WHAT IS A VAPE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Jun 05, 2024 • 2 min read
How do vapes work?
Vapes come in many different shapes and sizes. These devices are tailored to different preferences and experience levels, from devices that are designed to be simple and easy-to-use, to others with a raft of customization options that are geared towards more advanced and experienced adult nicotine consumers. There are two main types of vape devices: disposable devices and pod vapes (also called closed-system vape devices). Here, we look at how these vapes actually work.
So, what's a vape?
A vape is an electric device with a heating element. It contains a cartridge of liquid (made up of nicotine, flavourings and other ingredients) which is heated to a vapour and inhaled.
How does a vape work?
Let’s get technical. There are three main parts to a vape: a tank or pod containing the e-liquid, a heating chamber or vaporizer, and finally, the power source, e.g. a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Vapour is formed by heating the e-liquid from a resistance heating element. When you inhale or press the button, this triggers a sensor inside the device. The vaporizer then heats the e-liquid, and that becomes vapour you can inhale.
So, what's e-liquid?
YE-liquid (or vape liquid) is what goes into your vape - it’s used to create an inhalable vapour when heated. The e-liquid in a vape is important because it supplies the flavour, the mouth feel and can contain nicotine, all of which creates your overall experience as an adult nicotine consumer. Rechargeable vape devices, like the Vuse PRO Smart, use pods that are pre-filled with different flavour e-liquids that you can swap out depending on your preference. Disposable vapes, like the Vuse GO disposable vape range, are pre-filled with one flavour and are disposed of once used.
How do vape batteries work?
Vape batteries are not your standard, everyday batteries – they are powerful lithium-ion batteries. Many adult nicotine consumers opt for a rechargeable vape device which can be charged easily at home, just like your phone or other electronic devices. Disposable vapes also contain disposable batteries.
How does a disposable vape work?
Many adult nicotine consumers prefer a disposable vape as it’s quick and convenient. It comes out of the box already pre-charged and pre-filled, so you just consume and once you have no e-liquid or charge left, you dispose of it in a responsible way.
