So what exactly is this vapor producing electronic cigarette that we are all hearing so much about? Well,
e-cigarette really is a very simple piece of
technology but let’s take little bit closer look to what it actually is..
We recommend you also read the chapter on
Benefits of E-Cigarette..
The basics of electronic cigarette
Unlike traditional tobacco cigarettes, e-cigs don’t have flame and nothing burns while you use it. The atomizer heats up a mixture of glycerin, water, flavoring and nicotine (nicotine free e-liquid is also available) until the point when it vaporizes. Then you inhale the vapor that it produces, very simple. Altogether we can say that it works just like an ordinary cigarette, but instead of producing smoke full of tar and harmful chemicals, it only produces vapor. Using e-cigarette also feels very similar to smoking tobacco.
Parts of E-cigarette
All electronic cigarettes have the
mouthpiece (which contains the
cartridge), the
atomizer and the
battery. Some brands have the atomizer built-in so that there are only two pieces in total. Some people feel there is less hassle with a 2-piece e-cigarette and prefer them but there really isn’t much difference between two to be honest (see photo below).
