How to choose a good e-cigarette for a beginner, and whether it is possible to soar to minors
Electronic cigarettes have appeared relatively recently, the first versions were considered by users as toys, and became widespread after the ban on smoking in public places. From electronic cigarettes begin to "float", and then smoke, with them they try to get rid of the bad habit, in some ways it is even becoming fashionable. Inexperienced users in vaping are worried about the issue, how to choose an e-cigarette, and do it right. Really, among the variety of models presented it is easy to get confused.
Features of the device and its difference from tobacco products
An electronic cigarette is a compact device, in most cases it mimics a regular cigarette. It consists of a small battery, atomizers, heater, cartridge (tank) with a mixture of liquid ingredients. The appearance of simple vapes resembles an ordinary cigarette, advanced are a small box.
The principle of operation of the device is very simple: when inhaled, the liquid heats up and evaporates, vapor in its properties resembles tobacco smoke. Creating the illusion of smoking is not the only reminder of tobacco, liquid evaporator nicotine is present, but its dose may vary, up to complete absence.
Other ingredients include dietary glycerin, propylene glycol, various flavors.
According to the manufacturers, e-cigarettes are less harmful to health, than usual. The composition of various aromatic ingredients and the principle of operation of the device are revealed. Steam, unlike tobacco smoke, does not contain harmful toxins and the concept of "passive smoking / spreading" does not apply to evaporators.
The electronic device is somewhat more convenient, than ordinary tobacco products.
- Absence of various harmful substances, contained in a regular cigarette.
- Safety for others and the ability to "float" indoors or elsewhere, where smoking regular cigarettes is prohibited.
- The user may be limited 1 – 2 puffs, so, use vape only when necessary. Lighting a cigarette, there is a natural need to finish smoking it. When a person decides to make a bad habit, it is quite possible to do without the EU, in times of acute need for nicotine you do not need to buy a pack of cigarettes or smoke a whole.
Types and characteristics of electronic cigarettes
There are many types of EU, but can be distinguished 4 main categories.
- Mini vaporizers are an excellent external imitation of a regular cigarette. Super-mini models can also be included in this group. A small disposable device holds a small battery and cartridge. The resource of a mini-cigarette is enough for 150-200 puffs, then the device is disposed of. Use does not require any manipulation, the evaporator works with each puff.
- Penstyle - a small cigarette, looks like a normal pen: length up to 15 cm, thickness 1 div. The life of one refill can be compared to one pack of cigarettes. Notable, that the design is standard, regardless of the manufacturer, all parts are interchangeable.
- Classic electronic devices - eGo or "egoshki". They are more, than mini, so, they have a larger cartridge and a large battery. This type of device is the most common, reusable e-cigarettes can be refilled, change their evaporators and drapes.
- Fashion (boxing mode, mehmod) - device, which looks a little like a regular cigarette. This is a whole block with buttons and additional functions. Cigars and pipes can be included in this category - all types of electronic cigarettes with a complex device.
Based on information, provided by sellers and manufacturers of various types of EU, there is a significant difference between the types. If the "mini" class options do not require maintenance, they are chosen on the principle of "what aroma and color of the case will be more pleasant", then more complex models need special attention. Each species should be considered in more detail, offered to users, evaluate their features and determine, which e-cigarette to buy.
Mini and penstyle
As already mentioned, mini and super-mini are the simplest and cheapest models, which do not require inclusion, refueling and any maintenance. Another name for this type is disposable e-cigarettes. Simple design is elementary in the address. If you want to try, what is an evaporator is the best choice.

The disadvantages of this device are obvious: the battery is small (in the middle - 200 mAh), the liquid runs out very quickly, a small atomizer generates very little steam.
Pensyl evaporators are obsolete, it's somewhere between a mini and an eGo. They have too small a battery for regular use, and for the one-time test the price and the increased resource are too appreciable.
"Egoshki"
Types of the eGo class have become the most widespread, they are equipped with a larger battery (600 – 1000 maH) and a large liquid cartridge, compared to "mini", in accordance, the size became larger. Depending on the model, they use an opaque cartomizer tank, combining the cartridge and the evaporator in one capsule or clearomizer, transparent container for liquid, connected to the vapor-forming capsule.
The eGo format is a good alternative to regular cigarettes, the evaporator is suitable for daily use, and the main advantage was the ability to refuel it, change the evaporator and charge the battery. Some models have power control.

At small sizes the cigarette generates the same amount of steam, how much smoke a cigarette with tobacco produces, in other words, has a "cigarette puff".
Fashion
These are the types of vape devices, as "boxmod" and "mehmod", are considered one of the most progressive or, as vape lovers express themselves - an advanced electronic cigarette. Choosing a mod will not be easy, especially as the first vape. The variety of choices and layouts is very large. The following are the main characteristics, inherent in this species.
- Power. In fashion, it can be very different, but the main thing is that it is regulated, so the user will be able to customize the vape. Usually, the most powerful models are equipped with two batteries.
- Battery capacity determines the time of continuous use, in accordance, the bigger it is, the longer the device will work. Medium capacity models will work one to one and a half days.
- The type of food is also important. There are versions with a built-in battery, charging from the network or via USB, or with a removable battery.
- Layout: combined model (box + atomizer) or an option for advanced - to a separate box, the user selects the automizer at its discretion.
There are also devices for cloud chasing - a kind of competition, where participants release clubs or rings of steam from vape devices. They have thick walls and good protection against overheating. Is it worth taking such a model for a beginner? Perhaps, if there is a great desire to compete.
Boxmods and mehmods are more powerful, than eGo, but more difficult to handle. Firstly, they can be adapted to your taste, different ways of winding the spiral will provide better taste and steam generation. Advanced users prefer to buy the tank and evaporator separately.
Boxmods are equipped with an electronic board, may have a display. They are functional, in addition to various adjustments, they have this option, as a thermostat. This function controls the operation of the EU, excluding "dry puff", when the user smokes a cigarette with an empty liquid tank.
It is worth noting, that such equipment is very useful: if there is no refill in the cigarette, the spiral begins to burn and smoke, and "dry tightening" leaves very unpleasant taste sensations.
Speaking of fashion, it should be noted, that this is not the best choice for beginners, as well as for those, who do not want to contact their service. Anyhow, will have to understand, how resistance affects the taste and volume of steam, how to properly wind a spiral, which consumables to choose.
Atomizer, clearomizer, cartomizer
The concept of atomizer combines all modifications, in other words, atomizers call a part of an electronic cigarette an evaporator. This is an important element of any wipe device, but it is worth being interested in them only when buying advanced models, after all, disposable they are built-in and not replaceable.
Atomizer - a classic evaporator, it is a ceramic flask with a spiral wound inside. Evaporator, responding to puffing, heats the liquid, turning it into steam. The atomizer is suitable for frequent changes of liquid with different tastes, it is easy to refuel and maintain. Lack of evaporator in need of regular cleaning, in addition, the closed tank does not allow to control visually the rest of liquid.
The clearomizer is the same atomizer, but combined with a cartridge. This type of evaporator has a transparent liquid tank, which is very convenient. Clearromizer is more in volume, easy to maintain, lasting. Cons - can retain the aroma of pre-filling.
Useful to know! When choosing a clearomizer, you should pay attention to its basis. Exist 3 see: allowable, removable or combined (removable and serviceable).
The cartomizer contains a replaceable disposable atomizer. The heater is deeply immersed in the liquid, which contributes to a thicker vapor, compared to classic EC.
What is better to choose
Beginners are advised to start with a disposable e-cigarette. Such devices are easy to handle and inexpensive. After a few puffs, we can conclude: the device is right for you or not.
Those who want to break the bad habit can choose a disposable cigarette, but if nicotine dependence is too strong, you will have to buy a new one very often, and this will result in significant costs. Reusable eGo version will be a good replacement for tobacco. The evaporator of the small size and usual cylindrical form generates small clubs of steam, similar to cigarettes.
To date, vaping is questionable, but entertainment. Paying tribute to fashion and admiring vaping, you can choose any advanced mod. For those, who does not want to delve into the peculiarity of the resistance and winding of the spiral, it is better to buy a combined version of boxmod (although it still needs to be serviced).
Boxmods have a more pronounced taste, knife "egoshki".
Users, who are very interested in the device, appreciate boxing, where the tank and atomizer are sold separately. The presence of a display will be unnecessary, where the installed power is displayed, thermal control, wide power range and attractive appearance. Aerobatics vaping - self-tuning fur fashion. The process will require knowledge and skills, but once users show interest in it, manufacturers provide the product.
From what age can you buy and use vape
Different models of vapes contain different particles of nicotine, similar to the fortress of cigarettes with tobacco. Among the liquids for e-cigarettes are nicotine-free or "empty" versions, so many are wondering, for how many years has vape smoking been allowed. To date, vape is a relatively new device, as such regulatory laws are not yet provided.
In practice, minors are unlikely to even be sold "empty" vape - the law on the sale of tobacco products is very strict and strictly controlled. Drawing an analogy with ordinary cigarettes, vape smoking for children under 18 years is highly not recommended. In the first place, e-cigarette visually mimics a bad habit and psychologically encourages the use of regular cigarettes. The line between "empty" and a nicotine cigarette is too clear, and vape with nicotine is insignificantly different from smoking light or very light cigarettes. There is a high probability of joining the ranks of tobacco addicts.
Experienced smokers, who moved to the EU, they are not recommended for non-smokers. Such reviews should be taken seriously - nicotine addiction is very strong.
Weips for beginners: review of popular models
You can buy an e-cigarette in an online store or a specialized offline department. Usually, manufacturers offer not only the device itself, but also various consumables for them. Here you can see, what a device of one type or another looks like, read reviews about interesting models. If there is difficulty in selecting an evaporator, replaceable battery or drape - consult your dealer, otherwise there is little risk of purchasing the wrong part.
It is difficult for novice vipers to choose a device: there is no experience and no idea about it, what is an evaporator in the case. To roughly imagine, from what to choose, just look at the description of the most popular models 2016 – 2017 years.
- What is important for beginners? Easy to maintain and use. The best choice of vape with a simple layout - the model My Von Erl. The device consists of a small battery pack and a replaceable cartridge-evaporator-tank for liquid. The e-cigarette is charged via a USB cable, battery capacity 350 maH. There are no buttons or adjustments on the vape, the evaporator is triggered by each puff. You do not have to service a cigarette, when the tank with liquid becomes empty - it is replaced with a new one.
- The Eleaf iCare model with a cigarette puff has received a lot of positive reviews. Outwardly, the device looks like a small box. Reusable consumables are installed here, as you need to service the device: refuel, change the evaporator. The advantage of vape is affordable, compact size and simple maintenance.
- Joyetech eGo-CC Smart - a reliable and compact "egoshka" with cartomizer and fluid flow control.
- iLike Stick V2 is the best choice for a beginner, who wants to choose a compact device with a large volume of thick steam. Like other "egoshki", this model is equipped with a reusable tank 2,5 ml, replaceable evaporator and built-in battery 1300 maH, presented in different colors. It is included by means of the special button.
- Vape Dovpo Ember Kit - advanced boxing fashion for beginners with attractive features. The device is more expensive than previous versions, has an evaporator power setting, small screen and three control buttons. The device works with nickel, titanium and stainless steel, built-in battery 1500 maH is charged via a USB cable.
Finally, I want to note, that the e-cigarette is becoming a way out for nicotine addicts, because it can be smoked (more precisely - "soar") in the office, by train, other public places. Opinion, that evaporators are safer than regular cigarettes, encourages the use of vapes as one of the methods of combating smoking, but it is rather a psychological device.
The active spread of evaporators has become a dubious trend, therefore, many non-smokers are interested in them. They are bought out of curiosity, referring to the same opinion, that they are safer. The result of such an experience is different, often becomes a habit.
