THE BEAM'S LASER TECHNOLOGY. Unlike conventional vaporizers, the Beam uses light to heat rather than metal, and contains no heavy metals or impurities which could leak into whatever you are vaping (3).

In 2026, the vaping market offers several alternatives to traditional metal-bodied devices, primarily driven by a demand for lightweight, discreet, and "eco-friendly" options. Many disposable vapes utilize high-density medical-grade plastics (like PCTG) or hardened polycarbonate shells to house their internal components. Some specialized "lifestyle" brands have introduced vapes with ceramic or wood finishes to appeal to users looking for a natural aesthetic. Additionally, certain pod systems are constructed with glass-reinforced nylon or silicone grips to enhance durability without the weight of aluminum or steel. When looking for non-metal options, ensure the device still utilizes safe, heat-resistant materials for the coil area, as cheap plastics can release toxins if they come into direct contact with high heat.
