Popular Vaping Basics: Which Generation of Vaping Devices Have You Used?

Electronic cigarettes are electronic products that replace traditional cigarettes. They are popular among smokers because they do not involve an open flame and do not produce harmful substances such as tar and carbon monoxide. They help users quit smoking by providing vapor containing nicotine, which is essentially similar to nicotine patches and lozenges, and serves as a method to aid in quitting smoking.

The mainstream and permitted electronic cigarette products on the market are electronic vaporizing devices that heat e-liquids to produce vapor. The first modern commercial product was launched by Chinese pharmacist Han Li in 2004.

"Like Smoke" looks like a cigar and can simulate the experience of using a real cigarette. It quickly gained popularity in the European and American markets, but due to high equipment costs, the electronic cigarette market remains unclear in various countries. It rapidly entered the market and became a historical relic.

With advancements in technology, a two-level rechargeable electronic cigarette device was born, commonly known as "big smoke." Big smoke has strong plasticity. More advanced users choose suitable hosts and atomizers based on their actual needs. Some users even make their own atomizers and pursue the DIY fun of creating products. So far, big smoke still occupies a portion of the electronic cigarette industry's market share.

Due to its large size, it is inconvenient to carry. In response to market demand, electronic cigarette brands have launched a heavy-duty device, also known as "small smoke." The small smoke compression device integrates the atomizer with the battery. Its compact structure makes it more convenient to carry, becoming a mainstream product in the market. Brands such as IQOS, RELX, and MOTI have launched their own resale products.

Recently, disposable cigarettes have become the new favorite of the market. With its social attributes, it has made a bloody path in the small smoke category. Disposable small smoke is affordable, does not require charging, and is easy to share, becoming a recommended alternative for smokers. Recently, IQOS launched a new Bling series with 2.5ml of e-liquid + 330 mAh battery, once again refreshing the knowledge of small smoke in the electronic cigarette market with its high cost-performance ratio. Looking ahead to the future of the small smoke market, it must attract consumers' attention with taste, quality, and cost-effectiveness.

Relevant data shows that as of June 2019, 14 electronic cigarette companies in China had completed financing, with a total financing amount of approximately 574 million yuan, higher than the total investment amount for the previous year. The influx of capital has also led more smokers to start paying attention to electronic cigarettes.

In general, electronic cigarettes are rapidly developing towards being small and precise. The entry of capital and the establishment of national standards will make the entire electronic cigarette industry a well-ordered and healthy development model. This is undoubtedly good news for smoking users.
