Anatomy of e-cigarette

The drip-tip is the mouthpiece through which you will inhale the vapor produced by the electronic cigarette. It can have different shapes and come in several types of materials.

Replaceable part of the clearomizer.

The resistor is the part that will heat the e-liquid and that will transform it into vapor. It is a consumable to change regularly.

The tank or reservoir is the element in which we pour the eliquid. It can have different shapes and capacities.

The base is the element on which the clearomizer is screwed. It can also be magnetized.

The switch is the button on which you press continuously to inhale the vapor. It can also be used to turn on and off the electronic cigarette by pressing it several times.

The battery will allow to heat the resistance thanks to an electric current. It includes the button Switch and can be presented under a multitude of aspects, materials or colors.

Penser à sa santé bien sûr, mais aussi à son porte monnaie !

J’ai arrêté de fumer le 10 novembre 2020. Les raisons qui ont motivé cette décision sont les difficultés que j’avais à respirer convenablement, l’odeur qui subsiste aussi sur nous et nos vêtements, le coût qui faisait exploser mon budget et le fait que mes proches étaient directement ou indirectement touchés par le tabac.

Avant de passer à la cigarette électronique, j’ai d’abord essayé les patchs, puis je suis tombé sur Le Vapoteur Discount en cherchant un kit et des eliquides pour m’équiper aux meilleurs prix. J’ai trouvé le site avec ses graphismes rétrofuturistes géniaux, ça changeait des sites classiques. La navigation est simple, cela m’a beaucoup plu également. Je suis resté fidèle au Vapoteur Discount car j’y trouve les liquides beaucoup moins chers que dans les bureaux de tabac ou les boutiques, où ces derniers peuvent être multipliés par deux. La livraison est rapide, les prix corrects et le SAV super-réactif. À plusieurs reprises, j’ai modifié les liquides dans mes commandes et ceci a été fait sans problème.

Je ne fume plus depuis le 31/12/2022, j’ai fait ce choix pour ma santé, l’odeur qui persistait sur moi et que je ne supportais plus et pour le prix du paquet de cigarette qui a nettement augmenté en quelques années. J’ai commencé mon sevrage tabagique directement par la cigarette électronique et donc chez Le Vapoteur Discount. Les prix y sont très abordables et un grand choix de produits est présent.

C’est le premier site sur lequel j’ai commandé et le seul. Les livraisons ont toujours été faites dans les temps et ils ont un SAV de qualité.

Mon arrêt du tabac a débuté le 19 mars 2020. Je ne supportais plus l’odeur et le fait de devoir être dans un espace ouvert pour pouvoir fumer sans gêner qui que ce soit. J’ai commencé mon expérience chez Le Vapoteur Discount car les produits sont très bons et je bénéficie de remises sur quantité intéressantes. Le programme de fidélité est également un énorme bonus. Le service client est au top et mon produit est toujours disponible.

Vape Glossary

Acrolein

Acrolein is a chemical substance found in the vapour produced by your electronic cigarette.

Adapter

Various adapters exist. There are mains/USB adapters that allow you to charge your electronic cigarette with ease using a plug socket and a USB cable. There are also connection adapters, which allow you to assemble various parts of your electronic cigarette.

Additive

When making your own e-liquids, it is possible to add additives to improve the flavour according to your preferences (a cooling additive, for example).

Aiduce

Founded in 2012, Aiduce is a French association representing vapers in France.

Airflow

Airflow refers to the flow of air entering your electronic cigarette. The more open your airflow, the airier your draw; conversely, the more closed it is, the tighter your draw will be.

All day

All Day is simply the English translation of "all day long" — this term is used to describe an e-liquid that you enjoy vaping all day, every day.

Base

A base is an e-liquid without nicotine or flavourings (neutral base, NOW(), NOW()); it is made from PG/VG (Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerine), which will give your e-liquid the consistency of your choice. It is used when creating your DIY e-liquids.

Battery

The battery is an electrical device paired with a clearomiser or a cartridge; it heats the coil. Depending on the type of battery, different settings are available.

Battery cell

A battery cell is a rechargeable battery that powers your electronic cigarette. There are various battery cells from different brands, as well as different sizes to best suit your device.

BBD

BBD = Best Before Date. This is an indicative date; once passed, it means the product loses some of its qualities but is not harmful to health.

BBE

BBE = Best Before End date. After this date, consumption of the product is not recommended.

BBE

BBE = Best Before End. From this date, your e-liquid will decrease in quality but will still be safe to use.

DTL

DTL = Direct To Lung, this refers to a type of inhalation: direct. (Suitable for an open draw) It is the opposite of MTL inhalation.

Dual Coil

The dual coil is also part of the materials intended for rebuildable setups; it refers to a build comprising two coils, which produces a much more intense heat and vapour output.

Electronic cigarette

An electronic cigarette is a device used for smoking cessation. It generally consists of a battery and a cartridge or clearomiser.

Gurgling

The term "Gurgling" describes a noise strongly resembling bubbles that can occur during inhalation.

High End

High End materials are superior quality materials that result in a much higher price than standard materials.

Hit

The hit refers to the throat sensation during inhalation. A pronounced hit is better suited to beginner vapers looking to quit smoking, as it provides the sought-after tingling sensation in the throat.

Hot Spot

This term means that the coil of a rebuildable atomiser is no longer heating normally.

Hybrid

Hybrid refers to a Mod device that has a clearomiser or atomiser integrated into the mod.

Indirect inhalation
