Design and Function
Disposable vapes: These devices are generally all-in-one devices, pre-filled with E-liquid, and designed for single use. They are usually similar in size and shape to traditional tobacco and require no maintenance or recharging. Once the e-cigarette is depleted or the battery runs out, the entire device is discarded.
E-cigarettes with disposable pods: These devices consist of a rechargeable battery assembly and a replaceable electronic pod. The battery component can be reused and recharged, while the pod with e-liquid and coils can be lost after use. The user can replace the empty pod with a new one if necessary.
Cost and convenience

Users only need to replace the pod when the e-liquid runs out, which is more economical than purchasing multiple disposable devices.
