A Nicotine vape pen has a power source that heats up a tank or cartridge that holds e-cigarette liquid which is inhaled by the user when taking a breath. The user then exhales as a normal function of breathing and produces a cloud of aerosolized e-cigarette liquid. Vape pens are battery-powered devices that are pocket-sized, easily concealed devices.
Vape pens are either rechargeable or disposable. A rechargeable vape pen is a battery-powered device used for vaping with a variety of atomizers and cartridges that can be refilled and recharged after use. A disposable vape pen is an all-in-one unit comprised of an internal battery, a pre-filled tank and a coil. They are neither rechargeable or refillable, and are disposed of when depleted. Disposable vape pens have become the most common types in schools because they are not regulated under the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rules for vape pens.
Vape pens are also either draw activated or push button. Draw-activated vape pens are activated when the user inhales from them so there are no buttons to push and no on/off switch. They are the easiest type of vape pens to use. Push-button vape pens need to be turned on before use. This is typically done by pressing the power button multiple times to activate it.
