Electronic Cigarettes have become increasingly popular over the last couple of years. Many people have chosen to leave their tobacco habit behind for a more popular trend, the Electronic Cigarette.

Size of an Electronic Cigarette

First let’s take a look at the styles of electronic cigarettes. E-Cigarettes are available in many sizes ranging from approximately the size of a cigarette to the size of a cigar, and even some in the shape of a box. Your first decision will be the size of your e-cigarette. Do you want an e-cigarette that looks and resembles a cigarette or is size not an issue for you?

Many people prefer to start with an e-cigarette that is similar in size to a cigarette. This is always a great place to start, but you need to be aware that a smaller battery will need to be recharged more often. Smaller batteries last approximately 1 1/2 hours to 3 hours of use. You can always purchase additional batteries to rotate in the charger or pick up a PCC (Personal Charging Case) which will keep batteries charged while you are away from home.

If size is not an issue for you, you will want to start out with a larger battery. The large capacity batteries will last anywhere between 6 and 24 hours depending on size. Less charging means the batteries will last longer before needing to be replaced. Also, with a larger battery you may be getting more power which will produce more vapor. If clouds of vapor are what you are looking for, then you will want an e-cigarette with a large capacity battery.

Accessibility

Choosing the brand of e-cigarettes is very important because you will want a variety that is easily obtainable so that you are able to purchase additional batteries, cartomizers or accessories. By this I mean that there are plenty of internet site that carry the style of e-cigarettes that you have chosen. I would recommend that you look at some of the main models like the 510, 901, or 808 e-cigarettes because they have a reputation of quality and are easily obtained on the internet.

Cartomizers and Atomizers

Cartomizer and Atomizers are similar to the filter on a cigarette. On an e-cigarette, this is the component that holds the e-liquid. There are many different cartomizers to choose from. Some have more of an airy draw, some have a really tight draw and some do not produce much vapor. When I first started vaping, I did not like the cartomizer that was recommended to me. Once I found a cartomizer that I liked, it was easy to make the transition from cigarettes to e-cigarettes. Make sure that the battery style you choose has a variety of cartomizers that will connect to it and I am sure that you will find one that fits your preference.

E-Liquid

E-liquid comes in a variety of flavors and strengths. You will want to start with a nicotine strength that is close to what you are currently smoking. High/24mg E-liquid is equivalent to a full flavor stronger cigarette. Medium/18mg E-liquid is equivalent to most full flavor cigarettes. Light/12mg E-liquid is equivalent to a light cigarette.

Now that you know where to start and what to look for, it is always a great time to make the transition from cigarettes to an electronic cigarette.
