How to Tell When a Disposable Vape Is Empty

Allo and Flavour Beast are two of the deepest disposable ranges that we carry, but they are not in fact aiming at the same sort of customer. Allo’s range is on the small and simple side: five of its eight devices have fewer than 5,000 puffs. Flavour Beast on the other hand is larger, with the majority of its models falling between 8,000 and 50,000 puffs. For someone who is looking for a compact and low-commitment device, Allo offers more options. When it comes to getting the longest runtime or the best value per puff, Flavour Beast clearly comes out on top and does so by a wide margin.

The Short Answer

• If you’d like a compact device, prefer a lower initial cost, or are new to disposable products and don’t want to commit to one that lasts for weeks, then you should buy Allo.
• If you vape every day, prefer to make fewer replacements, or are more concerned with the cost per puff than with the cost per device, then you should buy Flavour Beast.
• The best value among the two ranges is the Flavour Beast Beast Mode Max 2 50K, at about $0.80 per 1,000 puffs.

How the Two Lineups Are Shaped

What people usually fail to notice is that the brands do not correspond to one another on a tier by tier basis.

While Allo focuses on the compact segment, Flavour Beast has very little to offer in that area and instead provides five different models in the mid-range sector where Allo has no products.

Price per 1,000 Puffs: The Numbers

Sticker price and actual value diverge sharply here, and the gap runs in one direction:

The extent of the difference is huge, since the Beast Mode Max 2 produces puffs at about one twenty-fifth of the cost of the Fury 800. This does not mean that the Fury is a poor device, merely that it represents a different kind of purchase. Small disposables command a higher price because they are small, and this applies to both brands equally.

Flagship vs Flagship: Ultra 25K and Beast Mode Max 2

Each of these is the top device offered by the brand and represents the most reasonable way of comparing them, even though the Beast Mode Max 2 has twice the rated capacity.

• Allo Ultra 25K: 25,000 puffs · 20 mg/mL · $32.99
• Flavour Beast Beast Mode Max 2 50K: 50,000 puffs · 20 mg/mL · $39.99 · multiple power modes

If you spend $7 more, the Beast Mode Max 2 gives you about double the runtime and includes selectable power modes. On the basis of value, it is the better choice. The advantage of the Ultra 25K is that it has a lower initial cost and is a simpler device with no settings to configure. Some people actually do prefer this, and 25,000 puffs is already a very long lifetime for the device according to any normal standard.

Flavours

Both brands open their range with fruit and fruit-ice profiles, since this is the area in which Canadian demand for disposable units is mainly focused. By design, Flavour Beast is the more flavour-oriented of the two: its brand identity is based on its wide range of flavours, as is shown by the names of its products. Allo, on the other hand, maintains a more tightly focused and conventional list of flavours on its smaller devices. Those who enjoy trying out different flavours will find more options with Flavour Beast, while people who know exactly what they want will find that Allo’s range includes the standard choices. Our flavour families guide explains the differences between the six categories if your decision is based on taste rather than on the type of device.

Which Should You Actually Buy?

If you are replacing your disposable every few days and finding that the costs are becoming significant, the mid-tier and top-tier options from Flavour Beast are the ones that offer the best savings, especially the Beast Mode Max 2. On the other hand, if you only vape from time to time, or are trying disposables for the first time and don’t want to buy a device that stays with you longer than your interest in it, then Allo’s smaller range is the more suitable choice and carries less risk. If you’re still comparing brands, our guide to top disposable vape options in Canada covers other popular devices and helps put these two lineups into a wider context. Neither brand is clearly superior; they have just been designed to suit different kinds of usage.
