Vaping devices are electronic tools designed to heat a liquid, often called e-liquid or vape juice, to create an aerosol that users inhale. These devices come in various forms, including e-cigarettes, vape pens, and mods. The liquid typically contains nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals, allowing users to experience a range of tastes and sensations without burning tobacco. Unlike traditional cigarettes, which produce smoke through combustion, vaping devices operate through a battery-powered heating element. This process is generally considered less harmful than smoking, although health experts still caution about the potential risks associated with inhaling vaporized substances.
