E-cig components : Most devices have a mouthpiece, a heating element, a battery (rechargeable), and some electronic ciruicts. The mouthpiece - also known as the cartridge. This is fixed to the end of the tube. A smaller plastic cup within the mouthpiece holds an absorbent material drenched in liquid solution. The solution can carry varying levels of nicotine. Manufacturers refer to the mouthpiece as the cartridge. This can either be refilled or replaced with another pre-filled one when necessary. Instead of using the cartridge, the user can also use drip tips - the absorbing material is removed and drops of liquid are placed directly into the atomizer bridge. The Atomizer - this is a heating element which heats up the liquid, causing it to vaporize so that it can then be breathed in (inhaled). An atomizer needs to be replaced periodically, usually about once every 3 to 6 months. The battery and some electronic components - in most cases there is a lithium-ion battery which is rechargeable. The battery powers the heating element. The battery life depends on how often you use it, its type, size and operating environment. It is usually the largest component of an electronic cigarette. Newer versions have a sensor which automatically activates the heating method as soon as somebody sucks on the device, while others have a button you need to press when you suck. Many have an LED (light emitting diode) which tells when the device is activated.
