The electronic cigarette gadget is wildly popular with users. The products were first introduced in 2003 and offer an alternative smoking experience to those addicted to tobacco. Smokers like the ability to have their nicotine fix without the expense and health risks associated with tobacco.

You can smoke the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes for about $2 when using e-cigs. That's quite a bit better than the five to ten dollar cost of a pack of tobacco cigarettes. The electronic cigarette is a nicotine delivery system providing smokers with the"fix" they want without the necessity of inhaling toxic chemicals of tobacco products. You can choose the best e-cigarette gadget available and still spend less than you will for tobacco products.

Technological advances made the development of electronic cigarettes possible. The e-cigarette gadget is composed of an atomizer and a battery component. Screwed together the two portions look like a ball point pen or a cigarette depending on the brand you choose. Other models provide alternative smoking experiences for pipes, cigars and there is even a hookah electronic model available.

The mouthpiece is the atomizer and may be round or oval shaped on one end. Inside is a cup filled with absorbent material that holds an e-liquid solution that provides flavor and nicotine in a base of propylene glycol or glycerin. You can choose the taste of regular tobacco or menthol tobacco or can pick from a variety of other flavors. For models with replaceable cartridges you can change flavors any time you want.

E-liquid is used to refill the cup in the mouthpiece by dripping the liquid from a small bottle. The bottle of solution is only two inches high yet one bottle is roughly equivalent to the nicotine in five cartons of tobacco cigarettes.

The battery is the second component of the electronic cigarette gadget. It is the lower section of the product and has an LED light that glows at the tip when the e-cig is in use. Although the original versions consistently used red LED lights to simulate a burning cigarette, consumers now can choose from almost any color they like.

Starter kits for this gadget for smokers include a battery charger and usually are sold with two battery sections. That allows the smoker to use one battery while the other is being charged. Manual designs are not the most popular as they require the smoker to press a small button to activate the heating element to provide vapor. The best electronic gadgets are automatic and operate when the smoker draws air through the mouthpiece.

The puff (draw) on the atomizer activates a minuscule heating element that vaporizes liquid in the mouthpiece. The vapor is inhaled and nicotine ingested with the vapor. In the best e-cigarettes the process is instantaneous allowing the user to inhale and smoke as if he were using tobacco.

The cartridge version is the best electronic cigarette. With a short, disposable mouthpiece this design requires no maintenance, no cleaning and no e-liquids. Replacing an old cartridge with a new one is like opening a pack of cigarettes. The replaceable cartridge e-cigs are without a doubt the easiest to use.
