1. Why was the Vozol Star 20K discontinued?
The Vozol Star 20K was long one of the most popular disposable vapes in Europe. Over time, however, vapers began to want longer battery life, a more consistent flavour and a wider variety of flavours. The manufacturer has therefore discontinued the 20K model and launched the Vozol Star 40K as its successor.
Anyone wishing to continue using the familiar Vozol range will find that the Star 40K offers a similar design with a longer-lasting battery, more puffs and a wider selection. In the shop at neovape.de You’ll find the latest models and varieties here.
2. Vozol Star 40K vs. Star 20K: a technical comparison
All figures are as stated by the manufacturer. The number of cycles is the maximum figure under ideal conditions; in everyday use, the actual figure will be lower, depending on how the product is used.

Predecessor, production discontinued
Vozol Star 40K
Current successor
Classification: The biggest difference lies in the battery and its capacity. You should therefore not base your plans on the maximum figure, but on a noticeably lower practical figure.
3. Compare the price per train journey properly
The unit price on its own doesn’t tell you much. What matters is how much you pay per pull. The calculation is simple: the price of the machine divided by the maximum number of pulls.
If a device with 20,000 puffs costs the same as one with 40,000 puffs, the price per puff is halved.
Even with a slight surcharge for the Star 40K, the price per train is, on paper, significantly lower than that of the Star 20K.
All invoices are based on the manufacturer’s specifications (maximum number of runs). You can find the current prices for the Star 40K directly in our shop.
4. Design, ergonomics & build quality
The Star 20K featured a compact, rounded casing that sat comfortably in the hand and fitted into any jacket pocket. However, frequent vapers found they reached their limits more quickly due to the smaller e-liquid tank and battery.
The Star 40K is designed to be slightly larger to accommodate the bigger battery and higher capacity. Anyone looking for a particularly slim device should bear this in mind. On the other hand, those who vape a lot every day will benefit from the capacity. According to the manufacturer, a digital display shows the battery level and e-liquid level in real time.
5. Battery performance & charging behaviour
The built-in 1,000 mAh battery offers around 54 per cent more capacity than the Star 20K’s 650 mAh battery. This is what enables twice the number of puffs.
The larger battery lasts longer when used in the same way.
A larger cell helps to maintain a constant voltage even when the charge level is low.
Charge using cables you’ve got at home anyway.
Charging tip: Use a standard USB-C cable at room temperature and do not leave the device to charge unattended overnight. If it has been exposed to the cold – for example, after a journey in an unheated car – allow it to return to room temperature first.
6. Mesh Coil 2.0 & Consistent Flavour
A well-known problem with large disposable vapes is that the flavour diminishes towards the end of their lifespan. According to the manufacturer, the Star 40K uses an advanced Mesh Coil 2.0. Mesh coils have a larger heating surface, distribute heat more evenly and can reduce the risk of a burnt taste (dry hit).
No device can guarantee a consistent flavour right down to the very last puff. The draw, temperature and battery level all affect the result.
How to avoid dry hits: Take calm, steady puffs rather than lots of short ones in quick succession, and give the device a few short breaks to allow the e-liquid to be drawn up. If the flavour suddenly tastes burnt, take a break for a few minutes.
7. Who would benefit from making the switch?
A longer battery life and greater capacity mean fewer devices and fewer charging cycles.
The calculated price per train journey is lower.
Same brand, similar concept, more power.
If you don’t vape very often, you’ll hardly need the high capacity.
Anyone looking for a particularly slim device might find the Star 40K a bit too big.

9. Practical tips: Storage, transport and disposal
In an upright position, in a dry and cool place, away from direct sunlight or radiators, and out of the reach of children and pets.
In an inside pocket, so that the battery and e-liquid don’t get cold and the mouthpiece isn’t damaged.
Do not continue to use or charge devices that are swollen, misshapen or unusually hot.
Empty e-cigarettes contain a lithium battery and must not be disposed of with household waste. Please hand them in at a local collection point or at a shop that is obliged to take back waste electrical and electronic equipment.
