Adult vapers in Toronto shopping at Aroma Vapes generally choose between two formats: a pre-filled disposable device, or bottled e-liquid used in a refillable device they own. Both are sold in Canada under the same federal rules, including the 20 mg/mL maximum nicotine concentration, but they differ in how much liquid you get at once, what hardware you need to own, and how the ongoing cost works out. This guide compares the two formats using products actually listed on aromarush.ca.
Verified key specifications
- Disposable example — Allo Ultra 10K Hybrid: see the Allo Ultra 10K product page. Up to 10,000 puffs per pod, 8 mL pre-filled e-liquid, 600 mAh battery with USB-C charging, 20 mg/mL nicotine salt. The Ultra 10K is a hybrid design: the battery section is kept and the pre-filled pod is replaced when empty, and replacement pods are sold separately on the same site. Browse the full range in our disposables category.
- Bottled salt example — Flavour Beast E-Liquid: see the Flavour Beast salt product page. 30 mL bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid at 20 mg/mL; a 10 mg/mL version of the same line is also listed on aromarush.ca. Salt bottles require a refillable pod system or device, sold separately.
- Bottled salt example — Allo E-Liquid: see the Allo E-Liquid product page. 30 mL bottle, nicotine salt, 20 mg/mL — the bottled counterpart to the Allo disposable range.
- Freebase bottles on our shelves: our e-liquids category also lists freebase e-liquids in larger bottles, including 60 mL bottles at 3 mg and 12 mg, and 100 mL bottles at 3 mg and 6 mg. Freebase strengths are lower per millilitre than salt strengths and are used in refillable tanks and pod systems.
How the two formats differ in practice
A disposable arrives ready to use: pre-filled, draw-activated on most models, with no filling, coil changes or setup. Rechargeable models such as the Ultra 10K are topped up over USB-C until the liquid is finished; the hybrid version keeps the battery and swaps the pod. A standard disposable is not refillable.
Bottled e-liquid separates the liquid from the hardware. You buy a refillable device once, then fill it from a 30 mL, 60 mL or 100 mL bottle and replace coils or pods as they wear. That is more commitment up front — a device to charge, fill and maintain — in exchange for any bottled flavour and strength combination on the shelf, rather than only the flavours a disposable line is pre-filled with.
On volume, a 30 mL salt bottle holds close to four times the liquid in an 8 mL pre-filled pod. Live prices checked on aromarush.ca on October 25, 2026 make the difference concrete: the Flavour Beast 30 mL salt bottle listed at $28.32 works out to about $0.94 per millilitre of liquid, while the Allo Ultra 10K device listed at $26.55 for its 8 mL pod works out to about $3.32 per millilitre — though that figure also buys the battery and coil, and the bottle figure excludes the refillable device you need first. Prices change, so check the product pages, but the pattern is consistent: disposables cost less to start, bottled e-liquid costs less per millilitre over time.
Flavour lineup at a glance
Flavour choice exists in both formats, but the catalogue is wider in bottles. Disposable shelves carry set flavour lists per device — the Allo Ultra 10K pod range, for example, includes Pomegranate Ice, with availability varying by shipment. The bottled shelves span the same brands in bottle form — Allo, Flavour Beast and Elf Bar's Elfliq salts — plus bottle-only lines such as Lemon Drop, Banana Bang, Dr. Fog, Twelve Monkeys and Naked 100, in salt and freebase versions. Adults who rotate flavours frequently will find more options per brand in the e-liquids category.
Nicotine information
Canada's federal cap is 20 mg/mL for every format — disposables, pods and bottled e-liquid alike. Within that cap, the formats differ in the strengths offered. Disposables on our shelves are typically sold at 20 mg/mL. Bottled salts are listed at both 10 mg/mL and 20 mg/mL in several lines, and freebase bottles are listed at lower strengths, including 3 mg, 6 mg and 12 mg, as well as nicotine-free options in some lines. An adult who wants a strength below 20 mg/mL will generally find that choice in bottled e-liquid rather than in a disposable. Vaping products contain nicotine, which is highly addictive, as stated in the Health Canada warning on each product page.
Who each format is for
Disposables fit adult vapers who prioritise convenience: no device to buy first, no filling, no coil changes, and a known puff rating per unit. Bottled e-liquid fits adults who already own, or will buy and maintain, a refillable device, and who value a wider flavour catalogue, strength options below 20 mg/mL, and a lower cost per millilitre. Hybrid systems such as the Allo Ultra 10K sit between the two: a kept battery with replaceable pre-filled pods, but still no bottled-liquid choice. All products here are for adults 19 and older in Ontario.
