What are the Components of a Disposable Vape Pen?

Most disposable vapes consist of three main parts: pre-filled pod/cartridge, coil, and battery.

Pre-filled Pod/Cartridge
Most disposables, whether it’s a nicotine disposable or CBD disposable, will come with an integrated cartridge or pod.
Some may be classed as a disposable vape that feature a removable pod/cartridge – but typically, these are what we call pod vapes.
This means there’s not much that can go wrong with connections between the pod and the battery, as it’s all integrated. In addition,
the pod will have a mouthpiece at the top that allows the vapor to enter your mouth as you inhale or draw on the device.

Coil
The atomizer coil in disposables (the heating element) is integrated into the cartridge/pod and therefore, the device.
The coil is surrounded by a wicking material that is soaked (or pre-filled) with e-juice. The coil is the part responsible
for heating the e-liquid as it connects directly to the battery for power, and as it heats up, it will deliver vapor through
the mouthpiece. Coils will have different resistance ratings, and some may be regular round wire coils, but with most
new disposables, a form of mesh coil.

1Battery

The final and very significant component is the battery. Most disposable devices will have a battery with a capacity ranging
from 280-1000mAh. Typically the larger the device, the larger the in-built battery. However, with newer disposables, you may
find they have a small battery that is also rechargeable via USB-C. Generally, the battery size is determined by the coil’s resistance
and the amount of pre-filled e-juice in the disposable. The battery is designed to last as long as the pre-filled vape juice. This isn’t the
case with rechargeable disposable vapes.
