Electronic cigarette classification

Electronic cigarettes are available in various forms, each individual model has its own characteristics. The size of a cigarette determines its life: the larger the body, the larger the cartridge and the battery is placed there. The smoking liquid is poured into the cartridge, and the battery feeds the evaporator. All electronic cigarettes can be divided into six types, each of which is characterized by its external data: size and shape. The classification is marked with AF.

Super Mini (A)

Versions of the class "super-mini" look very much like regular cigarette. The length of the device does not exceed 10.5 cm. A small case hides a small rechargeable battery with a maximum capacity of 85 mAh and a miniature cartridge with a smoking liquid with a capacity of up to 400 μl.Electronic cigarettes of this class can be used by those who smoke “on occasion” or very little - within 5 cigarettes per day.

"Super-mini" differ in a small price and a small resource: the battery is quickly discharged, and the smoking mixture quickly ends.

"Mini" (B)

The “mini” models have the shape of a regular cigarette, but, unlike the “super mini,” they are longer - up to 12 cm. The life of devices of this class is slightly higher, batteries up to 200 mAh are installed in them, and the cartridge of the most capacious model is designed for 500 µl One mini-cigarette will replace up to 15 conventional ones without recharging.

Penstyle (C)

Penstyle class electronic cigarettes are intended to replace the whole a pack of cigarettes on one charge. The case is similar in size to a conventional pen: up to 1 cm in diameter, no more than 17.5 cm in length. The average dimensions and the usual shape of a cigarette made it possible to place a battery up to 290 mAh in the device and a capacious cartridge where you can pour 0.9 ml of aromatic mixture. Models of this class are outwardly different from the usual cigarettes in size, however, such a device fits easily into an internal pocket, without creating discomfort.

Cigars (D)

The device is similar in length to the Penstyle models, but significantly exceeds their diameter.The large size holds a battery with a good volume (from 700 mAh) and a roomy cartridge for automatic liquid (from 1.2 ml). Accordingly, the resource of the vape of this class significantly exceeds the performance of category А-С. Also "cigars" produce significantly more steamthat will please fans of the "clouds".

Mods (E)

Box mods or mechanical mods are a little like a cigarette, but the square case fits easily in your hand. Device designed for intensive use: Capacious rechargeable batteries up to 2200 mAh and a capacious container for an automatic smoking mixture will ensure a long time of continuous use. The advanced evaporator is capable of generating large pairs of steam.

Among other things, the case of medium size allows you to install an electronic board (box mods), a system for adjusting the generation of steam, adjust the supply of nicotine, and place a small display on the outside.

Electronic tubes (F)

Fans of colorful exotics will appreciate the “tube” class models. Electronic versions outwardly correspond to the size and shape of an ordinary pipe.Large sizes allowed to install a large, roomy battery up to 1000 mAh in the case, but such a device is very rarely on sale.

In addition to the differences in electronic cigarettes in size, you should pay attention to their technical characteristics. Different types of vape can include several subspecies of devices with different capacity of the cartridge and battery.

Existing types of atomizer

The vaporizer or atomizer is responsible for the steam generation function. All types of atomizers are divided by type of service:

  • serviced, where the user can independently replace cotton wool and coils;
  • unattended, removable or replaceable, if the user does not wish to change the "consumables" on their own, it is optimal to choose such a type;
  • combined - it can be replaced completely or replaced cotton wool and winding on its own.

By type of evaporator, there is a classification of varieties of electronic cigarettes.

  1. Rda. Serviced evaporator, one of the simplest species where the aromatic blend is absorbed into the wick. In the people the atomizer is called “dripka”. The total volume is relatively small - it will require regular replenishment of the liquid stock.The advantages of a drip are simple and easy maintenance, maximum taste and a large amount of steam with good blowing.
  2. RTA. The served type of an atomizer with a tank for smoking liquid. The mixture is transferred to the coil by capillary method, through cotton wool.
  3. Rdta. This is an improved analogue where RDA and RTA types are combined, a drip-type atomized atomizer combines a drip and a tank.
  4. Cartomizer Its peculiarity is that it constructively combines a cartridge and a replaceable disposable atomizer atomizer. There are options with sinteponovom liquid storage. Deep fit of the heater into the cartridge promotes the formation of thick and saturated steam. The lack of a cartomizer is an opaque body.
  5. Clearomizer. One of the most common types, the clearomizer, combined a container for a smoking mixture combined with an evaporation chamber. There are three types of such an atomizer: interchangeable, serviced, combined. The transparent case allows you to visually monitor the remaining liquid. Clearomizer is suitable for beginners: the non-demountable case is simply replaced with a new one at the end of its service life.
  6. Bacomizer Traditionally consists of a container for smoking aroma mixture, a spiral and a steam generating chamber.
  7. Tank fuel tank. The design assumes the isolated capacity for liquid.
  8. Genesis. Quite complex evaporator, made in the form of a grid. Such an atomizer is used only in expensive models.

Experienced users prefer to opt for the species being served. For vaping beginners, combined or interchangeable types are best suited.

What is the difference between disposable and reusable cigarettes

Types of electronic cigarettes divide all variety of models according to the duration of use into disposable and reusable. Disposable Electronic Cigarettes Often acquired as an "acquaintance" with a device or a particular taste. The size, as well as the resource of such models, is modest, but there are one-off versions for 350-400 puffs.

Cigarette included with each pufftherefore, it is very easy to use such devices. On the case there are no buttons or adjustments, which in turn limits the functionality. Disposable models are non-separable, batteries are not charged in them, the cartridge for the smoking mixture is not charged.

One of the goals of using an electronic probe is to assess how well the device suits the user. Many vape owners say that in the first days of smoking there is a dry throat, less often dizziness. One-time model will allow you to test the device without risking a large amount of money.

Reusable electronic devices speak for themselves: they are intended for continuous use. All types are included in this category, except for the class “super-mini” and “mini”. The cost of such models can reach several thousand rubles, but the quality of workmanship will be high. As a rule, such models are equipped with a powerful and capacious battery that can be charged via a USB cable.

Capacity for the aromatic mixture is also reusable, when the liquid ends - it is filled.

Devices for regular use is a choice. experienced vaperswho know exactly what they like. In addition, intensive soaring disposable models will cost more.

Separation by type of management

By type of control, all types of electronic devices are divided into automatic and manual.Automatic used on disposable models and cigarettes class "mini" or "penstyle". The device starts up with each puff, while activating thrust sensor, the impulse transmitted from the microprocessor, during inhalation, lights the LED (located where the usual cigarette has an ember). Automatic cigarettes are very simple and convenient to use. There is no need to make any settings, press the buttons - the inhaler can be simply smoked like a regular cigarette.

 Manual and automatic cigarette

Manual models, according to experienced vapers, are not very convenient at first. To turn on a cigarette, the user needs hold the button. There is in this arrangement and its advantage - functionality. The owner of the device can adjust the generation of steam, increase or decrease the nicotine dosage.

Vape-trend fully supports the emergence of technological innovations, which gives reason to expect an update of model lines in the near future. Among the six existing species, anyone will be able to choose the appropriate option, whether it be a disposable cigarette “on trial” or a functional cigarette that can generate whole clouds of fragrant vapor.
