About vape & e-cigarettes
Vapes have long been more than just a trend. They are the most popular alternative to tobacco cigarettes in Switzerland - and for good reason: no ash, no tobacco smell, but an intense taste in countless varieties. At Shisha Heaven, you not only benefit from a large vape range, but also from real expertise: we test devices, compare manufacturer specifications and give you sound tips for switching from tobacco to e-cigarettes.
What is a vape (how does it work)?
A vape consists of a battery that heats a heating coil, vaporizing the surrounding e-liquid. The vapor from the e-cigarette can be inhaled by pulling on the mouthpiece. Vape liquids are available in countless flavors and nicotine strengths and spoil you with an extremely tasty aroma compared to tobacco cigarettes.
What are the advantages of vapes?
Compared to tobacco cigarettes, vapes offer various advantages. As there is no combustion process, no harmful tar substances are produced, which reduces the potential danger. Vapes are also available in various flavors and with different nicotine levels. This allows you to tailor your vaping experience exactly to your personal needs. No smelly hands, no bad breath and the ability to vape indoors are further significant advantages of e-cigarettes.
- Huge variety of flavors
- Choose your own nicotine content
- No smelly smoke
What does Vape Liquid contain?
An e-liquid is vaporized in every vape. This usually consists of 50% propylene glycol and 50% vegetable glycerine. Added to this are food flavorings and, depending on the product, classic nicotine or nicotine salt.
What types of vapes are there?
The world of vapes is diverse - and that's what makes it exciting. Our range includes various devices such as e-shishas, refillable pod systems and MTL vaporizers, each covering different user needs. There are basically four vape categories:
Disposable vapes (disposables)
The disposable e-cigarette is the easiest way to vape: unpack it, pull the mouthpiece and you're done. Disposable vapes are also known as e-shisha and are considered an uncomplicated product that is particularly suitable for beginners and occasional use. The variety of products in this area offers the right choice for every taste and requirement.
Advantages:
- Super easy to use
- Very reliable in everyday use
- Huge range of brands & flavors
- Disposable vapes are designed for single use and cannot be refilled.
Disadvantages:
- More expensive with regular consumption
- Ecologically problematic
Popular vape brands: Elfbar, Lost Mary, Crystal Bar, Vozol
Prefilled Pod Systems
A rechargeable battery is combined with pre-filled vape pods. Insert the pod, pull the mouthpiece and enjoy.
Advantages:
- More sustainable & cheaper than disposable vapes
- Over 40 varieties & 3 nicotine strengths (0, 10, 20 mg)
- Same vapor experience as with disposables
- No complicated settings required - particularly user-friendly

Most popular vape flavors in Switzerland
Based on thousands of orders and a variety of available flavors, the three most popular flavors in the Shisha Heaven Vape Shop are:
| Variety | Flavor | |
| Watermelon Ice | Ice-cold watermelon | |
| Blueberry Ice | Fresh blueberries with a dash of ice cream | |
| Peach Ice | Juicy and refreshing peach | |
| Spearmint | Refreshing peppermint | |
| Blue Razz Lemonade | Sweet raspberry lemonade | |
| Tobacco | Tobacco flavor like a cigarette |
Beginners often prefer fruity ice varieties. Ex-smokers often choose tobacco or mint varieties to make the transition as authentic as possible.
How many puffs does a vape really offer?
Unfortunately, the manufacturer's specifications for the possible number of puffs are often exaggerated. Our own tests in the Shisha Heaven Vape lab show a different picture:
- Vape Pods & Disposables (2 ml): specified: 600 puffs → reality: 300 puffs
- Hybrid (12 ml): specified: 5000-10000 puffs → reality: 1600-2300 puffs
The fact is that the actual number of puffs is often 70 % lower than the manufacturer's specifications. If you want to make a comparison, you should base it on the amount of liquid it contains or on real empirical values - not on marketing figures.
Cost comparison: vaping vs. smoking in Switzerland
Price per 300 trains:
| Product | Costs |
| Cigarettes (tobacco) | CHF 13.50 |
| Disposable vape | CHF 9.90 |
| Prefilled Pod System | CHF 4.35 |
| Hybrid Vape | CHF 3.15 |
| E-Liquid | CHF 1.60 to 2.50 |
Conclusion: Smoking is by far the most expensive. Vapes save up to 70 %, pod systems with e-liquids offer the best value for money.
E-cigarette law Switzerland 2025
The regulation of e-cigarettes & vapes is progressing. You need to know this:
- Disposable vapes: ban decided → makes sense from an ecological point of view. Hybrid vapes and prefilled pod systems will close the gap of disposable vapes.
- Liquid tax: A tax of CHF 1 per milliliter is currently levied on disposable vapes. All other products are taxed at a lower rate of CHF 0.20 per milliliter of e-liquid.
- Vape flavors: There is no flavor ban in sight in Switzerland. Flavors such as blueberry or watermelon etc. can still be sold legally.
Buying a vape - what you should look out for
Vaping stands for enjoyment! If you want to buy an e-cigarette, disposable vape or reusable vape, there are a few important points to consider to make the vaping experience as good and safe as possible.
1. choose vapes with the right nicotine content
E-liquids and e-cigarettes contain nicotine in different concentrations. As nicotine has a strong addictive potential and can scratch the throat, it is advisable to adjust the nicotine strength to your individual needs.
- Heavy smokers choose 20mg nicotine
- Moderate smokers choose 10mg nicotine
- Occasional smokers choose 5mg nicotine
- Non-smokers choose vape without nicotine
2. find your top vape flavors
If you are new to the world of e-cigarettes, the variety of flavors may overwhelm you. Tip: Buy a good reusable system in our vape store and buy at least 5 different flavors with your first order and work your way up to your favorite flavors step by step!
3. pay attention to quality when buying a vape
When buying devices, e-liquids and nicotine shots, always pay attention to tested quality and reputable manufacturers. A good e-cigarette store only offers products that are free from harmful substances and undesirable additives. This way, you can be sure that your liquid tank is only filled with high-quality flavors and ingredients.
4. replace your vape pods in good time
Whether pod system, e-cigarette set or vaporizer - regular cleaning and maintenance of your device is crucial for performance and safety. Residues in the coil or liquid tank can impair the taste experience and, in the worst case, lead to malfunctions. Reusable vapes and pod systems should therefore be cleaned at regular intervals and wearing parts such as coils or pods should be replaced in good time.
5. dispose of used vapes properly
Disposable vapes and used liquid pods must be disposed of properly after use in order to protect the environment. Get a free vape recycling bag from the Shisha Heaven Vape Shop and have used e-cigarettes collected from your home by the post office!
