How long does it take to charge a puff?

Are you a rechargeable puff user but unsure how long it takes to fully charge it?

Here is all the information you need to optimise your vaping experience!

What is a puff and how does this device work?

Since the ban on disposable puffs in 2025, the rechargeable puff has taken over.

A puff is a rechargeable, ready-to-use device designed for simple use:

• Liquid: pre-filled for added convenience;
• Button-free: inhaling triggers vapour production;
• Integrated battery: for minimal handling;
• Flexible: variable battery life depending on the model and number of puffs.

This type of product is ideal for vapers looking for a compromise between convenience and battery life.

The differences between an e-cigarette, a rechargeable puff and a pod

Today, there are 3 main families of vaping devices:

• Pods: interchangeable cartridges and rechargeable battery;
• Rechargeable puffs: ready to use, refillable with liquid or cartridge, battery to recharge;
• E-cigarettes: operates with removable batteries or an integrated battery, e-liquid tank, often used by experienced vapers.

The different components of a puff

• Battery: between 300 mAh and 850 mAh depending on the version;
• Liquid: pre-filled with different nicotine levels;
• Cartridge: integrated tank containing liquid;
• Coil: used to heat the liquid in order to produce vapour.

How long does it take to charge a puff?

Factors that influence charging time
