The Different Parts Of A Vape Pen, Explained

Vaping is a very good alternative to smoking, with more people making the switch every single day. One of the best things about vaping is that you get a nice choice of vape kits/machines to choose from.

Understanding the parts of your vaping machine is a great way to really heighten your vaping experience. One of the most popular (and old school) forms of vaping is through a vape pen. We’ve put together this article to help you understand the different parts of a vape pen, including its vape liquid, battery, and more.

The Main Parts Of Your Vape Pen

These are the main components that make up your vape pen:

1. The Battery
   A vapes power and capabilities is decided by the battery it houses. It is the battery’s ability to convert stored electric energy into heat that vaporizes the dry flower, oil, or extract.
   You will find that a majority of vapes make use of  lithium ion batteries that can easily be charged using a USB. The lithium ions high energy density generates the high temperatures required for the function of the vape.
   Batteries for vape pens are available in a variety of styles, sizes, and specifications, ranging from slim ink pen styles to large, powerful units, as well as everything in-between. Vapes that are discrete and portable are preferred by some consumers, while customizable units are preferred by others.

2. The Atomizer / Heating Aspect
   The atomizer is an integral part of the vape pen as it is responsible for the conversion of the battery’s electrical energy into heat energy. It is also in this part of the vape that the material to be vaped is vapourised.
   The atomizer in wax or oil vape pens is usually a set of coils, which may be wrapped around a ceramic or cotton wick. When power is supplied to the coil, it turns red due to the heat. This emnese heat is mostly directly and sometimes indirectly responsible for the vapourization of the material..
   The battery of a dry flower vape pen operates similarly, by generating heat across the ground flowers to bring the cannabinoid to its vaporization point. For vaping dry flower, the heating element in the vaporizer is used to evenly apply heat to the ground dry material, in order to avoid burning the material.

3. The Tank / Chamber
   The tank is essentially what it sounds like, it is the reservoir that contains the vapable material. Oil (liquid) vapes normally come with a tank, if they are refillable, or a cartridge, if they are disposable, along with an atomizer. These are usually referred to as the chambers in wax or dry herb vape pens. In any case, this is the part on your vape pen where you put your vape material.
   You load your vape material directly onto the atomizer with some wax vapes that do not have a chamber or tank. The fact that these types of vape pens hold so little extract means that they need reloading more often.

4. The Mouthpiece
   The mouthpiece of the vape pen is its tip, where the vapour is funneled to be inhaled by the user. There are a variety of mouthpiece shapes available, but they are usually designed to provide a comfortable fit on the lips.

5. Vape Liquid
   Though vape liquid isn’t an in-built part of your vape pen, it is still an integral element of it. There is no vaping without vape liquid, as this is the element of your vape pen that gets “atomized” into the vapour that you inhale.
   The best part about vape liquid is, that there are so many choices, you can switch it up every now and then if you feel bored of one flavour.
