What is a Vape?
An electronic cigarette is an electronic device that simulates tobacco smoking. It consists of an atomizer, a power source such as a battery, and a container such as a cartridge or a tank. Instead of smoke, the user inhales vapor. As such, using an e-cigarette is often called “vaping”.
