6 Tips on Choosing Electronic Cigarettes
-
\r\n The electronic cigarette was invented in the 1960s, but it didn't really take off until a decade ago. Currently, there are more than 250 brands of "e-cigarettes" available in such flavors as watermelon, pink bubble gum and Java, and in more colors than the iPhone 5C.They can be smoked in many places traditional cigarettes are banned, and smokers don’t have to worry about cigarette odors, cigarette breath, or ash.\r\n

\r\n\r\n What are e-cigarettes?\r\n
\r\nE-cigarettes are battery operated nicotine inhalers that consist of a rechargeable lithium battery, a cartridge called a cartomizer and an LED that lights up at the end when you puff on the e-cigarette to simulate the burn of a tobacco cigarette. The cartomizer is filled with an e-liquid that typically contains the chemical propylene glycol along with nicotine, flavoring and other additives.
\r\nThe device works much like a miniature version of the smoke machines that operate behind rock bands. When you "vape" -- that's the term for puffing on an e-cig -- a heating element boils the e-liquid until it produces a vapor. A device creates the same amount of vapor no matter how hard you puff until the battery or e-liquid runs down.\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n With so many startup companies saturating the market, it can be difficult for first-time vapers to choose the best electronic cigarette. Here are a few tips on how to select a good e-cig brand.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n High-quality batteries\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe rechargeable battery is the lifeblood of any electronic cigarette. Make sure that your battery is powerful enough to get you through a full day of smoking on a single charge – at least 300 puffs if you are a pack-a-day smoker. Don’t settle for cheap ecigs that fall apart easily. You want a well-built battery that can withstand the slips and bumps of a hectic day.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n Ease of use\r\n
\r\n
\r\nBack in the day, electronic cigarettes were made up of three small parts – battery, atomizer, and cartridge. This design required smokers to manually refill their tanks with e-juice and clean the atomizer regularly to avoid clogs. The new 2-piece construction eliminates those hassles by combining the atomizer and cartridge into one disposable unit. With a cartridge that’s been pre-filled with liquid nicotine and built with a brand new atomizer, you can enjoy maximum satisfaction with every puff. If you are a novice vaper, you should choose the 2-piece mini ecig for ease of use before upgrading to more complicated mods.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n Cartomizer performance\r\n
\r\n
\r\nOne major issue I had with older ecigs is that their cartridges only lasted a few hours. It’s really annoying to change your cartomizer after every 50 puffs – even if you paid a cheaper price for it. Thanks to modern technology, cartridges today can last for several days.The more puffs per cartomizer, the longer you’ll go between changing cartridges, the more you’ll save even if it is a little more expensive than weaker brands. Make sure you buy cartomizers that last at least 300 puffs – the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n Flavor\r\n
\r\n
\r\nTaste is important when choosing a particular brand of cigarettes, and it’s no different with ecigs. The liquid inside electronic cigarette cartridges comes in a special formula that may not be familiar to smokers so you might have to experiment with a number of flavors until you find the ones that suit you. There are many varieties of tobacco, menthol, coffee, chocolate, and fruit flavors out there, in four to six different levels of nicotine concentrations. Look for more flavor options if you are not satisfied with what your brand is currently offering.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n Vapor volume\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\n One of the reasons why e-cigs have become a viable alternative to smoking is the realistic vapor they produce. Watch the smoke escape your lips or blow rings of cloud when you exhale. When choosing an electronic cigarette, make sure that the battery is able to produce vapor that closely resembles cigarette smoke. Watch video demos online so you can actually see the vapor volume from a particular brand.\r\n
