Both e-cigarettes and vapes are alternatives to tobacco smoking. But many people don’t know the difference between the two. Here are the differences between the two.
E-cigarettes
It started in 2003 by a Chinese pharmacist named Hon Lik. E-cigarettes were designed to imitate the look and feel of smoking cigarettes. They look similar to the traditional cigarette but have three parts: a cartomizer, a silicon mouthpiece, and battery. When the user inhales, the end of the battery glows. This resembles the burning tip of a cigarette. The cartridge within the cartomizer contains the e-liquid.
Vapes
They were invented after e-cigarettes. They have captured the market and are now more popular than e-cigarettes. They look like a large fountain pen. They offer customizable options. There is a large battery on one end, a mouthpiece, and a clear reservoir tank in the middle. They offer more choice of flavors, e-liquid supply, and tastes. You can mix and match if you want to. They also deliver nicotine more smoothly. They have transparent cartomizer so you can tell how much e-liquid it is left. In the case of e-cigarettes, it is hard to tell the amount of e-liquid left in the reservoir tank. They are refillable, whereas e-cigarettes are disposable. So, vapes are cheaper in the long run.
Whether you choose e-cigarettes or vapes depends on your personal preference. You should read reviews and choose the best brand for e-cigarettes or vapes. If you want something to look like a cigarette, then you should go for e-cigarettes. If you want something cost effective, then you should choose vapes.
