Things To Consider When Buying An Electronic Cigarette

By Peter Hellopdy


Electronic cigarettes have grown in popularity in the past five years, and this is probably due to them being marketed as a healthier alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes. The number of electronic cigarette manufacturers continues to grow, giving consumers more choices and a better chance of homing in on the right model for their needs. If you are considering switching to e-cigarettes, here are some things you should consider when purchasing one.

Looks and Style Although many electronic cigarettes are made to appear like conventional cigarettes, there are also those that are made to appear like pens and USB drives. If you wish to use the e-cigarette without drawing attention, consider getting the latter option instead.

Charging option Electronic cigarettes have rechargeable lithium batteries. Some electronic cigarettes are recharged via USB ports, others via the power mains. Sometimes, it is better to buy a model that can be charged both ways.

Atomizers and cartridges There are other e-cigarettes that have separate atomizers and cartridges. Atomizers on e-cigs however tend to become less efficient with time, requiring replacement. This can be costly in the long run. To address this issue, newer ones fuse e-cig atomizers with cartridges, and these are called cartomizers.

Liquid E-liquid or juice are available in a variety of nicotine strengths and flavors. E- liquid can contain 0mg to 24mg of nicotine and have tobacco, menthol, chocolate, mint and strawberry flavors. When shopping for e-cigarettes, don't forget to check the components of the liquid. Aside from nicotine, cartridges often contain water and a propylene glycol or glycerin base. Some manufacturers however use a diethylene glycol base to cut costs. This substance is an ingredient of antifreeze and is poisonous and carcinogenic.

Cost E-cigarettes come in a wide range of prices, from Dollar 40 to Dollar 200. You should remember though that for these products you get what you pay for. Comparing three to five e-cigarettes can help you find the best one at a price you're comfortable with.

Consumer reviews The opinion of other customers can be very helpful in identifying which models are worth buying and which ones you should stay clear of. EgoTank and LavaTube are models that have receive favorable reviews. Ego-T, short for Ego Tank, is manufactured by Joyetech. What sets this model apart is that they are fitted with plastic tanks that can be refilled. Since they are refillable, they are less costly than traditional cartridges which need to be replaced. LavaTube's popularity is partly because of its variable voltage feature. This model is ideal for advanced users who want to have more control over their vaping experience. The Lava Tube is one of the best sellers of its manufacturer, Volcanoecigs.
