BEAR+Aspire R1 - The UK's First Compliant 3500 Puff Disposable Vape
Born from a partnership between Aspire and BEAR Flavors, the new BEAR+Aspire R1 is a 3500 puff disposable vape that bridges the gap between single-use disposable vapes and reusable devices like vape pods.
It’s fully TPD compliant with a 2ml tank capacity, however, unlike standard disposables, the R1 allows you to recharge and refill it up to 10 times. That means you can get up to 7000 puffs until the Aspire coil finally expires.
What are 3500 puff vapes?
Disposable vapes, aka puff bars, vape bars, or single-use e-cigs, usually have around 600 puffs due to the UK’s TPD regulations on maximum 2ml tank capacity.
Compliant 3500 puff disposables like the BEAR+Aspire R1 still have a 2ml tank but are able to be refilled which allows them to achieve over 3500 puffs.
Are 3500 puff disposable vapes illegal in the UK?
Most disposable vapes have 600 puffs for one simple reason. In the UK, TPD and TRPR regulations mean e-cigarettes – including disposable vape or puff bars – cannot have more than a 2ml e-liquid capacity.
Many of the current 3500 puff disposables on the market, such as the Elux Legend, are not registered, have not gone through testing required by UK regulations, nor have they been listed with MHRA.
You should avoid these at all costs and trading standards have been removing these devices from shelves across the UK.
However, the BEAR+Aspire R1 is fully compliant as it has a 2ml tank and provides over 3500 puffs as it is refillable and rechargeable.
What are the benefits of disposables with 3500 puffs?
There are lots of benefits to using 3500 puff e-cigs like the BEAR+Aspire R1, from using less batteries to saving money:
- They provide over 3500 puffs, more than 5 times compared to standard disposable vapes.
- They are refillable and rechargeable.
- Not limited by battery or e-liquid capacity and can be safely disposed of when the coil expires.
How long should a 3500 puff vape last?
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. Bear in mind that the more you use the vape and fire the coil, the faster it will burn out. This can affect the flavour and you may notice a slight metallic or burnt taste and a loss of overall flavour, as the coil reaches the end of its life.
When this happens, it’s time to replace the device with a new one and safely dispose of the old one.
Do Elux bars actually have 3500 puffs?
Elux Legends only have 3500 puffs because they have an illegal 10ml tank capacity. In the UK, the Elux Legend is banned as the maximum tank capacity allowed is 2ml.
Alternative devices that have 3500 puffs, like the BEAR + Aspire R1, have a compliant 2ml tank and are rechargeable and refillable. Even better, the R1 can actually provide up to 7000 puffs if you buy another 10ml bottle of nic salt.
How many cigarettes are in 3500 puffs?
One 3500 puff vape contains roughly 280 cigarettes worth of nicotine. However e-liquids and nic salts do not contain carcinagenic and harmful carbon monoxide or tar, which is why vaping is 95% safer than smoking tobacco cigarettes.
What vape has 3500 puffs?
The BEAR Aspire R1 is the UK’s first compliant 3500 puff disposable vape, and costs just £9.99. It’s refillable and rechargeable and you can even reach up to 7000 puffs by buying another 10ml nic salt when the first runs out.
However, many people still search for the illegal Elux Legend disposable, which is banned in the UK due to its non-compliant 10ml tank.
How much nicotine is in a 3500 puff vape?
A 3500 puff vape using 20mg nic salt provides the same amount of nicotine as 280 cigarettes. However, unlike cigarettes, e-liquids and nic salts do not contain harmful carbon monoxide or tar, two of the most toxic and carcinogenic chemicals in cigarettes.
As the BEAR + Aspire R1 is a refillable device with 3500 puffs, you can also use other e-liquids with less nicotine if you prefer to vape lower strengths nic salts and e-liquids.
How many puffs a day is normal for vaping?
There is no ‘normal’ amount for someone to vape, it depends on the needs of the individual. You should only vape enough to satisfy your cravings for cigarettes.
Vaping is an alternative to smoking harmful cigarettes. If you were a heavy smoker, then you will likely need to vape more than someone who was a light smoker in order to satisfy your cravings.
For reference, 100 puffs from a 20mg nicotine salt are roughly equivalent to 8 cigarettes. That works out as roughly one cigarette for every 13 puffs from a vape (with 20mg nic salt).
If you used to vape 20 cigarettes a day, then on paper, you should expect to vape around 260 puffs a day to match the same level of nicotine. However, in practice, this will differ as e-liquids deliver nicotine in different ways (nic salts vs freebase, for example).
