Disposable Vape Terminology 101

The world of vaping can feel shrouded in mystery, especially for newcomers. But fear not! This beginner's guide to disposable vape terminology will equip you to navigate the world of disposable vapes with confidence.

 

Disposable Vape Terminology: Key Terms Explained

  • Disposable Vape: These pre-filled, single-use devices are perfect for on-the-go vaping. Once the e-liquid (flavorful liquid) or battery is depleted, simply discard it responsibly.
  • E-Liquid: This is the heart of the vaping experience, containing propylene glycol (PG) for flavor and throat hit, vegetable glycerin (VG) for vapor production, flavorings, and (often) nicotine. Nicotine salt, a smoother form of nicotine, is popular in disposable vapes.
  • Number of Puffs: This indicates the estimated number of inhales you can expect from a disposable vape before it's done.
  • Puff Activation: Many disposables feature puff activation, eliminating the need for buttons. Simply inhale, and enjoy!
  • Vaping Styles: Explore two basic vaping styles:
    • MTL (Mouth-to-Lung): Mimics the traditional cigarette experience with a tighter draw and throat hit.
    • DTL (Direct-to-Lung): Involves inhaling vapor directly into the lungs for a smoother, airier experience.
  • Coil & Wick: The coil, powered by the battery, vaporizes the e-liquid absorbed by the wick, creating the delicious vapor you inhale.
  • Battery & mAh: The battery is the disposable vape's power source. Milliampere-hours (mAh) signifies battery capacity. Higher mAh translates to longer vaping sessions.
  • PG & VG: Propylene glycol (PG) enhances flavor and throat hit, while vegetable glycerin (VG) produces the satisfying vapor clouds.
  • Flavor Profile: This describes the taste and aroma of an e-liquid, ranging from fruity and dessert flavors to menthol and tobacco.
  • Throat Hit: This refers to the sensation in your throat during a vape puff, often influenced by nicotine strength.

Make Informed Choices with Confidence

Understanding these terms empowers you to make informed decisions when choosing and using disposable vapes. Here are some additional tips:

  • Start Low, Go Slow: Begin with a low nicotine level to avoid any discomfort.
  • Find Your Flavor: Explore the vast array of e-liquid flavors to discover what suits your taste buds.
