9-Different Types of Vapes You Should Know About

The first thing to understand about different vapes is that there are two main categories of vapes.

1. Nicotine vapes: handheld devices powered by lithium-ion batteries designed to mimic the sensation of smoking without combustion. Nicotine options are customizable from 0% up to 5%, with flavors ranging from tobacco to desserts to unflavored.
2. Cannabis/CBD vapes: portable battery-powered or larger desktop devices powered either by batteries or electrical power supplies that heat the material. These devices are used with CBD, THC, or other botanicals, from dry herb to concentrates.

There are other substances that people vape. Like various herbs and vitamins; some daring souls choose to even vaporize coffee. Many of those products and activities are on the fringes, but the devices used are no different from nicotine or cannabis vapes—they’re just different substances that happen to “work” in the devices.

There’s overlapping between cannabis and nicotine vapes, like the classic vape pen which functions in both realms. Which may explain why it’s the most popular type of vape in existence.

While all nicotine vapes can be called “e-cigarettes”, that term is most commonly used for small devices that look similar to a cigarette in size and shape. But nicotine vapes don’t stop there.
