Anatomy of a Vape: The 6 Parts of a Vaporizer
by Kevin Smith AuthorVaping
is an experience that's similar to cigarette smoking. However, unlike
traditional cigarettes where the tobacco is combusted and inhaled, vapes work
by heating a substance until it "vaporizes." This "vapor,"
an aerosol-like gas that comes in unique flavors and varying intensities, can
range from a trickling smoke up to a thick cloud. To achieve this,
"vapers" use a cigarette-like device that's powered by electricity
called vaporizers or vapes. Today,
3 types of vapes are commonly used and can be bought from a vape shop in
Providence, RI:
•
Cig-A-Likes
•
Vape Pens
•
Box Mods
These
types vary in shape and size, but all of them have a similar structure.
Learning a vape's different parts is key to understanding how it works. Here
are the 6 parts of a vape.
The Battery
This
is the powerhouse of the vape. Batteries provide energy for the device. They
vary in size depending on the type of vape where they'll be used. Cig-a-likes
usually have the smallest batteries
and box mods have the largest ones.
The Concentrate
The
concentrate or the "e-juice" is the substance that becomes the vapor
you'll inhale when vaping. These usually consist of chemicals like vegetable
glycerin, food flavorings, and even nicotine. Each ingredient of this solution
creates the distinct "taste" of the e-juice, which may be that of
pastries, fruits, and even certain dishes.
The Coil
Coils
are small spring-like resistance wires that heat up and regulate the
concentrate. These springs are commonly made from reactive metals like Kanthal,
nichrome, or nickel. These
metals determine and distribute the right amount of power that will be used to
"vaporize" the concentrate.
The Wick
Similar
to candle wicks, vape wicks bring the liquid to the coil. These mediums can be
made of ceramic, cotton, Ekowool,
steel mesh, or twisted silica.
The Atomizer
The
atomizer is responsible for housing and heating the coil. This component is a
heat-resistant cartridge that's used as a reservoir for the
concentrate. These cartridges come in many styles to cater to the needs
of different users.
The Tank
The
tank is a tech-infused storage for the components of the vape. It has special
features that allow the user to track all that's happening within the unit,
such as the device's battery life, e-juice level, and the voltage used to heat
the e-juice.
Learning
about the components of a vape can guide you to make a better purchase in a vape shop in
Providence, RI. Once you have your device, make it a habit to inspect its
parts to see if they all work perfectly to ensure a quality vaping experience.
