Electronic atomization cigarettes can be divided into the following types according to different types (smoke emitting principle, e-liquid type, smoke size, reusability, appearance, oil storage and oil guiding system):

1. Classification according to the principle of smoke emission
 

Heat-not-burn electronic atomizer cigarette: The main principle is low-temperature heating, which releases smoke by heating new tobacco, referred to as Hnb. The main feature is that a new type of tobacco similar to a cigarette needs to be inserted into the cigarette rod.

 

E-liquid atomization type electronic atomizer cigarette: The e-liquid is atomized through electric heating to generate smoke.

 

2. Classification by e-liquid category
 

CBD e-atomizer cigarette: Cannabidiol (CBD) is an ingredient in cannabis. This category is CBD-containing e-atomizer cigarettes.

 

Nicotine electronic atomizer cigarettes: The main components of e-liquid are vegetable glycerin (VG), propylene glycol (PG), flavors, and optionally added nicotine (nicotine). Those containing nicotine are nicotine electronic atomizer cigarettes.

 

Nicotine-free electronic atomizer cigarettes: E-cigarettes that do not contain nicotine are called nicotine-free electronic atomizer cigarettes.

 

3. Classification according to smoke size
 

Small smoke: the abbreviation of small smoke electronic atomizer cigarette.

 

Big smoke: short for large-volume electronic atomizer cigarette.

 

4. Classification according to reusability
 

Disposable cigarettes: Electronic atomizer cigarettes that cannot be recharged and reused. They are discarded as soon as the e-liquid is used up.

 

Disposable atomizer cartridge electronic atomizer cigarette: the atomizer cartridge is separated from the cigarette rod. The cigarette rod has a battery that can be recharged and reused. After the atomizer bomb is used up, the atomizer bomb can be replaced without changing the cigarette rod.

 

Oil-refillable electronic atomizer cigarette: It can be used repeatedly. This kind of atomizer cartridge has a long service life. After the e-liquid in the atomizer cartridge is used up, it can be refilled 3-6 times for continued use.

 

5. Classification by appearance
 

Simulated cigarette: The size and appearance of the cigarette are the same as real cigarettes. When smoking, the bright end of the electronic atomizer lamp has the same effect as the ash head.

 

Non-simulated cigarettes: various shapes that can produce smoke, but the shape is no longer limited to cigarettes.

 

6. Classification by oil storage and oil guiding system
 

Resistance wire atomization electronic atomizer smoke: absorb the oil through the cotton wick or fiber rope, and introduce the smoke oil in the atomization tank to the heating coil. When the coil is heated, the smoke can be evaporated.

 

Porous ceramic atomization electronic atomizer smoke: The porous ceramic is burned with a heating resistor, which integrates oil conduction and heating. The resistor on the ceramic is energized to heat the e-liquid to emit smoke.

Essentially, large cigarettes and small cigarettes are composed of atomizers, batteries, and e-liquid. The biggest differences are in appearance, heating power, and nicotine content; the calorific value of large cigarettes is between 300 and 500 degrees, and the degree of e-liquid analysis is Different, so pod cigarettes are between 100 and 300, and have a relatively more delicate taste; pod cigarettes use nicotine salt, which is lower in cost, has a stronger throat hit, and has a lower nicotine content.

 

Big cigarettes have large body, high e-liquid capacity, large smoke volume, and are very enjoyable to smoke. However, the huge e-liquid capacity and smoke volume are much higher than those of traditional tobacco, which makes it difficult for many smokers to adapt, and even some Smokers who have been smoking for a long time cannot accept it.

 

Small cigarettes are light, compact, have diverse tastes, beautiful appearance, strong portability, less smoke volume, and lighter smoke taste. However, they can also meet the needs of ordinary smokers for the throat hit of traditional cigarettes, and can also relieve smoking addiction. role.

 

1. Different taste

The smoke produced by heating the large smoke atomizer is rich and mellow. The diffuse feeling of this huge smoke can satisfy some users with heavy tastes. The small e-liquid content is small, and the smoke produced after the atomizer is heated is relatively thin.

 

2. Different stability

Due to the high output power of large cigarettes, the temperature of its heated atomizer is relatively more stable. Small cigarettes have relatively poor heating temperature stability due to their low power.

 

3. Different battery capacities

The battery capacity of Dayan is larger, so it can be used for a longer time. The battery capacity of small cigarettes is small, and it usually takes 3-5 days or 1-2 days before it needs to be charged.

 

4. Differences in aroma

The aroma of big smoke is usually more intense. Since the vape juice has a larger capacity and the heater has a higher power, it can produce more smoke and flavor. Small vape pens are generally suitable for those who prefer a mild aroma, while vape pens are more suitable for those who want a richer taste and more intense aroma.

1. What is an electronic atomizer?

Electronic atomizer, that is, electronic atomization cigarette, also called steam cigarette. It consists of an atomizer, battery, and e-liquid. It mainly adopts the atomizer principle, that is, the atomizer is powered by the battery and generates heat, which volatilizes the e-liquid to form smoke vapor containing nicotine. Electronic atomizers were originally launched on the market as smoking cessation and cigarette replacement products. Due to their addictive nature, many countries prohibit the purchase of e-atomizers by people under the age of 18.

 

2. Principle of electronic atomizer

Smoke is obtained by heating the heating wire in the atomizer to evaporate the e-liquid on the internal oil-conducting cotton. The working principle of all atomizers is the same. Powered by the host, the heating coil in the atomizer is heated (or (called atomizing core), the heating coil generates heat, and the e-liquid adsorbed on the oil-conducting cotton outside (or inside) the evaporation coil, and then the atomized smoke is taken away by the air flow inhaled by the user.

 

3. What are the ingredients of atomized e-liquid?

Atomized tobacco liquid is a liquid used in electronic atomizer cartridges. It is generally the essence extracted from plants and added with flavorings. It has strong antioxidant properties and generally does not contain traditional tobacco substances such as carbon monoxide and tar. Among the ingredients of electronic atomization liquid, the main ingredients are glycerin, propylene glycol, nicotine, and flavors.

 

4. What is nicotine salt?

Let’s first take a look at nicotine—commonly known as nicotine. It is a pyridine derivative alkaloid. It has a certain alkalinity and will be absorbed directly after entering the human body. Nicotine salt, a common ingredient in e-liquid, is neutral and different from ordinary nicotine. Salt is actually a crystal formed by the reaction of organic salts of free nicotine. After nicotine salt enters the human body, it decomposes into nicotine and corresponding acids, which can prevent nicotine from directly entering the body and reduce stimulation and burden on the human body.

When using an electronic smoking cessation device, you will often feel your mouth is sweet or even numb after taking a puff. This is because the electronic smoking cessation device produces a liquid called condensate when it is atomized, so we do not know when the mouth is sweet. Is it an oil leak or excessive condensation accumulation? So how to tell whether it is an oil leak or condensation? Generally, there are two possibilities for oil leakage in electronic smoking cessation devices. One is oil leakage from the head, and the other is oil leakage from the bottom.

 

1. Oil leakage detection on the head of electronic smoking cessation device

a. First wipe the oil leakage part of the head with a paper towel, then vigorously shake it head down for 10 times, and then use toilet paper to roll into a long and thin shape to clean the cartridge tube.

b. Repeat the operation of 1. If the oil leakage at the top becomes less or no oil leaks, it is condensate and the atomizer is normal. If there is always oil, or the oil leakage does not decrease, it is due to oil leakage from the top of the atomizer.

 

Note: If you repeat it more than three times and your rolling paper still contains liquid, then there is a high probability that the atomizer is leaking.

 

2. Oil leakage detection at the bottom of electronic smoking cessation device

Judging oil leakage at the bottom is actually the simplest. Generally, if you have oil leakage at the bottom, you can clearly see liquid flowing out of the bottom with the naked eye. Because the oil leakage at the bottom is serious and cannot be stopped, you can judge whether it is leaking with the naked eye.

The atomizing core of electronic atomizer can be divided into two types: "finished atomizing core" and "RBA type atomizing core". The finished atomizing core is the atomizing core that is uniformly processed and made by the factory. You can buy it yourself and replace it directly; The RBA atomizing core is a type of atomizing core that can be made by yourself. It requires winding a heating coil and installing the heating coil and oil-conducting cotton.

 

Many novices will ask how often should the atomizer core of an electronic atomizer be replaced?

 

Generally speaking, there is no fixed replacement cycle for the atomizer core. You can judge whether it needs to be replaced based on your own experience. However, the service life of the finished atomizer core is usually about 7-15 days, so it is recommended to replace it every half a month.

 

You can judge whether the RBA atomizer core needs to be replaced based on the following two points:

1. Judging the taste of e-liquid. During use, the taste of the e-liquid becomes worse, mixed with a hint of burnt smell (burnt cotton smell), and even a "spicy throat" feeling. Check whether the atomizer core is "burnt". If this occurs, it needs to be replaced.

2. Observe the inside of the atomizer core. You can remove the oil tank and observe the inside of the atomizer core to see if the cotton around the coil is burned, discolored or carbon deposited, and decide whether to replace it according to the situation.

 

In addition, before replacing the atomizer core, be sure to ensure that there is no e-liquid in the atomizer before changing the core to avoid oil leakage. When screwing on the new atomizer core, remember to tighten it in place, but at the same time make sure it is not too tight to avoid being unable to remove it when you replace the atomizer core next time.

Electronic atomizer oiling machine is a kind of oiling equipment specially developed for electronic atomizer oiling. It generally includes a transmission unit, a feeding unit, an oiling machine, a material return device, a clamp, and a workbench. The transmission unit is set on the workbench. , the oil injection machine is set on the workbench and located above the transmission unit, and the feeding unit and the material return device are respectively set on the workbench and distributed on one side of the transmission unit.

 

The mainstream electronic atomizer oil injection machines on the market generally use stepper motors + PLC control, and achieve high-precision quantitative oil injection through metering pump suction. Through the programmed movement and positioning of the tray and oil injection head base, this equipment has high oil injection accuracy and fast efficiency. ,easy to use. At present, most electronic atomizer manufacturers have adopted automated equipment to refill products (including disposable vapes), which has advantages in maintaining product stability, improving production efficiency, and reducing costs.

 

The filling of electronic atomizer e-liquid is divided into barrels, bottles, and empty semi-finished products. The electronic atomizer e-liquid filling process is roughly divided into: unpacking the bottle - automatically feeding the bottle to the station - automatically rotating - (e-liquid Heating) automatic quantitative filling - automatic cap sorting and capping (vibration cap feeding) (optional) - automatic cap locking - finished product conveyor belt output.

 

Electronic atomizer oiling machines can be divided into semi-automatic oiling machines, automatic oiling machines, and fully automatic oiling all-in-one machines. The fully automatic oiling all-in-one machine is a new type of machine that can replace traditional manual work. This is more convenient and efficient. It can automatically complete the assembly process of several different stations, including loading oil bottles and electronic cigarette holders with vibrating plates, filling oil, grabbing and pre-installing cigarette holders, inspecting cigarette holders, tightening cigarette holders, and outputting products.

 

Precautions for using the fully automatic oiling machine:

1. When the equipment does not work after startup, you should check whether the electrical system is turned on. We can check whether the induction switch is in the original position of the cylinder. Also, check for any short circuit faults or open circuit faults.

2. When the cylinder is not working, first check whether the sensor switch on the cylinder is in place and stays on? Then check the solenoid valve, cylinder and circuit in sequence.

3. When it is found that the oil valve does not fill with oil or leaks oil, you should check whether the air pressure is within the normal range (about 0.5 MPA) and whether there is air leakage somewhere. If everything else is fine and the valve is still leaking oil, the valve seal may need to be replaced.

4. The machine should be ensured to be clean to prevent anything from hindering the normal operation of the machine; the linear guide should be lubricated at least once a week to ensure smooth operation of the guide; it is recommended that the oil valve sealing ring be replaced every three months.

Electronic atomizer is mainly composed of five parts: e-liquid (containing nicotine, essence, solvent propylene glycol, etc.), atomizer (heating system), battery (power supply), cigarette rod and cigarette holder. It produces gas with a specific smell through heating and atomization. Sol is for smokers. The heated atomizer is powered by a battery rod and can convert the liquid nicotine in the cartridge into mist.

 

1. Atomizer and e-liquid

As the core component of e-cigarettes, ceramic heating can increase the amount of atomized vapor by about 25% compared to traditional cotton wick heating, and has good continuity. While improving the heating effect, it can save 20 % of the electrical energy, extending the service life of the e-cigarette device battery. The structure of an atomizer is a heating element that generates heat through battery power, causing the e-liquid next to it to volatilize and form smoke.

 

In the atomizer, the e-liquid can be evaporated into smoke through heating. This process will generate a high temperature of 200°C to 300°C. Therefore, the atomizer and surrounding accessories must be made of materials that are resistant to high temperatures and have good heat dissipation properties, so that they can withstand the high temperatures of the heating atomization process without damaging the atomizer due to heat accumulation. The so-called e-liquid, also known as electronic cigarette liquid, is made from glycerin, propylene glycol, flavorings and plant extracts through ingredients, mixing, standing, filtering, packaging and other processes.

 

For the atomizer tank material of high-end electronic cigarettes, some big-name manufacturers choose engineering plastic polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material. This is a unique semi-crystalline, thermoplastic engineering plastic. It has excellent chemical properties and is often used in hot water or steam environments. It can maintain high levels of bending strength and tensile strength, and can withstand high temperatures and long-term use. It can reach 260℃, has no odor at high temperatures and has good thermal conductivity, making it perfect for use in electronic cigarettes.

 

2. Cigarette rods and cigarette holders

The basic components inside the electronic atomizer rod are a light PCBA board, rechargeable batteries, and various electronic circuits. If it is manual sensing, there will also be buttons. The button material is silicone rubber, which has many characteristics such as excellent electrical insulation and fatigue resistance. The button and the wrapped silicone layer are integrally formed, making it dustproof and waterproof, and the pressing feel is strong. Electronic atomization products composed of these materials must be waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof as the first prerequisite, so that the electronic components inside will not be damaged or malfunction and ensure their service life.

 

Generally speaking, the cigarette holder is the cartridge. Sometimes, the factory glues the atomizer and the cartridge and e-liquid together to make a disposable atomizer. The advantage of this is that it can greatly improve the taste and smoke volume of e-cigarettes, and at the same time, the quality is more stable, because the atomizer is the most susceptible to damage. Traditional e-cigarettes have a separate atomizer, which will break down within a few days. .

 

3. Battery (power supply)

Most electronic atomizers use lithium-ion batteries and secondary battery power components. Battery life depends on usage time and frequency, and operating environment. There are many different battery charger types to choose from, such as direct socket charging, car chargers, and USB interface chargers. In addition, the battery is also the largest part of the electronic cigarette.

The heating wire is one of the most important core components of e-cigarettes (e-atomizers), which determines many important properties of e-cigarettes. The types of heating wire components can be divided into: riveted heating wire components, butt welding heating wire components, simple winding heating wire components, spring coil (Nautilus heating wire) components, ceramic core heating wire components, heating sheet heating components, etc.

 

1. Riveting heating wire components

Riveted heating wires are used in various pod cigarettes, one-piece cigarettes, and tank atomizers. Advantages: solid structure, resistance to bending, and stable resistance; disadvantages: the terminals occupy a certain amount of space, so size considerations need to be taken into consideration when designing.

 

2. Butt welding heating wire components

Butt welding heating wire is used in various small cigarettes, one-piece cigarettes, tank atomizers, etc. Advantages: stable resistance/small tolerance, small solder joint space; Disadvantages: when the diameter Φ ≤0.08mm, welding is difficult and the yield rate lower.

 

3. Simple winding heating wire assembly

Simple winding heating wire is widely used in various flat cigarette POD atomizers. Advantages: stable resistance, simple structure, small size, and high production efficiency. It is suitable for small flat cigarette PODs. Disadvantages: the electric heating wire also generates heat while also It plays the role of conductive connection and will occupy a certain amount of power, so the product structure design and accuracy requirements are higher.

 

4. Spring coil (Nautilus heating wire) component

The spring coil heating wire assembly is composed of a heating wire and a connecting wire, and is made through welding, winding and bending processes. They are mostly used in high-power electronic cigarettes and are also favored by DIY users. They are characterized by small resistance and can be used in parallel at the same time. When used, oil-conducting cotton ropes or lumps of cotton can be threaded manually.

 

5. Ceramic core heating wire assembly

Common ceramic core heating wires are divided into two types: outer-wound heating wires and internal encapsulation types. They are mainly composed of ceramic bodies, internal heating wires, and pin connecting wires. Some require accessories such as electrodes. It can be used in small atomizers, tank atomizers, box atomizers, etc. It is characterized by stable resistance, stable structure, and not easy to deform.

 

6. Heating piece heating component

The stainless steel heating plate is composed of a stainless steel base material and pin connections, and is made through stamping-curling-seamless welding-welding processes. Thick film resistance heating sheets are mostly used in instant heating equipment such as electric water heaters. They are made of stainless steel base materials through thick film processing. Stainless steel heating sheets are mostly used in high-power electronic cigarettes, and thick film resistance heating sheets are mostly used in baked cigarettes.

Electronic atomizer e-liquid, also known as electronic atomization liquid, is generally the essence extracted from plants and added with food flavors. It has strong antioxidant properties. The main ingredients are glycerin, propylene glycol, nicotine salt, and essence. Nicotine, also known as nicotine, is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in plants of the Solanaceae family. Nicotine accounts for about 0.6-3.0% of the dry weight of tobacco, and is also present in edible plants of the Solanaceae family, including potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants, at ppb levels. Nicotine is a hygroscopic, colorless to yellow-brown oily liquid and is one of the important components of various tobacco products.

 

The nicotine in electronic atomizer e-liquid is usually L-nicotine. Nicotine is a chiral compound and therefore optically active. It has two enantiomeric forms, namely L-nicotine (S-enantiomer) and R-nicotine (R-enantiomer). Research to date shows that L-nicotine is much more physiologically active at nicotinic receptors than D-nicotine, causing a stronger sensation or irritation. In the nicotine extracted from natural tobacco, the content of L-nicotine is 99.3%, which is the enantiomeric form of nicotine naturally occurring in Solanaceae plants.

 

What is nicotine salt? Nicotine salt is one of the main components of current electronic atomization liquid. It is a compound formed by combining nicotine and acid. Nicotine salt itself exists in natural tobacco leaves, and various organic acids can also be used to allow different conjugate bases to protonate the amino groups of nicotine and combine to generate nicotine salts. Currently, the three most common acids used to form nicotine salts are lactic acid, benzoic acid, and levulinic acid. Benzoic acid is the most commonly used acid in making nicotine salts.

 

In electronic atomization liquid, replacing nicotine with nicotine salt can make the pH value of the entire system closer to the normal value of the human body, thus providing a higher level of nicotine without irritating the throat. At the same time, nicotine salt can speed up the transmission rate of nicotine in the blood and improve the utilization rate of nicotine. And nicotine salt has an obvious soft feeling and is less irritating to the throat than free nicotine.

Different countries have different definitions of e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes usually refer to ENDS (the abbreviation of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems). Its working principle is to use batteries to heat e-cigarette oil (usually containing nicotine, flavors and Other chemicals that contribute to aerosol generation), creating an aerosol that the user inhales into the lungs. E-cigarette related products include: cartridges, atomizers, nicotine, smoking accessories, accessories, etc.

 

The electronic cigarette oil injection machine is an automated equipment used to automatically inject smoke oil into the electronic cigarette atomizer. It is divided into two types: electronic cigarette pneumatic oil injection machine and electric oil injection machine. The working principles of the two are as follows:

1. Electronic cigarette pneumatic oil injection machine: Its product structure mainly consists of pump body, pneumatic part, control part and oil injection part. The pump body is responsible for extracting liquid from the oil storage bottle and driving the pump body through the pneumatic part. The control part is responsible for controlling the amount and speed of filling, while the filling part injects liquid into the electronic cigarette through the needle. Its working principle is based on the principle of air pressure balance and mechanical transmission: when in use, the user sets the amount and speed of oil injection through the control part, and the pneumatic part draws out and pressurizes the liquid, forming a certain air pressure difference, so that the liquid flows through the needle to Inside the e-cigarette.

2. Electronic cigarette electric oil injection machine: Its product structure mainly includes an electric screw rod combination, a negative pressure device, an oil injection part and a control panel. It does not require an air pump. The working principle is to control the flow of e-liquid by electrically controlling the switch of the pump. The nozzle injects e-liquid into the atomizer through the needle to achieve automatic filling. This is a highly automated, easy-to-use, safe and reliable equipment with simple operation, small size, high precision, high efficiency, and strong stability.

3. Electric oil injection machines consume more power than pneumatic oil injection, but have high precision and better stability. There is no need to configure a compressed air system. The electric screw rod combination controls the injection volume and injection speed, and the working efficiency can be as high as 1800 pieces/hour-5000. Branch/hour.

4. Electronic cigarette electric refueling machines are divided into automatic refueling machines and semi-automatic refueling machines. The semi-automatic e-cigarette refueling machine works by hand-held refueling. The motor screw combination controls the injection volume and speed. It is automatically cleaned and does not require an air pump. It is simple to operate. , small size, easy to transport, easy to maintain, high precision and strong stability.

Currently, most of the e-atomizer (CBD) oil injection machines on the market are non-heated oil injection machines, and the temperature control is only performed for a period of time. This will cause the temperature of CBD oil and Delta-8 oil to be too high and burn. Failure to heat or uneven heating during time operation results in poor fluidity of the oil.

 

The temperature control of the heated electronic atomizer oil injection machine consists of 3 stages of heating and insulation and 1 stage of insulation. On the touch screen, after setting the oil temperature, the error is very small, about +/- 0.5 range. The machine automatically heats to the set temperature and maintains it. When the temperature is lower than the set temperature, the machine starts. After reaching it, it automatically Keep warm and stop heating to effectively ensure that the oil does not deteriorate and the taste does not change.

 

Due to the viscosity characteristics of CBD, Delta8, and THC hemp oil, the oil temperature changes in different seasons, and sometimes it solidifies or flows. Consider these factors after setting up the program for your heated e-atomizer oiler. After the entire cigarette rod fixture plate is filled with oil, the oil filling needle will automatically stop working, retreat outside the working area, and be inserted into the heat preservation position for heat preservation processing to ensure that the temperature does not change. Like the unheated oil injection machine, the one-way valve can accurately control the amount of oil injected, thereby ensuring the accuracy and precision of oil injection.

 

The biggest difference between the heated electronic atomizer oil filling machine and the non-heated CBD oil filling machine is that the applicable oil filling liquids are different. The heating oil filling machine is suitable for filling all heated and non-heated liquids; the non-heated electronic cigarette oil filling machine is only suitable for Non-heated liquid oil filling. The equipment itself, except for the additional heating and temperature control device, has basically the same process principles and structure. (Figure 1 shows a heated e-cigarette refueling machine, Figure 2 shows a non-heated e-cigarette refueling machine)

 

The three-stage temperature control of the heated electronic atomizer oil injection machine corresponds to three positions: oil barrel, oil pipe, and needle oil injection port. The needle is insulated (to prevent the oil in the needle from solidifying when filling oil in winter) and prevents overburning. The program generally has an anti-cold start function. When the set oil temperature is not reached, the machine will not be able to automatically refill oil.
