Background: The electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) market is heterogeneous with a wide variety of devices and liquids available to consumers. People with distinct sociodemographic characteristics may have different ENDS device and liquid preferences. Methods: 1290 U.S. adults (21 + ) using ENDS 5 + days/week completed the Wave 5 (February-April 2023) VAPER study survey and submitted photos of their most used ENDS device and liquid. Latent class analysis (LCA) was performed based on sociodemographic characteristics and cigarette smoking status to identify groups among respondents. We examined the association between identified groups and the device (disposable device/disposable pod/refillable pod/tank, power/airflow/coil modifiability)/liquid (nicotine salt/freebase) groupings found by exploratory factor analysis. Results: Among our sample, there were three groups of adults frequently using ENDS: (1) group of women who are older, heterosexual, and have smoked cigarettes (62 % of the sample); (2) group of men who are higher-income and heterosexual (23 % of the sample); and (3) group of women who are younger and LGBTQ+ (16 % of the sample).
