There are four product types you'll run into, and the name doesn't always tell you which one you're looking at.
A disposable is a complete, sealed device: battery, coil, and e-liquid in one unit. You use it until it's done. Nothing else is needed.
A pre-filled pod holds e-liquid and a coil, but no main battery. It needs a separate battery base to run.
A battery or base is the power half of a pod system. On its own, it has nothing to vape.
A kit is a complete refillable device — battery and an empty pod you fill — sold together. It needs e-liquid, bought separately.
The Gcore Sync system is the clearest example of why this matters, because it comes in two separate products. The Gcore Sync Pod is a pre-filled pod carrying 20mL of 20 mg/mL nicotine salt e-liquid, in ten flavours. The Gcore Sync Pod Battery is the rechargeable base it runs on: a 1,000mAh battery with Type-C charging, BOOST and NORMAL modes, and a curved screen showing a puff percentage indicator. The listing for the battery says it plainly: it's required to run Sync pods.
So the complete first order for this system is both: one Sync Pod Battery, plus one or more Sync Pods. Order only the pods and you have nothing to power them. Order only the battery and you have nothing to vape. After the first order, you reorder only pods; the battery stays with you.
Names can mislead in the other direction too. In our own catalogue, the "Ripper x Battery" is actually a complete refillable kit — a battery paired with a 15mL refillable pod — not just a battery. That's the case where reading the description, not just the title, saves a mistake. If a product page lists a pod capacity in millilitres and says "refillable," it's a kit that needs e-liquid.
A quick checklist before you check out:
Does it contain e-liquid? If not, add e-liquid or pods. Does it have its own main battery? If not, add the matching battery or base. Does the description say "required" or "compatible with"? Check you own or are ordering that item.
Those three questions catch almost every mismatch.
Back to the Sync system for a moment, because its split design has advantages worth knowing. Keeping the battery means you're not discarding a working rechargeable battery every time the e-liquid runs out. Switching flavour is a pod swap. And the battery's screen, with its puff percentage indicator, tells you how far through the current pod you are — a handy reorder signal when deliveries take a couple of days.
The pods are 20 mg/mL, which is the standard for mouth-to-lung pod systems and also Canada's legal maximum. No stronger vaping product can be sold anywhere in the country.
Delivery to Truax runs from our Saskatoon location by tracked courier, with tracking sent when the order ships. Allow a couple of days; same-day delivery is limited to Saskatoon's city limits. Because Truax is unincorporated, use a full civic address with the correct postal code so the courier can find it.
On arrival, the courier checks ID against the order and hands the package only to someone 19 or older with matching ID. If nobody's there, the tracking page will show a re-attempt or pickup.
When a product is finished, the parts go different ways. A Sync pod contains no main battery, so check local rules for anything that held e-liquid. A battery base or a disposable contains a lithium cell and belongs at a battery or electronics recycling drop-off, not in household garbage.
Everything in our catalogue comes from authorized Canadian distributors and carries the federal excise stamp. In Saskatchewan, flavoured vaping products beyond tobacco, mint, and menthol can be sold only by specialty vape retailers and online, and Truax falls under the same provincial rule.
Place the smallest order you like; we require no minimum and no sign-up.
A couple more naming quirks are worth knowing.
Puff counts in a product title are ratings, not guarantees, and they're measured differently from brand to brand. The e-liquid volume in the description is the more reliable number for comparing.
Strength is often in the title, but not always. When it isn't, check the description or the variant list, since some products offer more than one strength.
"Compatible with" means the product fits specific devices named in the listing — not every device in a category. Pods are the usual case. If your device isn't named, ask before ordering.
Colour options usually mean hardware; flavour options usually mean something that contains e-liquid. It's a quick way to tell at a glance whether a product needs e-liquid bought separately.
For Truax, where a wrong order means waiting on a second delivery from Saskatoon, those few seconds of reading are worth it. The community lost its village status at the end of 1970 and today is home to about a dozen people, roughly 75 kilometres southeast of Moose Jaw — close enough to larger centres, but far enough that getting the order right the first time matters. If you're ever unsure what a product includes, ask; it's a quicker fix than a return. Wherever you store devices and e-liquid, make it somewhere children and pets can't reach.
Prairie Vape's minimum age is 19 for all buyers, nationwide — the same line Saskatchewan draws in law.
