Understanding the Electronic Cigarette

The Electronic Cigarette is a revolutionary product which is helping smokers of all ages get back their health by allowing them to continue smoking without all the toxins and harmful substances associated with inhaling tobacco smoke. Not only that, but people all over are also finding the electronic cigarette to be a very helpful tool to use to quit smoking. Anyway, on to explaining just how the electronic cigarette works.

The E-Cig consists of three main parts. You have the battery, the atomizer, and the nicotine cartridge. I will explain these in the order of least complicated to most.


The Battery - It is just that, a battery (lithium battery to be specific). This battery is also found in many common, rechargeable items dsuch as your cell phone and digital camera. Lithium batteries are used because they have a relatively short recharge time and great battery life and use time.

The Nicotine Cartridge - This cartridge contains the nicotine fluid which is inhaled by the user. This cartridge can contain different amounts of nicotine which can usually be specified during ordering. There are high-nicotine cartridges, medium-nicotine, low-nicotine, and zero-nicotine cartridges.

The Atomizer - The atomizer is the most complicated portion of the electronic cigarette but still relatively simple. When you inhale on the nicotine cartridge, it pulls air into and through the atomization chamber. The air is then atomized and heated by a small heating component in the atomizer. Then the air passes through the nicotine cartridge allowing the nicotine particles to adhere to the vapor which is then inhaled by the user.

So with the electronic cigarette, the user gets his/her nicotine fix and without all the harmful substances which are in tobacco smoke. So there you have it, this is the way that the electronic cigarette works. To learn even more, please visit www.sharpsmoker.com
