A Detailed Beginner’s Guide to E-cigarettes

What is an electronic cigarette

The concept of e-cigarettes: E-cigarettes are driven by batteries and heat the cigarette liquid into steam to obtain the same smoke effect as real cigarettes. E-cigarettes are also known as steam cigarettes. It is meaningless not to compare them with real cigarettes, because they are not a class of products at all!
 
People suitable for e-cigarettes

Those who have been addicted to smoking for a long time and have bad feelings, those who have been working in non-smoking places for a long time and have smoking habits, and those who are interested in quitting smoking!

People who are taboo on e-cigarettes

Minors, non-smoking and allergic to nicotine, people unsuitable for smoking, pregnant women and breast-feeding mothers, pneumonia patients, people with a history of heart problems and hypertension!

The difference between e-cigarettes and real cigarettes

The difference between e-cigarettes and real cigarettes is that e-cigarettes do not contain hundreds of carcinogens and heavy metals such as tar, carbon monoxide, mercury, and lead after burning real cigarettes, and only purified nicotine (commonly known as nicotine). E-cigarettes produce steam rather than smoke and will not cause pollution and blackening of the lungs. Compared with real cigarettes, the harm is almost negligible. It is a substitute for real cigarettes and can also be used as an auxiliary transition to smoking cessation! Using e-cigarettes for one day is only equivalent to the caffeine content of a cup of coffee.

The life of e-cigarettes

E-cigarettes have a long life. Just like mobile phones, it depends on how you maintain them. They are difficult to break without being knocked down! Consumables are determined based on the amount of smoking.

Consumables of e-cigarettes

The consumable of e-cigarettes is cigarette liquid, and the semi-consumable is the atomizing core (used to heat the cigarette liquid into steam. If the atomizing core is well maintained, each can last for half a month!

Composition of smoke liquid

The main ingredients of the cigarette liquid are: propylene glycol (pharmaceutical industry supplies, sweet in taste, antiseptic, disinfection and drying effects, and non-toxic to humans), glycerol (commonly known as glycerol, often used in skin care products, and after decomposition by the human body, it becomes fat, non-toxic), purified Nicotine (commonly known as nicotine, determines the strength of the cigarette, and the trace is harmless) and tobacco flavor (determines the taste of tobacco)! Using e-cigarettes for one day is only equivalent to the caffeine content in a cup of coffee, so don't worry!

Taste of smoke liquid

E-cigarettes and real cigarettes are not comparable. The first misunderstanding of novices is to use real cigarettes and e-cigarettes to compare them! The result is that thousands of dollars are spent searching for smoke liquids that do not exist in the world. For example, the Chinese taste of e-cigarettes can only be compared with the Chinese taste of other brands of cigarette liquids, not with real cigarettes. Compared with real cigarettes, there are completely two Chinas. Even the Chinese and Chinese between e-cigarettes and e-cigarettes are also the same two Chinas! As for which cigarette liquid is close to real cigarette, it varies from person to person. The history of smoking before is different and the feelings are different. 10,000 people have 10,000 opinions and 10,000 feelings on one cigarette liquid. Just like watching a Dream of the Red Chamber, each scholar has different experiences., reading from different angles means different opinions and feelings. When you are new to e-cigarettes, it is recommended to have extensive exposure to flavors to find personal unique preferences, because no one can replace the recommendation. What others like may not necessarily be what you like, and what you like may not necessarily be accepted by others. Domestic cigarette smoke such as Zhonghua, Furong Wang and other flavors are completely different, and many of the flavors are even exotic! For example, Hengxin feels that his voice is spicy, and Dekang feels that it is smelly.

How long can the smoke liquid last?

A bottle of 10ml cigarette liquid can last for about a week depending on the amount of cigarette (10ml = the amount of 10 boxes of cigarettes). The number of puffs and the time each person smokes are different. There are half an hour to smoke one cigarette, and there are 10 minutes to smoke one cigarette. Some people have large lung capacity, and smoke two and three puffs in one puff. Depending on personal usage, the consumption of cigarette liquid and electricity are also different! This can only be said to be rough and cannot give specific numbers in mathematical terms.

Maintenance of e-cigarettes

The maintenance of an e-cigarette mainly includes two parts, battery maintenance and atomizing core maintenance. Needless to say, in terms of battery maintenance, in terms of maintenance of the atomizing core (this is true for any e-cigarette), keep the smoke liquid at no less than 1/3 of the level, so that the root of the suction rope of the atomizing core is wetted as much as possible by the smoke liquid. In this way, it is not easy to dry burning the atomizing core, and the life of the atomizing core can be extended to the maximum (an atomizing core can be replaced once every half a month if it is well maintained). This is like a candle. If the wax oil cannot be supplied to the wick, the wick rope will be carbonized. When the battery is full, the smoke liquid is more than half, and the amount of smoke is [significantly reduced] compared with before, it is time to replace the atomizing core!

How to clean e-cigarettes

Before replacing different flavors of cigarette liquids, it is best to clean the atomizer (even after a long time) to prevent the appearance of a third flavor that you dislike (even combine to form a burnt flavor). However, some people like to create their own flavors and specialize in cross-flavor smoking (for example, many people like to mix tobacco flavor and mint flavor).

[Cleaning method]: The e-cigarette consists of two parts, the upper part is called the atomizer, and the black or white pole below is called the battery pole. When cleaning, unscrew the battery rod off and put it aside. Never let the battery rod touch water (you cannot clean the battery rod). Unscrew the cigarette holder on the atomizer and the metal base under the atomizer, and finally unscrew the atomizing core on the base. Just rinse it from the faucet at will (be careful not to throw away the small inner rubber ring when unscrewing these things). Before finally putting on the battery pole, you must dry the base of the atomizer and cool it, otherwise it will cause a short circuit and burn the battery pole!

About quitting smoking with e-cigarettes

Quitting smoking itself is a physical and psychological effect. There are no drugs in the world that can stop smoking!& ldquo; The word precepts and the word Rong are both knives on the head. Those who dare to say the word precepts must have psychological precepts and those who have the courage to implement them can be said to be precepts. The word itself is a painful choice, as difficult as cutting off a finger bitten by a poisonous snake. If you want to quit smoking, you should first quit your heart. Without perseverance, any medication assistance will be in vain.

E-cigarettes are just an aid in quitting smoking. They cannot kidnap people TO DO Same THING. They can only help you replace the real cigarettes originally used for chronic suicide with fake cigarettes! You must know that every time you smoke a real cigarette, you are one step closer to cancer, and smoking e-cigarettes for a day is just the harm of drinking a cup of coffee!

Adhere to using e-cigarettes and never touch a real cigarette again. After a week, use real cigarettes again. If you don't have half a cigarette, you will lose the real cigarette or even retch. Because of the long-term lack of contact with dust particles and tar from real cigarettes, the trachea and lungs slowly regained their previous sensitivity to particulate matter. To achieve complete smoking cessation, both physical and psychological effects are needed. It takes at least one month to refuse real cigarettes to reverse the psychological dependence on real cigarettes!

About Nicotine

The main harm of nicotine is that it makes people addicted to smoking. Nicotine, which has been closely related to death, cancer, etc. for the past century, has received a lot of new attention in recent years, and many experts have cleared its name. Nicotine in cigarettes does not cause much harm. The real carcinogens are tar and carbon monoxide. Nicotine can only cause cancer if it directly acts on the human body at extremely high purity (direct action means blood injection). The nicotine content in tobacco is far below this standard, and e-cigarettes are even less. Using e-cigarettes for one day is only equivalent to the caffeine content in a cup of coffee! A small amount of nicotine does not cause direct harm to the human body. Currently, clinical studies have shown that nicotine is expected to become an effective drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and depression. At the same time, nicotine exists not only in tobacco leaves, but also in the fruits of various Solanaceae plants. For example, tomatoes, wolfberry fruits and other plants contain nicotine, but these vegetables and medicinal materials are recognized as beneficial to the human body. Healthy food.

Nicotine content comparison table

Nicotine content inhaled per cigarette:

A cigarette can smoke about 10 to 15 puffs

Typically, the nicotine content of cigarettes ranges from 0.5 mg to 2.4 mg. A cigarette requires about 15 puffs, and the nicotine content inhaled per puff is:

- When the nicotine content of the cigarette is 1.6 mg: 1.6/15 = 0.107 mg

- When the nicotine content of the cigarette is 0.5 mg: 0.5/15 = 0.033 mg

Nicotine content inhaled per puff of e-cigarettes:

The weight of 1ml of smoke liquid is equivalent to 1 g

The nicotine concentration in e-cigarette liquid is (based on 1g, i.e. 1000mg):

- 16mg (i.e. 1.6%)

- 11mg (i.e. 1.1%)

- 6mg (i.e. 0.6%)

- 0mg (i.e. 0%)

According to the different nicotine content of the cigarette liquid, a cigarette containing 1ml can be smoked for 300 puffs. The nicotine content inhaled per puff of the e-cigarette is:

- For high concentrations: 16 mg-- 16/300 = 0.05 mg

Why is the smoke decreasing?

First make sure the battery is full and the smoke liquid is above 1.3 ml. If you want to have a large amount of smoke, you must master the strength and take a long breath. Instead of taking a short breath with brute force like a real cigarette! (EGO's normal smoke is slightly larger than real smoke)

What is an oil leak

The concept of oil leakage is: smoke liquid flows out from abnormal channels, such as leaking from abnormal channels such as the outside of the atomization chamber glass, the base of the atomizer, and the outside of the cigarette holder. The occasional inhalation of tobacco oil from the cigarette holder does not belong to an oil leakage phenomenon. This kind of water droplets are usually condensed by the accumulation of [atomized steam]. The solution: throw the cigarette holder downward to remove the remaining liquid, and then twist it into a rope with a paper towel. Just stick it in, rotate it and wipe it dry. If it doesn't work anymore, directly replace the atomizing core to solve the problem.

This situation usually occurs among novices. Many people who use e-cigarettes for the first time and don't understand how to control e-cigarettes may easily cause smoke liquid inhalation in the mouth. This situation rarely occurs when older people use the same e-cigarette. Changing from a real cigarette to an e-cigarette is like changing a coach car to a private car. The switch between a throttle with speed and a throttle without speed must pay attention to the strength of your foot. It takes time to adapt to and understand e-cigarettes. It is a mistake to have Bole and then have a thousand-mile horse. In fact, the two are present at the same time, but it takes time to tacit understanding. Don't encounter normal phenomena and be surprised to see oil leaks. Real oil leaks are not like this!

How to solve oil spills”

In general, the so-called oil leakage or inhalation of cigarette liquid in the mouth is not a real oil leakage, but a misunderstanding caused by a lack of understanding of e-cigarettes or improper human operation. Generally speaking, it can be divided into the following five situations. E-cigarettes are different from real cigarettes, and must be careful about how to use them. (If you only inhale cigarette oil occasionally, it is within the normal range. As long as it is an e-cigarette, there will be vapor condensation residue. Just throw out the residual cigarette liquid in the cigarette holder, then roll it into a paper stick with toilet paper and stick it into the cigarette holder and rotate it to wipe it!)

1. In use, the correct use posture of e-cigarettes is that one end of the battery rod is tilted downward, instead of lifting it up and smoking!

2. It is best to add the smoke liquid to 1.3ML, and the maximum should not exceed 1.6ML (there is a scale on the e-cigarette atomization cabin)

3. If there is no problem in the above method, replace it and atomize the core. The reason is that the ropes of individual atomizing cores are too thin, resulting in too fast intake of smoke liquid. Just replace them.

4. The method of adding smoke liquid was wrong from beginning to end. I didn't watch the video demonstration of adding smoke liquid at all.

5. Finally, there is another situation: When some people unscrew the battery rod, they don't grab the metal thread in the middle of the e-cigarette, but grab the glass compartment of the atomizer and twist it, resulting in the glass compartment of the atomizer being unscrewed or loosened between it and the threads, causing oil to get on your hands! (Just tighten it)

Odor and burnt smell and solutions

The reasons for the burnt smell of e-cigarettes are all related to the daily maintenance of the atomizing core, and are generally solved around the contact surface between the atomizing core and the liquid. The test time range will exceed 1 day before the problem can be explained (often it will be fine the next day). If it is still not solved, please contact me to explain the situation! (It's just that the occasional burnt smell is within the normal range, so please don't bother)

1. Bubbles appear in the atomizing core, making it difficult for liquid to enter; the solution is to take several puffs hard and then spit out the scorched smoke, and swing the cigarette holder downward several times to eliminate the bubble factor. Leave it for a while and try again.

2. The rope of some atomizing cores is too thick, causing the liquid to enter the interior of the atomizing core too slowly; the solution is to replace the atomizing core.

3. The newly replaced atomizing core has a burnt smell; the solution is to add smoke liquid to the newly replaced atomizing core and lay it flat for a few minutes before using it. It will be spat out in the first 10 puffs when using it!

4. There is too little smoke liquid in the atomization chamber, resulting in dry burning; the solution is to keep the smoke liquid no less than 1/3 and always keep the root of the atomization core wet with smoke liquid when smoking.

5. The atomization core has been used for too long and its life is up (life depends on daily maintenance); the solution is to replace the atomization core.

6. Personal taste problems lead to differences in the cigarette liquid experience. Some people smoke a certain taste and feel burnt; if there is no solution, change the cigarette liquid taste test.

Is the greater the amount of smoke, the better?

You can choose an e-cigarette smoke that is not much different from a real cigarette. Everything has two sides. We must understand the truth that things will turn against when they reach extremes. Traditional Chinese medicine is harmless, and eating too much will cause diarrhea. Nicotine is harmless in a small amount, and food additives are also harmless in a small amount. However, if you want to eat e-cigarettes as food, the harm is comparable to the tar and carbon monoxide of real cigarettes, and it is even better to smoke real cigarettes! Therefore, the amount of smoke is not as large as possible. It is only moderate and enough is enough.# p#pagination title #e#
