Vape cup

The term "Vape Cup" can refer to three distinct things depending on the context: one is a cannabis extract vaporization device, another is the design style of a disposable electronic cigarette, and the third is an operation technique within the electronic cigarette community.

Cannabis extract vaporization device: Vape Cup
In the medical and recreational cannabis fields, "vape cup" specifically refers to a type of tabletop vaporization device. Its core design allows users to inhale vapor as if they were drinking a beverage, rather than directly smoking.

Working principle: These devices typically have a base for heating cannabis oil cartridges (510 interface) or concentrates, and the produced vapor rises and fills a glass cup. Users then hold the cup and "drink" the vapor.

Representative products: Zenco is a well-known brand in this category, often described as a "vape cup". Other brands such as Katalyzer Dab Cup, The Chalice, and ACE Cup also fall into this category. They usually emphasize an elegant ritual and controlled inhalation rhythm.

Disposable electronic cigarette design style: Vape Cup / Milk tea cup
In the nicotine electronic cigarette market, "Vape cup" mainly refers to disposable electronic cigarettes with an appearance designed like a cup (such as milk tea cups, ice cream cups, coffee cups). This design was initially intended to attract young users and is commonly referred to as "milk tea cup" in China.

Product features: These products are usually brightly colored and cute in design. Many also come with a lanyard, allowing them to be hung as a piece of jewelry. They are mostly unbranded products, of poor quality, and are illegal fruit-flavored electronic cigarettes sold in China, as the Chinese national standards have banned the sale of flavored electronic cigarettes except for tobacco flavors.

"Vape Cup" in the legal market: In some markets that allow flavored electronic cigarettes, there are brands that directly name their products as "Vape Cup". For example, Vape Cup Disposable is a pre-filled 5% nicotine salt disposable device with 6 flavors, priced at approximately $14.99, requiring no charging or refilling. Ecigator has also launched Pikup and Tikup, cup-shaped disposable electronic cigarettes, imitating the designs of ice cream cups and coffee cups respectively.
