Also known as a battery or battery, it is the energy source required for various systems to operate.Their particularity is that they can be charged according to charge/discharge cycles, the number of which is variable and predefined by the manufacturer.Batteries with different internal chemistries, the most suitable for e-cigarettes are IMR, Ni-Mh, Li-Mn and Li-Po.
How to read the name of the battery?If we take the 18650 battery as an example, 18 represents the diameter of the battery in millimeters, 65 represents the length of the battery in millimeters, and 0 represents the shape (circle) of the battery.
The official term for the “vapour” we produce through e-cigarettes.It consists of propylene glycol, glycerin, water, flavor and nicotine.It evaporates into the atmosphere in about 15 seconds, unlike cigarette smoke which settles and releases ambient air in 10 minutes…with every puff.
The Independent Association of E-Cigarette Users (http://www.aiduce.org/), the official voice of e-cigarette users in France.It is the only organization able to prevent European and French governments from carrying out destructive projects on our practice.In order to fight TPD (a directive known as “anti-tobacco”, but it undermines e-cigarettes more than tobacco), AIDUCE will initiate legal proceedings involving the translation of the European directive into national law specifically targeting Article 53.
English phrase for a lamp through which air will pass when inhaled.These vents are located on the atomizer and may or may not be adjustable.
Literally: Airflow.When the intake is adjustable, we’re talking about airflow regulation because you can adjust the air supply until it’s fully closed.Airflow greatly affects the flavor and vapor volume of the atomizer.
It is a container for vape liquids.It allows heating and extraction in the form of an aerosol, inhaled using a suction nozzle (dripper, drip top)
There are several types of atomizers: drippers, genesis, cartomizers, clearomizers, some atomizers are repairable (we then say rebuildable or rebuildable atomizers in English).And others, their resistance must change regularly.Each type of atomizer mentioned will be described in this glossary.Short name: Atto.
Products with or without nicotine, used to make DiY liquids, bases can be 100% GV (vegetable glycerin), 100% PG (propylene glycol), they are also found to be proportional to PG/VG ratio values such as 50/50, 80/20, 70/30… By convention, unless expressly stated otherwise, PG is declared first.
It is also a rechargeable battery.Some of them carry an electronic card that can regulate their power/voltage (VW, VV: variable watts/volts), and they use a dedicated charger or USB connector directly from a suitable source (mod, computer, point cigarette lighter) charging, ETC.).They also have an on/off option and a remaining battery indicator, and most also give at a resistance value and cut off if the value is too low.They also indicate when charging is required (voltage indicator is too low).In the following example, the connection to the atomizer is of the eGo type:
Bottom coil Clearomizer from UK.It is an atomizer whose resistance is screwed to the lowest point of the system, close to the + connection of the battery, the resistance is used directly for electrical contact.
Prices are generally replaceable, with single coil (one resistor) or double coil (two resistors in the same body) or even more (very rare).These clearomisers have replaced the production of clearos with descending wicks to provide fluid to the resistance, and now the BCC bathes until the tank is completely emptied and provides a warm/cold vape.
From the bottom double coil, BCC, but in the double coil.Generally, clearomisers come with disposable resistors (you can still redo them yourself with a good eye, proper tools and materials, and slender fingers…).
This is an evolution of technology that is rarely used in the current vape today.It is a device that can accommodate any type of atomizer, its peculiarity being the ability to fill it with the connections it is equipped with.The device itself can also accommodate flexible vials contained directly in the battery or module (rarely detached from the battery, but it exists via a bridge).The principle is to feed the ato into the liquid by applying pressure on the vial to push a dose of juice…the component is not practical with movement so it is rarely seen to work.
It is mainly found in atomizers, but not limited to that.It is the capillary element of the map, made of cotton or synthetic material, sometimes of braided steel, which allows the autonomy of the vape by behaving like a sponge, it is directly traversed by resistance and ensures its liquid supply.
A remix of English words well known to pinball lovers…for us it’s just a matter of increasing the proportion of flavor in the DIY preparation based on the VG content of the base.It is important to know that the higher the ratio of VG, the less noticeable the taste.
A tool for keeping the tank map so that it can be pulled enough to fill the tank without risk of leaking.
It is a tool to easily drill undrilled atomizers or enlarge pre-drilled atomizer holes.
Simply put, it’s a map.It is a cylinder, usually terminated by a 510 connection (and a profiled base) that contains a filler and a resistor.You can add a dripper directly and vape it after charging, or combine it with a Carto-tank (a map-specific tank) for more autonomy.Maps are hard-to-repair consumables that need to be replaced regularly.(Please note that this system is ready and this action will affect its proper use, bad primers will send it straight to the trash!).It is available with single or double coil.Rendering is specific, very tight in terms of airflow, and the steam produced is generally warm/hot.”E-cigarettes on the map” are currently losing speed.
Abbreviation for short circuit when talking about electricity.Short circuit is a relatively common phenomenon that occurs when the positive and negative electrodes are in contact.The origin of this contact could have several reasons (during the drilling of the “air hole”, in the file under the ato connector, the “positive leg” of the coil is in contact with the body of the ato…).During CC, the battery heats up quickly, so you must react quickly.Owners of mechanical mods without battery protection are the first concern.The consequences of CC, in addition to possible burns and melting of material parts, can cause the battery to deteriorate, making it unstable during charging or even completely irrecoverable.In any case it is recommended to throw it away (for recycling).
or maximum discharge capacity.It is a value expressed in amperes (symbol A) and is specific to rechargeable batteries and batteries.The CDM given by the battery manufacturer determines the fully safe discharge possibility (peak and continuous) for a given resistance value and/or taking advantage of the electronic regulation of the module/box.Batteries with too low CDM will heat up when used in ULR.
In French: 7 to 15 seconds of continuous pumping.Electronic modules are typically electronically limited between 15 seconds, as long as your battery supports prolonged continuous discharge and is fully assembled.By extension, Chainvaper is also someone who almost never quits his mod and consumes his “15ml/day”.It keeps evaporating.
English threaded cap, is the volume of heated liquid mixed with inhaled air, also called chimney or atomizing chamber.In clearomizers and RTAs, it covers the resistance and isolates it from the liquid in the reservoir.In addition to the cap, some drippers are equipped with it, otherwise the cap itself acts as a heating chamber.The purpose of this system is to promote flavor recovery, avoid overheating of the atomizer, and control splashing of boiling liquid due to resistive heat that can be inhaled.
It is the basic tool of the battery that allows charging.If you want to preserve batteries for a long time, you must pay special attention to the quality of this device, as well as their initial characteristics (discharge capacity, voltage, autonomy).The best chargers provide status indication (voltage, power, internal resistance) and have a “refresh” function that manages one (or more) discharge/charge cycles, taking into account the battery chemistry and critical discharge rate, This operation, called “cycling,” regenerates the battery’s performance.
The electronic module is used to regulate and manage the current from the battery to the output through the connector.Whether or not a control panel is attached, it generally has basic safety functions, switching functions and power and/or intensity adjustment functions.Some also include charging modules.This is the featured gear for electro mods.Current chipsets now allow e-cigarettes to be used in ULRs and deliver up to 260 W (sometimes more!).
Also known for the tiny “Clearo”.The latest generation of atomizers, characterized by a usually transparent canister (sometimes graduated) and a replaceable resistance heating system.The first generation consisted of a resistor placed on top of the tank (TCC: Top Coil Clearomizer) and a wick soaked in liquid on both sides of the resistor (Stardust CE4, Vivi Nova, Iclear 30…).We still find clearomisers of this generation, appreciated by hot steam enthusiasts.The new clearos feature BCCs (Protank, Aerotank, Nautilus…) and are getting better and better designs, especially in terms of adjusting the amount of air drawn in.This category is still consumable because it is impossible (or difficult) to redo the coil.The possibility of mixing clearomizers, mixing off-the-shelf coils and making your own coils started to appear (Subtank, Delta 2, etc.).We’d rather talk about repairable or rebuildable atomizers.The vape is lukewarm, and even the latest generation of clearomizers develop open and even very open draws that are often tight.
or “Styling”.Said to be an atomizer or a copy of the original model.Chinese manufacturers are by far the main suppliers.Some clones are pale copies in terms of technology and vape quality, but there are also often well-made clones that keep users happy.Their prices are of course much lower than what the original creators charged.So it’s a very active market that allows everyone to buy equipment at a lower cost.
The other side of the coin is: the working conditions and compensation of the workers who mass-produce these products, making it almost impossible to compete with European manufacturers and therefore unable to develop corresponding employment opportunities, and the apparent theft of R&D work from the original creators.
In the “clone” category, there are copies of knockoffs.A counterfeit will even replicate the logos and mentions of the original product.The copy will replicate the form factor and principle of operation, but will not deceptively display the creator’s name.
The English phrase means “cloud hunting” and describes the specific use of materials and liquids to ensure maximum steam production.It has also become a sport across the Atlantic: to generate as much steam as possible.The electrical constraints required to do this are greater than Power Vaping and require a good understanding of its equipment and resistor components.It is definitely not recommended for people who use e-cigarettes for the first time.
An English term for a resistance or heating part.All atomizers are common and can be purchased complete (with capillary) as a transparent atomizer, or we can buy a coil of resistance wire wound by ourselves to conveniently equip the atomizer with it in terms of resistance value.Coil art from America, resulting in a montage of truly functional works of art worth viewing on the internet.
It is part of the atomizer, screwed onto the mod (or battery or box).The popular standard is the 510 connection (pitch: m7x0.5), and there is also the eGo standard (pitch: m12x0.5).Consists of a thread dedicated to the negative pole and an isolated positive contact (pin), usually adjustable in depth.
This is what happens when an IMR technology battery is shorted for an extended period of time (a few seconds may be enough), then the battery releases toxic gases and acids.Modules and boxes that contain batteries have one (or more) vents (holes) for degassing, in order to release these gases and this liquid, thereby avoiding a possible explosion of the battery.
Do it Yourself is the English D system for e-liquids that you make yourself, as well as hacks where you adapt the device to improve or personalize it… Literal translation: “Do it yourself.»
The suction heads fixed on the atomizer have countless shapes, materials and sizes. Generally, they have a 510 base, which is fixed by one or two O-rings to ensure the sealing and fixation of the atomizer. Suction diameter Can vary and some can be mounted on the top cover to provide no less than 18mm of useful suction.
An important category of atomizers, whose first characteristic is that the vape is “live”, without an intermediary, the liquid is poured directly on the coil, so it cannot hold much.Drippers have evolved and some now offer even more interesting vape autonomy.There are hybrids, as they provide a liquid reserve and a pumping system for their supply.In most cases it is a Rebuildable Dry Atomiser (RDA: Rebuildable Dry Atomiser) whose coils we will modulate to draw the desired vape in power and rendering.To taste the liquid, it’s very popular because it’s easy to clean, you just need to change the capillary to test or pump another e-liquid.It offers a hot vape and remains the atomizer with the best flavor rendering.
It is the difference in voltage value obtained at the output of the mod connector.The conductivity of mods is inconsistent from mod to mod.Also, over time, the material becomes dirty (threads, oxidation), causing voltage loss at the output of the module when the battery is fully charged.Depending on the design of the module and its clean state, a 1 volt difference can be observed.A voltage drop of 1 volt or 2/10 of a volt is normal.
Likewise, when we associate the mod with the atomizer, we can calculate the pressure drop.Assuming the mod sends the 4.1V measured at the direct output of the connection, the same measurement with the relevant atomizer will be lower, since the measurement will also take into account the presence of the ato, the conductivity of this, and the resistance of the material.
On nebulizers where the capillary can be replaced, it is best to clean the coil beforehand.This is what the dry burn (air heating) does, and it consists of making the bare resistor red for a few seconds to burn the vape’s residue (scale deposited by a high percentage of liquid in glycerin).Actions that need to be done in the know… Long dry burn, low resistance or fragile resistance wire, you may damage the wire.Brushing your teeth will complete the cleaning without forgetting the inside (eg with a toothpick)
This is the result of a dry vape or no liquid supply.Frequent experience with the dripper, you cannot see the amount of juice left in the atomizer.Impressions are unpleasant (“hot” or even burnt taste) and suggest an urgent replenishment of liquid or suggest that an unsuitable component does not provide the capillary action required for the flow rate imposed by resistance.
Abbreviation for electronic cigarette.Typically used for low profile, diameters up to 14 mm, or for disposable models with vacuum sensors that are rarely used today.
It is a liquid for vapers, consisting of PG (propylene glycol) in VG or GV (vegetable glycerin), fragrance and nicotine.You can also find additives, dyes, (distilled) water or unmodified ethanol.You can prepare it yourself (DIY) or buy it ready-made.
Connection standard for atomizer/clearomizers spacing: m 12 x 0.5 (in mm, height 12 mm, 0.5 mm between 2 threads).This connection requires an adapter: eGo/510 to accommodate modules that are not yet equipped.
Rope made from woven silica fibers (silicon dioxide) in various thicknesses.It is used as a capillary under different components: a sheath for threading cables or cylinders (Genesis atomizers) or original capillaries wrapped around resistance wires, (drippers, reconfigurable) Its properties make it a kind of Often used material as it really does not burn (like cotton or natural fibers) and does not smell of parasites when cleaning.It is a consumable that must be replaced regularly to get the most out of the flavor and avoid dry hits due to excess residue clogging the liquid passages.
We make coils out of resistive wire.Resistive wire has the property of resisting the resistance of current through it.When doing so, this resistance will cause the wire to heat up.There are several types of resistance wire (Kanthal, Inox or Nichrome are the most commonly used).
Conversely, non-resistive wires (nickel, silver…) will allow current to pass unrestricted (or very little).It is used to solder to the “legs” of the resistors in atomizers and BCC or BDC resistors to protect the insulation of the positive pin, which can quickly become damaged (unusable) due to the heat from the resistance wire.Is it beyond it.This component is written NR-R-NR (non-resistive-resistive-non-resistive).
The composition of 316L stainless steel: its particularity is its neutrality (physicochemical stability):
Say a module/atomizer set of the same diameter, once assembled, there will be no space left between them.For aesthetic and mechanical reasons, it is preferable to obtain flush components.
The Genesis atomizer has the peculiarity of feeding relative resistance from the bottom, its capillary is a roll of mesh (metal sheets of different frame sizes) that goes through the plate and soaks in the reserve juice.
Wrap a resistor around the upper end of the mesh.It is often the subject of makeovers by users who are passionate about this atomizer.Precise and rigorous assembly is required, and it still sits well on the scale of vape quality.It is of course rebuildable and its vape is warm.
