Choosing a quality vaporizer for e-cigarettes

The pharmacist from China Hon Lik is considered the inventor of the electronic cigarette. Could he, in the distant 2003, think that the device he had developed would become so popular? The electronic steam generator has many advantages: no fire, minimal damage to health, repeated use and simple maintenance. The main part in the electronic cigarette can be called a vaporizer. We will take a closer look at its features and show you how to choose a vaporizer for an electronic cigarette.

Evaporator device and value

In the mechanism of the electronic cigarette, the vaporizer is of great importance - it is he who provides steam formation from filled in vape fluid.Consequently, the taste and density of the steam produced depends on such characteristics of the evaporator as the design, size, resistance of the spiral.

As you know, an electronic cigarette consists of two main elements: a mod with a battery and an evaporator (otherwise it is called a tank, an atomizer). The evaporator is the part of the electronic cigarette in which the container for pouring liquid and the heating coil with a wick wrapped in cotton or padding polyester are located. Cotton wool is impregnated with a liquid (most often it contains glycerin, propylene glycol, nicotine and all sorts of flavors). When the battery is turned on, current is supplied to the evaporator. The heating coil is quickly heated, and the cotton wool begins to evaporate, turning into thick puffs of tasty steam.

Beginners who have never tried vaping, it will be difficult to understand the classification of various devices associated with it. In addition, new products constantly appear on the e-cigarette market, and previously popular devices are slowly becoming a thing of the past. To find "your" device, you have to go through a lot of options.So, now the most common modifications of “bathers” are clearomizers and drips. Clearomizers - models with a transparent (most often glass) case with an evaporator inside.

As a rule, the majority of clearomizers are serviced, that is, their parts can be replaced if necessary. The volume of containers for liquids reaches 6-7 ml.

Drip atomizers are also serviced. Standard dripka looks like a metal cylinder with 2-3 screws for fixing the heating coil. Here the winding of the spiral is completely manual, in addition, it is necessary to fill the cotton wool with one's own hands. The mouthpiece is screwed to the metal base from above. Different types of atomizers (clearomizer, dripka, vapomayzer, tank-maser and batch.) Evaporators differ in characteristics.

Most often evaporators are considered in terms of maintenance.

1. TO serviced These include tanks where you can independently wind the heating coil, as well as adjust the degree of winding, the resistance force, etc.
2. Unattended practically do not leave the user the choice of settings - in this case, you can only change the liquid in the tank.

When buying an electronic evaporator, you need to take into account the following parameters: the number of spirals, their width, the type of winding, the material, the resistance that the atomizer can withstand. To better navigate these parameters, it is better to know the classification of evaporators today.

Evaporator Classification

Manufacturers produce a lot of varieties of vaporizers for electronic cigarettes, so that users can easily get lost in the names and models. These are the main criteria by which tanks are classified.

By design

Depending on the design of the tank, the mechanism of its functioning changes:

• blowing method nichrome spiral (the place where the air is taken and how it is directed to the heating element);
• a place that contains liquid for refilling;
• method of supplying non-flammable liquid to the spiral (can be carried out using one wick or several).

In size

The size of the device determines how aesthetically pleasing, stylish and compact it looks, as well as how convenient it is to operate. Depending on the size, the following groups of evaporators are distinguished.

1. Diameter not more than 9 mm.Very thin devices for vape, outside almost indistinguishable from ordinary cigarettes.
2. Diameter from 10 to 14 mm - format called ego. Perhaps these are the most common devices among vapers, since they successfully combine compactness, ease of maintenance and impressive technical features (sufficient battery capacity, thick and rich steam, excellent taste and pleasant aroma).
3. Diameter 17 mm. They are also quite popular, but less convenient in everyday life.
4. Diameter 20 mm. Medium-sized devices - both in size and in characteristics. They are much more “standard ego”
5. The diameter of 22-23 mm. Another ego format standard. Have a capacious battery and all without exception are serviced. Devices with a diameter of more than 23 mm are no longer too comfortable to use - they are uncomfortable, large and have considerable weight.

Spiral resistance

Another important indicator in determining the quality of the steam generator. To the greatest degree depends on the strength of the resistance of the spiral, the rate at which the liquid in the vape evaporates. In standard models, the resistance values ​​do not exceed 2.5 ohms. There are also models with minimum values ​​(0.3-0.5 ohms),but they are not in great demand and are available in limited quantities. All because of - fragility.

1. 1.6 ohm - the filled solution evaporates very intense, as a result, the steam formed becomes warm, thick and has a rich taste.
2. 1.8 ohms Perhaps the most acceptable option. Electronic steam generators with similar resistance are very much in demand among vapers: here it turns out tight and almost cold steam. In addition, they have a longer service life than devices with lower resistance values.
3. 2.1 Ohm - here is a pair for an amateur: more cold and not so thicklike the previous device group. Plus steam generators with high resistance - they are reliable and will last for a long time.

Consequently, it is possible to identify a pattern: the lower the resistance, the more dense and volumetric steam is formed, but the tank itself is designed for a short service time (and vice versa).

Types of bottom location evaporators

Due to convenience and easy maintenance, replaceable evaporators occupy leading positions in the vaping industry. The first atomizers evaporator was located in the upper part of the body.It was completely uncomfortable for the user: the wick overheated and often burned out. A little later, the manufacturers boldly moved the evaporator to the lower part - such modifications were called BCC (Bottom Changeable Coil, literally - the lower removable evaporator). BCC designs were constantly updated and refined, and as a result, two more versions appeared - BDC (BottomDualCoil) and BVC (BottomVerticalCoil).

• BCC - the first evaporators of the lower location, inside there one heating coil. As for the characteristics, then everything is fine: the resulting steam is quite tasty, saturated and gives a large cloud. Nevertheless, single-coil models gradually go out of fashion, giving way to more advanced. Production BCC - devices are engaged manufacturers Joyetech and KangerT
  
• BDC - in these devices is available double helixthat significantly affects the rate of evaporation of the liquid and the amount of steam produced. The spirals have the same winding and resistance, are connected at the same time, and a uniform load is applied to them. These evaporators are probably the most popular today.
  
• BVC - the latest modification of replaceable tanks in an electronic cigarette. Inside there one helix but vertical. Such a device allows for greater evaporation of the liquid. In addition, the vertical spiral is better and more evenly blown, which means it is protected from overheating and rapid failure.
  

The best of the best

Having understood the question of what a vaporizer is, and having become acquainted with the classification, we proceed to a brief overview of the best models of electronic cigarettes with different types of vaporizers. User reviews and the study of the main technical chips of a company helped us choose the top five.

Unfortunately, the functions of temperature control and varivatta are not provided here. However, the model is characterized stable work, easy maintenance and thick aromatic steam at the exit. All this allows you to bring the device to the top of the best today.

Evaporator service life

As a rule, a replaceable evaporator in an electronic cigarette is designed for 25-30 liters of liquid for refilling. The quality of the liquid (the content of nicotine, flavors and dyes) generally determines the duration of the evaporator. Of course, different manufacturers in the development of vap devices use evaporators with different expiration dates. In any case, most modern devices have replaceable evaporators.

Very often they fail due to raids (nagara). This is due to the flavors that are contained in the liquid for the electronic cigarette. Because of the carbon layer, the access of liquid to the spiral is hampered, the process of vapor formation weakens.In addition, the plaque impairs the taste of the vape: over time, a burnt flavor may appear in a pair.

In addition, a good reason for replacing the evaporator is mechanical damage to the spiral, and burnout during prolonged use.

On average, with a moderate soaring resource evaporator enough for a month. The main condition for stable operation is the use of high-quality, original fluid compatible with your type of steam generator. Thus, to increase the life of the evaporator in the following ways:

• give preference to liquids with a low content of flavors, because they are the main reason for the occurrence of soot;
• use the option (power control) if this function is provided by the manufacturer;
• monitor fluid levels, turbidity and purity.

Evaporator replacement

The process of replacing the evaporator varies in different models of electronic cigarettes. In general, the replacement is as follows.

1. We detach the atomizer from the mod with the battery.
2. Then drain the refilled liquid from the tank.
3. Turn off the evaporator.
4. If the evaporator is of a replaceable type, then we immediately install a new evaporator - the main thing is that it fits the battery pack.
5. If the evaporator is serviced - replace the heating coil.
6. Check the installation and tightness of the device.

The manual, which is necessarily attached to high-quality certified products, usually has a detailed description of the replacement tank. It is important that the instruction is accompanied by illustrations and text in Russian with detailed information on disassembly and assembly of parts. Together with the evaporator you will need to change and cartridge, even if the previous one was completely new. The need to replace the cartridge is that in different evaporators, the diameter and the angle of sharpening of the needle also differ from each other. Also the cartridge, heating up, changes its shape.

After you have changed the evaporator and the cartridge, we recommend making a couple of puffs without pressing a button. Then the evaporator will be slightly wetted with liquid, and the wick will not burn at the most inappropriate moment. In addition, it will relieve steam from the taste of burning, which often appears after installing a new evaporator.

Another tip: before installing the evaporator, carefully review the information about the components that fit your device.

Without a doubt, the evaporator is one and the central elements in the vape.Careful handling, competent care and timely replacement - and you will not have any inconvenience in using electronic cigarettes. Have a nice soaring and tasty steam!
