In comparison, the overall size of the new HQD SHISHA 20K is slightly smaller than the previously released HQD SHISHA, but its battery capacity of 1000mAh is greater than the 850mAh of the HQD SHISHA; both support USB charging.
In terms of puff count, the new HQD SHISHA 20K clearly states its 10 milliliter pod capacity, with the brand claiming that the product can deliver 20,000 puffs after each refill. HQD SHISHA lists about 20,000 puff counts, but does not specify the e-liquid capacity.
As an open-system water pipe style e-cigarette, the nicotine concentration of HQD SHISHA 20K is ≤ 5 milligrams per milliliter, and users are recommended to choose a nicotine concentration of 3 milligrams per milliliter.
New trend in water vapor e-cigarettes: from disposable to refillable

In terms of design, HQD SHISHA 20K goes even further. The official website describes it as the "First Open-System Shisha Pod".
