Want to understand how a puff works? We explain everything about this easy-to-use e-cigarette.
Over the past few years, the puff has become a popular e-cigarette thanks to its ease of use and ultra-compact format. Before it was banned in France, it came in a ready-to-use disposable format, ideal for occasional use without adjustments or maintenance.
But the market has evolved. It is now available in the form of rechargeable puffs, which are more durable and economical while remaining accessible to beginners.
How does a puff work? What are its components? Why has it won over so many vapers? We tell you everything you need to know about this little device that has become essential in the vaping world!
What is a puff?
Definition of a puff
The term "puff" comes from English, meaning a "draw" or "drag", referring to the action of smoking a cigarette. Ready to use, a puff already contains e-liquid, its battery is pre-charged and no button is needed to vape. The puff was designed to make vaping easier, especially for beginners.
Why are puffs so popular?
- No button for easy use;
- Wide choice of fruity, classic and menthol flavours;
- Small, portable and compact format;
- Perfect for trying vaping.
How does a puff work?
A puff works using an automatic mechanism: inhaling activates the coil, which heats the e-liquid to produce vapour.
The essential components
- A built-in rechargeable battery;
- A prefilled liquid cartridge;
- A pre-installed coil;
- No button or settings.
To give you an idea, a puff allows an average of between 300 and 600 puffs, depending on the model.
The role of nicotine
To allow vapers to gradually adapt while quitting smoking, the nicotine strength of puffs varies from 0 mg to 20 mg depending on the puff.
Automatic vaping
No handling is required: simply inhaling activates vaping with the puff. This mechanism makes it very intuitive to use, even for beginners.
What is the difference between a puff and an e-cigarette?
Unlike puffs, an e-cigarette is fully rechargeable and long-lasting. It consists of a tank, a coil, an e-liquid chosen according to nicotine requirements and a battery that is often more powerful.
A puff, on the other hand, requires minimal maintenance, including changing the coil approximately every three weeks and recharging the battery more or less regularly. For the vast majority of models, you will also need to choose an e-liquid compatible with your tastes and nicotine strength.
Although more expensive to buy, a standard e-cigarette is kinder to your wallet over time, as it is far more durable than a puff.
