Although disposable vapes are meant to be self-contained units, there are quite a few ingenious accessories that can not only elevate your functionality but also bring style and convenience to your vaping session.
Must-Have Protective Cases and Covers
These accessories are all about keeping your vape safe from damage, dirt, and lint.
Silicone Cases / Covers
A tightly fitting, elastic silicone is a sleeve that goes over the vape of your disposable. This is the most universal and useful accessory.
- Shock Absorption: Helps to protect the device, which is dropped or bumped slightly.
- Grip: Helps a device which is slippery due to your hand to be gripped more firmly.
- Hygiene: Protects the consumable part from the lint, dust, and small pieces of the bag that might be in your pocket.
- Style: There are a great deal of different colors, designs (for example marble, camo, glitter), even with charms.
Lanyards & Vape Straps
A lanyard worn around the neck or a wrist strap that is connected to your vape, usually through a silicone case that has a built-in loop.
- Hands-Free Convenience: A vape can be left hanging around your neck or wrist, therefore you do not have to take it off, this is great at festivals, concerts, or when you are working with your hands.
- Prevents Loss: It is very difficult to lose it when it is attached to you.
Protective Caps / Plugs
A small plastic or silicone cap that covers the mouthpiece.
- Ultimate Hygiene: Makes sure that the mouthpiece stays very clean even if it is in your pocket or bag.
- Prevents Accidental Firing: Most disposables are draw-activated but a cap still adds a physical barrier against pocket lint and that way the device will not be contaminated by debris.
Charging & Power (For Rechargeable Disposables)
Many modern disposables come with a USB-C port for recharging the battery. These accessories help with that.
Choosing a Compatible Power Bank
On the other hand, a power bank is a must-have in case your battery is low while on the move, nevertheless, it is very necessary that the one you choose fits the needs of your vape.
Find a Basic 5V/1A (or 5V/2.1A) Output Port:
The 5V/1A charging standard is the one that offers this slow and smooth current, thus it is the safest method to charge your device without any chance of harming the small battery.
Fast charging should never be used. Your vape is not able to accommodate the additional power. It will not recharge any quicker, and the battery will be gradually damaged by the high power that is forced, making it unsafe over time.
Pro Tip: There are many power banks that besides the fast-charging USB-C ports they also have a "standard" USB-A port. In most cases, this normal USB-A port is 5V/2.1A output. It is very safe to do so because the vape will take the 1A it needs.
The Perfect USB-C Cable
A standard, high-quality USB-C charging cable.
- Portability: It does not occupy space in your bag or create a tangled mess.
- Convenience: Exactly what you need to plug your vape into a power bank that is in your pocket.
Best For: Letting a power bank be your minimalist charging setup partner.
