In general, disposable e-cigarettes don’t offer the quality and good value cigarette that you can get with a standard e-cigarette, but they can be a good choice if you only want to vape from time to time, or if you forgot your kit at home. FIN is one of the most popular brands in the United States and it offers a practical range of disposable e-cigs that are available for sale in convenience stores and gas stations across the country. It is also possible to purchase them online, but they are mainly aimed at casual vapers who are on the go.
Design
The packaging of the FIN is simple, but it offers relevant information about the product, including the nicotine strength and a detailed list of ingredients. They use both propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin and the package states that the e-cigarette is meant to last as long as two packs of tobacco cigarettes. This may vary depending on how much you vape, but in general it will be fine if you are a light or moderate smoker on a short trip. In order to prevent the e-liquid from evaporating, the e-cig is sealed in a plastic tube that can be reused.
The device weighs a bit more than a traditional cigarettes and it is slightly longer, and you can hold it comfortably between your fingers. The FIN disposable e-cigarette is very similar to a rechargeable device, but the main components: the cartomizer, battery and LED tip, are built in a cardboard tube. In terms of battery life, the FIN is not exactly impressive, but keeping in mind the size, it is still quite good. You can get about 8 hours of battery, which is fine for a product that is mainly designed for casual users, those who want to try e-cigs, or in case of emergency when you are out and about and forgot your rechargeable at home.
Performance and flavor
FIN’s automatic switch offers great performance and you only have to take a light draw to activate the battery. While the vapor volume is not remarkable, it is good enough and if you take a few puffs to prepare the device, you can get better results. If you are trying e-cigarettes for the first time and decided to get a disposable one as a test, it is important to keep in mind that you shouldn’t judge e-cigarettes only based on this experience alone. Disposable e-cigs are not designed to offer the most advanced performance, or the strongest vapor production. Although disposable e-cigarettes are convenient to get started, you can get a better experience with rechargeable e-cigarettes.
In terms of flavor, FIN offers Tobacco and Menthol, which are the flavors that smokers are used to. Experienced vapors may prefer a wider selection of options, but these two options may be enough for the majority of people that use FIN’s disposable e-cigs. It is very unlikely that FIN adds new flavor options to the list, not only because Tobacco and Menthol are popular, but because they seem to agree with the idea that sweet flavors would appeal to children, which is what many e-cig detractors claim. It is disappointing to see that they take this approach, specially since the truth is that many adults enjoy sweet flavors.
One more thing to note when it comes to FIN’s vaping experience is that the threat hit is not very strong. Even if you get the strongest level of nicotine that they offer, the results in this area are not the best. Still, the vapor volume was good enough, but if you are a heavy smoker, you will certainly miss the strong hit in the back of your throat.
Conclusion
The FIN disposable is not meant to offer advanced technology or the most satisfactory vaping experience. It is a good way to get a nicotine fix if you don’t have your rechargeable e-cigarette with you, if you want to give e-cigs a try before purchasing a kit, or if you are only a casual user. You can get it for about $9.
