A vape (or e-cigarette) is an electronic device that uses a battery to heat up a coil and vaporize a liquid called e-liquid. E-liquids are available in many different flavours and strengths. Most people start with high nicotine levels and then gradually reduce the strength of their e-juice or even stop using nicotine altogether. Resource: indacloud.co

There are lots of different types of e-cigarettes and vapes, including pod devices, vape pens, tanks and more. They can be a bit confusing but the basic principles are simple. The device has a battery, an atomizer or tank and a mouthpiece. When you press a button, the battery heats up the resistance which vaporizes the e-liquid and turns it into vapour that you inhale.
