Do phrases like “big puffs” and “6000 puffs” on vape products leave you scratching your head? If so, you’re not alone – many people, including seasoned vapers, can wonder what a big puff vape actually is. Let’s break down what “puff count” means in terms of vaping. Simply put, a vape puff refers to a single inhalation from an e-cigarette or vape device. Puff counts are often used to estimate how long a vape product might last, but keep in mind that the actual number of puffs you’ll get depends on several factors, including:
- The device itself
- How you vape
- The type of e-liquid used.
In the UK, strict regulations are in place to ensure the safety of vaping products. These regulations limit the amount of e-liquid that disposable vape devices, as well as pods and tanks, can hold1. If you’re looking for a larger capacity option that is compliant, consider devices like the IVG Pro 12 or the Lost Mary BM6000. The IVG Pro pod kits can hold up to 12ml of vape liquid and the BM6000, 10ml. The Elf Bar Dual 10K is also a recent addition to the Big Puff family, and is proving to be a popular choice of refill pod kit that provides extended usage. Although the refills are larger than the 2ml pod allowance, these devices are still legal as the pods themselves are 2ml and the refill containers are separate from the e-cigarette itself until they are clipped into place.
Each of these big puff count vapes is an innovative, legal big puff choice.
Refillable kits, such as the VLTZ flex Pro, can also legitimately make the claim they provide far beyond 600 puffs. I’ll expand on this further in this article.
But for now, I'll concentrate on explaining the importance of understanding puff counts and legal limits, as it will help you choose responsible and compliant products. With this in mind, let's delve deeper into the world of vape puff counts.
How Accurate Are Puff Counts?
Puff counts can be a useful starting point for understanding how long a vape product might last, especially for those new to vaping. For example, knowing that disposable vapes in the UK are generally limited to around 600 puffs can offer a basic guideline. However, it’s important to remember that not every puff is created equal. In a recent study about puff counts, one vaper noted:
“With a lot of these vapes, it gives a very inconsistent "puff". There's no constant set interval between each consecutive puff. Like 5 puffs can be equal to one puff sometimes... it's impossible to quantify how much one puff means.” – ID11, male, age 202.
The study also highlights that your individual vaping habits will have the biggest impact on your experience:
- Device Type: Disposable vapes, with their limited e-liquid capacity, offer the least flexibility. Vape pod kits with replaceable pods offer more control. For the most customizable experience, refillable pods let you replenish vape juice as needed.
- Your Vaping Style: How deeply you inhale, how long your puffs are, and the frequency of vaping throughout the day all matter more than a single puff count number.
- Nicotine Strengths and E-liquid Flavors: These can influence how often and how much you vape, making puff counts even less reliable.
Puff counts can be helpful, but understanding your own vaping preferences is crucial for choosing the products that best suit your needs.
Disposable Big Puff Vapes
600 Puff disposable vapes used to offer undeniable convenience and ease of use, which explains their massive popularity. However, disposable, non rechargeable vapes are now banned. If retailers are selling single-use vapes, big puff or otherwise, they are breaking the law. These types of vapes are not only illegal but they could very well be dangerous and contain harmful substances. You should always purchase your vaopes from reputable retailers such as Totally Wicked.
For those who miss disposables, Totally Wicked has a fantastic range of disposable alternatives in the flavours you love that provide an extended number of puffs.
Legal Big Puff Vapes
We have a great collection of legal big puff vapes, in different size categories:
Refillable Big Puff Vapes
If you're looking for a longer-lasting, customizable vaping experience that aligns with regulations, refillable pods or containers offer the perfect solution. Unlike single use vapes, which were limited to 2ml of e-liquid before needing to be disposed of, refillable pods let you replenish that same amount multiple times. This means extended usage and the freedom to explore your favourite VLTZ bar salts flavours.
For puffs up to 4000 from a legal big puff device, then the VLTZ-X Spin 4 in 1 vape is a practical option. This pod kit holds four 2ml pods with each pod providing roughly 1000 puffs. Plus the battery is rechargeable, adding to the long term value of this kit.
To get the most out of your refillable pods, consider the VLTZ Flex Pro Box Refillable kit. This device features a rechargeable battery for consistent flavour delivery, and a sleek, stylish design. Its refillable pods comply with legal limits by holding 2ml of e-liquid and can be refilled up to 10 times (using two bottles of 10ml VLTZ e-liquid) before needing to be replaced. This offers the equivalent usage of up to 10 disposable vapes. In fact, this device can provide over 9000 puffs when you periodically change the refillable pods. Another added benefit is the devise itself, due to its rechargeable design, you can effectively get unlimited puffs. Most importantly, the flavours are absolutely second to none.
Does A Bigger Battery Vape Mean More Puffs?
When it comes to getting the most out of your vaping experience, battery size plays a significant role. A larger battery generally extends the time between charges, allowing for more puffs per session. While devices with smaller batteries might require more frequent recharges, they often have advantages.
For example, smaller batteries are integral to compact pod-based vapes, offering portability for on-the-go use. Moreover, refillable pod systems present a sensible alternative to disposables in terms of puff count. Instead of replacing the entire device, you simply replace the pod. This means you can enjoy the equivalent puff count of multiple disposables over time, significantly reducing waste and long-term costs.
Regardless of the initial battery size, prioritize safety by choosing reputable devices and regulated e-liquids for the best possible experience.
The VLTZ Flex Pro Bar prioritizes battery power, ensuring you get the great vaping experience you deserve. It also has regulated power output, which means you continue to get great vape flavour as the battery charge runs down. Plus, with its replaceable pod system, you can effectively enjoy unlimited puffs from the device. Simply replace the pod once it reaches the end of its lifespan, and you’re ready to continue vaping.
Illegal Big Puff Vapes And Legal Alternatives
Many illegal e-cigs seized by Trading Standards teams violate crucial regulations designed to protect consumers. These violations often include improper labelling, illegal e-liquid podcapacities (exceeding 2ml), and dangerously high nicotine levels3. It’s important to be aware of these risks when choosing a vaping product.
Legal 2400 + Puff Pre-filled Pod Vapes
To ensure your safety and compliance with regulations, consider legal “4-in-1” pod kits approved by the MHRA (Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency). Each pod kit, like the VLTZ-X Spin, offers up to 2400 puffs with the pods combined.
These types of devices offer the convenience of multiple pre-filled pods (each holding the legal 2ml pod limit) within a single device, giving you extended usage without the risks of illegal products. Here are some popular options:
- VLTZ- X Spin 4 in 1: Provides up to 4000 puffs, much higher than most 4 in 1 vape competitors in this market. Includes a 650mAh rechargeable battery – a great long term pod kit investment.
- SKE Crystal 4-in-1: This stylish device features a larger, more powerful battery and a unique rotating pod system for convenient flavour selection.
- IVG 2400 4 in 1: This powerful option boasts the largest battery capacity of the three, perfect for vapers who prioritize extended usage. Its draw-activated design offers effortless vaping.
- Lost Mary BM6000: The Lost Mary BM6000 offers a convenient vaping experience. Featuring a 10ml e-liquid attachment and prefilled 2ml pod, this device provides up to 6000 puffs before the refill container needs to be replaced.
- Lost Mary BM600: Just like the original disposable, the BM600 provides all the Elf Bar flavours you enjoy, but now in a rechargeable vape and with a bigger puff count than before thanks to the replaceable pods.
