Before you purchase an electronic vapor cigarette, you should spend some time researching which type you want. Two common types are look-alikes and refillables. The two are quite different, and each type has its own pros and cons for you to consider.
Look-alike vs. Refillable
Look-alike e-cigarettes are very small, disposable, and can be stored easily. Refillable cigarettes, on the other hand, are not as small and can't be stored with the same amount of ease. Look-alike devices are simple to use, while refillable versions have many components that must be replaced or charged. The atomizer, a part of refillable e-cigarettes that heats up the nicotine liquid, needs to be replaced after a few months, too. Refillable e-cigarettes are generally considered the better investment in the long run, because they last longer and have better vapor production.
E-Cigarettes and Your Health
Electronic vapor cigarettes tend to be healthier than traditional tobacco products because the nicotine vapor doesn't contain the harmful ingredients found in traditional cigarette smoke. However, because electronic cigarettes contain nicotine, they are still addictive. Also, the devices are relatively new, so no long-term studies have been done on them to identify potential health risks. With that being said, it's important to choose a reputable e-cigarette brand since the market for such devices isn't closely regulated.
