Even though E-cigarettes have been present for more than a decade, it was not until a couple of years ago that many people, especially smokers, have started showing interest in them. While the first models of e-cigs were a bit unwieldy and ineffective, these days they are considered the perfect alternative to traditional cigarettes.
The main selling point
E-cigarettes, also known as a vaporizer or electronic cigarettes are small gadgets that are designed to emit certain doses of vaporized nicotine. The majority of these devices are battery-operated, while some can also emit vaporized solutions that do not contain nicotine. The main selling point of these devices is that they are primarily designed for tobacco smokers, who want to reduce or eliminate their smoking habits and avoid inhaling hazardous substances through the smoke. It is a well-known fact that tobacco smoke contains more than 4.000 types of chemicals, most of which are considered hazardous to human health. In addition to being mainly focused on smokers, e-cigs are also lauded for their ability to eliminate the effects of passive smoking, as well. Those who smoke e-cigs will not endanger anyone in their surroundings.
Also, e-cigs are considered much safer, as they can provide a very similar sensation to inhaling nicotine, but without any combustion and fire.
Various shapes and sizes
The most notable feature of any e-cig model is its shape. The majority of them are designed to perfectly mimic classic cigarettes. However, there are also those that come in the shape of pens, USBs and more. The vast majority of these are reusable and feature refillable and replaceable cartridges. There are also disposable e-cigarettes as well, which are intended for one-time use.
How does it all work?
Modern e-cig models are automatized. When the user takes a blow, a sensor detects it and sends the signal to the heating element, which then vaporizes a liquid solution. When it comes to the e-liquids, some of them may or may not contain nicotine and other extra flavorings.
The main components of e-cigs
1. The atomizer
This component is used to heat up the e-liquid, which causes it to vaporize and turn into smoke that the user inhales. Users should keep in mind that atomizers are replaceable parts that should be replaced every 3 to 6 months.
2. The mouthpiece
This component is also known as the cartridge, and it is usually fixed to the rear end of the device. It features a small plastic cup which holds an absorbent material in liquid solution. As we mentioned above, the liquid solution can contain varying levels of nicotine and other flavorings. Some models are known to feature drip tips instead of cartridges.
3. The battery and other electronic parts
The majority of e-cigs are powered by lithium-ion batteries which are rechargeable. The battery is primarily used to supply power to the heating element, and its lifespan mostly depends on the operating environment, its size, type, and how often the device is used. The battery is usually larger than all the other components. When it comes to activating an e-cig, some of them feature automatic sensors, whereas others feature a button that needs to be pressed when sucking the e-cig.…
