What Is An Electronic Cigarette?

Electronic Cigarettes also called Vaporizers, E-Cigs, Vapes, and E-Hookahs, are battery powered vaping device that allows smokers to enjoy nicotine and non-nicotine solutions through vapors when inhaled. Smoking with electronic cigarettes is called vaping.

Benefits Of Electronic Cigarette

The smell that comes with smoking tobacco can be terrible. People tend to dissociate themselves from tobacco smokers because of the unpleasant odor. E-cigs do have a very faint, almost unnoticeable smell. Sometimes they can smell fruity or sweet, depending on the flavor.

No Ash

The absence of burning in electronic cigarettes means you won’t see any ash during a vaping session. Unlike the traditional style of smoking, you won't make a mess.

Vapor Over Smoke

Traditional smoking produces fire. Since there is fire, there is smoke. However, e-cigs don’t produce fire and they don’t combust. With no smoke, it only produces vapor.

In tobacco cigarettes, the amount of nicotine present can't be controlled or regulated by the smoker. E-cigs users can put just the right amount of nicotine they want.

Health

Using electronic cigarettes have had a lot of people tote the benefits. Some people explained they're not coughing as much. A persistent cough that comes with smoking tobacco is eliminated because the toxins in tobacco cigarette are absent in e-cigar. Others say they can run longer.

Taste

e-Liquids or e-Juices

E-liquids are the various types of liquids used in an electronic cigarette. It usually consists of an atomizing base like nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerin, and flavorings. E-liquids are also referred to as E-juice. They come in different flavors and are sold according to their nicotine strength.

Most e-liquids are combined with different flavors like vanilla to create a unique feeling of satisfaction for the vaper. Additives like distilled water are used to dilute the e-liquid when it is too thick for vaping. Nicotine salts are a more potent form which uses a slightly different base.
