How Does The Electronic Cigarette Work

How do these new electronic cigarettes work? Well that is pretty simple. The electronic cigarette comes with a cartridge with liquid nicotine inside, an atomizer, and a battery. The atomizer chamber heats up pretty quickly and turns the nicotine into a vapor you breathe in. Do not worry though, it is not like breathing in boiling steam, the vapor is cool and the device does not burn your hands.

You can feel the nicotine almost immediately after taking a drag, some say faster than a tobacco based cigarette does, mostly because it is a water vapor rather than real smoke that is combusted, even with lower doses.

Even better, an electronic cigarette looks, feels, and tastes like a real cigarette. An led light means that the tip glows red while you are taking a drag as well.

The battery charges using a charger similar to the one you plug your cell phone into, and many starter kits come with two batteries so you can bring both charged on a long outing, or you can charge one battery while you are using the other to smoke.

The companies are not promoting electronic cigarettes as a stop smoking device, but as a device to allow smokers to smoke both in public and to smoke without breathing in the carcinogens that do smokers so much harm.

This product is for people that wish to continue smoking, but would like to give up the tar and smoke something that feels a little cleaner.

There is no concern to be had about second hand smoke either, so being in public does not offend anyone and is not effected by the smoking ban.

You might take a little flack for them in public until you explain what the device actually is. Refill cartridges add up to a cost far lower than purchasing cigarettes by the pack. With some brands, a cheap pack of 5 cartridges can last as long as 100 cigarettes.

The cartridges come in regular, medium, and low strengths and some offer no nicotine cartridges so that you can recreate smoking without any of the harmful effects.

Many smokers are just as addicted to the ritual of smoking and the breathing out smoke as they are the nicotine in the cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes recreate the whole process of smoking save for the lighting a match or lighter part.

While there are those opposing electronic cigarettes, those who use them seem to be true converts when they find how much easier it is to light up.
