Electronic Cigarettes Are Designed On The Tobacco Method Of Smoking
The word “electronic” may cause consumers to think of e-cigarettes as complex technical systems. That is far from the truth. You may be surprised when you learn how electronic cigarettes work.
This is a simple product to use and required no special training or higher education to understand. Technological development has two faces when it’s done well. The first is the technical aspects of creating a product that fills a need or solves a problem in a new and unusual way. The second face of development is creating technology that provides a friendly user experience.
E-cigarettes are a good example of a well designed product that provides a good user experience. E-cigs are a simple system combined with advanced design. When you use your e-cig you don’t have to be concerned about the circuitry or the heating element as they work without effort from you.
An atomizer and a battery are the main components of any e-cigarette. Both a short and a long battery section is included in most starter kits along with a battery charger. You will need to charge a battery for 2-3 hours before using your new e-cig. After the initial charge you can have one battery on the charger and the second in use.
Assembling the e-cigarette is as simple as can be. There are no little plastic bags filled with parts to be connected. All you need to do is screw the atomizer to the charged battery and you can be ready to smoke.
The atomizer is the mouthpiece and the terms are used interchangeably. A small cup inside holds absorbent material saturated with a flavored nicotine solution. Other models come with cartridges pre-filled with e-liquid and are disposed of and replaced as needed. A small heating element located in the atomizer is activated by the battery producing a vapor mist for the smoker to inhale.
The batteries are most often rechargeable lithium ion and battery life is determined by size and type of the battery, frequency of use of the e-cig and the quality of the product. An LED light at the tip of the battery is a feature that has been a part of e-cigs since their early development. Meant to represent the fire of a lit cigarette the light is often red or orange. On newer models, users may often choose any color of LED they prefer.
The best electronic cigarettes are automatic and produce vapor when the user draws (puffs) on the mouthpiece. The movement of air through the e-cig activates the heating coil powered by the battery and the result is vapor released by the heating of the nicotine laced e-liquid. As you can see, the electronic cigarette operates on the same principle as a tobacco smoke. With tobacco products, drawing air through the cigarette increases the heat of the fire at the tip and creates smoke. The difference lies in the health benefit of inhaling a vapor mist that quickly dissipates while avoiding the chemical compounds of toxic tobacco smoke.
