Atomizer - what is it? Reviews about atomizers

Recently, people are increasingly using electronic cigarettes in which an atomizer is installed. What is it, know not all. This article describes the operation of atomizers and some tips on how to use them.

What is an atomizer for?

The standard atomizer in an electronic cigarette is nothing more than the most common evaporator (cliromizers, 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 similar devices.

Sometimes the most respected technical and news portals in their materials can mention so-called ultrasonic atomizers. But the practice and interrogations of specialists 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 liquid heats up, passes into steam, which the person inhales. In other words, the electron atomizer is a small reservoir of a cylindrical shape, inside of which is a bowl of ceramics. It has a built-in evaporative system.

The composition of the evaporative system includes a wick (most often a thread capable of withstanding a sufficiently high temperature), on top of which the winding of the atomizer is set, which is a nichrome spiral (can be of different diameters, depending on the particular 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.

Above the evaporation system, a special metal bridge, covered with a microporous material based on iron, is most often laid. This is necessary in order to protect the atomizer from damage, as well as to transfer liquid to the evaporative system.

Some models of electronic cigarettes use a tank series of the evaporative system, which contains an atomizer. 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 of it is a thread wrapped in a thin 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 to 1.8 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 on 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 a 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. The question immediately arises as to how to clean the spiral of carbon so that the atomizer has been working for some time. You can do it, but not everything is so simple.

It is worth remembering that, like liquid in an electronic cigarette, an atomizer is 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 need to dispel another legend about electronic 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. Disconnect the atomizer from the batteries, after which it is rinsed 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 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, this 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, immerse the atomizer in a liquid designed for cleaning the carbon. 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 in the following way:

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 during the burning.

3. Do not use a strong jet of water 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 himself many 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.
