Every time you walk into a smoke shop or vape shop you usually see both disposable and refillable vapes (more commonly knows as vape mods or mods). They're both vapes but they're different in so many ways.
We'll be discussing the main differences between disposables and mods in this article and by the end you'll be able to know which vape is the right one for you!
#1: Disposable Vapes
Disposable vapes come in many shapes and sizes, nowadays some are even rechargeable with a charging port attached to the bottom (usually a USB-C Port).
As the name suggests after the initial vape juice or e-juice runs out and the battery dies out these little bundles of smoke go right to the trash can never to be seen or heard from again.
Pros:
They have a wide range of flavors
The are easy to use (just inhale)
Portable
Not Expensive
Cons:
Their flavors are set and cannot be changed
Fragile designs
No indicator of when it's empty until the last hit
Prone to burning the coil when charging
#2: Refillable Vapes
The two main categories when discussing refillable vapes are Pod Systems and Mods
While both are re-usable and re-fillable there are some important differences between the two
Pod Systems
Pod system vapes vapes that come in two pieces a pod at the top where you refill the vape juice and replace the coil (sometimes the coil and the pod may come as a one piece) and the battery or the "body" of the vape where the power source is stored and where you can change the wattage (if applicable) for the exact amount of flavor and smoke you like.

Mods
Vape mods as the name suggests can be modified to suite every all your vape needs. When it comes to vape mods the "body" is what's considered the actual mod and the "head' is what's known as a tank.
