Step 1 of 2: E-Cigarette / Vaping Systems

1. Closed Pod System

A closed pod system uses disposable e-liquid pods. These devices can be recharged and the disposable pods can be replaced with compatible new pods.

2. Open / Refillables

These systems require vape juice and come in 3 varieties: box mods, pens, and refillable pods. These devices are continuously refilled instead of being disposed.

3. Disposables

These devices are not refillable. They are intended for one-time use and typically contain around 200 puffs.
