The IGET Bar has become Australia's most popular disposable e-cigarette with its amazing flavor and maximum capacity.
The BC5000 by Elf Bar is one of the bestselling disposable vapes out there – and it's not hard to see why. Its built-in battery offers 600 mAh and is good for about 5,000 puffs. It's rechargeable too, extending the life of this disposable device.
Disposable vapes are pre-filled with nicotine salts e-liquid and are ready to use straight out of the packet. With no need for charging, refilling, or pressing buttons, disposable vapes are the ultimate in easy vaping. Open the packet and start puffing away.
Now that disposable vape products are banned, the issue of vape disposal may slightly decrease, but Australia will still need a clear recycling system for those products approved via prescription. There are also millions of used disposable vapes still in circulation which will need to be safely recycled.
As the nicotine is measured as mg/ml (milligram per millilitre), this would mean a 20 mg/ml disposable vape that holds 2ml of e-liquid would have a total of 40 mg nicotine inside; equivalent to roughly 20-40 cigarettes.

The Australian government argues they are a public health threat, disproportionately affecting young people, many of whom haven't smoked before. Research suggests one in six Australians aged 14-17 years old has vaped, and one in four people aged 18-24. "Only 1 in 70 people my age has vaped," said Mr Butler, who is 52.
Vaping devices
It is not illegal to possess or use a vaporiser (without nicotine) in all states and territories of Australia. However, it is illegal to sell a vaporiser in Western Australia. In some other states, there are restrictions on the sale of vaporisers that resemble cigarettes.
Vaping is illegal for those under 18 in Australia. It is also illegal to sell vaping products (with or without nicotine) to anyone younger than 18 years of age. Vaping nicotine is legal in Australia only with a GP's prescription.
Based on our team's first-hand vaping experience, an Elf Bar 600 should last heavy vapers for around one day, and a casual vaper for at least two days, maybe three. An Elf Bar BC5000, advertised at 5000 puffs, will last heavy vapers up to a week and a casual vaper up to two weeks, maybe longer.
On average, a 3500 puff vape should last between one and two weeks. However, this depends entirely on how you use it and how often you vape. If you're a heavy vaper and use the device all day, every day, then it may last less than one week. If you aren't a heavy vaper, a 3500 puff vape can last up to two weeks.
The short answer is: Yes, they are just as safe as any other vape device.
5000 puff DISPOSABLE vape last is about the same as a pack of cigarettes. The average smoker smokes 10 cigarettes per day. If you smoke five times more than the average, then your 5000 puff DISPOSABLE vape will last you less than a week.
Queensland (QLD) vaping laws
You cannot vape in smoke-free zones and Queensland is the only state in Australia which you cannot import nicotine for personal use from overseas and it is illegal to use an e-cigarette containing nicotine.
It is an offence to attempt to obtain, or have a restricted substance, such as nicotine vaping liquid, in one's possession without a prescription. The maximum penalty applicable for a restricted substance, such as nicotine vaping liquid, is a $2,200 fine and/or 6 months imprisonment, pursuant to section 16.
If you are under 18, it is illegal for someone to sell you any kind of e-cigarette (it doesn't matter if it contains nicotine, or not). It is also illegal for someone who is aged 18 or over to buy a vape for you.
1: Vaping is less harmful than smoking, but it's still not safe. E-cigarettes heat nicotine (extracted from tobacco), flavorings and other chemicals to create an aerosol that you inhale. Regular tobacco cigarettes contain 7,000 chemicals, many of which are toxic.
They breathe in addictive nicotine and dozens of dangerous chemicals. Research suggests that vaping may affect the way cells in the respiratory tract (nose, throat, lungs) react to germs and may increase the chance of disease and infection from bacteria and viruses, like the virus that causes COVID-19.
About 11% of the general population aged 14 and over reported in 2019 having ever used e-cigarettes. At 26.1%, ever use was highest among young adults aged between 18 and 24 years, with lower use among older age groups.
Most manufacturers design disposable vapes so that the battery runs out prior to the e-liquid running dry. This is to stop vapers from experiencing unpleasant 'dry hits', which occur when there is no remaining e-liquid. Â With this considered, a disposable vape's intended expiry is generally when the battery runs out.
From our experience, the Elf Bar 5000 can last for 2 weeks. It offers approximately 5000 puffs. If you are a vaping expert, you can finish using this vape pen in about 14 days. It depends on how often you use the vape device and how long you vape every time.
