How Efficient Are Vapourizers?
Personal vapourizers are taking Canada and the world by storm! Also known as vape pods, mods, electronic cigarettes, e-cigars, e-pipes or simply e-cigs, these devices heat flavoured liquid that may or may not contain nicotine. Users inhale the vapour that is created, and are thus given the nickname "vapers.” Many smokers find vapourizers to be a great alternative to tobacco cigarettes, since they can deliver nicotine much more cleanly than conventional smoking.
Because vapourizers don’t require combustion, they are smokeless. Burning tobacco produces tar, a known carcinogen. Smoke damages the lungs of the smoker – and the dangers of second-hand smoke are well-documented. Tobacco stains fingers and teeth, while smoke clings to breath, clothing, furniture and cars. The yellow residue left behind sticks to walls and ceilings. Cigarettes are also a common cause of fatal home fires. Personal vapourizers, on the other hand, leave no smoke, no tar, no burning butts and virtually no lingering odour.
Personal vapourizers are also significantly more cost-effective than tobacco. E-liquids come in an incredible variety of flavours, and with the rapid growth of vaping, devices, accessories and refills are easier than ever to purchase.
Which Device Is Right for Me?
The efficiency of a vapourizer depends largely on the type of device you choose. There’s a wide range of options, each with its strengths and limitations. Generally, larger and more advanced units deliver vapour more efficiently, but beginners often prefer to start with something simple.
Minis / Cigalikes
Not technically classed as full vapourizers, mini e-cigarettes look and feel like regular cigarettes. They’re discreet, lightweight, and available in both disposable and rechargeable versions that use prefilled cartridges. While they don’t last as long due to smaller batteries and capacity, many smokers like them for their familiarity and easy transition from tobacco.
Midsize / Vape Pens
Vape pens, sometimes called e-Gos, are about the size of a cigar. They typically use refillable tanks, making them cheaper to operate than minis. With longer battery life, larger liquid capacity and customization options (such as coil types, tank styles or coloured casings), vape pens are among the most popular choices.
E-Pipes / E-Cigars / E-Hookahs
These offer a unique twist on vaping, often designed from wood or finished to look traditional. They combine the appeal of pipes or cigars with the modern benefits of vapour, giving users a classic experience without the health risks associated with tobacco.
Mods / Advanced Personal Vapourizers (APVs)
Box Mods and Hybrid Mods are the heavyweights of vaping. Originally improvised by hobbyists, today’s versions are sleek, customizable, and powerful. They feature options like digital displays, adjustable wattage or voltage, intelligent controls, and high-capacity batteries. Mods are the go-to for experienced vapers who want strong vapour, bold flavour and advanced control.
