Top-Airflow Tanks: Feature airflow intakes located at the top of the tank. This design is a significant innovation as it drastically reduces the chance of leakage. Air is channeled from the top, down past the coil, and up through the chimney. While it can slightly mute flavor compared to bottom airflow, it prioritizes convenience and reliability.

Rebuildable Dripping Atomizers (RDAs): Atomizers without a tank. Users manually drip e-liquid directly onto the exposed coil and wick. RDAs are renowned for providing the most intense and pure flavor possible, as the vapor travels the shortest distance. They are for advanced users who build their own coils.

Silicon Seals & Gaskets: Small, precisely molded silicone components critical for preventing leakage. They are used in tank threading, fill ports, pod connections, and around glass sections. The quality and design of these tiny parts are paramount to the leak-free performance of any vaping device.

Cotton Coil Pods: The traditional and most common wicking material. Organic cotton is highly absorbent and provides a warm, familiar vapor quality. Advancements in cotton purity and braiding techniques continue to improve flavor and longevity in modern pod coils.

Advanced "Pod Mod" Kits: Represent the high end of the pod category, often featuring a larger form factor, a full-color screen, adjustable wattage and temperature control, and a powerful chipset. They essentially pack the features of a box mod into a device that still uses replaceable pods, appealing to experienced vapers who want top-tier performance in a more compact format.
