6 Things to Keep in Mind When Using E-Cigarettes
1. Dry hits. A dry hit happens when the coil overheats because there is not enough e-liquid in the atomizer, causing a harsh, spicy throat hit and poor flavor. There are many ways to avoid dry hits. First, make sure the atomizer or coil operates at the pr
1. Dry burning
Dry burning refers to the situation where the atomizer coil overheats due to insufficient e-liquid. At this point, not only does the e-cigarette taste harsh and irritating, but the flavor is also poor.
There are many ways to avoid dry burning. First, let the atomizer/coil work at the appropriate power. If an atomizer/coil has a maximum power of 15 watts, do not exceed 15 watts. Excessively high power can easily cause dry burning and significantly shorten the lifespan of the coil. For RTA atomizers, most do not specify a maximum power, and different coils for the same atomizer may have different maximum powers. In this case, you need to set the power according to the different types of atomizers and coils, adjusting gradually from low to high until reaching the appropriate power.
Different e-liquids can also affect dry burning to varying degrees. Generally, thinner e-liquids are less likely to cause dry burning, while thicker e-liquids are more prone to it.
2. Low battery voltage
Electronic devices generally have a minimum discharge voltage protection, so there is no need to worry too much. However, for mechanical devices, there is no minimum discharge voltage protection. Operating a battery below the minimum discharge voltage is very dangerous, so if you are using a mechanical device and the vapor noticeably decreases, consider replacing the battery. Do not wait until there is no vapor left to change the battery.
PS. Try to use electronic devices and avoid mechanical devices.
3. Dirty coils
After using an e-cigarette atomizer coil for a period, it will become black and carbonized. At this point, not only does the vapor decrease and the flavor worsen, but the heating wire's working temperature will also increase, making it prone to localized overheating and dry burning. Therefore, it is best to use clean coils and not wait until the flavor is unbearable to replace the atomizer.
4. Excessive throat hit
Some users prefer a strong throat hit, so they choose high nicotine concentration e-liquids and large vapor atomizers. Generally, this is not a problem, but moderation is key. It is recommended that small vapor atomizers do not exceed 18 mg, and large vapor atomizers do not exceed 12 mg. If a stronger throat hit is needed, consider using tobacco-flavored e-liquids, as they generally provide a stronger throat hit.
5. Using drip atomizers while driving
Just like talking on the phone while driving, it can be distracting. For your safety and the safety of others, absolutely do not use drip atomizers while driving.
6. Avoid nicotine overdose
Nicotine overdose, also known as nicotine OD, occurs because e-cigarettes essentially serve as nicotine delivery devices, feeding your body nicotine. Excessive nicotine intake is very dangerous. Mild cases may cause dizziness, while severe cases can lead to nausea, vomiting, symptoms of poisoning, and even life-threatening situations. Many e-cigarette users enjoy continuous vaping; for you, I suggest lowering the concentration. Some new users may want to try large vapor; for you, I suggest starting with 0 mg. Some users want to practice blowing smoke rings; for you, I suggest using nicotine-free pure glycerin.
