Atomizer - what is it? Reviews about atomizers
Recently, people are increasingly usingelectronic cigarettes in which an atomizer is installed. What is it, know not all. This article contains a description of the principle of atomizers and some tips for using them.
What is an atomizer for?
Standard atomizer in an electronic cigaretteis nothing more than the most common evaporator (cliromayzers, cartomizers, etc.). All of them can be a part of various electronic cigarettes. Understanding their principle of operation, the owner will be easier to navigate in the world of such devices.
Sometimes the most respected technical and newsportals in their materials can be mentioned so-called ultrasonic atomizers. But the practice and interrogations of experts show that in fact such statements are a myth. The ultrasonic flavoring system was used in the very first models of electronic cigarettes. To date, this is no longer practiced.
Device
The principle of operation is that the liquidHe warms up, turns into steam, which the person inhales. In other words, the electron atomizer is a small reservoir of cylindrical shape, inside which is a bowl of ceramics. It has a built-in evaporative system.
The composition of the evaporative system includes a wick(most often it is a thread capable of withstanding a sufficiently high temperature), on top of which the atomizer winding is installed, which is a nichrome spiral (can be of different diameters, depends on the specific model of the device). At the ends of the winding there are contacts connected to the buttons, sensors and microcircuits. All this is connected to the atomizer battery.
Over the evaporative system, most oftenlay a special bridge of metal, covered with microporous material based on iron. This is necessary in order to protect the atomizer from damage, as well as to transfer the liquid to the evaporative system.
In some models of electronic cigarettesThe tank series of the evaporative system, which contains the atomizer, is used. What it is? The fact is that instead of the bridge described above, a special platform is used here, on which a cylindrical "beak" is installed. Inside it is a thread, wrapped in a fine metal net. In the opening of the cartridge (liquid container) this "beak" is inserted, after which the liquid passes into the evaporation system.
Atomizers are divided into several types, because nichrome in them is used in various sizes:
Low Resistance (LR) - low resistance (up to1.8 Ohms). Such atomizer gives a lot of flavoring properties and emits a lot of steam, but evaporation occurs only in the most extreme mode. Such devices are the fastest to fail, judging by what they say reviews.
Atomizer of standard type (Regular). Has an operating resistance (up to 2.8 ohms). The work takes place in the optimal mode, the guaranteed period of work is about six months.
Atomizers of high-resistance type (High Voltage) - work at resistance more than 2 Ohm. The best atomizer is difficult to choose, everything is individual here.
A few tips for using atomizers
The previous section told about the atomizer: what it is, and what parts it consists of. Now we need to figure out how to properly operate it. It is enough to understand several principles, so that the atomizer will work for a long time.
Over time, the taste properties of the substance,located in any, even the most expensive atomizer, will deteriorate. The point is not only that the wick and nichrome threads burn with time, but also in the formation of the unburned components of the atomizer on the spirals. Because of this, his work gradually begins to deteriorate.
Flavor is left most of all. By the way, there are practically no such problems for "electronic" smokers who do not use flavoring substances. Then the question arises as to how to clean the spiral from the deposit, so that the atomizer will work for some time. You can do it, but not everything is so simple.
It is worth remembering that, like fluid in the electronica cigarette, an atomizer - just an expendable material. Therefore, further techniques are suggested that allow cleaning the deposit and improving the operation of the device. However, all this is done at your own peril and risk: some models simply do not withstand manipulation. By the way, the guarantee of manufacturers is lost after the atomizer is washed or cleaned.
Now we must dispel another legend aboute-cigarettes. Everyone thinks that we must carefully monitor that water and other liquids do not get inside the atomizer, although in fact this is far from the truth. His work constantly goes in the humidity, so getting water in it will not do any harm.
Standard cleaning procedure
To atomizer last longer, periodically it must be washed and cleaned of carbon. Let's consider the instruction on points:
1. It is necessary to disconnect the atomizer from the batteries, after which it is washed with hot water. But not with boiling water, it is enough to use such water, which does not cause discomfort to the hands. To remove water, you need to blow the atomizer. Repeat the rinse several times.
2. Now you need to dry the device dry. This can be done with a hair dryer (use not very hot air), a radiator or a fan.
3. Next, install the atomizer in an electronic cigarette, having previously dripped into it with liquid. It should well soak up the spiral and wick so that after the first start of the electronic cigarette, no breakdown occurs. Now the device is finally ready to work.
If such actions are carried out once a week, the work of the atomizer will last for a much longer period. In addition, it will avoid a strong deposit on the spirals.
Cleaning with heavy soiling
It is worth remembering that if the atomizer is very dirty, then such cleaning will not help. I'll have to use the following method:
1. Rinse and purge should be done more than three times.
2. Next, the atomizer should be immersed in a liquid intended for cleaning the deposit. The device should stay there for at least a few hours. Do not use detergents or solvents, it is better to take dissolved citric acid or a Coca-Cola drink.
3. Periodically, the vessel with the solution must be shaken to peel the peeling.
4. After holding the atomizer in solution, it should be dried.
Ignition of the atomizer
After finishing all cleaning procedures, you need to burn an atomizer. This will require:
1. Place the atomizer in an electronic cigarette. The cartridge does not need to be installed yet.
2. Press the electronic cigarette key for 5-7 seconds, simultaneously blowing inside the atomizer. Due to this, the spiral is heated, the remaining deposit is removed, and it will not be possible to overheat the device. This action must be repeated at least three times.
After that, the atomizer will be cleaned and finally ready for operation.
Inadmissible operations during operation
The device requires good handling of itself, as many reviews say. Atomizer is undesirable to exploit as follows:
1. Chemicals should not be used for cleaning, because their residues are extremely difficult to remove. This will damage the device.
2. Do not overheat the atomizer while burning.
3. Do not use a strong water jet to flush the atomizer, as there is a chance of damaging the spiral.
4. Do not use hot air to dry.
From this article the reader should clarify for himselfmany questions about the atomizer: what is it, how to use it, how to clean it and how to prevent an early breakdown. If you follow the above tips, the life of an electronic cigarette will be very long.
