Appearances and specific Attributes in Supernatural
1.20 Dead Man's Blood
Vampires in Supernatural are not killed with a stake, but must be decapitated. Sun is not extremely harmful but is unpleasant and they prefer to sleep during the day. They are affected or slowed with Dead Man's Blood.
Vampires are rare (John had thought they were extinct.) because they have been hunted intensively. They live in packs and mate for life.
Apparently Supernatural vampires are long-lived and possibly immortal. Luther, the leader of the pack in this episode, has been around since the early 1800.
In contrast to popular lore, vampires in Supernatural do not need an invitation to enter a home.
They have sharp, pointed, retractable teeth that emerge from their gums and extend beyond their human teeth.
2.03 Bloodlust
Vampires are apparently potentially capable of resisting the urge to feed from humans, and can live off cattle blood, as Lenore and her group do. However, this is unpleasant for them and "disgusting."
3.07 Fresh Blood
Dixon converts young women into vampires by feeding them his blood under the pretense it is a recreational drug. It is administered either with an eyedropper or in a drink.
When Gordon becomes a vampire, we get to see how a vampire experiences the world - with enhanced hearing, and sight, meaning he can see in the dark, but is also extremely sensitive to light. His sense of smell is so good he can use it to locate the shop Dean visited to buy his cell phone.
4.05 Monster Movie
In this episode, the Winchester brothers begin their supernatural investigation by looking into some vampire attacks. However, the "vampire" turns out to be a shapeshifter who disguises himself as classic horror movie monsters.
