Vapes and E-cig are the new alternative to tobacco. Are you a smoker and would like to quit but still have that desire to smoke without the health issues, then this is what you are looking for. But what is the difference between the E-cigarette and vapes and which is better for you?
It’s clear that vaping has many benefits over traditional smoking, but what about standard e-cigs vs. vaporizers? When you walk into a vape shop or browse one online, you’re faced with literally thousands of options—from delicious vape juice to different batteries and brands.
See ref 1 below.
Another one of these options is a standard e-cig versus a personal vaporizer. Standard e-cigarettes, which are the cigarette look-a-likes most commonly associated with vaping, are one of the most popular smokeless devices, though vaporizers are increasingly becoming more mainstream and fashionable amongst experienced vapers.
When it comes to deciding which option is the best for you, it can be helpful to know just a few basic facts about each.
E-Cigarettes
E-Cigarettes
The basic e-cig is where it all got started back in 2003 by a Chinese pharmacist named Hon Lik. His idea was to create a nicotine delivery device that produced inhalable and flavored smoke-like vapor. Thus the modern e-cig was born, designed to evoke the look and feel of smoking cigarettes.
The basic e-cig look-a-like is very similar in size, shape and weight to a traditional cigarette, and contains three parts: the battery, the cartomizer (a combination of the cartridge and the atomizer) and a silicone mouthpiece. An LED light on the end of the battery glows when the user inhales, resembling the burning tip of a cigarette. The cartridge within the cartomizer holds the e-liquid and is usually disposable once empty.
Advantages:
- Look and feel more like traditional cigarettes (can be a pro or con depending on whether that is something you find desirable)
- Many come with pre-filled cartridges—like the VaporFi Express Cherry Crush cartridges—so users don’t have to worry about messy refills
Disadvantages:
- Can be difficult to tell when the cartomizer is almost empty
- Limited battery life and tank capacity due to their size
- Often mistaken for traditional cigarettes, which can result in an awkward confrontations when vaping in public
- Inconsistent nicotine delivery
- Restricted to buying e-liquid and cartomizers from the same manufacturer as the brand of your battery
Vaporizers
Vaporizers
Personal vaporizers are newer to the market than e-cigs, yet they have quickly gained traction and become one of the most popular vaping devices out there. According to the Society for the Study of Addiction (2015), the number of vapers tripling from 2006-2015 – and many of those new vapers are using vaporizers as their device of choice.
Vaporizers, which resemble a large fountain pen more than a cigarette, are considered a step-up from the first-generation e-cigs, and offer vapers more advanced, customizable vaporizer. The vaporizer is composed of a large battery on one end, a clear reservoir tank in the middle and a mouthpiece. By pressing a small button on the side of the battery, the user engages the heating element which vaporizes the e-juice and releases tasty vapor.
Advantages:
- Longer battery life span
- Far more choice of flavors, tastes, and e-liquid supply (able to mix and match)
- Greater customization
- Smoother delivery of nicotine
- A variety of clear tank designs make it easy to tell how much e-liquid you have left
- Refillable, therefore cheaper in the long run than disposable e-cigs
Disadvantages:
- Larger than standard e-cigs
- Look less like traditional cigarettes
- Must refill e-liquid
- More costly to get started than basic e-cig

What’s the bottom line?
see ref 2 below
- E-cigarettes have the potential to benefit adult smokers who are not pregnant if used as a complete substitute for regular cigarettes and other smoked tobacco products.
- E-cigarettes are not safe for youth, young adults, pregnant women, or adults who do not currently use tobacco products.
- While e-cigarettes have the potential to benefit some people and harm others, scientists still have a lot to learn about whether e-cigarettes are effective for quitting smoking.
- If you’ve never smoked or used other tobacco products or e-cigarettes, don’t start.
- Additional research can help understand long-term health effects.
An advantage that I find more tolerable being a none smoker about vapes and E-cigs is the smell. With the various types of liquids available, you no longer have that stuff, smelly, smoky smell that accompanies traditional tobacco filled cigarettes. The produced smoke can be scented with a variety of pleasant aromas from mint to fruit flavors.
Cleaner and safer
Also with Vapes and E-cigs you don’t have the mess of ashes and butts to deal with. How many times haven’t I been to a club, restaurant or outside a store and had to see a smelly butt carelessly discarded on the ground or left smoldering. Can you say fire hazard!!!! This is not an issue, for the most part, with vapes or E-cigs – unless you overcharge them.
Another plus with vapes and E-cigs, there is no waste. If you start to smoking and need to quit for whatever reason, there is no discarded butt or half smoked cigarette to dispose of. Only need to shut down your vape or turn off your E-cig. Simple and easy. Click here to give it a try!!
The ultimate decision is yours as to what your preference will be. No matter the choice I personally believe either E-cigs or vapes to be better than a tobacco product any day.
