E-Cig Glossary

A

Adapter

–

Used to allow a specific style of atomizer or cartomizer to fit onto

a

different

style

of

battery.

Many

users

prefer

the

vapor

production

of

one

style

of atty but prefer the battery life of another style battery. This allows them

to have access to both simultaneously.

Analog

or

Analogue

–

Slang term for a traditional cigarette.

Atomizer

(Abbreviated

as

Atty

) -

The

part

of

an

e-cigarette

that

actually

heats

the juice to the point of vaporization.

Atty

–

Abbreviation for Atomizer.

Automatic

–

A style of electronic cigarette battery that does not have a button

to

activate

the

heating

element.

Rather,

when

the

user

draws

on

the

device

a

switch

is activated and the atomizer is activated. This style of e-cig is most like

smoking a traditional cigarette.

B

Batt

–

Abbreviation for Battery.

Battery

(Abbreviated

as

Batt

)

–

The

battery

piece

of

an

electronic

cigarette

is

the part that provides power to the heating element. This allows the heating

element to heat the Juice and produce vapor.

Bridge

–

A

small

U-shaped

covering

inside

of

the

atomizer.

This

is

used

to

absorb

liquid and help wick it towards the heating element.

C

Cartridge

(Abbreviated as

Cart

)

–

A plastic tube-like piece that is usually

stuffed with some sort of absorbent filler material that holds the juice.

Cart

–

Abbreviation for Cartridge.

Carto

–

Abbreviation for Cartomizer.

Cartomizer

(Abbreviated as

Carto

)

–

A cartridge and atomizer in a single unit.

These generally are disposable, inexpensive and hold more juice than a regular

cartridge/atomizer combination.

Charger

–

A battery charger. This is used to recharge your e-cig battery once

it has been depleted.

D

Drip Tip

–

An accessory that can be used in conjunction with an atomizer or

cartomizer. These have a larger opening than the original equipment and allows

a user to drip Juice directly onto the atomizer. Some people use a drip tip on

their Cartomizers simply for looks and/or comfort.

Dripping

–

A

method

of

adding

juice

to

the

atomizer.

A

user

will

drip

a

few

drop

directly

onto

the

bridge

before

vaping.

Many

users

feel

this

method

produces

the

best

vapor

production

and

taste,

since

there

is

no

filler

material

involved

with

the process.

FDA

- Abbreviation for the (United States) Food and Drug Administration.

Filler

Material

(Abbreviated

as

Filler

) -

Material

placed

inside

of

a

Cartridge

that

is absorbent.

It

is

used

to

help

keep

the

juice

inside

of

the

cartridge

and

deliver it to the atomizer at an optimal pace (so as to not flood the device).

Most cartridges come with PolyFill being used as the Filler Material, but there

are

many

modifications

available

that

may

help

enhance

your

e-cig

experience

(such

as the Pyramid Tea Bag mod or Blue Foam mod

–

check our

Modifications

section

for more information).

Flooding

–

Something

that

can

occur

when

too

much

Juice

is

applied

to

the

atomizer.

Since atomizers require some air to properly vaporize Liquid, adding too much

Juice to an atomizer will cause a decrease in Vapor Production and flavor.

Food

and

Drug

Administration

(Abbreviated

as

FDA

)

–

An

administrative

branch

of

the United States government that oversees rules and regulations pertaining to

the safety of food and drug products sold in the USA. There is currently a very

controversial

distribution

of

electronic cigarettes.

K

L

Leaking

–

This

can

happen

when

too

much

Juice

is

added

to

an

atomizer

or

cartomizer.

Juice can leak out of the bottom of the heating element and onto the battery,

which

in

some

cases

can

cause

damage

to

the

device

(as

is

the

case

with

Automatic

Batteries).

LED

- Abbreviation for Light Emitting Diode.

Light

Emitting

Diode

(Abbreviated

as

LED

)

–

A

diode

that

converts

applied

voltage

to light. These are commonly used in electronic cigarette devices to indicate

that the device is actively being used.

Liquid

–

Also referred to as E-Liquid, E-Juice, Smoke Juice, or Juice. This is

the liquid that is vaporized when using an electronic cigarette.

Low Resistance

(Abbreviated

as

LR

)

–

An

atomizer

or

cartomizer

with a

lower

Ohm

rating than the standard equipment. This generally causes the heating element

to get hotter faster and produces vapor more quickly. In many cases it produces

more vapor than an atty or carto that has a standard resistance rating.
