What is an electronic cigarette?

It produces an aerosol mist by vaporising liquid solution, known as e-liquid or vape juice. E-cigarettes simulate the experience of smoking a traditional tobacco cigarette without the combustion of tobacco.

Components:

A battery: is the device's power source, usually a rechargeable battery.
Atomizer: The heating element that vaporises the e-liquid.
Tank: Whether refillable or prefilled, an e-liquid tank or cartridge holds the e-liquid.
The mouthpiece is the part where the user inhales the vapour.

Types of E-liquids:

Nicotine-Based: Contains varying nicotine levels.
Nicotine-Free: Contains flavourings and other components but no nicotine.
CBD-Infused: Contains cannabidiol, often used for its purported health benefits.
