What Are E-Cigarettes?

Have you heard of these new devices called E-Cigarettes?  Ever wondered exactly what they are?  If so, you’ve come to the right place.  Here we will discuss in some detail what E-Cigarettes are and why many people are opting to use these devices in place of traditional tobacco cigarettes.

What are E-Cigarettes?

E-Cigarettes, also known as electronic cigarettes or vapor smoking, are battery operated devices which deliver an inhaled dose of nicotine without the combustion and smoke used in traditional cigarettes.Electronic cigarettes use a vaporized solution that delivers measured amounts of nicotine to help satisfy cravings without having to light up.

Most E-Cigarettes resemble an actual cigarette, cigar or pipe in both look and feel to mirror the physical sensation of smoking.  In addition to the measured amount of nicotine delivered, the vapors emitted from e-cigarettes contain a flavor which satisfies smokers in the same way inhaled smoke does, without the combustion or chemicals found in actual smoking products.  Most E-Cigarettes are reusable and have replaceable parts which can save smokers thousands of dollars in the long run.

The Components of an E-Cigarette

E-Cigarettes have three main components:  a mouthpiece, a heating element and the battery and electronic components.  Below is a brief description of each.

·         Mouthpiece.  The mouthpiece, better known as the cartridge, is a small plastic cup affixed to the end of the e-cigarette which contains the liquid solution that may or may not also contain the nicotine.

 

·         Heating Element.  The heating element, sometimes referred to as the atomizer, serves to vaporize the liquid in the cartridge so it can be inhaled.

 

·         Battery and Electronics.The driving force behind an e-cig is the battery. It is the power supply that heats the liquid, thereby turning it int a vapor that is then inhaled like regular smoking.  Other electronic features allow e-cigarettes to be turned on and off and create physical similarities to regular cigarettes such as an orange glow light resembling actual fire.

E-Cigarettes provide smokers with the satisfaction of both nicotine and the smoking act, without the harmful smoke produced by traditional smoking products.  And since there is no smoke, E-Cigarettes can be used anywhere cigarettes and smoking is normally prohibited.
