How Smart Features Are Shaping the Future of Vaping
As someone who enjoys exploring the technology behind everyday gadgets, I couldn't help but notice how far behind disposable vapes were compared to other consumer tech. Meanwhile, phones, earbuds, and even electric toothbrushes were getting smarter every year. Disposable vapes? Still stuck in the era of 'just puff and toss.'
And for those of us who care about flavor variety (especially raz flavors, which I'm a huge fan of), we were limited by these tech constraints. Weak coils, inconsistent hits, and unpredictable battery life were the norm.
That got me thinking—why can't disposable vapes keep up?
If you're into vaping like I am, you've probably felt the frustration. Here's what I kept running into with older Disposable Vape models: No Feedback: I never knew how many puffs were left. Sometimes the device just died mid-session.
I never knew how many puffs were left. Sometimes the device just died mid-session. Weak Coils: A lot of devices started off strong and lost flavor halfway through.
A lot of devices started off strong and lost flavor halfway through. Wasted Juice: Batteries would die before the e-liquid ran out.
Batteries would die before the e-liquid ran out. Limited Control: No ability to adjust airflow, wattage, or even just check a battery indicator.
Even some premium options weren't immune to these issues. You could pay more and still get a device that burned out early or felt inconsistent from puff to puff.
For someone who enjoys specific flavors—like raz flavors—this felt like a waste. The experience should be smooth and consistent, especially when I'm spending extra to try premium lines like raz vape products.
I started digging deeper into newer disposable models to see if things were changing. And to my surprise, the tech is finally catching up.
We're now entering a phase where Disposable Vapes aren't just convenient—they're becoming smart. Brands like raz vape are starting to include features that were once only found in mod systems or pod kits. I've been using these new models for a while, and here's a breakdown of the upgrades that actually make a difference.
One of the biggest changes I've noticed is the shift to mesh coils. Instead of a single wire heating element, mesh coils use a fine metal mesh that heats more evenly.
Why it matters: Better flavor: Especially important for bold profiles like raz flavors.

No more burnt taste halfway through the tank. Consistent performance: Even after hundreds of puffs.
Some newer models now include a small LED screen showing: Puff count
Battery level
E-liquid indicator (in some cases)
When I tried the raz vape TN9000, the puff counter actually changed how I used the device. I paced myself better and knew exactly when it was time to recharge.
Let's be real—most older disposable vapes didn't offer charging at all. That meant when the battery died, so did your flavor. But now, with USB-C becoming standard in disposables, you can use every drop of e-liquid.
Benefits: Fast charging : A quick 15-minute boost can last hours.
: A quick 15-minute boost can last hours. Less waste: You don't toss a device before it's empty.
This feature might not seem like a big deal at first, but it makes a noticeable difference. Adjustable airflow lets you control the draw—tight for strong throat hits, or loose for bigger clouds.
lets you control the draw—tight for strong throat hits, or loose for bigger clouds. Smart draw sensors replace traditional buttons. The vape knows when you're inhaling and fires instantly.
This is particularly useful when trying out richer raz flavors. Some taste better with tighter airflow, others with more open draws.
All of these small upgrades add up to a much better experience. The gap between disposables and traditional vape mods is closing fast. For those of us who want the simplicity of a Disposable Vape but still expect modern features, this is a huge win.
Here's what I personally like about smart disposables now: I don't need to worry about running out of battery without warning.
The flavors (especially the raz vape lineup) actually stay consistent to the end.
I get better value because the devices last longer and perform better.
I have a bit more control, without needing a full-blown mod system.
This shift also means that beginners can get a premium vaping experience without diving into complex setups. You don't need to build coils or change settings—you just open, charge if needed, and enjoy.
Technology moves fast, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see even more innovations soon. Based on the direction things are heading, here's what could be next: App-connected vapes : Track puff habits, nicotine intake, and flavor history.
: Track puff habits, nicotine intake, and flavor history. Bluetooth pairing : Lock or unlock your vape for safety.
: Lock or unlock your vape for safety. Flavor sensors : Automatically adjust coil temperature for the best taste.
: Automatically adjust coil temperature for the best taste. Voice feedback or audio alerts: (Okay, maybe this one is a stretch—but not impossible!)
And let's not forget the environmental angle. With smarter battery management and refillable disposables entering the market, there's also a push toward reducing waste while still keeping things simple.
If you're still using outdated Disposable Vapes, it might be time to look at what brands like raz vape are doing. The tech is improving fast, and it's making a real difference—not just in performance but in overall experience. Whether you're into bold raz flavors or just want a more reliable device, these smart features are worth checking out. If you want to try a vape with these advanced features, you can visit razofficial.com to explore their latest lineup.
For me, vaping isn't just about nicotine or quitting cigarettes. It's about the experience. And thanks to these tech upgrades, disposable vapes finally feel like they belong in 2025.
Got questions or a favorite tech-packed vape you've tried recently? I'd love to hear about it. Drop a comment or send a message—let's talk tech and flavor.
Disposable vapes have come a long way from their basic, one-time-use beginnings. With upgrades like mesh coils, LED puff counters, USB-C charging, and smart airflow sensors, modern disposables—especially those from raz vape—now offer a tech-driven experience that rivals traditional vape mods. These advancements not only improve performance and flavor consistency (especially for fans of raz flavors) but also make vaping more convenient, efficient, and enjoyable. As technology continues to evolve, smart disposables are likely to become the new standard for everyday vapers who want both simplicity and innovation.

Vape bins placed in Singapore's six autonomous universities to encourage voluntary disposal
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Each university has placed one bin on campus and is assessing the need for more. SINGAPORE – Vape disposal bins have been placed at Singapore's six autonomous universities as part of a national push to tackle the rising trend of vaping among youth. The bins are part of the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and People's Association (PA)'s 'Bin the Vape' campaign , which encourages users to voluntarily dispose of their vapes without penalty. Possessing, using or buying vapes carries a maximum fine of $2,000, but the authorities said no action will be taken against those who voluntarily dispose of their vapes. These bins have been placed at 23 community clubs and one residents' network centre around the island, including in Punggol, Boon Lay, Mountbatten, Woodlands and Bishan. The move aims to foster a supportive, stigma-free environment for those trying to quit vaping, said the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). Each university has placed one bin on campus and is assessing the need for more. The move was announced in a circular sent to students and staff around last week. Under the law, it is an offence to possess, purchase or use e-vaporisers or related products. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

In response to queries from The Straits Times, all six universities said they take a firm stance against vaping. Students caught will face disciplinary actions and may be reported to the authorities. But those who voluntarily surrender their devices or seek help to quit will not be penalised. The institutions also said they are stepping up education and enforcement efforts to maintain a vape-free campus. The National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) said offenders living on campus may be suspended and barred from such housing. The National University of Singapore (NUS) said those residing on campus may be suspended or barred from such housing. NTU added that vaping on campus, regardless of e-vaporiser content, will constitute a breach of NTU's code of conduct. During orientation programmes, freshmen will be reminded of the illegality and dangers of vaping and of the university's strict stance against vaping. Its halls of residence will also issue circulars on NTU's policy. Those caught vaping on campus, regardless of vape content, may face disciplinary actions such as fines or being barred from staying in NTU's halls of residences, or be required to go for counselling. They must also attend a vaping cessation programme conducted by HSA. The Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) said it jointly enforces a strict no-vaping policy with the Singapore Institute of Management on their shared campus. It has put up 'no vaping' banners, and conducts regular security patrols. It uses CCTV surveillance to deter and detect violations. SUSS added that students found vaping on campus will have their devices confiscated, their personal details recorded, and be reported to HSA. Meanwhile, NUS said those who witness vaping activities on campus can make a report through its whistleblowing channel. The Singapore Management University (SMU) said it maintains a general whistleblowing policy, which allows individuals to report in good faith any improper activities, including those that affect safety or well-being. 'We recognise that students may turn to vaping for various reasons – such as stress, peer influence, or curiosity – and encourage those who wish to stop vaping to seek confidential support through our wellness centre or HPB's QuitLine on 1800-438-2000,' said SMU. The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) said its campus is smoke-free and it has strict rules to maintain a safe and healthy environment. All incoming freshmen attend an orientation session on residential life that includes a segment on the risks and consequences of drugs and vaping. The Ministry of Health (MOH) is in the process of classifying etomidate, a sedative increasingly found in vapes, as a Class C controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act. Ahead of the law taking effect in the coming weeks, MOH is offering an amnesty period when users can surrender their devices or seek help to quit without facing any penalties. Once the law kicks in, those caught using etomidate-laced vapes will face mandatory supervision and rehabilitation. Under current laws, those caught selling, importing or distributing such vapes could face jail and caning.

Vape ban sparks panic buying as shops slash prices to beat deadline in just HOURS that could land you with £600 fine
VAPE users have started panic buying in bulk as shops slash prices ahead of the looming ban. Brits could be fined hundreds of pounds when 1 Vape users have been "bulk-buying" and "panicking" ahead of the ban Credit: Getty Both online and in store outfits will be affected by the ban and will include all vapes, regardless of whether they contain nicotine. "The maximum amount those who breach their household waste duty of care could be fined will increase from £400 to £600," the Government website WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) stated. Refillable vapes will still be available after the ban is imposed - but this hasn't stopped users Jack Leadbeater, 22, who works at Eco Vape on Exchange Walk in Nottingham, told the BBC people have been "bulk-buying" in response to new legislation. Read More "They've just been bulk-buying, really, making [sure] they can have them for as long as possible after the ban," "With the ones that they're getting, they're just using them and then they don't have to worry about them, they just chuck them away, whereas with the pods and stuff, a lot of people see it as a hassle and they don't really want to go for that." Meanwhile, Douglas Eccles, from Rustic Vapez, agreed with the ban but noted how it's left customers "panicking". "Everyone's panicking thinking all disposables are gone from Sunday, but it's not going to go that way," he said. Most read in The Sun "A lot of people are bulk-buying them because a lot of shops are doing them really cheap because they know that any stock they've got from Sunday they've got to take off the shelves. "At the end of the day it's business, you don't want to lose out." Teen told he was coughing up 'pints' of blood due to a stomach ulcer caused by kebabs - 'excessive vaping' was to blame The ban comes as figured revealed fourteen per cent of over-16s puffed on e-cigarettes between January 2024 and January 2025 — the same percentage as the previous year. The crackdown will also halt the scourge of plastic littering after five million vapes a week were thrown away in 2023 — quadruple the number from 2022. The move follows mounting fears that more kids are illegally buying disposables, many of which now come in bright packaging with flavours including bubblegum, candy floss and cola. Ministers also want to stop users trashing the environment with the throwaway devices. More than 40 tonnes of lithium, used in the batteries, was thrown out with disposable vapes in the UK in 2022 — enough to power 5,000 electric cars. Scientists believe the ban has recently dented the popularity of single-use vapes. Study author Dr Sarah Jackson said: 'The research cannot tell us why vaping rates have levelled off. "But in the past we have seen changes in smoking habits before a policy change. 'Action is likely still required to reduce high vaping rates. "But now the situation has stabilised, policymakers may be sensible to avoid stricter options that might deter smokers from using vapes to quit.' The University College London study of 88,611 people in It went from 63 to 35 per cent among young adults. WEEE waste professionals said: "Many people mistakenly believe that vapes can be tossed into their regular bin at home, but they're actually classed as WEEE, which has strict rules for disposal. When vapes are disposed of in household bins, this can lead to fires in bin trucks and at waste management sites, posing a huge risk to workers and the public." The worrying statistics come amid more and more vaping horror stories. A self-confessed "vaping addict" says Karlee Ozkurt, 20, vaped for five years, after Now she fears she won't live past the age of "40 or 50". Karlee claims taking up e-cigarettes was the "worst decision" she ever made and it remains her biggest regret in life. Meanwhile, a man has urged people quit vaping after he was left with Joseph Lawrence, 25, puffed on e-cigarettes every day for years before being rushed to A&E with an almost collapsed lung. Plus, one parent was horrified when he A youngster was then left in coma, with another "vomiting blood". Other school children have required medical attention after vaping, falling unconscious while experiencing horrifying heart palpitations, and dizziness. What are the new vape laws? Ministers have pledged to crackdown on poorly regulated vapes and e-cigarettes following an explosion in the number of teenagers who use them. New rules for manufacturers and shopkeepers are expected to come into force in 2025. They are set to include: Higher tax rates paid on vapes increase the price and make it harder for children to afford them A ban on single-use vapes in favour of devices that can be recharged A ban on colourful and cartoonish packaging that may appeal to youngsters Tighter controls on flavourings and a ban on unnecessarily sweet or child-friendly ones like bubblegum and candy More regulation on how and where they are displayed in shops, potentially putting them out of sight Harsher penalties for shops caught selling them to under-18s The ban on disposable vapes is part of ambitious government plans to tackle the rise in youth vaping. A report published by Action on Smoking and Health (Ash) found 20.5 per cent of children in the UK had tried vaping in 2023, up from 15.8 per cent in 2022 and 13.9 per cent in 2020.
