E-Liquids and Vape Products
There are tons of individual vape products available today, and while that’s one of the reasons the market is so huge, it also means a new vape retailer might be confused by all the terminology. Let’s start from the beginning.
E-Liquids and E-Juice
Vaping works by heating up a liquid (called e-liquid or e-juice) to produce vapor which the user inhales. E-liquids are made from varying levels of vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol and contain flavorings and usually nicotine, although some vapers use nicotine-free liquids. The exact composition of an e-liquid depends on the manufacturer, the flavorings used, and the nicotine level selected by the customer.
Coils and Heating
The heating element that vaporizes the e-juice is called a coil, and consists of heat-conducting metal and a cotton wick that pulls the e-juice close to the metal for heating. The e-juice is held in a tank where it can come in contact with the coil as needed. The user can heat the coil and produce vapor by holding down a button or sometimes just by inhaling, as the device senses pressure caused by an inhalation. Coils burn out with time and usage and need to be replaced frequently.

E-Cigarettes and Vape Pens
The exact configuration of the coil, tank, and other parts depends on the type of vaping equipment and the manufacturer. Simpler devices are usually the ones given the designation “e-cigarette” or “vape pen” because of their size and shape. Some e-cigarettes use pre-filled e-liquid flavor pods while others use a small refillable tank.
Vape Mods and Tanks
The more complex vaping devices are called mods, and include a main unit with settings and a fire button, onto which is attached a tank that the user manually fills. Tanks come apart to allow the user to replace the coil. The exact features of mods and tanks vary greatly with the manufacturer. Serious vapers most often use mods because they offer the highest degree of customization: choice of mod itself, choice of tank, and choice of coil type in addition to the typical choice in flavor.
Rebuildable (RBA) Coils
Some vapers prefer to make their own coils rather than using the pre-manufactured ones available from their favorite brand. This requires a supply of metal wire and organic cotton, plus a tank compatible with rebuilt coils. RBA platforms are available for many mods and tanks.
