Understanding Vape Products
Vape products come in many different shapes, sizes and formats. For someone new to the category, the terminology can sometimes feel confusing.
Terms such as disposable, pod, rechargeable, puff count, e-liquid and nicotine strength are commonly used when discussing vape products. Understanding what these terms mean can make it easier to understand product information and make informed decisions.
Important: Australian laws and regulations relating to vaping products can change. Always check the current requirements that apply to you before using, purchasing or possessing a vaping product.
Common Types of Vape Devices
Vape devices can generally be grouped into several broad categories. The design and features can vary significantly between products.
Disposable Devices
Designed as a compact, self-contained format. Depending on the product, a device may be pre-filled and designed for limited use.
Pod Systems
Compact devices that typically use replaceable or refillable pods. Different systems have different operating requirements.
Rechargeable Devices
Devices equipped with a rechargeable battery. Some products may use replaceable pods, tanks or cartridges.
What Does Puff Count Mean?
Puff count is commonly used by manufacturers to describe the approximate number of inhalations a device may provide under particular testing conditions.
It is important to understand that puff counts are not a guarantee of exactly how long a device will last. Actual usage can vary depending on factors such as puff duration, frequency of use and individual behaviour.
Understanding Vape Flavours
Vape products can be available in a wide range of flavour profiles. Common categories include fruit, berry, mint, ice, tropical and beverage-inspired flavours.
Flavour descriptions are intended to give customers a general idea of the profile of a product. The actual experience can vary between products and individuals.
Understanding Nicotine Information
Nicotine is an addictive substance. Product packaging and descriptions may provide information about nicotine content or strength where applicable.
Anyone considering a nicotine-containing product should understand the potential health risks and the laws governing nicotine products in Australia.
Buying and Using Vape Products in Australia
Australia has specific laws and regulatory requirements relating to vaping products, nicotine and the sale and supply of these products.
Requirements can depend on factors such as the product, nicotine content, intended use and the circumstances of supply. Because regulations can change, customers should refer to current Australian government information for the latest requirements.
