Additional Information on E-cigarettes

 

An electronic cigarette is an alternative to the tobacco cigarette, providing small amounts of the chemical nicotine with each inhalation.  The E-cigarette works like a fog machine to produce vapor that looks like smoke.  The small disposable plastic mouthpiece of the device contains an absorbent material that is moistened with a flavored liquid solution.  The main substanaces contained in the liquid are nicotine, propylene glycol, and optional flavors or aromas.  When the cartridge is depleted it can be replaced with another pre-filled cartridge.  The cartridges are available in a variety of flavors and nicotine concentrations.  The levels of nicotine are high, medium, low and none.  When you inhale through the E-cig device, the air flow is detected by a sensor.  The sensor activates the atomizer, the heating element that vaporizes the liquid in the mouthpiece so that it can be inhaled.  The propylene glycol in the liquid makes the vapor that resembles normal cigarette smoke. Since E-cigs don't produce any smoke there is no second hand smoke and very little smell allowing you to smoke in your house, car or "No Smoking" places.  E-cigarettes won't make your teeth yellow like traditional cigarettes. The microprocessor also activates a colored LED, red or blue,at the tip to simulate real smoking.

There are many benefits to E-cig smoking over traditional cigarettes.  Scientific research shows that cigarette smoke contains over 4000 chemcials which are harmful to the human body, while with ecigs you just inhale nicotine. E-cigarettes are a form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy just like nicotine gum or the patch.  The difference is that when you use Ecigs you instantly get relief from cravings because the nicotine is absorbed quickly through your lungs just like when you smoke a tobacco cigarette.

The Electronic cigarette has a lithium-ion rechargeable battery to power the heating element (atomizer).  New batteries should charge for 12 hours even if the charger says it is done charging. The battery should charge for at least 4 hours every time you charge it.  The battery life depends on the frequency of use and operating environment.  The battery is generally the largest component of an e-cigarette.  There different charger types available: wall outlet, car, and USB.
