Are electronic cigarettes harmful or not?

What types of electronic cigarettes are there?

Electronic cigarettes come in many types. Among the main ones we can list:

1. vapes with liquid - classic evaporators that use a solution with or without nicotine;
2. cigarettes without liquid - these include IQOS and analogues that heat tobacco;
3. vapes with mechanical control - the simplest models are controlled by 1-2 buttons and consist only of a battery and a tank with solution;
4. cigarettes with an electronic board - such devices are more expensive, but safer to use.

Any vapes fall into one of two categories, disposable or reusable. The first type is chosen by people who have decided to try vaping for the first time and do not yet know whether they will like it or not. Disposable devices do not last long, but are also convenient for smokers who do not intend to give up their habit, but are forced to do without regular cigarettes for some time.

Reusable vapes are chosen by those who enjoy the vaping process. Such electronic cigarettes are designed for constant and intensive use.

What are the health risks of electronic cigarettes?

electronic cigarettes harmful or not for humans? If so, what harm does a steam generator cause? How harmful is liquid for refilling cigarettes? If, after all, electronic cigarettes are absolutely harmless, then what real evidence is there for this? This is just a small part of the questions that should be answered before purchasing such a device.

Before we answer whether electronic cigarettes are harmful to the human body, let’s take a short excursion into history. After all, few people know that the first patent for the invention of a steam generator was filed back in 1963, but the official date of birth of the vape is considered to be 2004. Electronic cigarettes have always been and are still presented by manufacturers as the safest alternative to conventional tobacco products.

Advertisers also placed bets on those people who would like to quit smoking. It was assumed that the benefit of electronic cigarettes is that they help get rid of nicotine addiction.

However, back in 2008, the World Health Organization (hereinafter referred to as WHO) stated that there is no scientific basis for manufacturers' claims that their product is effective in nicotine replacement therapy.

Moreover, experts unanimously argued that the harmfulness of an electronic cigarette is no less. The WHO report at a conference on tobacco control in 2014 sounded tough and uncompromising; it completely debunked the myths about the benefits of electronic cigarettes. In addition, emphasis was placed on their health hazards.

As a result, it was decided that:

• The free sale of liquids with various flavoring additives should be prohibited, as they increase the attractiveness of vapes;
• there is insufficient evidence that vaporizers help smokers overcome nicotine addiction;
• Electronic cigarettes should be subject to exactly the same restrictive measures (on sale, in advertising, in use) as on all tobacco products.

This means that the world's most authoritative health organization has answered the question of whether e-cigarettes are harmful to health. In addition, at the same conference, WHO expressed concern about how popular e-cigarettes have become among teenagers.

Children who have never smoked before decide to try them as a safer alternative to conventional tobacco products. What’s even sadder is that many parents themselves purchase vapes for their children, thinking that in this way they will protect their beloved child from even greater danger.

Unfortunately, not all adults themselves ask themselves whether electronic cigarettes are dangerous to health, and how harmful the liquid for refilling them is, let alone teenagers. Currently, in countries such as Canada, Brazil, Turkey, Denmark, Italy, Norway, Uruguay, Australia, Jordan, Thailand, advertising, as well as the sale of electronic cigarettes, is prohibited by law.

But despite this, the global market for electronic steam generators shows stable growth from year to year. It turns out that people are ready to buy electronic cigarettes, knowing that they can be harmful to health. The cost of a reusable vapor generator can vary from 50 to 150 US dollars, and disposable e-cigarettes will cost several times less (2-15 US dollars).

What is the harm from electronic cigarettes with liquid?

The main danger of vaporizers lies in the composition of the liquid for refilling them, which contains:

• Potent carcinogens nitrosamine and diethylene glycol . Scientists have proven that their content is approximately ten times higher than in conventional cigarettes;
• formaldehyde , a poisonous and highly toxic compound, poisoning with which can be fatal;
• acetaldehyde is a carcinogen that not only poisons the body, but also forms an addiction (dependence) to smoking, and also increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease .

In addition, experts have identified, in the vast majority of cases, a clear discrepancy in the actual nicotine content in the vaping liquid and that declared by the manufacturer. It is important to emphasize that the concentration of all of the above compounds increases significantly when the e-cigarette overheats.

Another way e-cigarettes with liquid are harmful, according to the scientific community:

• Aggressive marketing by vaporizer manufacturers, based on the unproven benefits of the device, actually contributes to the development of nicotine addiction, rather than combating it. Electronic cigarettes are very popular among teenagers and promote smoking among them.
• When manufacturers are asked about the dangers and how harmful e-cigarettes are, they unanimously claim that there is no reason to worry, since their devices simply generate water vapor, as pure as the air itself. This is a criminal and blatant lie, because... nicotine vape liquid also contains other substances that are toxic to the body.
• Due to the fact that vaporizers have appeared relatively recently, there are still no uniform standards in the world regulating their production, as well as quality and safety testing.
• Electronic cigarettes are dangerous devices that can explode or catch fire if used incorrectly.
• Vape liquid is also extremely dangerous, especially for children. The replacement cartridge for an electronic cigarette contains a dose of nicotine that is lethal for an adult. Therefore, especially strong packaging should be used to store it.
• Nicotine, which is part of vaping liquids, is a neurotoxin and alkaloid , which forms a persistent physical and mental dependence, which negates all arguments about the benefits of electronic cigarettes in the fight against nicotine addiction.
• Vaporizers, like regular tobacco products, increase the risk of developing diseases common to smokers.

The video below outlines interesting facts about electronic cigarettes and their effect on human health.

We think we have answered the question of whether smoking electronic cigarettes is harmful. However, every coin has two sides, so it will be useful to familiarize yourself with the arguments of vaping supporters. Moreover, there are not only nicotine-containing liquids, but also nicotine-free cigarettes. Are they harmful to human health?

Electronic cigarettes without nicotine

Let's imagine such a situation. A person has firmly decided to quit smoking, but to make this process as easy and painless as possible for his health and psyche, he decides to resort to the help of a vaporizer and chooses e-cigarette liquid without nicotine. According to the manufacturers, such a device will be absolutely safe and suitable for everyone.

Are e-cigarettes without nicotine actually harmful or does this variety also have a detrimental effect on human health? Let’s say right away that there is no consensus on this matter. Even ardent supporters of nicotine-free e-liquids admit that they also have their negative aspects.

The main advantage of such vaporizers is their relative safety compared to classic tobacco products. It has long been proven that regular cigarettes are harmful not only because of nicotine. Combustion products and tar cause irreparable damage to both the lungs of the smoker himself and the people around him.

Smoking is prohibited in public places, but vaping is permitted. This device is convenient to use. There is no unpleasant smell from electronic cigarettes, because the liquid for refilling them can emit pleasant enveloping aromas. In addition, vaporizers are affordable and help you save money.

A smoker has to buy cigarettes every day. Vapes are bought once and filled with liquids that last for a long time, and they cost on average no more than a regular pack of cigarettes. And, perhaps, the main advantage of nicotine-free liquids is that they really help a person gradually forget about conventional tobacco products.

True, there is one fat but. A person does not cease to be a smoker, he becomes a smoker. That is, he changes a regular cigarette to an electronic one. The dependence does not disappear anywhere.

Harm of electronic cigarettes without nicotine:

• Imaginary safety for health forms persistent addiction (equally dependence), both on the physical and psychological levels;
• Due to the lack of nicotine saturation sensations familiar to a smoker, a person begins to “vape” more often and more;
• A person’s lungs are injured both when smoking regular cigarettes and electronic ones. The more often a vaper uses a vape, the more damage he causes to his respiratory system.
• The use of nicotine-free electronic cigarettes, like nicotine-containing ones, is not recommended for some categories of people, for example, teenagers or pregnant women. The thing is that the influence of vaporizers on human health has not been fully studied.
• The lack of mandatory certification of vapes in some countries entails serious consequences for buyers of untested electronic cigarettes, as well as their liquids. Without proper control by the state, a person literally gets a “pig in a poke”, because the manufacturer does not bear any responsibility in the event, for example, that the actual composition of the liquid does not correspond to what is stated on the packaging. There is also a high probability of buying a fake instead of a product from a well-known and trusted company.
• Liquids without nicotine still contain propylene glycol , which, when heated, negatively affects the respiratory system, and also contributes to the development or exacerbation of many serious diseases ( asthma , pulmonary edema , bronchitis , chronic obstructive pulmonary disease , allergies , bronchospasm ).
• Glycerin contained in nicotine-free e-liquids harms blood circulation. At first glance, the completely safe composition of liquid for electronic cigarettes without nicotine is transformed into strong toxic compounds (carcinogens, aldehydes) when exposed to temperature.

From everything said above, only one conclusion arises - smoking nicotine-free electronic cigarettes is just as dangerous to health as those containing nicotine. In addition, when used for a long time, they cause no less harm than regular tobacco cigarettes.

Types of cigarettes by shape and size

All types of electronic cigarettes with photos and names can be classified, first of all, by size. Specialized stores offer both miniature devices and massive and eye-catching devices.

Super mini

Electronic cigarettes of type A, or “super-mini”, are very similar to regular ones in thickness, and their length does not exceed 10.5 cm. They are equipped with a low-power battery with an average capacity of 85 mAh and a cartridge with liquid of 400 μl or less. The energy reserve in such devices does not last long, the solution is also consumed quickly, but the devices are inexpensive.

Super-mini vapes are worth buying for those who smoke no more than five regular cigarettes a day

Mini

Electronic vapes of type B, or “mini”, are presented in the form of a stick up to 12 cm long. Their battery capacity is slightly larger, up to 200 mAh, and the cartridge or liquid tank holds 500 µl of solution. Without recharging, such a device works for several hours and can replace 10-15 regular cigarettes.

Electronic cigarettes of the “mini” type dry up quickly, but their advantage is their compactness

Penstyle

Type C vapes, or “penstyle”, are similar in size and shape to a ballpoint pen. Their length is about 17.5 cm, the capacity is increased compared to previous types. This type of electronic vape can have a battery of up to 290 mAh and can replace a whole pack of regular cigarettes without recharging.

The liquid tank in penstyle vapes holds up to 900 µl of solution

Cigars

In length and shape, type D electronic vapes, or “cigars,” are similar to standard “penstyles”, but exceed them in diameter. The devices are equipped with powerful 700 mAh batteries and hold up to 1.2 ml of smoking liquid. They can be used for 1-2 days without recharging.

Vape cigars produce more aromatic vapor, making the smoking process more stylish

Mods

Box and mechanical mods, or type E vapes, have a square body and increased weight. They are powered by batteries of about 2200 mAh, equipped with capacious tanks for liquid and generate really large clouds of vapor.

Important! Mods are most often equipped with safety features and a heating control system.

Many E-type electronic cigarettes have a small display with settings

Tubes

Type F includes very unusual vapes in the shape of a smoking pipe. The power of such devices is usually average; they come with batteries of about 1000 mAh. The main advantage of the pipes is their original appearance, and from the point of view of use they differ little from other types of electronic cigarettes.

Tube-shaped vapes need to be charged on average once every two days.

Types of Electronic Cigarettes

The appearance of vapes is divided into several types:

1. Small, miniature devices with a stealth effect. They minimize the visual visibility of steam - Stealth fashion. A typical example of real gadgets is Eleaf ICare. The electronic cigarette is made in the form of a rectangular shape, its height is 7.5 cm. Experts recommend this type of cigarette to beginners due to the fact that they are inexpensive, but with a full functional set of all characteristics, and have very miniature sizes. The disadvantage of these devices is the lack of a system for good taste transfer, which box mods have.
2. A device that looks like a marker with a tank ending in a mouthpiece is called an electronic cigarette in EGO format. The older generation of people and newbies prefer this type of cigarettes because of their cheapness. Typically, these gadgets last a short period of time and quickly break down, they have unsatisfactory flavor transfer and insufficient steam. Experts do not recommend buying these devices even for the small money for which they are sold.
3. A beautiful imitation of a real ceramic smoking pipe with a large cartridge and a high-capacity battery is an e-pipe electronic cigarette. The long, proprietary mouthpiece ensures the production of cool, saturated vapor, and this quality is the main advantage of the pipe. This type of electronic cigarettes is closer to decorative products and is suitable for people who are inclined to collect various collections. The cost of this device is not inferior to the cost of an excellent box mod, which is currently the best replacement for traditional cigarettes and is suitable for everyday use.
4. The most popular and well-known type of electronic vaping device that satisfies all the needs of an ordinary smoker is box mods. The device consists of a battery compartment, a unit with electronics and a small monitor. In order to get maximum satisfaction from this device, you should additionally purchase a module with a liquid evaporator in a barrel configuration (RTA) or another type of module with a drip tip (RDA). These devices are not cheap, but the person who receives them will not regret the money spent. The box mod will provide the smoker with a large volume of tasty vapor mixture and a long operating time due to the large capacity of the batteries. The automatic control system will not allow a beginner to harm himself or the device. This type of e-cigarette has a high uptime. The only inconvenience associated with this device is its rather large size and decent cost.
5. The following type of electronic cigarettes is not suitable for novice users. Single mech mods do not have a protective device that allows you to stop incorrect human actions, which, under unfavorable conditions, can harm the user if he violates the rules for operating the gadget. The design of the single-mechanical mod consists of a metal tube with a battery placed inside it. Various metals are used to make the tube: copper, silver, steel or brass. A tank or drip cap is screwed onto the mechanical mod tube. A mechanical button closes the evaporator circuit, and the device begins to vaporize the aromatic mixture. These devices generate a huge amount of steam, which allows them to be used in cloud chasing competitions.
6. Electronic cigarettes in the form of a box are called mech-box mods. Inside the gadget there are several electric batteries that are included in the eclectic circuit of the evaporator, and again, as in the previous type, they are connected manually by a switching mechanism. Due to the increased degree of danger, it is not recommended for beginners to use. The increased number of electric batteries allows you to use this device longer and get more steam due to the increased power of the power sources and evaporator.

First you need to decide on the purpose of purchasing the gadget. People who want to quit the bad habit and stop smoking classic cigarettes will be satisfied with a simple, small device, so they should buy iJust 2/iJust S or Eleaf ICare.

If a person wants to get a large volume of aromatic vapor mixture from the device, a serious reserve of battery life and the ability to install an additional module, for example, a drip tip with different windings, then you need to buy box mods.

A professional viper will most likely suit a device with mechanical mods.

Basic principles for choosing electronic cigarettes

First of all, a beginner should master a new device, so first you need to pay attention to the quality of the generated steam and the comfort of using the device. It’s worth talking to friends who use similar devices.

A very important characteristic of an electronic cigarette, which determines its ability to function for a long period of time and power, is the number of batteries or accumulators connected to it. The battery pack in an electronic cigarette is called a mod. You should also pay attention to the compatibility of the selected mod, for example, with an evaporator in the form of a tank or drip. Not all models have unified connectors and can be connected to each other. Today there are many cheap and not very high-quality Chinese devices on the market, so it is better to take original high-quality mods from well-known manufacturers.

An electronic cigarette consists of two parts - a battery pack (mod) and an atomizer. The atomizer includes a container for aromatic liquid and a drip or barrel type evaporator.

Beginners should buy a prepared set of mod and atamizer called “Kit”; there is a wide variety of such kits on the market. When purchasing components for an electronic cigarette separately, you need to check with the seller whether it is possible to connect them. The device should be comfortable and have a beautiful appearance.

Types of vapes by type of evaporator

Most electronic cigarettes operate using a liquid vaporization system. But the mechanisms may vary; there are very simple and quite complex devices.

Dripka

A dripper, or RDA, is the simplest type of atomizer in which an aromatic liquid saturates the wick and then evaporates from it during the heating process. The advantages of the system are easy maintenance and a large volume of steam. The disadvantages include the rapid consumption of fluid; it needs to be refilled constantly.

The advantage of the drip tip is that it is reliably protected from leaks

Tank

The tank, or RTA, is another serviceable atomizer, which is a liquid tank with a factory evaporator. Just like when using a dripper, the user must add aromatic solution to the tank from time to time. But it is not necessary to constantly drip liquid onto the cotton wool; the consumption of the mixture in the tank is more economical.

The main disadvantage of tanks is that they often leak

RDTA

This type of atomizer is a hybrid of a tank and a drip tip. At the bottom there is a reservoir for the aromatic mixture, and on top there is an evaporator with a wick. The user can drip the liquid directly onto the coil or pour it into the reservoir and not have to worry about refilling for a couple of days.

Like regular tanks, RDTA tanks often leak

Clearomizer

This type of vaporizer is installed on most mini and penstyle electronic cigarettes. It is a tank with a transparent body that combines a container for liquid and a chamber for generating steam. It is convenient because through its walls you can clearly see how much solution remains inside.

Clearomizers are replaceable and serviceable - in the latter you can change individual elements

Cartomizer

An evaporator of this type is made in an opaque case and consists of a cartridge with padding polyester filler impregnated with liquid. Currently considered an outdated model, it is almost impossible to find it in modern vapes.

Cartomizer evaporators often burn during use and give off an unpleasant aftertaste

Genesis

An interesting type of evaporator is the Genesis, which is a metal mesh that is heated by a spiral wound on top. Such a wick, unlike conventional ones, does not become clogged with smoke and does not give off any foreign tastes, lasts a long time and does not require frequent replacement. The only difficulty is winding the genesis yourself.

Genesis is safer for health than cotton wool and cotton, as it does not emit impurities when used

Attention! All types of evaporators designed to work with liquid are collectively called atomizers.

Types of cigarettes by frequency of use

All electronic cigarettes can be divided into two types:

• Disposable. The alkaline battery in such vapes is isolated in a non-separable case and is not intended for recharging. After it finally runs out, the electronic cigarette will have to be replaced completely, since it is also impossible to remove the battery and install a new one.

  
  Disposable electronic vapes are enough for several smoke breaks, but they do not last longer than two days

• Reusable. These vapes are equipped with lithium batteries suitable for recharging. Batteries can vary greatly in capacity; some work without recharging for several hours, others can function for about a week. The body of this type of electronic cigarette has a connector for connecting a USB or 510 connector.

  
  The operating time of a refillable vape without recharging depends on the intensity of use

Important! Even lithium batteries do not last forever; after about 500 recharges, the power element itself must be replaced.

Types of electronic cigarettes by type of control

There are types of electronic cigarettes with differences in the way they are brought into working condition. There are two types:

• manual - the user must press a button to start heating and evaporating the liquid;

  
  When using a manual electronic cigarette, the user controls the puff time

• automatic - to activate the device, you just need to tighten it.

  
  There are much fewer automatic vapes on the market than manual ones

Attention! Users note that vapes without a button usually do not have high power and cannot properly reveal the taste and aroma of the liquid.

The most inexpensive electronic cigarettes

This category contains models of electronic cigarettes, the cost of which does not exceed 1,500 rubles.

HQD Cuvie Plus

This small model is designed for 1200 puffs, which is enough for 7 days of use. The power of the device is 12 W. This electronic cigarette has a delicious and deep aroma that does not bother others at all.

Average price: 850 rubles.

JUSTFOG C601 POD

This is an all-in-one kit, which was developed by Justfog in the wake of the popularity of the previous model. All control and maintenance is reduced to one Fire key, thanks to which the electronic cigarette is turned on and locked, for example, for carrying. To block the device, you need to press the button 4 times.

From the battery side, the model has a small battery pack containing a 650 mAh battery. The battery capacity indicator may seem small when compared with some competing models, but you need to take into account the fact that gadgets in this segment are usually designed to use liquid based on very strong nicotine, and therefore its consumption, as well as battery power consumption , there is much less here. This capacity, according to customer reviews, is enough for 12 hours with a small reserve.

To restore energy, there is a micro-USB slot on the body of the device, through which the battery is charged. There is an LED on the body of the electronic cigarette that notifies you about the battery charge level. For example, if it lights up white, then the charge level is more than 70%, blue - more than 30%, red - less than 30%, and if the indication flashes red, then the battery level has dropped to the minimum, and therefore it is recommended to connect it to restore charge .

The evaporator is presented in a form factor that is traditional for innovative POD systems. For example, the upper removable part includes a liquid reservoir and an evaporator, which will wear out with use and require systematic replacement. The resistance of the evaporator part is 1.6 Ohm.

electronic cigarette JUSTFOG C601 POD

Advantages:

• attractive appearance;
• will be an excellent solution for beginner vapers and those who want to start vaping right away, without all kinds of settings and adjusting options;

1. Black.
2. Blue.
3. Blue.
4. Dark red.
5. Gold.
6. Grey.
7. Red.
8. Pink.

Experienced vapers, looking at this model, will say that there are many such devices on the market and they will be right, since this POD system is not anything modern or exclusive. It is worth recognizing that Vaporesso is trying, in addition to releasing new products, to slowly gain a place in the vape market.

The company's developers obviously took inspiration for the production of this device from devices from other manufacturers, despite the fact that they managed to create a fairly attractive gadget.

The power of this model is 11 W. This indicator is provided by an integrated battery with a capacity of 350 mAh, which is not bad at all for this device with such operating power. The battery restores its charge through the classic micro-USB slot, which is located on the bottom edge of the device.

Types of disposable electronic cigarettes

Disposable e-cigarettes are not as popular as serviceable, rechargeable devices. But they are represented by several brands that deserve attention.

Cricket

Electronic vapes of this type are intended mainly for lovers of classic medium-strength cigarettes. Nicotine levels in disposable sticks range from 2% to 4.5%.

Cricket electronic vapes are equipped with an orange LED at the end, simulating the light of a cigarette

Pons

Popular disposable cigarettes are available in many flavors - fruit, berry, refreshing. Nicotine strength is only 1.2%.

Pons cigarettes are made in a plastic case and are lightweight

Nexx

Disposable vapes offer the user a choice of about two dozen different flavors. Electronic cigarettes have a stylish design and come with a soft plug instead of a plastic cap. The nicotine content of strong varieties varies from 6% to 18%.

Nexx disposable cigarettes include nicotine-free types

Luxlite

Disposable cigarettes in a metal case are available in five variations with different nicotine strengths. The maximum value is 2 mg per milliliter of solution, the minimum is 1.2 mg.

The LED on the end of Luxlite disposable e-cigarettes glows blue

What is more harmful: regular or electronic?

The harm of a regular cigarette has been proven by research and numerous statistical data. Electronic mail cannot be called safe either. A cocktail of a dozen complex chemical compounds, including nicotine, enters the lungs through a cloud of vapor, which is an analogue of smoke, but does not contain combustion products, which slightly reduces the degree of harm caused. An electronic device is an excellent substitute for a regular cigarette, but it is also harmful to humans.

The main reasons for less harm compared to conventional cigarettes:

• with smoking electronic reusable cigarettes, combustion products such as tars and formaldehydes, which are very difficult to remove from the body, do not enter the body;
• The nicotine content in electronic cigarettes can be changed independently by controlling its concentration in the tank, or you can completely abandon it;
• Many components of smoking liquids are completely safe in any form, unlike combustion products that settle on the lungs.

Device advantages:

• You can choose the nicotine concentration yourself;
• when smoking there is no unpleasant odor from the mouth or clothes;
• an electronic cigarette cannot cause a fire provided that the integrity of the battery has not been compromised;
• You can use an electronic cigarette in any place where regular smoking is prohibited;
• Compared to the costs of regular cigarettes, the cost of components and liquids for electronic devices is much lower;
• You can quit smoking using an e-cigarette.

Types of electronic cigarettes with tobacco, without liquid

Among the types and differences of electronic cigarettes, it is necessary to mention modern tobacco heating systems. In fact, they represent a separate category of smoking devices, since they do not use either combustion or evaporation of liquid mixtures.

IQOS

The most popular is the IQOS system from the Philip Morris brand. The electronic cigarette comes in a compact plastic case and is equipped with a 2900 mAh battery. Works with special replaceable shortened sticks that need to be inserted inside the device. When turned on, it gently heats the tobacco and allows you to enjoy its taste without inhaling combustion products.

A full charge of IQOS lasts for about 20 uses.

GLO

Another tobacco heating system comes in a mechanical housing and is particularly durable. Rated for approximately 20 starts on a single charge. Supports the useful Boost function, which allows you to heat tobacco in special sticks in emergency mode.

The GLO electronic cigarette is characterized by increased durability and is not afraid of falls

AVBAD X Kit

This type of electronic tobacco heating system is powered by a 2100 mAh battery. Withstands 25 sessions of use without recharging, it only takes about an hour to replenish the battery capacity.

Important! AVBAD X Kit allows you to adjust the degree of heating of the tobacco.

The AVBAD X Kit system includes a carbon removal option

Types of electronic cigarettes with liquid

Classic vapes are electronic cigarettes with liquid evaporators. There are numerous types of such devices, but several well-known brands can be especially highlighted.

Joyetech

Electronic cigarettes of this type are most often chosen by beginners. The manufacturer offers not only advanced box mods for experienced users, but also simple starter kits at a low price. Classic Joyetech vapes are of the penstyle type, lightweight and highly compact.

Joyetech electronic cigarettes are presented in serviced and unserviced types

Eleaf

Electronic cigarettes of this type are a cross between a starter and an advanced version. Vapes have a standard “penstyle” shape, but they have protective functions that extend the life of the device. Some models support the installation of additional batteries and allow you to increase the power of the design.

Eleaf cigarettes have a function for adjusting the vapor volume

Wismec Reuleaux RX

Electronic cigarettes of this type are stylish box mods that can work with 1-3 batteries, depending on the model. They are equipped with capacious liquid tanks and are equipped with a “smart” control and safety system. They hold a charge for a long time and produce very good vapor when used.

With a wide range of options, Wismec Reuleaux vapes remain affordable
