Understanding Disposable Vapes vs. Refillable Systems: Which Is Right for You?
When it comes to choosing a vape device, the first question most users face is: disposable or refillable? Whether you're new to vaping or looking to switch up your setup, understanding the differences between these two systems is key to finding the right fit for your lifestyle. In this guide, we’ll break down the pros and cons of each and help you decide which option makes the most sense for you.
What Are Disposable Vapes?
Disposable vapes are single-use, pre-filled vape devices that come ready to use right out of the box. Once the battery or e-liquid runs out, the entire unit is discarded. They’ve exploded in popularity thanks to their convenience, portability, and ease of use—perfect for beginners or anyone on the go.
Advantages of Disposable Vapes
No setup or maintenance required – just open and vape.
Ultra-portable – slim and pocket-friendly designs.
Great for travel or occasional use.
Pre-filled with nicotine salt e-liquid for fast, smooth satisfaction.
Drawbacks of Disposable Vapes
Not rechargeable or refillable – once it’s done, it’s done.
Higher cost over time compared to refillable systems.
Less control over things like airflow, flavor customization, or nicotine strength.
At VGOD, our disposable pod options are designed to give you that quick, satisfying hit of premium SaltNic flavor in a device that fits seamlessly into your day.
What Are Refillable Vape Systems?
Refillable systems—also called open systems—are devices you can fill with your choice of e-liquid. Most use replaceable pods or tanks and are rechargeable, giving users more control over their experience.
VGOD offers one premium refillable pod system, engineered for performance and paired perfectly with our SaltNic and Freebase e-liquids.
Advantages of Refillable Systems
Cost-effective over time – buy e-liquid, not full devices.
More flavor and nicotine customization.
Rechargeable – better for frequent users.
Better vapor production and advanced features for more experienced vapers.
Drawbacks of Refillable Systems
Requires basic upkeep – charging, refilling, occasional coil changes.
Higher learning curve for beginners.
Larger form factor than some disposable options.

Flavor Variety & Experience
One of the biggest factors that influence your choice? Flavor. VGOD’s lineup of SaltNic e-liquids offers bold, satisfying blends for both systems.
Whether you’re looking for the clean finish of Cubano, the icy blast of Lush Ice, or the tropical rush of Mango Bomb, we’ve got flavors that work beautifully across device types.
Nicotine Strength & Performance
Disposable vapes are typically pre-filled with SaltNic e-liquids, known for delivering fast-acting, smooth nicotine at higher strengths (often 25mg–50mg).
Refillable systems allow you to experiment with:
Lower or higher nicotine strengths
Freebase or SaltNic formulas
PG/VG ratios to customize vapor and throat hit
If you're wondering things like "what's the difference between PG/VG + Salt nic?", the short answer is:
PG (propylene glycol) = stronger throat hit, better flavor carry
VG (vegetable glycerin) = smoother inhale, more vapor SaltNic liquids are often balanced 50/50 PG/VG for a smooth and satisfying experience in low-power devices.
