If you are a smoker you know that maintaining the habit while you are on the road can be difficult. It can be difficult to get the brand of tobacco that you want or your brand can be really expensive in a foreign country.  Furthermore, blowing cigarette smoke around could be deemed to be very rude in some countries. That is where investing in an electronic cigarette that vaporizes smoke from a cartridge might come in very valuable.

Furthermore these cigs are better for your health. The smoke irritates nobody because the cigarette is not actually lit. Nobody is sucking up your second hand smoke.

These faux electronic cigarettes are also sometimes called Chinese e-cigarettes because they were invented in China. Another name for this popular electronic device is “personal vaporizer” however in the United Kingdom they are known as “the Electro-Fag.”

This e-cigs wren invented as an alternative way to consume burned tobacco products. The beauty of them is that they deliver nicotine to your system without the actual tar and smoke, which in theory might even prevent addiction and cancer in avid smokers. However they still deliver the flavor and sensation of smoke as if the plastic cigarette was actually lit like a real one.

They are actually a very simple device that consists of a disposable plastic mouthpiece that contains an absorbent material that is saturated with a nicotine substance.  Air flows through this cartridge as you inhale on the plastic tube of the “cigarette.”

The atomizer part of the e-cig is called an atomizer. These are heating elements that serve to vaporize the nicotine moisture in the mouthpiece cartridge. You have to replace this cartridge about once a month. The cartridge is one of the recurring expenses associated with using e-cigs

The electronic cigarette does not consist of much more than a plastic tube. To add to their appeal for smokers many of these are designed to look exactly like cigarettes complete with tan or brown colored filter and white cylinder. However you can also get ones that look like pipes and also ones that look like super slim and shiny ball point pens.

You can get disposable versions of these electric cigarettes or ones that you can keep for life that have parts that can be replaced such as batteries and filters.

This unique type of “smoking gadget” was first invented in 2003 by SBT co based in Beijing. The first electronic cigarette was launched in April 2006 at the “RUYAN Overseas Promotion Conference” in Austria.
