What are the types of e-cigarettes and the differences between them
Electronic cigarettes are available in various forms, each individual model has its own characteristics. The size of a cigarette determines its life: the larger the case, the larger the cartridge and the battery fits there. Smoking liquid is poured into the cartridge, and the battery powers the evaporator. All e-cigarettes can be divided into six types, each of them has its own external data: size and shape. The classification is marked A-F.
"Super-mini" (A)
Super-mini versions look very much like a regular cigarette. The length of the device does not exceed 10,5 div. The small body hides a small rechargeable battery 85 magician and miniature cartridge with smoking liquid capacity up to 400 μl. Electronic cigarettes of this class can be used, who smokes "on occasion" or very little - within 5 cigarettes per day.
"Super-mini" are low price and low resource: the battery discharges quickly, and the smoking mixture ends quickly.
"Mini" (V)
"Mini" models have the shape of a regular cigarette, but, unlike "super-mini", they are longer - up to 12 div. The resource of devices of this class is a little higher, in them establish batteries to 200 magician, and the cartridge of the most capacious model is calculated on 500 μl. One mini-cigarette will replace up 15 ordinary without recharging.
Penstyle (C)
Penstyle electronic cigarettes are designed to replace a whole pack of cigarettes on one charge. The case is similar in size to an ordinary handle: diameter up to 1 cm, length not more 17,5 div. The medium size and the usual shape of the cigarette allowed you to put the battery in the device 290 magician and a spacious cartridge, where you can pour 0,9 ml of aromatic mixture. Models of this class look different from regular cigarettes, Nonetheless, such a device will easily fit in an inside pocket, without creating discomfort.
Cigars (D)
The device is similar in length to the penstyle models, but significantly exceeds their diameter. The large size holds a battery with a good capacity (from 700 mAh) and a large automatic liquid cartridge (from 1,2 ml). In accordance, the vape resource of this class significantly exceeds the performance of category AC. Also, "cigars" produce much more steam, that will please fans of "clouds".
Fashion (E)
Boxmods or mehmods are not much like a cigarette, but the square body fits easily in your hand. The device is designed for intensive use: capacitive batteries up to 2200 the magician and the capacious container for automatic smoking mix will provide long time of continuous use. The advanced evaporator is able to generate large clubs of steam.
Among other things, the case of the average size allows to install in it an electronic board (box mods), steam generation control system, adjust the nicotine supply, place a small display on the outside.
Electronic tubes (F)
Fans of colorful exotics will appreciate the models of the class "tube". Electronic versions look like the size and shape of a normal smoking pipe. The big sizes allowed to establish in the case big, capacious battery to 1000 magician, but such a device is very rarely on sale.
In addition to differences in e-cigarette size, it is worth paying attention to their technical characteristics. Different types of vape may include several subtypes of devices with different cartridge and battery capacity.
Existing types of atomizers
The evaporator or atomizer is responsible for the function of generating steam. All types of atomizers are divided by type of service:
- are serviced, where the user can replace cotton wool and coils;
- unattended, removable or replaceable, if the user does not want to change the "consumables", it is optimal to choose this type;
- combined - it can be replaced or replaced by cotton wool and winding on their own.
According to the type of evaporator, there is a classification of types of electronic cigarettes.
- RDA. Permissible evaporator, one of the simplest species, where the aromatic mixture is absorbed into the wick. In the people the atomizer is called "dripka". The total volume is relatively small - this requires regular replenishment of fluid. Pros of dripping in simple and easy maintenance, maximum taste and a large amount of steam with good cooling.
- RTA. Permissible type of atomizers with a tank for smoking liquid. The mixture is transferred to the coil by capillary method, through cotton wool.
- RDTA. This is an improved analogue, where the types of RDA and RTA are combined, serviced drip-type atomizer combines a drip and a tank.
- Cartomizer. Its peculiarity is that, that it constructively combines a replaceable cartridge disposable evaporator-atomizer. There are options with sintepon liquid storage. Deep fit of the cartridge heater promotes the formation of thick and saturated steam. The disadvantage of the cartomizer is the opaque body.
- Clearomizer. One of the most common types - clearomizer - combined a container for smoking mixture, combined with an evaporation chamber. There are three types of such atomizers: variable, serviced, combined. The transparent case allows to control visually the rest of liquid. Cleromizer is suitable for beginners: non-detachable housing at the end of service life is simply replaced with a new one.
- Bacomizer traditionally consists of a container for smoking aroma mixture, spiral and vaporizing chamber.
- Tankomizer. The design provides a separate container for liquid.
- Genesis. Quite a complex evaporator, made in the form of a grid. This atomizer is used only in expensive models.
Experienced users prefer to opt for the types served. Combined or variable types are best for vaping beginners.
What is the difference between disposable and reusable cigarettes
Types of e-cigarettes divide all the variety of models by duration of use into disposable and reusable. Disposable e-cigarettes are often acquired as "acquaintances" with a device or a certain taste. Size, as well as the resource of such models, modest, but there are one-time versions and on 350-400 puffs.
The cigarette is turned on with each puff, so using such devices is very simple. There are no buttons or adjustments on the case, which in turn limits the functionality. Disposable models are not collapsible, they do not charge batteries, the cartridge for the smoking mixture is not refilled.
One of the purposes of using an electronic probe is to evaluate, how suitable the device is for the user. Many vape owners note, that in the first days of smoking there is a dry throat, less often - dizziness. The one-time model will allow you to test the device, without risking a large sum of money.
Disposable electronic cigarette sampler (disposable E-cigarette)
Reusable electronic devices speak for themselves: they are designed for long-term use. This category includes all species, except for the "super-mini" and "mini" class. The cost of such models can reach several thousand rubles, but the quality of workmanship will be high. Usually, such models are equipped with a powerful and capacious battery, which can be charged via USB cable.
The capacity for the aromatic mixture is also reusable, when the liquid runs out - it is filled.
Devices for regular use are the choice of experienced vapers, who know for sure, what they like. in addition, intensive heating of disposable models will cost more.
Division by type of management
By type of control, all types of electronic devices are divided into automatic and manual. Automatic used on disposable models and cigarettes "mini" or "penstyle". The device is started with each puff, the traction sensor is activated, pulse, which is transmitted from the microprocessor, on the inhale lights the LED (located there, where a regular cigarette contains coal). Automatic cigarettes are very simple and easy to use. There is no need to make any adjustments, press the buttons - you can just smoke the inhaler, like a regular cigarette.
Hand models, according to experienced vapers, the first time is not very convenient. That the cigarette turned on, the user needs to press the button. There is an advantage in such a layout - functionality. The owner of the device can adjust the generation of the pair, increase or decrease the dose of nicotine.
The vape trend fully supports the emergence of technological innovations, which gives reason to expect updates to the model lines in the near future. Among the six existing species, anyone will be able to choose the right option, whether it is a disposable cigarette "on trial" or a functional cigarette, able to generate whole clouds of fragrant steam.
