Electronic cigars are vaping devices designed with a shape and presentation inspired by traditional cigars. Unlike a combustible cigar, an electronic cigar uses a powered heating element to create an aerosol from an e-liquid or a pre-filled pod. It does not burn tobacco. Vaping is not risk-free, and liquids containing nicotine are addictive.
What makes an electronic cigar rechargeable?
A rechargeable electronic cigar uses a battery that can be charged for repeated use. This is different from a single-use device, which is discarded when its battery or liquid is exhausted. Rechargeable does not necessarily mean refillable: some devices use replaceable pre-filled pods, while others allow the user to refill a reservoir with suitable e-liquid.
How do pods and refillable systems differ?
A pod system uses a cartridge designed for a compatible battery. Depending on the model, a pod may be pre-filled or refillable. A refillable system instead lets the user add an e-liquid to a suitable reservoir. Compatibility matters: batteries, pods and liquids are not automatically interchangeable between devices or product ranges.
What should you check before choosing a device?
- Battery and charging: check whether a battery is included, its charging method and the manufacturer's instructions.
- Pod or reservoir: check whether the product includes a pod, uses a refillable reservoir, or requires separately purchased components.
- E-liquid: verify compatibility, ingredients and nicotine strength using the relevant product label.
- Maintenance: follow the product instructions for cleaning, charging and replacing components.
XO Havana's two product formats
XO Havana offers the XO Eminence electronic cigar in several configurations, including options with or without a battery and a Full Kit. E-liquid is sold separately. The separate XO Havana Pod System range includes Cubana and Venecia pods; the pod-only products do not include a battery. A Pod System Starter Kit combines a compatible rechargeable battery with a Cubana pod.
The brand also offers cigar-inspired e-liquids, including Cubana, Gold and Silver. Check the individual product pages rather than assuming that any liquid can be used with any device.
A note on responsible use
Vaping products are intended for adults and are not harmless. Nicotine is addictive. Keep devices and e-liquids away from children, follow local rules and dispose of batteries and electronic components using appropriate collection services.
