There are 3 types of electronic cigarettes, e Cigs, or e Cigarettes you should be familiar with before you purchase your first starter kit.  There are several “pros” and “cons” associated with each type of e Cig that when understood can help you find the vendor and model that suits you best. 

Fortunately the 3 types of e Cigarettes are as easy to remember as 1, 2, 3.  They are:

* 1-piece electronic cigarettes * 2-piece electronic cigarettes * 3-piece electronic cigarettes

If you have never heard of electronic cigarettes Articlebase, Google and many other web-sites are excellent resources to find more information on how electronic cigarettes work and electronic cigarette FAQs (frequently asked questions) .

Type vs. Style

There are also 4 styles of electronic “cigarettes” (pen-style, mini, cigar and pipe) I will cover in a separate article that should not be confused with these 3 types .  Style refers to appearances while type refers to function. The functionality and performance of each type of e cig depends on 3 main components which are the battery, atomizer and nicotine cartridge.  Whether or not a particular electronic cigarette falls into the category of 1, 2, or 3 piece depends on how these three main components are packaged into the assembled unit and sometimes how they are sold.

I will now give you a brief overview and the associated pros and cons of each type of electronic cigarette.

1-Piece: Disposables

One piece electronic cigarettes package or assemble the unit into a single piece with a pre-charged battery that is ready to smoke as soon as you take it out of the package and thrown away when its used up.  Sometimes there is a simple 1 step “activation” procedure that needs to be done such as removing a foil tab or twisting the battery to engage the battery or the nicotine cartridge with the atomizer. 

The good thing about 1 piece or disposable e cigarettes is that they usually are the cheapest option for someone that just wants to try smoking electronic cigarettes for the first time to see if they will work for them.

The main drawback to disposable one piece e cigs is that since they are cheapest option they don’t include extra components such as spare batteries, atomizers, or battery chargers.  Sometimes they will include a few extra refill cartridges but these will be not be useful if the battery dies prematurely. 

Not all disposable electronic cigarettes are 1-piece and some are in fact 2-piece or 3-piece.   Most if not all 1 piece e cigs are disposable however, and in fact a popular style of 1-piece electronic cigarettes are actually electronic cigars that are good for about 600 to 1800 puffs before the battery dies.

2-Piece: “Cartomizer”

Refill cartridges for 2 piece electronic cigarettes are sometimes referred to as “cartomizers” because the atomizer is built into the nicotine refill cartridges.  These units are very convenient because  they only require a person to charge batteries and replace nicotine cartridges as maintenance, but also have one significant advantage as well as one significant disadvantage. The main advantage of the 2 piece e cigarette over the 3 piece design is that the atomizer gets replaced each time the nicotine cartridge is replaced.  Atomizers for electronic cigarettes are referred to as a semi-consumable requiring replacement every 6 to 8 weeks on average in 3-piece units and occasionally fail after only few days if not used properly.  If you smoke a 2 piece e cig regularly the atomizer (along with the nicotine cartridge) will be replaced every 1 to 2 days depending on your smoking habits. The main disadvantage to the 2-piece e cig is that the nicotine cartridge / atomizer are somewhat sealed and difficult (although not impossible) to refill using a bottled nicotine solution in a refill process electronic cigarette smokers call “dripping.”

3-Piece Electronic Cigarettes

Three piece e cigarettes separate the 3 main components of electronic cigarettes which are the battery, atomizer and nicotine replacement cartridge.  This type of electronic cigarette is preferred by veteran e cig smokers, but this does not mean that it is difficult to use even as a starter kit for a complete e cigarette novice. The 3-piece electronic cigarette is the most versatile giving the novice 3 different parts to swap out while trouble shooting and giving the veteran the most options for refilling or “dripping” nicotine cartridges as well as “modding” or making modifications to batteries, atomizers and nicotine cartridges for a totally personalized e cig smoking experience. 

The main downside to the 3 piece electronic cigarette design is that it requires the most maintenance of the 3 types.  Both batteries and atomizers are “semi-consumable” and will need to be replaced regularly as performance diminishes or they stop working all together.

Which Type of Electronic Cigarette is the Best?

This will depend on a number of factors, but there are a few suggestions I can make for the first or second time e cigarette buyer. If you are really unsure that electronic cigarettes will be a good option for you then go for the cheaper disposable option.  Sometimes they don’t perform as well as the 2-piece or 3-piece designs, but it should at least help you get your feet wet and figure out if you are willing to invest some more money in the whole idea. If you are sure you want to become a serious e cig smoker and think you would like a lower maintenance option that will allow you to switch cartridges / atomizers easily and frequently to figure out which flavors appeal to you then try a 2-piece design. If you don’t mind a little bit more of a learning curve or think you would like to experiment more and don’t mind stocking up on a few more replacement parts then the 3-piece type of electronic cigarette is probably a good choice for you.  If you plan to try different flavors of nicotine cartridges with a 3-piece e cig then be sure to buy a spare atomizer for each flavor you plan to try as the stronger flavors (such as menthol) tend to permeate the atomizers and may not mix well with another flavor you are trying.

hi everyone, be sure to check out my reviews website at www.E-Cig-Reviews.com

Many are already enjoying the benefits of electronic cigarettes. If you are not one of them just yet, please read on to learn more. As the name implies, electronic cigarettes are battery operated nicotine-releasing device that is known as the healthy alternative to tobacco smoking. It gives off small amounts of nicotine for every inhalation which really helps out every smokers attempt to quit smoking. The best thing about it is that smokers can still derive the same relaxation you get from tobacco.

Tobacco versus Electronic Cigarette

E cigarettes look, taste, and feel like the traditional cigarette we can buy from the nearby convenience store. Its nicotine content is relatively lower compared to a cigarette stick. Electronic cigarettes can easily satisfy your cravings for nicotine and for the utter smoking experience.

The very act of inhalation seems like a simulation of how we get the same pleasure from tobacco smoking. The only difference is that it does not produce smoke at all. Instead, what it emits is a smoke-like foggy mist that came from the vaporize nicotine solution. Unlike tobacco smoke, it is odorless and does not linger into thin air for a very long time. This could only mean one thing for us health conscious folks: We can get all that we need from tobacco minus the hateful toxic chemicals and tar.

The Advantage of Electronic Cigarette

One advantage of electronic cigarettes that we do not usually notice is the fact that it is no-flammable. This eliminates any form of safety hazards such as fire and skin burns. Instead, it is powered by a certain microelectronic technology using lithium-ion battery that is replaceable.

Tobacco products contain 4,000 harmful chemical substances. Experts from US Food and Drug Administration would surely agree that smoking tobacco has caused most cases of lung cancer, tuberculosis, stroke, heart diseases and other kinds of cancer. None of these can be derived from electronic cigarettes as the solution contained in the refillable cartridge is merely made of water, nicotine, flavoring and propylene glycol. No tar, no carbon monoxide, no acetone, no sulfuric acid. Absolutely safe and healthy.

How It Works

Electronic cigarettes are made of the lithium-ion battery, a chamber where the atomizer and the electronic circuits are located and the mouthpiece that also serve as the cartridge containing the nicotine solution. Once you inhale through the mouthpiece, the microprocessor will sense the air flow which will, then, activate the atomizer or the heating element that will vaporize the droplets of nicotine solution coming from the cartridge.

Such conversion happens in an instant to simulate how dried tobacco is converted into smoke when burnt. Only, electronic cigarettes involve liquid, electricity and water vapor.

Manufacturers and distributors of electronic cigarettes market the product to those who want to have a healthy alternative to smoking for a long time. The other niche would be those who want to completely curb their addiction to nicotine in a gradual manner. With the electronic cigarettes price decreasing amidst recession, no wonder that e cigarettes are groomed to be the cigarette of the future.

In the United States, the increasing popularity of the electronic cigarette shows no sign of abating, despite being surrounded by controversy and difficulty.

The word “Vape” has been used in the past in reference to other smoking devices. In America the term is now being adopted to describe the activity of smoking an e cigarette. The Urban dictionary defines it as such, “ To inhale vapor from E-cigarettes. Used because “smoking” an E-cig doesn’t apply as there is no smoke only vapor .”

What follows are excerpts from a conversation I had with some ex smokers or vapers on an e cigarette forum . I have written a series of articles (see the electronic cigarette story articles) on the subject and as some of my readers will know I hold a very personal interest in what may happen in the future of the e cig.

My goal during this conversation was to get some real hands on information from the people that this product is squarely aimed at, namely, addicted smokers who find it difficult to quit a habit that may have blighted them for years, yet long to be rid of the harmful toxins that have been invading their bodies.

I explained to the group why I was writing and what I wanted to achieve and that the only way to delve deep into the heart of the matter was to speak to the people on the frontline.

I have removed the names of the people but their comments are unedited. My title should actually read “Interview with a Few Vapers”!

 

Spidergoose : So these electronic cigarettes really work huh?

Ex Smoker 1 : I can’t speak for everyone, but almost 40 years of smoking 2 packs a day, the patch/gum/lozenge/hypnosis did not work for me. The day I picked up vaping was the last puff I had on a cigarette. Cold turkey and no withdrawal.

Spidergoose : that sounds incredible, what is it that makes it work then where all the other stuff fails? Is it the combo of nicotine being present plus the actual going through the motions of imitating the smoking process?

Ex Smoker 1 :

exactly! And satisfying the oral fixation, and the habit of having something in your hand.

Spidergoose :  I should explain that although I am a non smoker, I do have a very real interest in the subject as my dad who never smoked a cigarette in his life died as a result of passive smoking.

Ex Smoker 2 :   I

smoked 2pks day for 30 years and have not had a cig for …hmmmmm 2 months TODAY! I AM SO excited!  

Spidergoose :  2 months? Is that the date you started or did it take a while?

Ex Smoker 2 :  heck yea…as soon as I got it! Arrived April 4th….used next day it was a Sunday!

Spidergoose :  I have written articles wondering why there is so much opposition to these things when quite evidently even from this conversation; they have the potential to not just change lives but the world too!

Ex Smoker 1 : You can vape indoors or in your car…No yucky residue. Your breath and clothes don’t stink…And another positive side effect, I can keep my car stereo down on the volume, I don’t have to have my windows open to let the smoke out.

Ex Smoker 3 : and it’s safe around the kiddies!

Ex Smoker 1 : One negative effect….I can taste flavours now that I haven’t been able to taste in decades. Makes me want to eat more!

Of course, I started out at 6′2″, 160 pounds…a bit skinny, so I can afford to put on a few pounds! (Laughs out loud)

Ex Smoker 3 : hoping to get to no nicotine carts ( electronic cigarettes have removable nicotine cartridges that are available in varying strengths including one which is nicotine free) in a few months!

Spidergoose : fascinating!

Ex Smoker 3 : oh and spidergoose there are no shakes or mood swings!!!!

Ex Smoker 2 :   I can smell the world now and SING!!!!!

Ex Smoker 3 : so ya think FDA or Big Tobacco $$ will stop the vape?

Spidergoose : It does seem like there is a huge conspiracy going on behind closed doors. It’s like all the money men are jostling for a piece of the pie when they become more popular then traditional cigs.

Ex Smoker 2 :   me too spidergoose…big tobacco and big pharm are not getting a piece of the pie.

Spidergoose : would you guys mind if i used some of the stuff you have said as inspiration for my next article?

Ex Smoker 1 : feel free to use anything I say, but please, keep it in context, okay?

 

I have honoured the wishes of ex smoker 1 and the other contributors to the interview and kept all quotes and comments in its correct context. I thank all of them for speaking so honestly with me.

It is clear to see that people feel very passionately about the electronic cigarette and it is already changing people’s lives for the better, you have seen the comments for yourself. These are real people who used to smoke real tobacco cigarettes and since they switched to the e cig they have noticed significant improvements in their general health and overall lifestyle.

Once again, a plea to the authorities in charge, if these things are safe or even much “safer” than tobacco cigarettes then please hurry up and declare them so and get the word around so that more people like these above can enjoy a brighter future.
