Weak Hits with a Disposable Vape? Here’s How to Fix It

Last Updated on February 13, 2023 by Team Spinfuel

Over the past year or so, the market for disposable vapes has absolutely exploded. The latest disposable e-cigarettes are cheaper than ever, and they’re more satisfying than ever. Most importantly, they’re available in more flavors than ever. That’s allowed disposable vapes to essentially take over the market for people who might have otherwise bought vaping devices with pre-filled pods or cartridges. While the US flavored pod ban only allows the makers of pod-based devices to offer refill pods in tobacco and menthol flavors, disposable vapes are available in every flavor you can imagine because they’re all using synthetic nicotine – which, for now, isn’t regulated by the FDA – instead of tobacco-derived nicotine.

Disposables

If you’re using disposable vapes, though, you don’t care about the convoluted regulatory issues surrounding the vaping industry – you just want to get your fix in the quickest and most convenient way possible without spending your days refilling tanks and troubleshooting problems. That’s why it’s a particularly big downer when a disposable vape gives you weak hits. 

If you’re having an unsatisfying experience with a disposable vape, we’ve got the answer for you. In some cases, there are perfectly legitimate – and fixable – reasons why you might get weak hits with a disposable vape. In other cases, it could be that the disposable e-cigarette you’re using isn’t the right one for your needs. In this article, we’ll discuss all of those possibilities and help you get the problem fixed.

Get a Bigger and More Satisfying Disposable Vape

One of the most important things to know about vaping hardware is that the size of a device often has a strong correlation with how satisfying the device is to use. A bigger disposable vape has a larger battery, which allows for more stable power delivery. A larger device also has a bigger heating coil, so it’ll produce bigger and more satisfying clouds. 

Today’s more powerful disposable vapes such as the Kangvape Onee Max are completely different from the devices you may have used in the past. The Onee Max has a built-in 1,000 mAh battery and comes pre-filled with 18.5 ml of vape juice. All told, it’ll deliver around 5,000 puffs before you’ll need to replace it – and yet, it’s still extremely small and pocketable. A larger disposable vape like the Onee Max will give you the same level of satisfaction that you’d get with a refillable vape pen or pod system while still coming in a convenient disposable package.

Get a Disposable Vape with a Higher Nicotine Strength

Another important thing to know about disposable vapes is that they often come in multiple nicotine strengths. The available strengths depend on how vaping products are regulated where you live. In the United States, for instance, the two most common nicotine strengths for disposable vapes are 25 mg/ml and 50 mg/ml. The lower nicotine strength will most likely be appropriate for you if you’re already a full-time vaper because your nicotine needs are probably not as high as those of a smoker. If you’re still smoking and are trying to switch to vaping, though, you’ll probably be happier with the higher nicotine strength because that’ll give your device roughly the same nicotine delivery as a cigarette.

But if you’re uncomfortable vaping a highly psychoactive medium, try a hemp-derived delta 8 vape product. But what is delta 8, and how does it differ from delta 9 THC found in cannabis? A delta 8 distillate is a cannabinoid (cannabis compound) naturally found in hemp plants. As compared to delta 9 THC, delta 8 is less potent. It’s federally legal for public purchase and use under the Farm Bill or the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018. 

The most reputable suppliers of delta 8 vape products are third-party lab tested for excellent quality and compliance with regulatory standards. Hence, they don’t have harsh solvents, chemicals, and other compounds harmful to health. You can use a disposable vape intended for delta 8 to achieve the ultimate vaping experience you desire without the weak hits. 

Try a Different Flavor

When you’ve shopped for disposable vapes, you’ve probably noticed the fact that they’re available in dozens of different flavors. What you might not have considered, though, is that choosing a flavor when you buy a disposable e-cigarette isn’t just a matter of pleasing your palate. A savory flavor like tobacco or coffee is more likely to give you a strong throat hit, and throat hit is a factor that can make the experience of vaping feel more satisfying for many people. Sweet flavors, on the other hand, tend not to produce quite as much throat hit. In particular, the fruit-and-ice flavors that are very popular with many vapers these days are weak in the area of throat hit because of the menthol’s cooling effect. 

With those things in mind, using a different flavor can make your vaping experience feel more satisfying even if the nicotine strength you’re using is the same.

Block Your Disposable Vape’s Intake Vent when Inhaling

If you examine a disposable vape, you’ll probably find that it has an air intake vent on the bottom or on the side. What you may not know, though, is that you can actually manipulate the warmth and intensity of the vapor by partially blocking the airflow vent with your finger. Some disposable vapes even have adjustable airflow vents that allow you to achieve the same effect simply by moving a dial or tab. Try using your disposable vape with your finger placed lightly over the airflow vent. It’ll make the vapor slightly warmer and more intense, and you may appreciate that effect.

Wait a Little Longer Between Puffs

In most disposable vapes, the e-liquid is stored in a soft wick wrapped around the atomizer coil. When you inhale, the coil vaporizes the e-liquid held in the inner portion of the wick, leaving that part of the wick dry. It takes a moment for the e-liquid to redistribute itself throughout the wick. If you vape again before the wick has sufficient time to refresh itself, you’ll get a weak hit. When you use a disposable vape, the best way to ensure that you’ll enjoy a satisfying hit every time is by waiting several seconds for the wick to refresh itself after each puff.

If You’re Using a Rechargeable Disposable Vape, Charge the Battery

Does your disposable vape have a USB port Vaping & Battery Safety: The Quick Guide for Newbiest on the side or on the bottom? If it does, your device has a rechargeable battery. That’s common with some recent disposable vapes because those devices have so much e-liquid that it’s impossible to exhaust the supply of vape juice on a single battery charge. In that case, you’ll need to recharge the battery by connecting the device to your computer when you start to get weak hits. When the indicator light on your disposable vape turns off or changes color, the device is fully charged and ready for more vaping.

Wrapping Up

Fix weak hits by applying the tips above, such as using disposable vapes and taking your time vaping by waiting between puffs. That way, you can enjoy every hit and benefit from the pleasurable effects of vaping. Moreover, don’t hesitate to try new products, like delta 8 THC, to help improve your overall vaping experience alone after a busy work day or with your vape friends.
