Yes! At OB Vape, we pride ourselves on offering the lowest prices in Ireland on disposables, e-liquids, vape kits, and nicotine pouches. If you find a better price, email us at info@obvape.ie — we’ll match it. We also offer next-day delivery across Ireland.

What are the strongest nicotine pouches in Ireland?

OB Vape is Ireland’s number one store for high-strength nicotine pouches. We stock popular brands like PABLO (50mg), ICEBERG (50mg), and Greatest Cold Dry. These pouches are 100% tobacco-free and perfect for discreet, smoke-free nicotine.

What nicotine strength should I choose when switching from disposables?

Most disposable vapes in Ireland contain 20mg nicotine salts, which is equivalent to strong 10ml nic salt e-liquids. If you’re switching to a refillable kit, choose a 10mg or 20mg nic salt for a similar hit. You’ll save money and get more flavour.

How to Recycle Disposable Vapes in Ireland

With the rise in disposable vapes across Ireland, one big question keeps coming up — how do you dispose of them properly? Throwing them in the bin isn’t the answer, and there are better, safer options available.

Quick Answer: Disposable vapes should never go in general waste. They contain batteries and electronics, so they must be recycled at proper e-waste or battery recycling points.

Why You Shouldn’t Throw Vapes in the Bin

Disposable vapes contain:

Lithium batteries
Plastic and metal components
Residual e-liquid

Putting them in general waste can:

Cause environmental damage
Create fire risks in waste facilities
Waste recyclable materials

Where Can You Recycle Vapes in Ireland?

There are several safe ways to recycle disposable vapes:

1. WEEE Recycling Centres

Most local recycling centres accept small electronic devices under Ireland’s WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) scheme.

Accepted as small electronic waste
Free to recycle

2. Battery Recycling Points

Since vapes contain lithium batteries, they can often be recycled at battery drop-off points in:

Supermarkets
Electronics stores

Important: If possible, remove the battery safely — but most disposable vapes are sealed, so treat the whole device as e-waste.

3. In-Store Recycling (OB Vape)

At OB Vape, we offer battery recycling in-store in partnership with Barretstown.

Drop off used vape batteries safely
Help reduce environmental impact
Support responsible vaping in Ireland

If you’re unsure, just bring your used device in and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Can You Take Disposable Vapes Apart?

Technically yes — but it’s not recommended unless you know what you’re doing.

Batteries can be dangerous if damaged
