Hi there, welcome to the next eCigareta Fans video.
Today we will find out what electronic cigarettes are and how they work. Sort of a brief introduction.
You can search the web for the rest - including our forum.
Well - the electronic cigarette is a device, an electronic device :)
the working priciple of which consists in evaporating liquids.
Most electronic cigarettes include some kind of a cartridge
having a liquid with nicotine and flavour in it.
Another part is the so called atomizer - that is the element which becomes hot when the battery is activated,
starting to evaporate the e-juice contained in the cartridge.
And then - there's the battery.
There are at least two kinds of batteries.
Talking of electronic cigarettes of the common shape, some of them are designed to resemble normal cigarettes.
Then, there are cigarettes of entirely different shapes, such as this one - they look like a cigar
or even a pipe, but that's what we can discuss on another occasion.
The size varies mostly for reasons of capacity, each battery comes with a different capacity,
so some can last longer than other ones when used.
Nowadays, a vast majority are li-ion batteries - meaning they have no memory effect
and can be recharged anytime.
What's important - they are very sensitive to deep discharge!
That means that when the battery indicates the need to recharge - by blinking, for instance,
do not hesitate and recharge immediately.
Long-term storage of discharged batteries can result in an impossibility to recharge them again.
They are quite sensitive to that. You really do not need some 8 or even 10 hours of charging,
most user guides you get with your electronic cigarette mention old types of batteries - such as Ni-Mh,
which required formatting - that is a long first charging followed by deep discharging, repeating that once, twice..
..and keep charging for a long time. You don't need to do that with Li-ion batteries, they can be recharged anytime,
as there is no memory effect with them and recharging when they are not fully discharged has no impact on them.
The only problem is the deep discharge, so when the battery starts indicating - or even earlier
when you feel the vape is somewhat lighter - have it recharged immediately.
That way you will save a lot on batteries.
I've got two batteries here - one of them is a standard one, automatic, the other is manual, so it has a button on it.
That means that the first one operates when you take a drag from the cigarette, automatically,
and, as you can see, a diod lights up at the end of it when dragging.
The other one works after a button is pressed, which also makes the diode light up.
Maybe, you can see it a bit better here.
The heart of every cigarette is its atomizer. That's why some cigarettes produce less vapour,
while other ones produce much more of it. There are less powerful atomizers, and there are more powerful ones.
I have a puff, I see some vapour..
- that was an automatic one. With manual ones I need to press the button and drag afterwards...
...I take a puff.. and there's the vapour...
I've got one more here, which I would nearly have forgotten of -
recently the so called cartomizers have become common - with them the heating coil is a part of the cartridge.
Actually, there are only two parts instead of three in it - the battery and the cartomizer.
When you screw it on the eletronic cigarette it already contains the coil in it - that means the atomizer is already included,
as well as the tank, the juice cartridge, it's just all in one.
And..
..it also works normally.
Well, that's it about cartomizers.
And now let's go back: together with most electronic cigarettes, or even all of them..
comes the charger, which works when connected to the 220V mains, so when the battery starts blinking to indicate
that it's low, you take the charger, screw the battery onto it,
connect the cable - and plug it in the 220V supply.
That way the battery starts charging.
Or, you get a charger consisting of a USB plug and a mains adapter for 220V power supply
with a USB slot. With it, you can charge your battery straight from your computer - from any USB slot,
or, if there's no access to USB, you can use the mains adapter for 220V.
Screw the battery on this end, and this one goes to the mains.
It all works and it's quite simple.
So that would be it as far as the basics are concerned, you can check our forum or our website for more.
Have a great time and see you with some of our next videos - bye.
