Look at all those kids vaping over there. When did this thing catch on?

It’s been around for a while, but it’s all the rage now.

The whole time they were telling us that teen smoking was down, it turns out these kids were vaping instead of smoking.

 I guess the same stigma that applies to cigarettes doesn’t apply to e-cigarettes.

But are they thinking about the long-term health effects?

They’re kids! They just want to look cool. They’re not worried about getting hooked.

That reminds me, have you seen these ads targeting kids? It certainly makes the claim that this product is for adult smokers ring hollow.

Yeah, these companies like Juul want to have their cake and eat it too.

That might explain some of the backlash. Do you think there will be stronger regulations in the future?

Well, they’ve already banned flavored cartridges. But I’m not sure I favor an outright ban.

Why’s that?

 I guess I’m just worried that if they can’t vape, these kids might look for their nicotine fixes in conventional cigarettes.

Well that would certainly be ironic, wouldn’t it?

Difference between E-Cigarette and Vape

1.Basics of E-Cigarette Vs. Vape

E-cigs or electronic cigarettes, in its basic form are simply a combination of rechargeable lithium battery and disposable e-liquid cartridges. Electronic cigarettes are considered one of the best alternatives to traditional cigarette smoking and often referred to as personal vaporizers. They are designed to imitate the look and feel of a real cigarette and even emulate the operation. Vaping, on the other hand, is quite similar to the act of smoking except vapor products are a little larger than electronic cigarettes. Vaping banks on vaporizers to get you enjoy the pleasures of smoking without the effects.

2.Working

An electronic cigarette is a battery-powered device designed to emit vapors that can be inhaled afterwards. The battery is attached to a heating element called an atomizer and a cartridge that holds the nicotine and other liquid and flavorings. In most e-cigarettes, the atomizer and the cartridge are combined into one device called a cartomizer. The battery then powers the atomizer to vaporize the liquid and the contents of the liquid create the ultimate emission. Vaporizers are virtually indistinguishable from electronic cigarettes and unlike e-cigs, they use a tank rather than a cartridge to hold the e-liquid.

3.Variations

There are so many different models of electronic cigarettes available on the market but they all are categorized into three main types: Minis, Vape Pens, and Advanced Personal Vaporizers (APVs) or Mods. One of the most common vaporizers used is a pen-style handheld device called a vape pen which uses a button to activate the heating element. Minis are compact and lightweight e-cigs and a low-cost alternative to smoking which is available in both disposable and rechargeable models. APVs are the next generation of e-cigarettes that are designed for maximum vapor production combined with an extended battery life and other features to provide you the best smoking experience.

4.Flavors

Electronic cigarettes use pre-filled cartridges so they do not accommodate a wide variety of e-juice flavors and manipulating the device to add more flavors is a little tricky. They mostly use menthol, tobacco, and mint to imitate a real smoking experience. Advanced vaporizers are the newest addition to the conventional e-cigarettes that bring you a wide assortment of vape flavors including tobacco, menthol, fruits, desserts, beverages, etc. They can mix and match e-juices to create personalized vape e-cigarettes tailored for their tastes. Unlike e-cigarettes, vaporizers don’t need cartridges thereby reducing the effects of smoking.

5.Battery

The battery portion of an electronic cigarette often has LED attached to the tip which comes in a variety of sizes. Typically, the larger  the battery, the longer the battery life. In common all-in-one e-cigarettes, battery is usually the part onto which the e-liquid delivery systems are attached.  However, not all e-cigs are rechargeable. In advanced personal vaporizers, rechargeable batteries are used that can be removed from the Mod to charge it or replace it with an already charged battery. Mod is a large e-cigarette with a removable battery. Traditional e-cigarettes have non-removable batteries.
