An electronic cigarette is
a device that simulates the act of tobacco smoking. The device produces
a mist when inhaled that gives the taste and sensation of real tobacco.
The design of the e cigarette, as it is also called, is that of
a traditional cigarette and the smoker of the electronic cigarette
gets the look, feel and taste of a traditional tobacco cigarette.
A vapour is released when inhaling that is odourless.

They are a portable device, normally cylindrical in shape. There
is a built in battery which is rechargeable. All electronic cigarettes

There are various components to the electronic cigarette
which include:
The cartridge: This is a small component which is typically made
of plastic and disposable. The cartridge has an opening at each
end and is that like the filter of the traditional cigarette. One
end is where the smoker inhales through and the other end attaches
to the atomizer.
Atomizer: This is the heating element that is responsible for vaporizing
the liquid. The atomizer is positioned in the centre of the three
components which makes up the e cigarette. It consists of a filament
and wicking metal mesh which draws the liquid in.
Power source and electronics: Most e cigarettes contain a lithium-ion
rechargeable battery. This can normally be charged via a mains or
USB connection. Typically, the power source is the largest component
of an electronic cigarette.
E liquid is used to refill the cartridges. This is a liquid concentrate
form of nicotine and comes in a variety of flavours and various
strengths.
