With electronic cigarettes gaining wide popularity, many of you must have already switched to the smoking alternative. But there would be certain questions in your mind regarding the life span of the e-cigarettes. How long will a battery last? How long will an atomizer last? How long will the cartridge last? And how long will a bottle of e-juice last? If you are a beginner, you would surely want to know about these things before taking a drag.
To begin with, the answer for all these questions would largely be based on one important factor. That is your type and style of smoking. Tobacco smokers differ in many ways and there are many types. So are the e-cig smokers. Your tobacco smoking style and e-cig smoking can also vary widely.
The life span of the battery
The electronic cigarette battery is basically a lithium ion battery. The life span of the battery is generally from 6 months to 18 months. But again this would depend upon the usage. If you use it more and more, you would need to recharge it more. This would result in shorter life of the battery. If you are a chain smoker, it would be expected to receive approximately 2 hours out of each battery, per charge. For the average user i.e. the ones who take a drag as a smoke break, the charge would last for 4 to 8 hours. However, this would also depend upon the number of smoke breaks they take.
How long will an atomizer last?
The atomizers are the small metal pieces that have been inserted into the battery. If you insert the atomizer into the battery and remove the mouth piece, you can see a small metal coil. The coil is heated when the smoker takes a drag and it in turn heats up the e-juices and causes the smoking effect. Atomizers would last anywhere from a couple of months to a year based on the smoking style and usage. The e-cigarette beginner’s kit would usually contain two atomizers. So you can use them alternatively. Once you get the hang of it, you can easily foresee the life span on the atomizer and change it. It is always better to keep an extra on hand.
How to know the lifetime of e-juices and cartridge?
The lifespan of e-juices and cartridge usually go hand in hand. If you are using a 15 ml bottle of e-juice in which you take 2 to 3 drops of liquid to take 7 to 14 drags, this would last you around 300 cigarettes. Mostly a bottle of e-juice is accompanied by 5 empty cartridges i.e. mouthpieces with cartridges inside them. For hygienic purposes, it has been suggested that you should use one mouth piece only for a week in the maximum. Even though the mouth pieces last for long, due to continuous usage, the wick can become compacted and would not hold the liquid properly.
Keep in mind that a bottle of e-juice is approximately 300 cigarettes and if it lasts a week, you need to change the mouth piece everyday for sanitation purposes. If you are having some seasonal illness like flu or have shared a mouthpiece, then it’s better to change it. And make sure that the mouthpiece goes into the recycle bin.
