When entering the world of vaping the massive selection of different styles and types of devices available can be a bit overwhelming. Our goal is to help evaluate your needs in order to streamline the process of selecting the device that's best for you. To do this we will examine the different styles of devices and what type of vaper they suit most so you are able to choose the right device with confidence.

There are a few basic parts that all vaping devices have in common. Often they look different in appearance from one another, but perform the same basic functions. Let’s take a look at their different parts.

• Vape Tanks: This part of the device houses the wicks, e-liquid and heating coil.

• Vape Coils: a replaceable assembly or section of wire that has been wound into a spring like coil shape. The coils are then wicked with an absorbent material, like cotton, which absorbs the e-liquid. The wire coils(s) are then heated to vaporize the e-liquid on the wicks.

• Batteries: This powers the device or Mod, some devices use an integrated battery while the others use replaceable cells.

• Vape Mods: The device housing batteries that connects and transfers power to the clearomizer/atomizer.

• E-Juice: A mixture of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, food flavorings, and sometimes nicotine which is heated to create vapor for inhalation.

Pen Style Devices / eGo

Pen style ecigs devices are slightly larger than cig-a-likes but offer a larger battery for longer life and usually come with a clearomizer style tank. These devices are often inexpensive and simple to use. While they do have a longer battery life and the tank helps to eliminate refilling as quickly. Some Pen style devices allow the user to adjust the voltage allowing for a more customizable experience, but similar to the cig-a-like they also tend to use coils on the high end of the resistances used in vaping and as such do not provide a lot of vapor or the greatest flavor.

These devices are currently the most popular devices on the market due to their effectiveness and wide array of features including the emergence of high power VV/VW devices. Some of these types of device use an internal battery. It is still very common for this type of device to use one or more replaceable IMR or INR hybrid lithium batteries. Users can adjust their output power by adjusting their voltage, wattage or in some cases both. This gives a much larger range of output options, compatible atomizers and greater customization overall.

Temperature controlled devices are the newest devices on the scene. These devices work by detecting the change in the coil's resistance as it heats. It then limits the power based on the user’s setting to prevent the coil from heating past the specified threshold. These are the most effective and safest devices currently available.

Mechanical Devices

Mechanical mods are very simplistic in design. Their construction has no wires or circuitry and very few moving parts that can wear out or go bad. These devices are very rugged and durable. Because of their lack of protection and safety features they are also potentially dangerous in the hands of an inexperienced user. The lack of safety features allows the users of these devices the ability to push the limits of vaping. These devices are only recommended for advanced users with appropriate knowledge of battery safety, ohms law and other associated electrical concepts.

Sub-Ohm Clearomizers / Tanks

Like the clearomizers described above these sub-ohm atomizers are intended to function with sub-ohm resistance coils, have substantially larger juice inlets to the coils and a much larger airflow that's almost always adjustable. These atomizers are also designed to resist the heat generated by sub-ohm vaping. Sub-ohm clearomizers are prefect for any user who desires greater flavor or vapor production of sub-ohm vaping without the hassle of building your own coils.

Coil Resistance and Why It Matters:

Coils for your device can come in various resistances. Some people prefer different coil resistances. Standard resistance coils are typically considered those that are above 1.0Ω. Sub-Ohm coils are those that measure less than 1.0Ω. Each have their pros and cons however it seems more and more vapers are moving towards sub-ohm coils. Let’s look at the pros and cons of a lower resistance coil.

Pro

A lower resistance coils are typically larger and have more surface area. The larger surface area allows for more juice to be in contact with the coil resulting in increased flavor and vapor production.

Cons

A lower resistance coil will take more power to operate. This results in shorter battery life per charge, more frequent charging and reduced overall lifespan for your batteries.
Lower resistance coils will also generate more heat. The lower the resistance the warmer the vapor will be. This could be considered a pro to some but only to a certain point. Too much heat can cause burnt wicks, burnt e-liquid, battery damage, or even physical burns.
