E-cigarettes: how does it work and what kinds are there?

Hello again

In my previous post I talked about how started vaping.
This time i would like to talk about the different kinds of E-cigarettes and how they work.

In general, all E-cigarettes work the same and consist of three major parts.
- A cartridge or tank containing the liquid to be vaporized
- something called an atomizer, this part will heat up the liquid to vaporize it
- a battery supplying power to the atomizer

Now we can imagine how it works. The battery powers the atomizer to heat up the liquid to a vapor state, so it can be inhaled.

With that in mind we can start talking about different kinds of E-cigarettes.
Once again there are 3 major groups.

- disposables:
these are ready-to-use e-cigarettes that can not be reused or refilled.
Battery dead or cartridge empty -> waste bin
These are great to have a first try at vaping as they are cheap. If this product somewhat appeals to you, it might be interesting to try a reusable one, because from here on it only gets better.

Disposables come in tobacco and menthol flavor and cost about 5-6€ each. one of these is an equivalent to a big packet of cigarettes.

- cartridge e-cigarettes:
Simple chargeable battery and disposable cartridges. Flavors and nicotine content are usually limited, depending on the brand.

These are a great way to try out vaping on longer term. For me it helped getting started but i wanted more out of the experience, which brings me to the last kind of E-cigarette (the last one i know).

- Tankomizers:
This kind of E-cigarette has a tank and atomizer combined. It does not use disposable cartridges, simply fill up the reservoir with E-liquid (or E-juice) and it will probably last you the entire day, if not longer.
Starter kits usually contain two batteries, two tankomizers, a USB-adapter, a USB wall plug, a USB car adapter, a bottle of E-liquid and a nice case to put it all in and take it with you. most of these have some way of letting you see into the tank to check the amount of liquid inside, so you are always prepared and you know exactly how much you vaped.

The best thing about these is the amount of flavors available and the fact that you can mix and blend different liquids to make your perfect taste and even decide the amount of nicotine. I'll be talking about the liquids in detail in a later post, but I will tell you so far i have found over 100 different tastes on a single website.

I hope once again you enjoyed reading this and I can help others to give up smoking.

Hope to see you next time ;)
