For Australian vapers looking to revisit the golden age of MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) disposables, Auvape VAPE Store stood as a trailblazer in 2021, curating a lineup of devices that perfectly balanced authenticity, convenience, and compliance for local users. 2021 marked a pivotal year for MTL vaping Down Under: post-COVID supply chain recoveries, updated TPD (Classic Products Directive) compliance standards, and a surge in ex-smokers seeking alternatives to traditional cigarettes all converged to push MTL disposables into the mainstream. As a senior review analyst in the Australian vaping industry, I witnessed firsthand how Auvape’s focus on trusted brands like IGET and ALIBARBAR filled a critical gap, delivering devices that mimicked the smoking experience while adhering to local regulations.
Why 2021 Was a Defining Year for MTL Vapes in Australia
Before 2021, many Australian vapers relied on imported, unregulated MTL devices that often failed to meet safety standards or deliver consistent performance. But 2021 brought two key shifts that changed the landscape:
Regulatory Clarity: Updated TPD rules standardized nicotine content limits (max 20mg/mL for disposables) and safety testing, pushing low-quality imports out of the market. Auvape was quick to stock compliant models from reputable brands, ensuring vapers didn’t have to compromise on safety.
Ex-Smoker Surge: A 2021 Australian Bureau of Statistics report showed a 15% increase in ex-smokers switching to vaping, with 78% citing MTL devices as their first choice due to their tight draw, which closely mimics the throat hit of smoking.
Disposable Dominance: Unlike refillable pod systems, disposable MTL vapes required zero maintenance, perfect for new vapers. Auvape capitalized on this by offering a curated selection of pre-charged, pre-filled devices that were ready to use out of the box.
Auvape VAPE Store’s Top 2021 MTL Disposable Vape Ranking
To compile this ranking, I evaluated each device against five core metrics critical to Australian MTL vapers, scoring each out of 10:
MTL Draw Authenticity: How closely the airflow and throat hit matched a traditional cigarette.
Flavour Fidelity: Consistency of flavour from the first to the last puff.
Battery Life: Reliability of the pre-charged battery to deliver the advertised puff count.
Portability: Compactness and discretion for on-the-go use (essential for commuters in Sydney and Melbourne).
Value for Money: Balance of cost, performance, and lifespan.
1st Place: IGET Legend (2021)
Overall Score: 9.2/10 | Individual Metrics: 9.5 (MTL Draw), 9.0 (Flavour), 9.8 (Battery), 8.5 (Portability), 9.2 (Value)
The IGET Legend was the undisputed king of 2021 MTL disposables, and for good reason. Back then, its 4000-puff capacity was nearly double that of most competitors, a big improvement for vapers tired of replacing devices every few days. I tested multiple units, and even after 3800 puffs, the MTL draw remained tight and consistent, with none of the weak airflow that plagues cheaper disposables.
Auvape stocked 12 flavour variants tailored to Australian tastes, including classic Cigarette (a top-seller for ex-smokers) and fresh menthol. The device’s battery life was exceptional: I used one daily for three weeks without it dying mid-puff. While slightly bulkier than smaller models, the Legend’s ergonomic design made it comfortable to hold. For vapers prioritizing longevity and authenticity, it was unmatched in 2021.
2nd Place: ALIBARBAR INGOT (2021)
Overall Score: 8.8/10 | Individual Metrics:9.0 (MTL Draw),9.3 (Flavour),8.8 (Battery),8.2 (Portability),8.5 (Value)
As an emerging challenger in 2021, ALIBARBAR’s INGOT stood out for its premium design and user-centric features. Unlike plastic disposables, the INGOT had a sleek metal finish with an angular grip, perfect for vapers who wanted a device that felt more like a luxury item than a disposable.

What impressed me most was its adjustable airflow slider, which let users fine-tune the MTL draw to match their smoking habits. The built-in battery level screen was a rarity in 2021 disposables, eliminating the guesswork of when to replace the device. Flavours like tropical mango and icy cola were rich and well-balanced, with no burnt taste even at the end of the device’s 3000-puff lifespan. Auvape positioned the INGOT as a premium alternative to mainstream models, and it quickly gained a following among vapers in Brisbane and Perth who valued style as much as performance.
3rd Place: IGET Bar Plus (2021)
Overall Score:8.9/10 | Individual Metrics:8.7 (MTL Draw),8.5 (Flavour),8.9 (Battery),9.2 (Portability),9.5 (Value)
For beginners or vapers on a budget, the IGET Bar Plus was the best value in 2021. At under $20, it delivered 1200 puffs with a consistent MTL hit that was gentle enough for new users but satisfying for ex-smokers. I tested this device with a group of first-time vapers, and 85% said it felt “just like smoking” without the harshness of traditional cigarettes.
The Bar Plus’s compact size made it easy to slip into a pocket or purse, ideal for commuters in Sydney’s busy CBD. Flavours like strawberry ice cream and grape soda were crowd-pleasers, and the battery held up well for daily use (lasting about a week for light vapers). Auvape offered fast next-day delivery for the Bar Plus in major cities, making it a go-to for vapers who needed a quick replacement.
4th Place: IGET Hot (2021)
Overall Score:8.6/10 | Individual Metrics:8.5 (MTL Draw),9.0 (Flavour),8.2 (Battery),9.5 (Portability),8.8 (Value)
The IGET Hot was designed for vapers who wanted a discreet, on-the-go MTL option. At just 10cm long, it fit easily in a jeans pocket or small bag, making it perfect for quick breaks at work or while travelling. Its 600-puff capacity was smaller than other models, but it compensated with bold, concentrated flavours that packed a punch.
I particularly liked the spicy mango variant, which had a sweet yet tangy taste that lingered pleasantly. The MTL draw was tight and responsive, with a throat hit that mimicked light cigarettes. While the battery life was shorter than the Legend or INGOT, it was more than enough for casual vapers. Auvape stocked the IGET Hot in bulk, ensuring it was available for same-day delivery in Melbourne during peak commuting hours.
What Made Auvape VAPE Store’s 2021 MTL Lineup Stand Out for Local Users
Auvape didn’t just stock popular MTL vapes, they tailored their selection to Australian vapers’ unique needs:
Local Compliance: All 2021 models were TPD-certified, with nicotine levels capped at 20mg/mL to meet Australian regulations. This gave vapers peace of mind that they were using safe, legal devices.
Fast Delivery: During 2021, when supply chains were still recovering from COVID, Auvape maintained warehouses in Sydney and Melbourne, offering same-day or next-day delivery to major cities. This was a huge advantage over online stores that relied on international shipping.
Curated Flavours: Auvape focused on flavours that resonated with Australian tastes, like tropical fruits, menthol, and classic Cigarette, instead of niche options that wouldn’t appeal to the mainstream.
Expert Support: Their customer service team included ex-smokers who could guide new vapers to the right MTL device, helping them transition smoothly from smoking to vaping.
