Electronic cigarettes as everyone knows come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. They also come with many options when it comes to the mouthpiece and delivering of the e-liquid to the device.  Many terms for such devices are: atomizer, tank cartridge, cartridge and cartomizer. When electronic cigarettes first started they traditionally came with a cartridge which was fitted inside with e-liquid and wool to suspend the liquid.  This cartridge would then be placed over an atomizer heating device, the atomizer would then heat up when the electronic cigarette was used which would in turn heat up the e-liquid and create a cloud of vapour which was then inhaled.

 

The main problem with the old device was that the cartridge would only be able to hold a maximum of 0.8ml of e-liquid, this is a major problem in electronic cigarette smoking as the vapour in the cartridge would soon run out meaning the user would have to change the cartridge every 4-8 cigarettes or in other terms 40-80 inhales.  Changing a cartridge so often is firstly inefficient for the user, secondly the user would need a vast amount of cartridges to use over the day and thirdly was not cost effective as many cartridges needed to be used.  Because of this electronic cigarettes were still cheaper but many users found it annoying and would soon revert back to the traditional cigarette.

 

Another major problem of the electronic cigarette cartridge was the fact that the vapour coming from the cartridge was very inconsistent.  Upon first using the cartridge the first 4-5 inhales would be full of vapour and come with great throat hit, after these the vapour would quickly diminish and techniques would be required to maintain the same performance, again these problems would often revert the customer to going back to traditional cigarettes.

 

Looking at the cartomizer shows the performance has increased ten fold. The cartomizer consists of a sealed cartridge again with wool and suspended e-liquid but this time the atomizer device is in fact built into the cartridge and the atomizer heating element is in fact a short term throwaway version.

 

The benefits of this are very strong, now the cartomizer can fit up to 1.2ml of e-liquid meaning it can now last for up to 250 puffs or 20-25 real cigarettes, this obviously is a huge advantage as now the user may only need to take two cartomizers out for the day.

Another huge benefit of using a cartomizer is that the performance is very strong, because you are using a device that is an all in one unit the performance of vapour production is perfect from start to finish. It is as good on the last puff as it is on the very first inhale. The other reason for the constant performance is because the atomizer unit is a disposable one, it means that it is new and fresh for the life of the e-liquid inside, and of course every new cartomizer will have a new atomizer device! All in all they are a better perfoming model and are the future of electronic cigarette smoking.

Electronic cigarettes are a new and inventive product and are sure to cause interest. Such interest will always be of interest to scammers as they look for the latest ideas to scam innocent customers from their hard earned money. We will look at the electronic cigarette starter kit scam and warn you of the ways they are presented and how best to avoid such scams.
The electronic cigarette scams can be created in a number of ways. The first and most prominent scam is where a market stall, precinct selling space or even a car boot sale are set up. Usually the stalls are set up in a very promotional way with many banners to catch the general public’s attention. They are setting up to scam quickly and in a short space of time so they will make a good job of set up and this is why often the scammers will do very well on a days outing. The stall will be set up and partnered usually with at least 4-5 sellers walking the streets manning the stall and smoking the electronic cigarettes in order to catch the public’s eye and get the public to come to them. Remember when the customer goes to the seller they are looking because they have an initial interest to buy and such a position is very dangerous when the seller is looking to scam you. They will often make false claims that the electronic cigarette is a quit smoking device which of course is imply not true and illegal to say. In the same way websites will be set up quickly to look glamorous and again look as good as possible claiming there are only a few free kits available and that you need to act now. They are designed to make quick sales before being closed down and reopened with a new brand and image.
So how exactly how does the scam actually work? Well basically when you go to the stall interested in the actual device and a chance to have this device for free the seller will as we stated before make the claims that it will help you stop smoking and that you have a chance to have it for free or ‘trial’ it. Once they have got you to agree to the offer and get you feeling happy about the fact you have got a free product and are at the same time going to make savings on cigarette expenses and save your health they will present you with an agreement form. The form looks simply to ask for your direct debit details to make payment for the non-refundable postage charge of your free kit. The reason for delivery is because they are selling from a promotional space and are not actually aloud to make transactions in the space. This form will have small print which actually states the price of delivery and asks for your direct debit details and acceptance signature for the electronic cigarette starter kit… Please check our next article to see how the scam is performed.

What is an Electronic Cigarette?

Electronic cigarettes are a smokeless device that releases nicotine at similar rates to those of normal cigarettes. They also look and feel like normal cigarettes but, allow users to enjoy the pleasures of smoking without quite as many harmful effects. Electronic cigarettes are rapidly becoming a popular smoking alternative amongst tobacco smokers because, of the cost effectiveness, cleanliness, and ability to smoke in places where normal cigarettes are banned. Electronic Cigarettes work by vaporizing what’s called “e-liquid” into a a tar free odorless vapor. The best part is that this vapor is smokeless so you won’t have to be concerned about annoying those around you. Upon each puff a small amount of nicotine is released just as would happen with a normal cigarette. By utilizing a special air-flow censor the device is able to determine when it is appropriate to release a burst of nicotine. Most electronic cigarettes have a red led at the end which will glow to mimic the look of a normal cigarette. For many seasoned smokers the electronic cigarette is so similar to regular smoking that the transition to electronic cigarettes is near seamless.

Why use Electronic Cigarettes?

The better question to ask is why wouldn’t you want to switch. With significantly less side effects and nearly the exact same experience and sensations of regular cigarettes the smart choice would certainly be to switch. Not to mention if you are a smoker with children or other people whom you live with you no longer have to worry about exposing them to the harmful effects of second hand smoke but, can still enjoy the effects of smoking yourself. Another added benefit is that you can in most cases smoke in places where normal cigarettes are ban. There are no nasty odors, teeth staining, or ashes to brush off your blothing. Electronic cigarettes are clearly a revolutionary product!
