New vapers are often drawn towards ecigarettes as their entry to the vaping world. These devices are often quite simple to use, portable, and affordable. These factors are important for new vapers, and while many e-cigs are purchased and used by beginners, more experienced vapers also enjoy using these devices as a backup or a more compact vaping option.
Many newer vapers may not recognize these devices visually as ecigarettes but the vape industry has evolved the style of newer ecigarettes and has moved towards more technologically advanced options. We are focusing on closed pod systems in this article, a newer trend in ecigarettes. They are designed to produce a similar experience to traditional cigarettes with increased ease of use and simplicity.
Why choose a closed pod system?
Pod systems are easy to use, affordable, and quite compact. Closed Pod systems are a more streamlined experience compared to other devices. They operate by inserting a prefilled pod or cartridge into the device – and the device is ready to go. These factors definitely make pod systems appealing to existing vapers, but for new vapers, these factors are often even more appealing. The best closed pod systems also present excellent options to new vapers as it allows them to try vaping without having any experience with larger or more complicated devices and do not have to worry about choosing an eliquid and filling a tank or pods.
These features of pod devices that appeal to new vapers are also perfect for more experienced vapers who are looking for a backup device to use in different situations that require more discretion or for when a larger device may not be suitable. As any vaper knows, having a backup device is often necessary as batteries can be easily drained and bulky devices are anything but discreet.
