Vapor instead of smoke.
E-cigarette is a mini-inhaler, that performs the role of the usual smoke in vapor. E-liquid is contained in a special container and gets on the atomizer, which hots it and converts it into steam, which is inhaled by vaper.
As the liquid evaporates, worsens vaporization and taste, so you need regularly replenish it and refill cartridges for electronic cigarettes.
All liquids for electronic cigarettes are divided in those with nicotine and without it. E-liquids with nicotine are divided in: – very strong (extra or extra-high nicotine content, from 26 to 24 mg/ml), strong (high nicotine content, from 16 to 18 mg/ml), medium (12-14 mg/ml nicotine), light (super light, less than 11 mg/ml) and very light or ultra light (ultra low 3 – 6 mg/ml nicotine).
E-Liquids may have natural taste of tobacco or other flavors. Generally, the smaller is the content of nicotine in e-liquids, the sweeter flavor they have. Thus, strong liquids are made with roasted coffee, bar tobacco, menthol, dark chocolate flavor. Non-nicotine liquids (or with light and ultra-light nicotine content) may have vanilla, cream, caramel, peach, banana, cola, ice cream taste.
Some physicians will be “pro” electronic cigarettes, at least due to the fact that these devices while working don’t emit smoke, so dangerous to the public and the smoker health. For example pediatricians will say about electronic cigarettes positive and may support them, because the children of people who vape e-cigarettes do not suffer from carcinogens and toxic substances that emit ordinary tobacco cigarettes.
But here arises another problem, children often imitate the habits of their parents, so can be transmitted the smoking habit, even if not an ordinary tobacco cigarette but electronic one.
