Key Terminology
There are a few things to cover before you venture off. Some key terminology to gather in, and some important names and models in the industry. For instance, electronic cigarette or e-cig is not the commonly accepted name. The general term that encompasses these devices is personal vaporizer or PV. These are the main reasons:
- An "electronic cigarette" is a type of PV that simulates the size and look of an analog cigarette.
- Not all vapers use juice with nicotine. The term "e-cig" illustrates a product with nicotine.
Alright, thats a bit much to take in, but Ill expand on some of this information as we go along. Here are some key terms to remember:
PV and PV Component Terminology
- PV: Personal Vaporizer (abbreviated as PV and pluralized as PVs). This is a device that vaporizes a liquid solution for the purpose of inhaling the vapor.
- Atomizer: The atomizer (also referred to as an atty, atties, or attys [the latter two being plural]) is a component of a PV. This part of the PV contains the coil (see Coil below) that vaporizes the liquid into vapor. It connects in between a battery connection and a cartridge or a drip tip. (See Drip Tip below)
- Cartridge: The cartridge (also referred to as a cart or plural carts) is a component of a PV. This part holds the liquid and allows the vaper to draw air and vapor through. It connects to the atomizer. (See Liquid below)
- Coil: The coil refers to the actual wire inside of the atomizer or cartomizer that vaporizes the liquid.
- Wick: The wick refers to a polyester thread in atomizers and CE2s that becomes saturated in the liquid, allowing the liquid to be moved directly toward the coil. (See Cartomizer below)
- Cartomizer: The cartomizer (also referred to as a carto or plural cartos) is a component of a PV. This part of the PV contains both the atomizer and the cartridge in one component. This part connects to a battery connection. There are two basic types of cartomizers. There is the standard cartomizer which contains filler and there is the CE2 (cartomizer edition 2) which contains a reservoir instead of filler. There are also two common CE2 mods that are known as Clearomizers and Fl眉xomizers. Both replace the outer steel tube of the CE2 with a transparent plastic tube, but utilize the same internal design.
- Battery: The battery (also referred to as batt or plural batts) is a component of a PV. This part stores energy and releases the energy when the battery is activated, albeit manually or automatically. These include, but are not limited to, proprietary batteries (such as an e-cig battery or eGo battery), Lithium ion discrete batteries (also called Li-ion batteries or Li-ions), and Lithium Iron Phosphate discrete batteries (most commonly referred to as LiFePO batteries). All of these batteries require respect to keep without danger.
- Filler: The filler (also referred to as fill or batting) is the polyester and/or cotton that is inside of a cartridge and standard cartomizers. Filler is used to suspend the liquid in place, while allowing the liquid to be pulled toward the coil via suction.
- Tank: A tank is a reservoir that holds juice, as opposed to filler.
- Drip Tip: The drip tip is a component of a PV. This part is used to make a simple airflow pathway from the end of an atomizer, cartomizer, or some tanks (generally tank mods). (See Dripping below)
- Passthru: A passthru (also referred to as a PT or passthrough) is a PV that draws its energy from a USB cable. Ideal PTs are those that do not include a battery. Having no battery to worry about overheating, PTs are recommended especially for one's vehicle, as they can be plugged into an adapter that then plugs into the cigarette lighter port. Generally, a passthru is recommended also for one's desk or home office.
- Thread Type: The thread type (also referred to as threads or thread style) refers to the connection with the screw-like male and female bits. These pertain exclusively to the connection between the battery connection and the atomizer connection.
