The internet has become a thriving marketplace for illicit relevant vapes products. This trend is alarming and highlights the need for heightened awareness and stricter regulatory measures.

Some e-cigarette companies target youth through experiential marketing events at music festivals and schools. They often sponsor lounges with device samples, celebrity appearances and social media photo booths.

E-cigarettes

E-cigarettes are electronic devices that vaporize liquids to create an aerosol that the user inhales. They contain four components: a battery, a cartridge or tank that holds the liquid, a heating element and a mouthpiece. While the vapor is less toxic than smoke from traditional cigarettes, it still contains a variety of chemicals and may contain nicotine. The popularity of e-cigarettes among young people has raised concerns about their health risks. Studies suggest that nicotine can damage areas of the brain that control attention and learning, and it may increase the risk for mood disorders and problems controlling impulses.

Nicotine can also irritate the lungs, causing inflammation and damage to the tiny air sacs in the lungs. Inhaling vapor can also cause nicotine to pass into the bloodstream, where it affects the sympathetic nervous system, which triggers the body’s fight-or-flight response and increases heart rate and blood pressure. It can also weaken the immune system and lead to a variety of serious health problems, including lung damage, heart disease and respiratory failure.

ENDS

ENDS are devices that use an e-liquid to deliver nicotine and other chemicals to users when they inhale. The e-liquid may contain tobacco, flavorings, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin or other ingredients. ENDS devices may look like conventional combusted cigarettes, cigars, or pipes, or they can have more distinctive designs, such as those that resemble pens, USB flash drives, or other objects. Because ENDS have been on the market for years, FDA now has more information about the products’ health and safety risks, such as the risk of a fire or explosion. You can report problems with ENDS to FDA through the Tobacco Product Problem Reports page. Retailers must comply with federal rules to sell ENDS and other tobacco products to adults only. See the Tobacco Retail Sales page for more information.

Pod systems

Pod systems are a great way to get started vaping. They’re easy to use and can be used with regular freebase or nicotine salt e-liquids. The main difference is that instead of a cartomiser they have the liquid, coil and wick built into one unit that’s easy to replace when it’s empty.

The Sonder Q is a great example of a simple, compact pod device that works well. It comes with a 2ml pod that can be used with both regular freebase and nicotine salt e-liquids. It has an airflow adjustment slider that’s nice and solid, so you can easily change the airflow from loose to medium MTL draws.

Pods are also much smaller than box mods, making them easier to carry in your pocket or handbag without worrying about leakage. They’re also cheaper than traditional smoking devices, saving you hundreds a month in the long run.

LVE Vapor

The LVE Orion 2 is an excellent choice for vapers who value style, performance and convenience. This pod mod comes with a compact, refillable design and a powerful battery for a satisfying vaping experience. It is also compatible with a variety of different coils and e-liquids.

Its 0.69″ OLED display clearly shows essential vaping data. Its “+” and “-” wattage adjustment keys allow you to easily adjust the device’s power. The Orion 2 also includes a preheat function, which helps you prime the cartridge for an optimal hit.

Its 1500 mAh battery allows you to enjoy your favorite e-liquids for a full day or more without needing to recharge. Its sleek, sturdy zinc alloy construction is durable and comfortable in the hand.
