An electronic cigarette is a handheld battery-powered vaporizer that simulates smoking, but without tobacco combustion. [1] E-cigarette components include a mouthpiece (drip tip [2]), a cartridge (liquid storage area), a heating element/atomizer, a microprocessor, a battery, and some of them have an LED light on the end. [3]
An electronic cigarette (e-cigarette), or vape, [note 1] [1] is a device that simulates smoking. It consists of an atomizer, a power source such as a battery, and a container such as a cartridge or tank. Instead of smoke, the user inhales vapor. [2] As such, using an e-cigarette is often called "vaping". [3]
In 2014, Logic Technology Development cited Nielsen in saying that it was the number one e-cigarette company in the United States, [8] although it has also been reported that it was second behind Blu eCigs. [9] In April 2015, Japan Tobacco International (JTI) agreed to acquire Logic Technology Development. [1]
E-cigarette components include a mouthpiece, a cartridge (liquid storage area), a heating element or atomizer, a microprocessor, a battery, and some of them have a LED light at the tip. [40] They are disposable or reusable devices. [41] Disposable ones are not rechargeable and typically cannot be refilled with a liquid. [41]
A Battery: Eveready 742: 1.5 V: Metal tabs H: 101.6 L: 63.5 W: 63.5 Used to provide power to the filament of a vacuum tube. B Battery: Eveready 762-S: 45 V: Threaded posts H: 146 L: 104.8 W: 63.5 Used to supply plate voltage in vintage vacuum tube equipment. Origin of the term B+ for plate voltage power supplies.
NJOY, founded in 2007, was one of the first major e-cigarette brands in the US. [2] [3] It was founded by Arizona attorney Mark Weiss.[4]NJOY King. In 2010, the company won a landmark lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration.
The battery slowly charges a capacitor, which is then discharged through a flashbulb to provide a high-current pulse to ignite the bulb. [2] Higher-voltage photoflash batteries were also made to fire reusable xenon electronic flash tubes, which require a high voltage, without the use of circuitry generating this voltage from low-voltage batteries.
Starting batteries are lighter than deep-cycle batteries of the same size, because the thinner and lighter cell plates do not extend all the way to the bottom of the battery case. This allows loose, disintegrated material to fall off the plates and collect at the bottom of the cell, prolonging the service life of the battery.
