About vaping
Vaping products (also known as e-cigarettes, vape pens, vapes, mods, tanks, vapourizers or e-hookahs) refer to a range of battery-operated devices that heat a liquid chemical (e-liquid) into an aerosol that is inhaled. Vaping products can resemble pens, USB sticks, cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and everyday items.
The act of using a vaping product is called “vaping”. Vaping products can be used to deliver nicotine, cannabis, and other drugs. The liquid chemical, referred to as e-liquid or e-juice, can consist of nicotine, water, added flavours, and propylene glycol or glycerol.
Some vaping products are single-use disposable devices and others are reusable with a cartridge or tank system. While they vary widely in design and appearance, they all operate similarly and have four main components: a battery, cartridge or tank, a liquid, and an atomizer containing a heating element.
