What is a big puff vape and how are they different?

Big puff vapes are vapes that come with a larger volume of e-liquid than other devices, this means that they last for longer and you can expect them to provide a higher puff count. Typically, vapes that offer more than 2ml of e-liquid and anywhere from up to 2,400 puffs per pod change are considered big puff vapes. Find out more in our guide to the puff count of big puff vapes.

Offering the ease of use and flavours consistent with 2ml prefilled pod kit, big puff vapes also offer some great advantages. They last longer than a traditional 2ml device, meaning that not only are they more cost effective, but they’re better for the environment too.

Things to consider when buying a big puff vape

When you’re picking out a big puff vape, there are a few things you’ll want to think about to make sure you get the right one for you. For a start, the puff count and e-liquid capacity itself is likely to be at the top of your list. The big thing to ask yourself here is, how often do you want to replace your pods? The more e-liquid the device comes with, the less often you’ll have to replace the pod & refill.

Another big consideration is whether you want a nicotine-containing vape or a nicotine-free one. Many big puff vapes are only available in a high 20 mg/ml nicotine strength, which won’t necessarily be suitable for everyone. If you need a lower strength or a nicotine-free option this is something to take into consideration when choose the right device for you, so might want to look at something like the IVG Pro 12 which has replacement pod & refill packs available in three different nicotine strengths, including a nicotine-free option.

You may want to stick to a brand that you already know well, or you might be experimenting with a new one. Be sure that you take a little time to read user reviews to get a good idea of which devices might suit you and always buy your vapes from official stores like Evapo, when you know you’re getting good quality, regulated products. Flavour is also going to be a big deciding factor. You’re obviously going to be keen to find a big puff vape that offers the kind of flavours you enjoy and, happily, you’ll find that most of the most popular flavours are available in big puff vapes. What’s more, you can even choose some kits that offer more than one flavour in the same vape.
