Wiping: benefit and harm
The original idea of an electronic cigarette is the search for a less harmful alternative to classic smoking. Indeed, the minimum content of nicotine or its complete absence attract people who want to get rid of nicotine addiction. In addition, the fashionable novelty has a number of positive aspects:
- Lack of smoke and bad smell.
- Cost savings. Wiping requires only an initial investment in the purchase of an electronic device and smoking fluids. Further expenses will be less substantial.
- A wide selection of models of electronic cigarettes, various in size and design.
And the most important thing is relaxation during the smoking process. The ability to immerse yourself in your own thoughts. Be alone with yourself. Perhaps making the right decision in a relaxed atmosphere.
The harm of wiping is not exactly proven and is under study; According to some guesses and assumptions, vapors may be harmful to the body.
Electronic cigarette design
Cigarettes for wiping are relatively simple in design and consist of a battery with a button (the cigarette itself), an atomizer (heating element) and vaporizing liquid.
An electronic cigarette has a number of characteristics. It:
- The presence of a switch (manual or automatic), actuated when making a puff. Most models work with manual switches, more reliable in operation.
- Battery capacity, the operating time of which without recharging depends on the value of milliampere-hours. For small models of cigarettes, a battery with a capacity of about 200 mAh is enough.
- A charger that works both from USB, and from an ordinary outlet. Many starter kits are already on sale with a charger. Small models of electronic devices can be recharged in a special cigarette case that looks like an ordinary pack of cigarettes.
- The type of thread that connects the battery to the atomizer, which are mostly made with threads 808/901 and 510. If the components are not suitable, you can use the adapter. True, it is very difficult to select an adapter for proprietary threads.
Heating Element: Features
The work of most sets of electronic cigarettes is based on the action of cartridges and atomizers. Contact with the wiper fluid occurs on the heating element by continuously supplying it from the cartridge. Previously, it is necessary to fill and screw it into place, after which a gradual flow of fluid will begin.
Usually the first puff does not bring pleasure, since the factory grease evaporates to protect the coil from the influence of external factors. To get rid of at least part of such a solution as soon as possible, a new atomizer is recommended to be purged.
Heating Elements: Varieties
There are several varieties of heating elements. One of them combines an atomizer with a cartridge and is called a cartomizer. Initially, it was conceived for a single use, but most users fill it until the latter is completely contaminated. Recommended for people spending most of the time behind the wheel. One of the novelties of cartomizers, called “clearomizer”, is a transparent tube with a wick located inside.
An enlarged atomizer model is a tankizer that can hold 2-4 ml of liquid, which most vipers have for a whole day.
Evaporating liquid is the best thing about wiping
The most remarkable thing about wiping is a huge assortment of liquids, characterized by an incredible amount of aromas. These mixtures consist of dissolved nicotine (from 0 to 36 mg), glycerin, distilled water, propylene glycol and flavorings, produced on the basis of food and, in principle, do no harm.
Such ingredients are widely used in cosmetology, pharmacology, culinary business. Propylene glycol is a carrier of taste, glycerin is required for the formation of vapor, similar to cigarette smoke (organoleptically noticeable and visually noticeable). A distilled water is diluted with a thick mixture of the two above-mentioned elements to give the fluid fluidity.
Wiping differs not only in the flavor of the evaporated liquid, but also in the strength of its strength:
- VG - a large amount of steam is released, the aroma is sweetish, a blow to the throat is insignificant.
- PG - a little bit, the effect on the throat is stronger and drier.
