Understanding E-Cigarettes & How They Work

By Billy Genthner


Electronic cigarettes are now a billion dollar industry, and many smokers are opting away from traditional cigarettes and instead choosing to smoke E-cigarettes. Many people have switched because E-cigs emit no smoke, and many enjoy these electronic cigarettes because there are so many unique flavors. If you've never tried an e-cigarette before, here are a few facts about how these interesting devices work.

While regular cigarettes must be lit with a match or lighter, an E-cigarette uses a battery. There is no fire produced and no smoke. The E-Cigarette can be used again and again and contains has several parts. Some E-cigs resemble typical tobacco cigarettes, some can be quite colorful and others are simple and straightforward in style.

The electronic cigarette has a battery at the top and usually an LED light at the tip that lights up when the person inhales, mimicking the flame you'd find on a tobacco cigarette. At the bottom of the cigarette is a cartridge that holds the liquid. The liquid generally is just called an e-liquid. In between the battery and the inhaler there is a vaporizer, which also is called an atomizer.

When you inhale at the tip of the E-cigarette, this causes the battery to heat up the atomizer which then turns the E-liquid into a vapor which gives one the illusion of smoke. However electronic cigarettes do not produce smoke, which makes them much more acceptable for smokers who wish to enjoy a cigarette in public places, such as a park or restaurant where traditional cigarettes typically are banned.

A big part of the fun of electronic cigarettes is the wide variety of E-liquids you can purchase. Vype Vapor, for example, which is a vape store in Las Vegas, has more than 24 different flavors from which to select. The custom E-liquid choices range from fruit flavors to tropical drink flavors and flavors that resemble coffee, chocolate, cinnamon and even a hint of tobacco. Vape shops like Vype Vapor also constantly are creating new, adventurous flavors for their customers to enjoy.

Some E-liquids contain nicotine and some do not contain this substance. You also can opt for different levels of nicotine from none at all up to the level you would find in a tobacco cigarette such as Marlboro Red. This is a great way to reduce your dependence on nicotine, as you can start out with the highest level and gradual reduce the amount over time. Many smokers have switched over to the E-cigarettes because you can reduce the nicotine amount and eliminate second-hand smoke while still enjoying a cigarette.
