Vape bar

"A vape bar" usually refers to a disposable electronic cigarette, also known as a "vape cartridge" or a "one-time small cigarette".
Its most distinctive feature is that it can be used immediately upon purchase and discarded after use. It is the simplest and most convenient type of electronic cigarette available on the market.
⚙️ Key Features
Single-use: The device is pre-filled with e-liquid and the battery is pre-charged. Once the e-liquid runs out or the battery runs out of power, the entire device is discarded and cannot be recharged or refilled with e-liquid.
The operation is extremely simple: there are no switches or buttons. It works in the "draw-activated" mode. You just need to take a puff like you would with a regular cigarette, and the device will start working automatically.
Compact and portable design: The overall shape is usually very compact, resembling a fluorescent pen or a USB drive, making it easy to carry around.
Measuring lifespan by the number of uses: The lifespan of a product is usually measured in "puffs" (口数). For example, a product may be designed to allow 600 puffs. However, the actual number of puffs can vary depending on individual usage habits (such as the duration of each inhalation).
?? Market Status and Popular Brands

Elf Bar: A very popular brand, its classic model usually offers an experience of approximately 600 puffs. Now, they have also launched products like "Elf Bar join one ice-cold 20,000", which are large-capacity ones that can be replaced with cartridges and allow for about 20,000 puffs.

?? Alternative option: A more cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution
If you think "Vape bar" is not cost-effective or not environmentally friendly enough, you can consider the following alternatives:
Rechargeable Pod System: This is the closest alternative. The device can be reused and all that is needed is to replace the pre-filled e-liquid pod.
