Electronic Cigarettes BasicsElectronic Cigarettes BasicsV2 ReviewSelect PageThe BasicsYou can’t smoke an e-cig, because no smoke is produced. They produce only flavoured vapour, and for this reason it is known as vaping, and not smoking.The vapour produced is mainly just water, and it doesn’t contain all the dangerous, toxic and cancer-causing chemicals that are in tobacco smoke. This is why vaping is known as the healthier alternative to smoking. If you switch to vaping from smoking, you really will notice the health benefits almost at once.Your bank balance will soon notice the difference too! Vaping is a lot cheaper than smoking and there is no tobacco tax to pay. Vaping costs around 10% of the cost of smoking tobacco cigarettes, and even substantially less with some e-cig options.Add to this the ability to vape in places where smoking is banned and the wide variety of flavours, and you won’t look back!First Time VapingThere is no denying that, for the first time user of electronic cigarettes, the choices can be daunting.

This site is designed to guide you through the various options, helping you to choose the right e-cigarette so that the switch from tobacco to vaping is as enjoyable and easy as possible. Existing vapers can also find some handy hints, ways to get more from their experience, and even discover some new products.The E-cigAll e-cigs consist of a few basic parts, a battery, an atomiser that heats the liquid to produce the vapour, and a reservoir of some form to hold the e-liquid.A cartomizer is a disposable, all-in-one, pre-filled cartridge that is simply screwed onto the end of a battery in a rechargeable e-cig. A clearomizer is a clear tank containing a heating coil that the user can manually fill with liquid, making them refillable.
As e-cigs became popular in the US before they were widely used here, the accepted spelling is cartomizer and clearomizer, rather than having UK versions of cart/clearomiser.
All e-cig parts simply screw together, which means that they are replaceable, and often, but not always, interchangeable.
