Analysis and Rebuild Tutorial for Pod Cartridge Structure

2018 is the year when Xiaoyan returned to the hot spot. In fact, Xiaoyan has always existed in the past. However, this year, due to the high frequency of various brands launching new Xiaoyan products, it is particularly lively. There are only more than a dozen Xiaoyan products that I have evaluated in the past year. Xiaoyan is also a complete e-cigarette. It is compared to the traditional e-cigarette with a full-function host + atomizer architecture. On the one hand, it has simple functions, making it very small. On the other hand, it has a small power and produces smoke. It is also relatively small, so the industry affectionately calls it Xiaoyan. The structure of a small cigarette is usually two pieces. Take SMOK's NOVO small cigarette as an example. It usually consists of a mini and compact host and a cigarette bomb. If we look at the broad architecture definition of e-cigarettes, it is also a host + atomizer structure, but the host functions are very simple and the atomizer is also very small. The working principle is actually similar to that of a very complex full-function e-cigarettes.: The battery host provides heating energy, heats the cigarette oil in the cigarette bomb, atomize it into steam, and inhales it into the mouth to simulate the taste of the cigarette to achieve the purpose of replacing the cigarette.

Looking at the cigarette bomb, also take SMOK's NOVO small cigarette as an example. The structure of the cigarette bomb is basically the same. They all have a simple air flow path and a very small heating coil. Most of them use cotton cores to guide oil. The smoke in the oil bin of the cigarette bomb is guided to the heating coil. When the coil is heated, the smoke can be evaporated, achieving the role of replacing the smoke.

Although the working principles are similar, each manufacturer's cigarette bombs have different specifications due to different personalized designs. In fact, there are only a very small number of cigarette bombs on the market that happen to be interchangeable, and unlike equa listed here, none of the more than a dozen cigarette bombs can be universally used. This reminds equa of the printer cartridge market, and the reason should be the same.

The following is a general introduction to the common types of smoke bombs on the market, which will also facilitate everyone to understand the subsequent reconstruction and cracking. [Empty smoke bomb that can be filled with smoke oil (easy-to-disassemble type)]

Users of this kind of cigarette bombs are empty when they buy them. There is no tobacco oil. Users can add tobacco oil at will according to their preferences. Depending on the type of tobacco oil and the user's picky taste, they can use about 5 to 8 bins of oil. However, since this type of cigarette bomb is not sealed with glue, it can be easily disassembled and replaced with the cotton core for reconstruction. After eliminating the impact of carbon deposition, as long as the heating coil is not damaged, the cigarette bomb can be used forever and its life will be very long. For detailed disassembly, reconstruction and cracking, please refer to the tutorial in the next part.

The cigarettes included here are SMOK NOVO, Infinix, FIT, and Wlock PEAS from left. (The last one is UD VIE, which should be in Category 3 and was mistakenly entered into)

[Empty smoke bombs that can be filled with smoke oil (cannot be disassembled once formed)]

Users of this kind of cigarette bombs are empty when they buy them. There is no tobacco oil. Users can add tobacco oil at will according to their preferences. Depending on the type of tobacco oil and the user's picky taste, they can use about 5 to 8 bins of oil. Since the structure was formed and sealed last time, the carbon deposits were too serious and had to be discarded.

From left here are: SMOK ROLO Badge, Smoant R8, and Kangcheng First-grade King's Sword.

[Pre-filled smoke bomb]

Users of this type of cigarette bombs already have pre-filled tobacco oil when they buy them and can use them at hand. If oil filling can be cracked, it is the same as the second type. If it cannot be cracked, it can only be discarded. However, users don't have to feel too distressed. This type of cigarette bombs is usually customized with the cigarette oil, which has a high degree of compatibility with small cigarettes, and has an excellent taste.

[Replaceable atomizing core cigarette bomb]

This type of cigarette bomb is usually empty, but especially its heating core is a finished atomizing core, so they only need to be replaced with the atomizing core. The cigarette bomb can be used repeatedly, which is actually the same as the finished atomizer.

[iQOS Smoke Bomb]

This is a very special type of small cigarette. In fact, it is not the same type as the small cigarette we are talking about today. It uses a cigarette cartridge similar to a traditional cigarette, but its inner core is not tobacco, but a special paper soaked in tobacco extract. When used with a heated non-burning type of small cigarette, the taste is completely similar to that of a cigarette, and basically no adaptation period is needed. Due to the current control of my country's tobacco monopoly system, such small cigarettes have not yet taken shape, but in fact, a considerable number of people are already using them. They may usher in a huge eruption after China Tobacco Group launches similar products. A brief mention here is not the focus of this article. [How long does a cigarette bomb last?]

This question is actually difficult to answer because it has no standard answer.

If it is a pre-filled fully enclosed cigarette bomb, it can basically be discarded after absorbing the cigarette oil. Don't feel bad, because this type of cigarette bombs is usually customized with the cigarette oil, which has a high degree of compatibility with small cigarettes, and has an excellent taste.

For smoke bombs that can be added repeatedly with tobacco oil, you can use about 5 to 8 tanks of oil, and then judge whether to discard it based on the impact of carbon deposits on the taste. Therefore, the duration of use will vary depending on the tobacco oil used by each person and the degree of picky taste. Generally speaking, for users who use sweeter fruit oil (carbon deposition will be serious) and have higher requirements on taste, generally 2-3 warehouses will become unacceptable. On the contrary, 6-8 warehouses can still insist on using. For example, if the carbon deposit on the atomizing core has become like the picture below, how can the taste of the cigarette bomb be good?

But if the cotton core can be replaced, then the problem of carbon deposition will be solved. Basically, as long as the heating coil is not damaged, it is possible to use dozens of tanks of oil. How far the specific cost difference is, friends can calculate for themselves.

[SMOK NOVO Smoke Bomb Dismantling and Reconstruction]

Let's take SMOK NOVO's smoke bomb as an example to see how the smoke bomb is cracked. First, we need to use a flat-head screwdriver to pry the snaps on the base.

Due to NOVO's improvement in technology, this buckle is fastened very firmly and is difficult to remove without violence. Equa, with the mentality of throwing it away anyway, worked hard to perform a miracle and finally removed it. Of course, the result would not be very beautiful.

After removing the metal button, use tweezers to pick it at the air hole. Students with hard nails can also try to directly open the seal at the bottom with their hands.

In this way, the atomizing core can be separated from the oil bin, so that the atomizing core at the core part can be removed:

It can be seen from the atomizing core that NOVO adopts a horizontal coil design, which is very similar to the structure of general RBA. However, its heating coil is welded to the electrode. Friends with skillful hands can also consider replacing it freely. However, the life of the coil is generally No problem for a few months, all that needs to be replaced is cotton.

As a steam smoke player, there is never a shortage of cotton and disposable paper towels. You can remove the original cotton and replace it with your own cotton. Pay attention to the amount of cotton used must be enough, otherwise it will lead to a full mouth of tobacco oil when smoking too quickly.

Cut the cotton on both sides until it is flush with the base (if it is too long, it will turn back unsightly if it is put into the atomization bin). When installing, pay attention to first install the long anti-leakage rubber ring that is combined with the base. Then install the top rubber ring. There is a very important detail here, which is to observe whether the amount of cotton is sufficient after the two rubber rings are combined and whether the joint opening on the side can be completely blocked. If the amount of cotton is small, it will lead to the installation. The oil is guided too quickly, and a puff of tobacco oil is inhaled when smoking.

The remaining parts can be reversed in turn according to the disassembly process. The step of attaching the base requires a little patience. Stuff the round end into the round hole, and be careful not to use force. If the rubber ring is not installed or scratched, it will lead to oil leakage.

Then put the metal bottom cover back and use pliers to clip it back to its original shape. It will get stuck when you don't plug it back into the main unit. This picture shows that the side is indeed damaged, but it is equivalent to getting a new cigarette bomb again. Why not?

[SMOK Infinix Smoke Bomb Dismantling and Reconstruction]

Similarly, for SMOK Infinix, there is actually a similar disassembly method. It is much simpler to disassemble than the NOVO above. Basically, there is no need to crack violently. Its metal bottom cover is relatively loose, so you can use a flat-head screwdriver to pick it up at the bottom. It can be disassembled.# p#pagination title #e#

This is a completely disassembled structure diagram, which is very similar to the previous NOVO structure, and the reconstruction method is basically the same.

[SOMK FIT Smoke Bomb Dismantling and Reconstruction]

For SMOK FIT's cigarette bomb disassembly, it is simpler than the first two. You just need to put the flat-head screwdriver into the base and pick it up. After loosening it, you can directly open the bottom cover.

This is the appearance after complete disassembly, and the structure is similar to the former two.

[Warlock PEAS Smoke Bomb Dismantling and Reconstruction]

Roughly similar is the dismantling of Warlock PEAS Pea Cigarette. The structure after disassembly is basically similar, so I won't go into detail here.

[Other reuse]

For cigarettes that cannot be disassembled smoothly like the previous models, they are usually fixed in a one-time molding and sealing of plastic materials. There is no possibility of disassembly when leaving the factory. Most of these cigarettes cannot be disassembled without damage. Violent demolition cannot ensure its tightness. If oil leaks damage the main engine, it will not be worth the gain. Therefore, the idea of rebuilding and replacing the cotton core is not feasible.

Some of these bombs are designed to be re-oiled and are designed to be used repeatedly 5-8 times, such as SMOK Rolo Badge and Smoant S8 (the second type of bomb mentioned above), which can still be reused. However, for cigarette bombs that are pre-filled with tobacco oil and cannot be disassembled with a one-time sealing design, they will be discarded after the tobacco oil is used up. This is a pity (i.e. the third type of cigarette bombs mentioned above). For this type of cigarette bombs, consider drilling a hole in the cigarette bomb with a tool, then injecting the cigarette bomb into the cigarette bomb with a syringe, and then using silica gel to block the opening. It can be reused at least several times. Reduce costs to a certain extent.

[Write at the end]

A brand without profit has no future. The essence of business is to seek profits. This is understandable. From this perspective, I believe that manufacturers 'attitudes towards consumables' profits are also very contradictory: on the one hand, if the cost of using cigarettes as consumables is much higher than that of competitors, resulting in slow sales, this is absolutely unacceptable; but if it is open enough, a cigarette bomb can last for a year, and users will not need to buy cigarettes frequently. I believe that this result is also something manufacturers do not want to see. Therefore, we saw various forms of smoke bombs and speculated that they might have been deliberately left by the manufacturers, so we left this to smart readers and friends to judge.

Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to personally recommend friends with financial means to regard the cigarette bomb as disposable use. Objectively speaking, the taste of the cigarette bomb after various cracking is still somewhat worse than the original one. In addition to the quality of the cotton core, the performance of the heating wire after repeated use will be reduced, which will also have a fatal impact.

Of course, I believe that in addition to the cost of use, many players are more satisfied with the fun of DIY. For players with strong hands-on skills, this is also an amateur pastime.
