There is an LED light that glows when you inhale that resemble the tip of a burning cigarette. The cartridge that is there inside cartomizer is the thing that is known to hold the e-liquid. The cartridge can be disposed after it is empty.

It has a huge battery on one end, a clean reservoir tank in the middle, and a mouthpiece. There is a small button on the side of the battery and you have to press it to engage the heating element that vaporizes the e-juice releasing a flavored vapor.
