What Are Vape Pens?

Vape pens are special types of e cigarette explicitly designed for a smoking-like experience. They consist of a battery, a heating element, and a cartridge or tank filled with e-liquid. These feature a pen-like or a cig-like shape that’s easy to hold and manage. Pen kits offer numerous features, including adjustable nicotine levels, ergonomic designs, and long battery life.

How to Choose the Best Vape Pens?

Understand your unique preferences, vaping style, and all the features you’d like to enjoy with the vaping pen. You may find a lot of options in the store or online vape shops, but it’s important to consider several factors before purchasing one. Here are some tips on choosing the best vape pen for your needs:

  • Know Your Vaping Style: If you’re transitioning from smoking, an MTL kit might be ideal. MTL pens work best with higher-PG e-liquids, which provide a stronger throat hit. However, if you prefer a slight throat hit with a blend of the slight direct-to-lung draw, look for RDTL vaping devices.
  • Consider Battery Life: Look for a vaping pen with enough battery life for your daily usage. If you’re a frequent vaper, you may want a larger battery (in the range of 1500mAh to 3000mAh) for longer sessions without needing to recharge.
  • Understand the types: The two main types are prefilled and refillable vaping kits. The prefilled ones come in pods that are already filled with liquid. Easy to set up, these devices are ideal for beginners. The second type, refillable kits, require you to fill the replacement pod once the e-liquid is over, hence offering you customisation. Refillables are ideal for experienced vapers.

Along with all this, don’t forget to check the affordability and price of vape pens. Compare the price of multiple vapes, see which one comes with additional perks (like free e-liquid or same-day dispatch), and then choose the one that offers you the most value for your money.

Compatible E-Liquids With Vape Pens

There are numerous e-liquids available in the market, i.e., shortfill, nicotine salts, freebase, and others. Knowing which one to choose for your specific type of vape pen is important because each is designed to deliver a unique experience. For example, e-liquids with a higher proportion of VG are ideal for mod boxes with low-resistance coils but not for pen-style kits.

Even if you try high VG e-liquids with vape pens, you’ll end up ruining the entire flavour and vapour production. Most modern vaping kits, including popular models such as the Aspire Pockex AIO Kit, Innokin Endura T18 II Kit, and others, are compatible with specific types of e-liquids, usually those with a lower VG (vegetable glycerin) ratio, as they are designed for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping.

The Aspire Pockex AIO Kit is a popular choice for vapers looking for a compact and simple vaping experience. This device works best with e-liquids that have a high concentration of PG (propylene glycol), usually around 50-60%. When choosing e-liquids for the Pockex, opt for flavours with moderate nicotine strength (such as 3mg to 12mg) to enhance the experience. The Innokin Go Z 13W Starter Kit and the Innokin Go Max 80W Starter Kit are also designed to work well with higher-PG e-liquids, providing a satisfying vape that mimics the feeling of smoking.

Frequently Asked Questions For Vape Pens

What's the difference between a vape and a vape pen?

Pen-style kits and vapes are both electronic devices, but are slightly different from each other. Like, the vaping pens are cig-like kits that deliver a throat hit and a vaping experience that’s similar to traditional smoking. On the other hand, a vape is a broader term that can also refer to larger devices like box mods for a DTL experience.

Where to buy a vape pen?

You can buy pen kits from reputable online shops, like Alectrofag. They offer a wide range of options for both MTL and DTL experience. We offer MHRA-approved products that are fully TPD-compliant. They offer refillable and prefilled kit options to help you choose the one that best fits your unique vaping style.

How to use a vape pen?

Using a vape is easy, and if you want to enjoy an optimal experience, you’ll have to ensure that the device is fully charged before vaping. Fill the tank with vape juice, ensure the coil is installed properly, and press the button to activate. Test the flavour with a few inhales, and if it offers poor flavours, change the coil immediately. Once the device is ready, you can start your vaping session.

How to refill a vape pen?

In order to fill a kit, it’s important to turn it off. Once done, remove the pod from the device and locate the cap. Unscrew the cap to pour the fluid. Screw the pod back onto the device and wait for a few minutes to let the e-liquid saturate. Be cautious while filling and don’t overfill the tank.

How do vape pens work?

Pen kits, also known as electronic cigs, consist of a battery that powers the pod and heats the e-liquid. The e-liquid is absorbed by a cotton wick inside the coil. When you activate the device by pressing the button (or automatically by inhaling), the coil heats up, turning the e-liquid into vapour.

What is the best vape pen?

The best vape pen depends on individual preferences and needs. Some of the top features to look for include battery life, ease of use, customisable settings, and portability. Reviews from trusted sources, as well as recommendations from fellow vapers, can help you find the perfect kit based on your preferences.

Are vape pens refillable?

Yes, most of them are refillable, especially those with tanks or pods. Refillable pens allow users to refill the tank with e-liquid when it runs out, which can be more cost-effective than using disposable pods. Some kits, however, are designed for single use and cannot be refilled.

Can you take vape pens on a plane?

Yes, you can take vaping devices on a plane, but there are certain restrictions. Vaping pens usually have lithium-ion batteries, which is why they are only allowed to be carried in hand or other carry-on bags, but not in checked luggage. It’s important to remove any e-liquid from the tank to avoid spills. Many airlines have specific rules about using e-cigarettes on board, so it's important to follow those guidelines.

Are vape pens bad for you?

A pen vape is an electronic device that doesn’t burn carbon monoxide like traditional cigarettes. Hence, they are considered a safer alternative to smoking. They provide a variety of flavours and nicotine strengths, helping users gradually reduce their intake. Their ease of use and cig-like anatomy are ideal for those transitioning from smoking to vaping.
