These original devices appeared almostten years ago. For a long time they were released without significant changes in the design. Over the past 2 years, manufacturers have refined the model and received several new types of cigarettes. This is due to a significant increase in demand for this device. Not the last role was played by fierce competition between manufacturers. Be that as it may, clear-tank and tank-tank models appeared on the market, which are distinguished by improved performance.
What is this device
The first electronic cigarette was released in 2003 by Ryan (China). However, commercial samples intended for sale appeared much later (in 2008).
The name of this device does not reflect the essence ofWhat does an electronic cigarette consist of? It would be more correct to call it an electric inhaler, because it acts according to the same principles - it “sprays” liquid into steam.
The classic electronic cigarette consists ofbattery, liquid cartridge and evaporator. Batteries are manufactured using the latest Li-Ion technology. The main parameters of batteries in these devices are their capacity, measured in mA / h, as well as the operating voltage.
The size of the cigarette depends on the volume of the battery.From the operating voltage - the amount of steam generated by the evaporator. Most often, their output power - 3.7 V, this value is today the "standard". However, there are batteries that change the output power.
Source of power
A device that feeds to the evaporatorvoltage. These can be collapsible and non-collapsible factory batteries of different formats, battery packs equipped with replaceable batteries, mechanical modules, equal voltages, etc. For the power source, two characteristics are important - the ability to adjust the voltage and dimensions.
E-cigarette vaporizer
This is a device in which the voltage supplied frompower source, is fed directly to the spiral with resistance. As a result, it heats up. The liquid arriving at the helix “splashes out” (evaporates). In this element is the supply of fluid. And, of course, airflow (air flow to the spiral).
The evaporator for an electronic cigarette, depending on the design solution, may be different. Of the existing constructive solutions are essential:
- implementation of the blower;
- fluid storage;
- feeding it to the helix (this may be the only wick that is responsible for feeding and evaporating, or separately the wick of the helix and the feeding wick).
It is necessary to take into account two important characteristics: dimensions and maintainability of the evaporator.
Based on the size, the vaporizer for an electronic cigarette can be classified as follows:
- Diameter not more than 9 mm.They are used in devices that most resemble "ordinary" cigarettes with a diameter of not more than 14 mm. This is an eGo-format (eGo is a type of electronic cigarette from Joyetech, a Chinese manufacturer). This is the most popular size.
- 16–17 mm is an average size. These vaporizers are also popular, but they are released much less.
- Diameter 20 mm. Also considered "interformat" size. Such a vaporizer for an e-cigarette is already significantly more “average”.
- Diameter 22–23 mm.Today this size is another “standard” (as well as eGo-format). However, in eGo-format, maintenance-free, sometimes semi-service evaporators are usually presented. Most of these models have a diameter of 22–23 mm.
- Sometimes there are samples with a diameter of more than 23mm, but this is very rare. They are manufactured for use in devices with equally powerful power sources. They are quite large, heavy and not very comfortable to use. But they are also used.
To evaluate the usability of common sizes of evaporators, as well as power sources, you can make such a comparison:
- eGo-format (14 mm) feels like an overall fountain pen;
- device size 22–23 mm can be compared with the thickness of the handles of kitchen utensils (ladles and others).
Не менее важным критерием при покупке данного the device is having the ability to service the vaporizer for an electronic cigarette. Most recently, the bulk of these items were unattended. In other words, you buy a device, you use it for a short time, and then you just throw it away.
Serviced are appliances in whichThe user can self-rewind the vaporizer of the electronic cigarette (helix + wick). This is more troublesome, but allows you to improve the characteristics (amount of steam, taste, etc.) used devices.
It is equally important that such devices can be served quite easily in the intervals when a cigarette needs winding changes (burn, wash wicks and spirals).
What does a semi-maintenance evaporator mean
This is the golden mean between devices that can be serviced independently and which are not adapted for this. In such samples replaceable vaporizers for electronic cigarettes are provided.
Types of Evaporators
Today there are several types of evaporators (atomizers) that manufacturers offer:
- A somewhat outdated model is the atomizer with a cartridge. This technology is almost never used.
- Most popular received cartomizer onsintepon. For the manufacture of containers in such samples is used synthetic winterizer, this eliminates the likelihood of fluid flow. But, unfortunately, such models will not last long. This, you see, is a significant drawback.
- Tankomizer not too practical, as quite often flow.
- The most popular today is clearomizer.In models of this type, the vaporization chamber is connected to a liquid container. In addition, it is possible to replace the heating element if necessary.
- A model called “genesis” is considered the most difficult to use.
Electronic Cigarette Liquid
These devices contain a composition of fourcomponents: water, flavors, glycerin and polyprolinegol. All of them are harmless to humans. If the liquid is nicotine-containing, then nicotine is added, which is undoubtedly harmful.
Evaporator cleaning
Every owner of this device is facingwith a problem when its vaporizer starts to produce much less steam. Well, when it is possible to replace the vaporizer in the electronic cigarette. And if such a function is not provided? Is it just left to throw the device away? How to clean the e-cigarette vaporizer? It turns out that this is not very difficult. And there are several ways how to clean the vaporizer of an electronic cigarette.
Do not immediately try to make some difficultoperations. Start simple. Try to regularly remove excess fluid. This simple procedure will help extend the life of the evaporator between cleanings. At night, remove the cartridge from the cigarette and leave it on a lint-free cloth in an upright position.
Если во время курения вы услышите характерный squelching sound, do not be alarmed. You just need to unscrew the case and pull the evaporator from the base of the automizer. Look at its "back" part, marked with a yellow stripe. On it you will see the liquid remains. You will see the same picture on the central contact of the battery. Using a standard cloth, wipe off any excess liquid. After that, assemble the device.
Evaporator repair
If, after cleaning the evaporator, you still feelthe smell of burning, so he needs repairs. It is better to do this in a specialized workshop serving your model. But if this is not possible, then try to repair the vaporizer of the electronic cigarette yourself.
Remove the center wick holder.At the place of its contact with the spiral, you will most likely see that it is burnt. Rinse and dry the evaporator well. Use the jewelry cutters to remove the damaged area and lower the wick deeper. After that, collect the device, soak in liquid.
