Disposables are one of the easiest ways to consume cannabis—pre-filled with cannabis oil, pre-charged, and ready to use straight out of the packaging. Most are draw-activated, which means there are no buttons to figure out. You just inhale, and the device does the rest. Once the oil runs out, the device is disposed of.
Types of Disposable Vapes at Quality Roots
At Quality Roots, we carry a wide selection of disposable vapes from established cannabis brands at our dispensary locations across Michigan and New Jersey. They come in a range of oil types and sizes, and that's where the real differences start to show.
The types of disposable vape pens available:
- Distillate disposables: The most common and accessible option with highly refined oil, consistent hits, and available in a wide range of strains and flavors. A solid entry point for anyone new to disposables.
- Live resin disposables: Made from fresh-frozen cannabis, which locks in more of the plant’s natural terpenes. The result is a noticeably fuller flavor and a more well-rounded effect compared to standard distillate.
- Live rosin disposables: The best disposable vapes for flavor chasers and those who like their products without chemicals. The cleanest, most terpene-rich option available, and the closest you’ll get to the source plant in a disposable format.
Size-wise, there are the standard 1g pens, high-capacity 2g and 3 g pens, and dual-strain pens that let you switch between two strains or blend them together.
How to Choose the Right Disposable Vape Pen
New to disposables or vaping in general? Start with a standard distillate vape pen. They’re easy to use, come in different strains, and are a great way to explore what effects and flavors work for you without spending too much.
If you’ve got some experience and want more from your sessions, a live resin disposable is the natural next step—better flavor, but still very easy to use. For those looking for the cleanest, most premium experience, live rosin is the top choice.
To make browsing easier, we organize products by effect:
- Lifted: Energizing, mind-focused effects.
- Balanced: A smooth ride in between.
- Grounded: When you want to decompress and let the body catch up.
THC percentages are listed on every product, so you can always cross-reference potency with your comfort level.

Disposables FAQs
Yes, disposables are a great option for beginners because they’re easy to use. There's no battery to charge, no cartridge to attach, and no settings to adjust. You just inhale, and the device activates on its own
It depends on the size of the device and how you use it. A standard 1g disposable typically delivers somewhere between 150 and 300 puffs, while a 2g or 3g device can last two to three times longer.
That depends on your tolerance, oil potency, and how your body responds to cannabis. For many beginners, one to two puffs are enough, while experienced consumers may need more. The key is to start slow, give it a few minutes, and build from there. It’s much easier to add than to undo.
Start with one or two and see how you feel before reaching for more. Cannabis affects everyone differently, and potency varies across products. A live rosin at 76% THC can hit differently than a distillate at 88%, even if the numbers suggest otherwise.
Neither is objectively better. Disposables are more convenient because they don’t require a battery and are ready straight out of the box. Cartridges are most cost-effective if you already have a 510-thread battery, and they give you more flexibility to mix and match brands and strains.
