For whom do E cigarettes make the most sense?

The E cigarette was created in 2008 by a Chinese scientist, who had precisely this problem - he was a chain-smoking and felt like the tobacco cigarette continually damaged his health. Within a few years the global triumph began - more and more smokers decide today to buy the E cigarette. E Cigarette manufacturers such as Kangertech and Joyetech from China quickly grew into very large companies selling hundreds of different E cigarette models under their brand names worldwide. For some years, European manufacturers have also been able to establish themselves well on the market.

People who buy E cigarettes are almost 100% smokers who choose a better lifestyle for themselves. Possible effects of the changeover mentioned by E cigarette users: Stairs can be re-mounted without breath. After a transition time to the E cigarette, the smoker coughs. No tobacco smelling clothes and yellowed fingers. Increase in lung volume back to normal size. Great savings due to the E steam.

Since the E cigarette is also popular with the E cigarette and the status quo (dominance of the tobacco cigarettes), the large market participants and their associations are lobbying. Be it pharmaceutical companies (which have seen a significant decline in their sales of nicotine patches, sprays, etc. in recent years), associations and institutes whose budgets are financed to a large extent (including various cancer research institutes and non-smokers) and many mass media A regular campaign against the E cigarette in recent years.

How does an E cigarette work?

An E cigarette consists of battery, evaporator and a mouthpiece. The E liquid is filled into the evaporator:

Components of an E cigarette

The battery supplies the E cigarette system with energy. Depending on the model, the power of the E cigarette battery is between 350 and 3000 mAh. Cigalike E cigarette models require much less energy, so most models in this range are below the 1000 mAh limit. For advanced devices such as Sub Ohm E cigarettes, batteries with 1800 mAh and more are used. There are fixed and replaceable batteries. Advanced E cigarettes usually use 18650 batteries which you can buy extra. Here one should pay attention to quality such as, for example, LG or Sony batteries for E cigarettes.

E cigarette clearomizer

The liquid is filled into the clearomizer. For beginners E cigarettes (so-called Cigalikes), the evaporator is already filled with E Liquid. These closed systems (cartridges) usually have a capacity of 1 ml which is enough for about 300 trains on the E cigarette (as much as a box of conventional cigarettes). Advanced clearomizers are available from different brands which are quite different in steam and taste development.

The filling quantities for freely fillable vaporizers are generally 2 ml or more. Within the clearomizer are the coil head, also called E cigarette coil. In the case of entry models, this is normally fixed and is disposed of together with the complete clearomizer when the pre-filled liquid has been used up. For advanced models, the evaporator head is replaced when its power drops. Depending on the quality of the clearomizer and coil head it must be changed every 1-4 weeks.

E cigarette mouthpiece

The mouthpiece of the E cigarette, also called drip tip, is placed on the vaporizer at advanced E cigarettes. There is no separate mouthpiece for the Cigalikes, the depot is simply pulled to the mouth. E Cigarette Drip Tips are always included in the E Cigarette Starter Set. Should it be lost sometimes it can be bought at the manufacturer and in various E cigarette shops.

E Cigarette Liquid

The E Cigarette Liquid, also called E Liquid, is very important for a positive steamship experience. Meanwhile, there are dozens of thousands of different brands in the German-speaking world at E Liquids. E Liquids have a PG and a VG share. PG stands for propylene glycol and VG for vegetable glycerin. PG / VG Mixing ratios are very different depending on the preference of the E cigarette steam engine. A higher VG proportion results in a higher steam development. Usually, the ratio is 70% (PG) and 30% (VG).

This ratio is often reversed with sub-ohm steaming. E Liquids often have a share of water. With the sub-Ohm steaming, a too high water content (> 7%) often leads to "spitting" which means that during the steaming some hot liquid comes into the mouth. The E Liquid also contains the nicotine. Nicotine strengths at E cigarettes in Germany are usually 0mg, 3mg, 6mg, 9mg, 12mg, 18mg. For the sub ohm steaming, starches below 6mg are preferred, because this type of cigarettes leads to a stronger nicotine intake. In England and the USA there are many E cigarette models with more than 20mg of nicotine. This is however a very high nicotine dose which probably only very strong smokers gets.

How do I use an E cigarette?

Before using the E cigarette ensure that the battery is sufficiently charged. If it is an advanced model, where the liquid can be filled freely, it is important to wait about 5 minutes after filling the E liquid to get the evaporator head full with the liquid. Then you start with a usually lower power setting (with adjustable E cigarette models) and works up depending on the preference in the performance.

The E cigarette can now be steamed until the E Liquid is only slightly visible in the window of the evaporator. Please always refill enough so that it does not come to an E Cigarettes Dry Hit. This dry hit means that one feels a burnt taste and can not evaporate further. If the Dry Hit is strong, it is likely that you have to change the evaporator head since it has been burned. After replacing, you have to make sure that the new evaporator head has enough time to suck up with E cigarette liquid before you evaporate.

For beginners E cigarette models one does not have to consider so many details, but can simply unpack and e-dump his E cigarette. After about 300 trains the E cigarette depot will be used up. You screw it off the battery and exchange it with a new one.

If the E cigarette battery is empty you can recharge it with the supplied charging cable. E Cigarettes should only be loaded under supervision. Also as e.g. In mobile phones, since it can happen in case of defective chargers or accumulators to heat development.

Which e cigarette is right for me?

Depending on your smoking habits so far, the E cigarette model and especially the E cigarette liquid must also be selected individually. For people who have only smoked slightly or occasionally, a Cigalike E cigarette with nicotine strengths in the range 12-18mg can be a good substitute. In general, we recommend an average smoker (at least 10 cigarettes per day) to choose an advanced model to ensure a sufficient nicotine flasher and a steam development which satisfies the smoke needs. Here, the nicotine strength of the E cigarette should be initially 6mg or less. Interestingly, most steamers need less and less nicotine in their E cigarettes over a longer period of time. This is presumably due to the fact that conventional cigarettes are mainly so addictive since the nicotine is absorbed in chemical combination with many other substances during combustion.
