A newer wave of disposable vapes ships with selectable power modes — usually labelled Eco, Normal, and Boost — instead of a single fixed output. It’s a real feature, not a marketing gimmick, but it changes how you should read the puff-count number on the box. Here’s what each mode actually does, using two real devices as examples: the Ignite V300 (3 modes) and the Ignite V155 (2 modes).
What each mode does
- Eco mode — lowest power draw per puff. Stretches both battery and e-liquid the furthest, so this is almost always the mode used for the puff-count figure printed on the box.
- Normal mode — a middle setting on devices that offer it, balancing flavour/vapor output against battery life.
- Boost mode — highest power draw, for thicker clouds and a stronger throat hit. Uses more battery and e-liquid per puff, so the same device will give noticeably fewer total puffs if left on Boost the whole time.
| Device | Modes | Eco-mode puff rating | Battery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ignite V300 | Eco / Normal / Boost | Up to 30,000 | 800mAh, USB-C |
| Ignite V155 | Eco / Boost | Up to 15,500 | 700mAh, Type-C |
Why the printed puff count isn’t the whole story
Manufacturers rate puff count in the lowest-power mode because that’s the number that looks best on the box. If you mostly vape in Normal or Boost, you should expect real-world puffs below the advertised figure — not because the device is faulty, just because higher output pulls more from the battery and e-liquid per puff. Switching to Eco mode for everyday use and saving Boost for when you actually want bigger clouds is the simplest way to get close to the advertised number.
How to choose between modes day to day
- Want the device to last as long as possible? Stay in Eco — especially useful toward the end of the e-liquid, when battery life matters most.
- Want a stronger hit or thicker vapor for a bit? Switch to Boost, then back to Eco once you’re done.
- Device has a Normal setting? Use it as your default — it’s built to balance the two rather than make you choose every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does using Boost mode drain the battery faster?
Yes — Boost pulls more power per puff, so both the battery and the e-liquid run down faster than in Eco mode.
Is the puff count on the box a guarantee?
It’s the rating for the lowest-power mode (Eco). Real-world puffs will vary with how much time you spend in Normal/Boost, draw length, and habits — same as any disposable.
Can I switch modes mid-device?
Yes — on both the Ignite V300 and V155, the mode switch works any time, so you can move between Eco and Boost (and Normal, on the V300) as often as you like.
Which mode should beginners use?
Eco mode is the easiest starting point — smoother draw, longer-lasting device, and it’s what the advertised puff count is based on.
Do all disposable vapes have power modes?
No — most simpler disposables run a single fixed output. Multi-mode chips are a newer feature, currently found on select devices like the Ignite V300 and V155 rather than being standard across the category.
