What is vaping?
“Vaping” is a term introduced by the electronic smoking device industry to refer to any electronic "vaporizer", such as E-cigs, Vapes, vape pens, vaporizers, and E-hookahs. Key terms:
- Wax
- Pen
- Cartridge (cart)
- Juuling
- Vape
- Hit
- Battery
- Indica
- Sativa
Juuling
Juul devices look like USB drives. The device heats up oils to create a vapor that is inhaled by the user.

Wax pens
Wax pen use is more common in this area than Juuling. Wax pens are different from vape pens due to the contents in the cartridge. Marijuana wax is more concentrated and is able to be vaporized and inhaled from the pen.
