Generally, there will be instructions in the packaging box of electronic cigarettes you buy, but there will be various professional terms in the instructions. Some old drivers can understand them at a glance, but for novices, it is a long monk who is confused. So today, the editor has summarized a list of professional terms in the structure of electronic cigarettes, hoping to help everyone. If there is anything wrong, you are welcome to point it out and discuss it!
1. Single heating wire
Single coil in English means that there is a heating wire built into the atomizer.
2. Double heating wire
Double coils in English means that there are two heating wires built into the atomizer. With the same resistance value and the same output power, the amount of smoke generated by two heating wires working at the same time is greater.
3. Open steam device
Open-pod-system vaping device in English refers to a small smoke device that can be repeatedly filled with oil and recharged. The biggest feature is that it is detachable, that is, the oil tank and the host can be separated.
4. Closed-pod-system vaping device
Also called all-in-one vaping device, it is a pre-filled, non-rechargeable, disposable small smoke device. Its biggest feature is that it cannot be disassembled and can be discarded after use.
5. Top oil filling
Also called top dripping oil, it is called Top Feed in English. It means taking out the mouthpiece on the atomizer and then directly injecting or dripping the electronic cigarette oil on the top of the oil tank.
6. Bottom oil filling
Also called bottom squeeze oil, it is called Bottom Feed in English. It means that the oil bottle is built into the temperature-controlled large smoke host, and the air power generated by negative pressure is used to press the oil to the atomization wire position through a specific device to complete the work of conducting the oil.
7. Ceramic heating wire
It is the mainstream heating wire material in current electronic cigarette equipment. It has high resistance value precision, good thermal conductivity, better atomization effect of electronic cigarette oil, does not contain glass fiber of traditional heating wire, can meet FDA requirements, and is safer and healthier for the human body. The alloy wire of the ceramic heating wire is wound around the hard oil guide body, with more uniform spacing, better contact consistency, and more stable smoke volume. At present, the Feelm ceramic atomization core technology independently developed by McWel is an innovative steam product heating system. It combines metal film with ceramic conductors, making breakthroughs in materials and structural science, and represents innovative technology in the field of steam atomization. Feelm's metal film design creates an extraordinary wide heating surface, which can accurately and intelligently apply temperature, ensure instant steam generation, and reduce harmful substances.
8. Jet-type electronic cigarette
Also called jet non-contact electronic cigarette, it refers to the delivery of smoke oil to the heating element by jet non-contact method, which can completely avoid burning harmful substances to the human body and taste deterioration without cotton and cotton rope filtering ceramic oil. Jet-type electronic cigarette technology is represented by IJET.
9. Solid-state electronic cigarettes
It consists of two parts: an electronic atomizer (heat-not-burn smoking device) and an electronic atomized solid (solid) flavor (heat-not-burn cigarette cartridge). It adopts a heat-not-burn method, heating the metal bullet through the electronic atomizer to make the solid flavor produce smoke. Among them, the solid-state cigarette cartridge is a new type of "heat-not-burn" original in China. It is not a cigarette, not a cigar, does not contain tobacco, does not use re-roasted tobacco leaves, does not use tobacco leaves, does not use cigarette paper, does not use filter rods, does not use tobacco tow, and is not processed by tobacco-specific machinery. Solid-state electronic cigarettes are represented by Green Yunda.
10. Temperature-controlled electronic cigarettes
The English name is Temperature Control vaping device, which means that a temperature control chip is built into the big smoke host to freely adjust the output power of the battery to achieve different sizes of smoke volume and control the temperature of the battery at the same time. Temperature-controlled electronic cigarettes have a battery protection function to prevent battery explosion.
11. Type-C USB
USB-C for short, located at the bottom of the smartphone, is mostly used for charging, data transmission and other purposes. The biggest feature of the Type-C double-sided pluggable interface is that it supports double-sided insertion of the USB interface, which officially solves the global problem of "USB can never be inserted correctly". It can be inserted on the front or back. At the same time, the USB data cable used with it must also be thinner and lighter.
12. Micro USB
It is a portable version of the USB 2.0 standard. It is smaller than the Mini USB interface used in some mobile phones, saves space, has a plug-in life and strength of up to 10,000 times, and has a blind plug structure design. Its biggest disadvantage is that it only allows one direction to be inserted into the interface. At present, the charging data cable of electronic cigarette equipment mainly uses Micro USB.
13. Chip host and mechanical host
Both of the above are the main power supply devices of the atomizer, which are distinguished according to the power supply method. The former is composed of a chip, a battery compartment, a screen, a button and a shell, and the main power source is a power lithium battery. Because the volume of the battery must be included, the shape is relatively wide and square, and players usually call it a "voltage regulating box". The output method is to press the ignition key to trigger the chip circuit to drive the battery to generate electricity, and then send the power back to the chip to adjust the voltage and then import it into the atomizer. Although this power-on method will affect the output power, from a safety perspective, users can prevent danger through chip short-circuit protection, overcharge protection, over-discharge protection, overheating power-off and other safety mechanisms.
The mechanical structure is relatively simple. The main body is mostly rod-shaped, and there are also box-shaped ones. The material is mostly metal with excellent conductivity. Single or double lithium batteries can be prevented according to the rod or box. Currently, most mainstream mechanical rods are designed with single batteries. However, mechanical equipment is relatively risky and is not recommended for novices. The reason is that the mechanical host does not have any chip protection. The power-on method is to directly connect the battery to the atomizer. If the user does not have a certain understanding of basic circuit knowledge, it will be easy to cause danger due to short circuit or over-discharge.
14. Voltage-regulated host
The appearance of the voltage-regulated host is mostly box-mounted, so players call it a "voltage-regulated box". There are many ways to convert the power of the voltage-regulated host, mainly using the control voltage to achieve the effect of adjusting the output power. Many voltage-regulated boxes can not only adjust the voltage, but also support many other modes, such as temperature control mode, curve mode, etc.
15. Single battery and dual battery
Should I choose a single battery or dual battery mod? There has always been a misunderstanding about this issue. Many novices think that a single battery cannot produce a large amount of smoke, and then they are very conflicted and don’t know how to choose. But if you think about it in another way, isn’t the mechanical rod also a single battery? So there is no saying that a single-battery voltage regulator box cannot produce a large amount of smoke. Of course, the mechanical box in series is an exception.
16. RBA atomizer
The DIY atomizer we are talking about refers to RBA, its full name is Rebuildable Atomizer, which means rebuildable atomizer. It represents the general term for all atomizers with heating wire electrode seats. Users can install their own coils and cotton on it (called "builds-construction"). Any atomizer with a construction kit can be called RBA.
17. Finished atomizer
When newbies first come into contact with e-cigarettes, they usually start with finished atomizers because they are relatively simple to use. When each finished atomizer leaves the factory, the brand will launch a matching finished atomizer core for users to replace, which is also convenient for newbies. Just disassemble the atomizer, replace the atomizer core and add the e-liquid to use it. The resistance value of the finished atomizer core will also be slightly higher, generally ranging from 0.2-1.6, mostly upright design, the internal structure is a heating wire wrapped with cotton, and the smoke volume is acceptable. Of course, there are also larger finished atomizers launched by brands with high-power hosts. The matched atomizer cores are also relatively large, suitable for high power, with single cores, even 4 cores, and 6 cores, with larger smoke volume. However, for the current mainstream finished atomizers, the atomizer core is generally around 0.3Ω, suitable for hosts within 75W.
18. E-cigarette set
The "set" of e-cigarette refers to a complete set of equipment directly launched by the brand, including an atomizer and a host/battery rod. Such a set is relatively simple for novices, and can be used directly after adding e-liquid. It is suitable for novices who are just starting out and don't know how to choose equipment. However, if the purchased set is not a battery rod type, you need to buy a battery separately before you can use it.
19. "EGO" e-cigarette
"EGO" type e-cigarettes are also one of the "sets". Its structure is very typical, including an atomizer and a battery rod. The advantages of EGO type e-cigarettes are portability, simplicity and convenience. There are also many disadvantages. The early EGO atomizer structure resulted in poor restoration of e-liquid, and it was impossible to get a good user experience. The battery rod had low power, usually only a few hundred or more than a thousand mAh, which was not suitable for people who used it frequently. And because of the low production cost, it is often packaged by some merchants as the so-called "big smoke" and "smoking cessation artifact", and sold to newcomers who don't know about e-cigarettes at dozens of times the profit.
20. "Taste type" and "mist"
In addition to being classified into "finished product" and "RBA" according to the atomizer core, atomizers can also be divided into "taste type" and "mist type" according to their uses. The taste type is mainly for obtaining a good taste and is more suitable for daily use as a substitute for cigarettes, while the mist type atomizer is mainly used to produce a large amount of smoke, which is one of the many ways to play with electronic cigarettes. Whether it is a finished product atomizer or an RBA atomizer, it can be divided into "taste type" and "mist type". In contrast, the "fuel consumption" of the taste type atomizer is lower than that of the mist type (the finished product is lower than that of the RBA).
Among the current atomizers, there is also a type of "all-round type", which means that the type of "taste" or "mist" can be switched by replacing different types of finished product atomizer cores. Some of these atomizers are also equipped with an "RBA base" so that users can get a full range of user experience.
