Vaping
Vaping is the vapourising of a specially formulated flavoured liquid, the eliquid or juice, by a battery powered Atomiser'. Nicotine Vaping liquids are supplied in 10ml bottles , as this is the Law, though larger bottles are available that are Nicotine free..
Vaping Atomisers
A vaping 'Atomiser' consists of 3 main parts; a battery (usually rechargeable), a heating coil and a liquid resovoir. The basic principle is that pressing the 'vape' button causes a liguid (or 'juice') to be dripped onto a heating coil which in turn is heated by the battery. Heating coils can purchased with different strengths (coils are rated by their resistance in OHMS - usually 1.2 to 6.5 ohms) and batteries can be purchased with different voltages (usually 3 to 8 volts).
The resulting combination will give a power output in watts (similar to a domestic electric fire) and thus enoght temperature to vapourise the eliquid (juice). Generally, the ideal wattage is approximately 7 watts, lower wattages may not produce any vapour, higher wattages may cause the eliquid to burn. Buying a starter kit or complete atomiser means the manufacturer has done the required calculations and the atomiser will be set for the greatest efficiency.
Mouthpiece : the 'vaping' end, when buying an atomiser make sure this is comfortable
Liquid Resovoir : the eliquid store
Coil : the eliquid heating element, usually these are single coils, however high performance dual coils are also avaialble
Power Button : pressing this causes the battery to heat the coil and for liquid to be dispensed from the resovoir
Battery : usually a rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) type
USB Charging Port : charging port for the battery, usually a Micro USB simililar to a mobile phone
N.B. NEVER USE A CHARGER WHICH IS NOT SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUR ATOMISER - MOST USB CHARGERS ARE 5V OUTPUT AND CANNOT HANDLE THE CURRENT REQUIREMENTS
