The difference between e-cigarettes and vape
Many people wonder how to differentiate between e-cigarettes and a vape, and is a vape the same smoke? Some consider them to be just names for the same thing, but there are big differences between both terms
First, the e-cigarettes
e-cigarettes are a classic vaping device that has been redeveloped to mimic the traditional cigarettes. Instead of a vape or hookah, it has a pod or tank, which is the place where the flavor is packed and the coil is responsible for heating. The main difference is that a vape device supports multiple tanks to suit your preferences. In comparison, e-cigarettes usually only fits into its own dedicated pod, unless there is a series of interchangeable compatible pod kits from a single manufacturer.
There are two types of pod systems or e-cigarettes:
- Pre-packaged, non-refillable pods such as PHIX, HOPO, and the pod must be changed as soon as the flavor is gone
- Refill pods are the ones that are empty and can be refilled with any flavor of your choice, such as Uwell and Vaporesso, and usually the life of the refill pods is about a week, after which you need to change the pod
There are flavors intended for e-cigarettes that have a high nicotine content called Salt Nicotine flavors, the mixing ratio is 50PG/50VG and the flavor is inhaled in the same way as smoking a traditional cigarettes called MTL.

Secondly, the Vape
A vape is a simulation of a traditional shisha or hookah, as opposed to a e-cigarettes, also called an electronic hookah. Vape devices have a large-capacity tank that produces a large amount of energy compared to e-cigarettes devices, making the amount of vapor produced larger, but with lower nicotine concentrations
Multiple tanks can be used on the same e-hookah, adding variety and customization to your experience
There are flavors for vape devices that have a low nicotine content called Freebase flavors, which have a mixing ratio of 30PG/70VG and the flavor is inhaled in the same way as smoking a traditional hookah or hookah called DL.
