Ecig Draw Technique
The ecig is different to a normal cigarette because nothing is burning. There is no fire involved. The ecig uses what is known as an atomizer, basically a small heating coil that vaporizes the e liquid from the electronic cigarette refills or cartomizer. Because of this the draw technique is different to puffing on a normal cigarette.
To get the most satisfying draw from your ecig you have to puff slowly and consistently, unlike the sharp drags that are taken with a normal cig. This is because you need to give the atomizer some time to heat up (matter of seconds). This may take some practising but you will find yourself doing it naturally as the days go by. If you draw too slow on your ecig, the atomizer may get too hot because there is not enough cool air running through it, and if you drag too hard you might suck the e juice out before it even has a chance to get hot enough for a decent puff. I find a 5 second draw perfectly satisfying when using a standard cartomizer. Oh, and if you don’t already do this, I suggest puffing the vapour into your mouth and then inhaling it instead of going for a direct inhale. If you don’t know what I mean just pretend you’re sucking on a straw.
Ecig Dripping
Some people prefer dripping e liquid directly into their ecig atomizer. This is because they think it carries more flaovour and vapour. This can probably be explained by the e liquid directly hitting the atomizer instead of going through the wool in your ecig cartridge which can sometimes be a bit touch and go. Some people swear by this technique so maybe you should give it a go. The downside is of course you can only drop 3 drops at a time instead of a lot more when using a cartridge. If you are having troubles with both of these methods I suggest its time to try a cartomizer.
Ecig Apparatus
It is very wise to carry a couple of ecig spares on you at all times. This way you know you have a backup if anything goes wrong. I always carry a 5ml bottle of ecig liquid, a spare atomizer / cartomizer, a spare battery and a PCC. A PCC is a portable charging case and it is one of the handiest items in the ecig world. If you are wondering what it does, well, it does what it says on the tin. It is a pocket sized pack that you can carry around at all times which charges your ecig when you’re on the move. If you haven’t already got one, get one!
