Glossary
Use this glossary when a product title or selector uses a term that changes the buying decision. The goal is simple: understand the word, open the right guide, and then confirm the live listing before checkout.
Disposable vape means a complete ready-to-use device. Vape kit means reusable hardware. Pod means a refill or cartridge for a matching battery. Tank and coil belong to refillable hardware and need compatibility checks.
Nic salt and freebase are different e-liquid types. VG/PG describes the base blend that affects thickness, vapour, and device fit. Strength should be chosen from the live product selector and matched to the device style.
MTL means mouth-to-lung, a tighter draw style common with compact pods. DTL means direct-to-lung, a looser draw style common with higher-power devices. Airflow, mode, and wattage change how the device feels and how fast it uses e-liquid or battery.
Flavour is the taste option selected on the live listing. Strength is the nicotine option available for that exact product. Pack size tells you how many pods, coils, or cartridges are included. Resistance, often shown in ohms, helps identify the coil or pod style and should match the device. In stock, sale, and add to cart are live store states, so they can change faster than a guide page.
Brand is the label, such as Geek Bar, STLTH, Flavour Beast, Level X, or Twelve Monkeys. Line or model family is the specific product route inside that brand. The same brand can appear in different formats, so use the brand name together with words like disposable, vape juice, pod, kit, battery, or replacement part.
Pickup, regular delivery, express delivery, and Canada shipping are order options shown at checkout. Checkout shows the available option, fee, and handoff requirement before payment. Valid government photo ID is required at handoff.
Glossary FAQ
Check nic salt, freebase, VG/PG, bottle size, nicotine strength, and whether the device is refillable. A flavour name is not enough because the same flavour style can appear in different bottle types and strengths.
Check brand family, device model, pod pack, cartridge, prefilled, refillable, resistance, and battery. Pods are compatibility products, so the device name matters before flavour or price.
Prefilled pods arrive with e-liquid inside and usually fit a specific device family. Refillable pods are empty pods that need compatible bottled e-liquid and still must match the device.
Model family, puff count, battery, rechargeable, airflow, mode, screen, flavour, and nicotine strength all matter. Puff count is useful for comparison, but it should not be the only decision.
Use the product page first. If the title or selector still does not make the device fit clear, contact Capital Vape Store before checkout so the order does not turn into a wrong pod, wrong bottle, or wrong replacement part.

Some vape terms describe preference. Others describe compatibility. Treat model, resistance, liquid format and nicotine strength as purchase-critical information.
| Term | Plain meaning | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Resistance | Electrical load of a pod or coil, shown in ohms | Affects compatibility, power and draw |
| MTL / DTL | Tighter mouth-to-lung or airier direct-to-lung draw | Changes device, coil and liquid direction |
| Nic salt / freebase | Two nicotine formulations | Must fit the device and selected strength |
| VG/PG | The base-liquid balance | Changes thickness, wicking and vapour |
| Pod pack / starter kit | Replacement cartridge versus device bundle | Determines whether a battery is included |
Model, generation, resistance, pod and coil determine fit. Verify them before flavour or colour.
MTL, DTL, airflow and power describe how the setup feels. They narrow the right hardware family.
Pickup, delivery, express, shipping and pre-order describe fulfilment. The final available route appears at checkout.
If a term changes fit, strength or what is included, stop and verify it. If it only describes colour or flavour family, it comes later.
