Vapes, or e-cigarettes, were invented in the early 2000s. The first commercially successful e-cigarette was developed by Hon Lik, a Chinese pharmacist, in 2003. His design used a battery-powered heating element to vaporize a liquid solution containing nicotine, which became the foundation for modern vaping devices.
Key Milestones:
2003: Hon Lik patents the first e-cigarette design.
2006: E-cigarettes start gaining popularity in Europe and the United States.
2010s: The market expands significantly, with various devices and e-liquid flavors emerging.
Since then, vaping has evolved with advancements in technology, design, and regulation.
