CAPACITY EXPLAINED
30K, 60K, 100K and 200K are shorthand for manufacturer-estimated puff counts. They help group products, but they are not an exact time period or a performance guarantee.
The letter K means thousand: 30K is about 30,000 and 100K about 100,000 estimated puffs. Actual use can vary significantly with draw length, power mode, airflow, battery behaviour and individual habits.
Why the advertised figure is an estimate
A puff is not a fixed measurement. Short laboratory draws and longer real-world draws use different amounts of liquid and battery energy.
The figure is therefore best used to compare the intended capacity class of devices from similar listings, not to calculate an exact number of days.
Modes can change the comparison
Normal and turbo or boost modes can have separate manufacturer estimates. Higher output can produce a stronger draw while reducing the estimated total.
For multi-flavour devices, capacity may be described for the complete device rather than for each individual flavour channel. Read the wording carefully.
A better way to compare capacity
Compare puff estimate together with number of flavours, charging method, operating mode, screen indicators and device size. Then verify that the price and SKU refer to the same configuration.
If two listings use different test language, avoid treating the larger number as a precise scientific advantage.
Final checklist
- Read K as thousands, not as a time period.
- Check whether the figure is total or mode-specific.
- Compare devices using similar modes and descriptions.
- Review flavour count, battery and charging.
- Confirm the exact model and variation SKU.
- Do not convert the estimate into guaranteed days.
Editorial method: Puff figures are presented as manufacturer estimates. Nebulux does not convert them into guaranteed consumption or laboratory results without a documented, comparable test method.
