• Closed pod system, nonrefillable tank – no risk of improperly filling or reinstalling
• Like other vape kits, LUCKEE ones consist of a few core components; a battery, a tank, and a coil

A disposable vape cart is a self-contained, single-use module filled with vaping juice that attaches to a vaporizer or vape pen. Unlike refillable cartridges, these are meant to be disposed of after the e-liquid is depleted.

The lifespan of a disposable vape cart can vary depending on usage habits and the capacity of the cart itself. On average, they can last anywhere from a few days to a week for intermittent users.

Disposable vape carts are not designed to be refilled, as they are sealed units. Attempting to refill can lead to leaks, diminish performance, and invalidate product warranties.

Vaping with disposable carts can be considered safer than smoking traditional cigarettes but be aware of the quality of the product. Always choose reputable brands and stores to ensure safety standards are met.

You will know your vape cart is empty when the vapor produced decreases significantly or the flavor changes. Most devices also have an indicator when the e-liquid is running low.

There is no single answer to the question of how long nicotine stays in the body, from the time it is ingested into the body to the time it is eventually metabolized out of the body. The half-life of nicotine, the time it takes for the concentration of nicotine in the body to be reduced by half, is about 2 hours. However, the metabolism of nicotine in the body produces a number of metabolites, particularly cotinine, which remain in the body much longer than nicotine. Cotinine can last from 1 to 3 days in the body, sometimes even longer.

The duration of nicotine and its cotinine levels varies in different tests. In a blood test, traces of cotinine can be consistently detected for up to 3 days; in a urine test, it can be detected for up to 7 days; and in a hair test, it can even be detected for up to 90 days. However, these figures are test results in extreme cases. For the average vape user, if you only use nicotine vape pens occasionally, your body will clear the vast majority of nicotine residue in about 3 to 5 days.

This may be of more interest to you. While disposable vapes may have nicotine, regular cigarettes are far more damaging to the body system. Traditional cigarettes produce large amounts of tar and other harmful substances during the combustion process, which can cause long-term inhibition of liver function and make nicotine metabolism less efficient.

In contrast, the vapor produced by disposable vapes contains no combustion products and causes less interference with the body’s metabolic system. Under the premise of the same nicotine intake, people who use disposable vapes usually metabolize nicotine faster and have a shorter residence time in the body. This is a side effect of the fact that vapes have an advantage in reducing nicotine residue.

Nicotine is addictive, but it doesn’t stay in the body as long as people think. In fact, the body metabolizes nicotine quite quickly. It’s the harmful substances in combustible cigarettes that your body simply can’t get rid of that are more worrisome, not the controlled levels of nicotine in disposable vapes.

If you’re switching from smoking to vaping to reduce your risk, you’ve chosen the right path. By picking the nicotine strength wisely, controlling the frequency of use, and pairing it with healthy habits, your body will soon be free of the effects of nicotine. Disposable vapes, as an alternative, do have advantages in reducing nicotine residue and lowering the harms of smoking, and deserve more attention and recognition.

VG (Vegetable Glycerine) and PG (Propylene Glycol) are the main ingredients of e liquid. VG and PG make up the ‘base’ of a vape juice (e-liquid). Different flavourings are then added to the base to give each e-liquid brand its own distinctive taste. 

Both vegetable glycerine (VG) and propylene glycol (PG) are used in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. VG and PG are food-grade compounds, widely considered safe for human consumption. 

The VG/PG balance of an e-liquid completely changes the vaping experience. Depending on the amount of vegetable glycerine and/or propylene glycol in your vape juice, you’ll get a totally different taste, texture, throat hit and vapour thickness. 

What is VG?

Vegetable Glycerin (VG) is a non-toxic compound derived from vegetable fats like coconut oil and soy oil. It’s not completely flavourless (it’s slightly sweet) but it carries other flavours reasonably well.

Vegetable glycerin gives e-liquid vapour its thickness. High-VG e liquids give off a good cloud and have a smoother throat hit. They’re a natural choice for sub-ohm devices. If you buy an e liquid that promises “creaminess”, for instance a custard or cake flavour, it’s most likely going to have a high VG (70VG or higher).

The downside is that high-VG e-liquids tend to clog your device and burn through coils faster. Also, because vegetable glycerin is a thick liquid, it takes longer to soak into your vape coil. Vegetable glycerin’s sweet taste can potentially ‘crowd out’ subtler flavours, but nowadays most high-quality manufacturers adjust their recipes to allow for this.

You can vape 100% VG e juice, but for new vapers we usually recommend a VG/PG blend.

What is PG?

PG, or Propylene Glycol (PG), is a food additive (E1520 – see food.gov.uk). It’s typically used in processed foods like soft drinks and ice creams. It’s also used as a pharmaceutical ingredient in certain medicines and eye drops.

Propylene Glycol (PG) carries most of the flavour and throat hit in an e liquid. If you’re trying to quit smoking and you’re new to vaping, then tobacco-flavoured e-liquids with a high PG ratio are a good starting point. You’ll get the throat hit you’ve come to expect from a cigarette and there’s no sweetness to it, so you’ll get a much sharper tobacco flavour (…if that’s what you’re after).

As a rule, the ‘sharp’ flavoured e-liquids (flavours like cider and tobacco) will have a high PG content. Propylene Glycol has no taste, and it’s a thinner liquid, so high PG e-liquids can hold flavour better than high VG liquids. the downside is that it produces less vapour, which can impact flavour transmission.

Some people are sensitive to propylene glycol (source: bmj.com). If you find that vaping a high PG e liquid is uncomfortable for you, our recommendation is to switch to a 100% VG alternative.

All e liquids contain a VG/PG base and flavourings, but e liquids can also contain a fourth ingredient: nicotine. Nicotine is highly addictive (vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol are not addictive).

It varies by device. Most disposable vapes provide anywhere from 600 to 30,000 puffs. For example, the LUCKEE IC40000 offers up to 40,000 puffs thanks to its extra-large e-liquid capacity.

A blinking light often signals a low battery or an internal issue. Try charging if it’s a rechargeable model. If not, it’s time for a new disposable vape.

If airflow is blocked, try gently blowing through the mouthpiece or tapping the disposable vape to clear residue. If the problem persists, your device is likely near the end of its lifespan.

For many travelers who vape, a common concern is whether you can fly with a disposable vape. The answer is yes, you can! Just remember a few important guidelines to ensure your trip is smooth and hassle-free.

Disposable vapes are permitted on airplanes, but only if they’re stored in your carry-on or personal bag—not in checked luggage. This is because every disposable vape contains a lithium-ion battery, which airlines and the TSA require you to keep in the cabin.

The Tobacco Product Directive (TPD) is a European regulation introduced in 2014, as part of the fight against smoking. Despite strong opposition, initially from vapers’ associations, Directive 2014/40/EU equates electronic cigarettes and e-liquids with tobacco products. It thus regulates the manufacture and trade of vaping products.

Coils, also called atomisers or coil heads, are a vital component of any e-cigarette device. The ‘mod’, or battery component of your e-cigarette sends an electric current through the coil which heats the wire which in turn heats the e-liquid in your tank or pod, turning it into vapour that you inhale. Think of it like an element in a kettle for heating water.

The coil really refers to the conductive wire that carries the electric current from the battery and was traditionally shaped like a spiral coil to allow the current to contact the wicking material, usually cotton, that is in contact with the wire. These days, coils come in many different forms including mesh, and multiple coil formations. Coils can also come in a variety of materials including stainless steel, kanthal wire, ceramic and titanium. These all produce a different quality of vape experience, affecting the flavour and vapour produced.

All coils specify their electrical resistance in ‘ohms’. Standard resistance coils usually range from 1.0 ohms to 3.0ohms. Coils with a resistance below 1.0ohms are known as ‘sub-ohm’ coils and can range from 0.9ohms to 0.1ohms and lower.

A curious quirk of physics means that higher resistance coils require a lower power output from the battery, while low resistance, or sub-ohm, coils require a higher output from the battery. The result is small-to- moderate vapour from a high-resistance coil and low-powered device and great clouds of vapour from sub- ohm coils and more powerful devices. Knowing which style of vaping your e cigarette device is built for should give you a quick idea of the type of resistance, and the number of displayed ohms, your new or replacement coil should carry.

Depending upon the frequency with which you vape, coils should be replaced when they fail to produce the required flavour or vapour. A spent coil might begin to taste a bit strange or stop producing vapour. How long a coil lasts can depend upon the materials it’s made from, the device – high or low powered – it is used with, and how frequently it is ‘fired’, or vaped. Heavy, sub-ohm users may need to replace a coil every week, while moderate to light users may only need to change a coil, or prebuilt pod, every 1-4 weeks.

The type of liquid you use with the coil can also affect its lifespan. High-VG e-liquids of the sort used for sub- ohm vaping tend to be quite thick and can gum up coils with heavy use necessitating frequent replacements.
