E-Cigarette
Dear friends, in
this blog I am writing about the general information about the E-Cigarette and
Traditional Cigarette.
What is E-Cigarette:
E-Cigarette is
device which contain Nicotine and have a battery to vaporise nicotine and mist
is produced when puff is taken. During the puff taken by the smoker, nicotine
mist inhaled into the lungs.
The structure or
shape of E-cigarette is pen or cigar type. The E-cigarette have a metal body
and shape of E-cigarette is round and having length up to 150 mm. E-cigarette
maximum length diameter approx. 25-30 mm and rare end diameter reduced up to
10 mm.
Actually it is
small pipe in variable section and having small parts like lithium ion battery,
sensor, heating element or atomiser and cartridge having vaping solution.
Smoking through
E-cigarette also called vaping.
All components are
installed in such a way that provides compact body to E-cigarette. The lithium
ion battery installed at the bottom of body and at some distance from battery
micro sensor installed and after that cartridge is installed. These all
components formed a compact metal structure called E-cigarette.
How is E-Cigarette:
E-cigarette works
on same principle as a traditional tobacco cigarette. When air is drawn by the
smoker through puff taken. This air comes in contact with sensor and sensor
activate the heating coil or atomiser. Atomiser have a small heating coil in
which liquid is passing through and these liquid nicotine get vaporised and
nicotine vapour is formed.

Many type of
E-cigarettes are available in the market. In present growing technology many fashionable and attracting metal body shapes are available. E-cigarette having certain cost and I have
searched marked price of E-cigarette and it is available in the range of $74 to
$85. Please note, I have searched because I am not a smoker and I expect you
didn't. E-cigarette is expensive in India and not easily available in common
store. But in USA is easily available in cheaper rate. One the cartridge is
finished it is need to refill again and it's having certain cost.
Nicotine liquid or vaping solution or nicotine cartridge:
As like
traditional cigarette, E-cigarette having nicotine. These nicotine extract from
the leaves of tobacco. Nicotine cartridge
also contain propylene glycol and glycerine. The percentage of propylene
glycol and glycerine are more and approx. 95% of total solution and only 5%
nicotine is present in cartridge. Cost of nicotine cartridge is $10 for 30 ml.
What is traditional cigarette:
Traditional
cigarette is paper wrapping small pencil; poured with natural tobacco leaves. In
simple words tobacco leaves binding with paper. The shape is round and having
the length.
Traditional
cigarette diameter is approx. 10 mm and length varies between 80-100 mm. In
traditional cigarette 80% of length is filled by tobacco and 20% is solid
paper. From side of solid paper, smoker takes the puff and it is called filter.
Generally out cover is white in colour and tobacco colour is dark brown.
How is traditional cigarette:
Smoker ignite
traditional cigarette at the tip with help of lighter or match stick. When
smoker drawn the air trough taking puff than outer cover, which made of paper
start burning and then tobacco start burning. When tobacco burn it's produce
smoke and this smoke is inhale by the smoker and some smoke produce at the tip
which goes in to atmosphere. It is how traditional cigarette works.

one packet is contains 10 cigarette.
We can say single
piece of traditional cigarette is cost of 8 to 20 rupees in India.
