[unordered_list style=”tick”]

  • A 3 piece set up requires that you add the e-liquid yourself.
  • 2 piece set ups are often more expensive than 3 piece set ups.
  • 3 piece set up parts – e.g. cartridge, atomizer – will eventually have to be changed.
  • 3 piece set ups allow for a more personalized vape experience in the variety of e-liquids available and the possibility for custom mixes.
  • 3 piece set ups often allow for adjusting the heat setting (wattage/voltage), which can change the flavor and strength of your e-liquid.
