What are vape pens? What types are there?
A vape pen is a portable, battery-powered device used to inhale vaporized substances such as e-liquids (nicotine or nicotine-free), CBD oil, or other herbal extracts. Due to their slim, pen-like shape, vape pens are discreet and easy to use, making them ideal for those switching from traditional smoking to vaping, as well as for users who prefer a portable smoking experience.
The main components of an e-cigarette pen
- Battery: Provides power to the device and can be internal or removable.
- E-liquid tank or cartridge: used to store e-liquid or oil.
- Atomizer/heating coil: Heats the liquid to create vapor.
- Mouthpiece: The part used to inhale steam.
- Control buttons (optional): Used to turn the device on/off or adjust settings.
