Den korrekte måde at ryge en e-cigaret på

The correct way to inhale e-cigarettes directly affects the user experience, the taste of the smoke and the lifespan of the device. Incorrect operation may lead to oil leakage, burning of the core or deterioration of the taste. The following elaborates on the core points such as suction action, frequency control, and equipment adaptation to help users master the scientific usage method.

First, the basic suction action is standardized

Inhale naturally and avoid violent suction

E-cigarettes heat the atomizing core with battery power, converting e-liquid into aerosol (smoke), without the need to suck hard like traditional cigarettes.

The correct approach is to inhale gently and slowly, feeling the amount of smoke gradually increase. Avoid “taking a deep breath” or “taking consecutive quick breaths”.

Analogy: Just like drinking milk tea through a straw, you can inhale naturally. Excessive force can cause the liquid to flow back or you to inhale the condensate.

Control the duration of each suction

Prolonged inhalation can cause the atomizer core to overheat, resulting in the e-liquid not being fully atomized and directly entering the mouth, or accelerating the formation of condensate.

Suggested duration: Each suction should be controlled within 2 to 3 seconds, with an interval of at least 3 to 5 seconds between two suctions, allowing the atomization core to cool down.

Risk Warning: Continuous suction for more than 5 seconds may trigger the device’s overheat protection (such as flashing a red light), and even damage the atomization core.

Adjust the Angle of the suction nozzle

Vertical or slightly tilted equipment (with the pipe tip facing upwards) can reduce the risk of condensate backflow and prevent the inhalation of unatomized e-liquid.

Incorrect posture: Placing the device upside down or horizontally can cause condensate to accumulate on the mouthpiece and directly enter the mouth when inhaling.

Second, the suction frequency should be compatible with the equipment

Adjust the frequency according to the type of equipment

Small smoke/disposable equipment: The capacity of the e-liquid is small and the power of the atomization core is low. It is recommended to smoke in small amounts frequently to avoid continuous use for a long time.

Large smoke equipment: It needs to be used in conjunction with high-power batteries and atomizers, but the duration of each suction still needs to be controlled (within 2 seconds) to prevent dry burning.

Match the e-liquid with the atomizing core

High VG e-liquid (over 70%) : It needs to be paired with a large air intake hole atomizing core. The suction force can be slightly greater, but it is necessary to pay attention to whether the equipment supports it (some small e-liquids are not compatible).

High PG e-liquid (over 50%) : It has strong fluidity and is prone to oil leakage. It is recommended to apply gentler force when drawing and reduce the tilt Angle of the equipment.

The “running-in period” of the new atomization core

The newly installed atomizing core needs to be filled with e-liquid first and left to stand for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the oil-guiding cotton to fully soak. When inhaling for the first time, the first 2 to 3 puffs can be gently sucked to test the flavor to avoid the core burning.

Third, Common Problems and Responses

Inhale condensate or e-liquid

Reasons: Excessive suction force, inverted equipment, and incomplete wetting of the atomization core.

Solution:

Adjust the suction force and keep the equipment upright.

Before replacing the atomization core, gently wipe the condensate on the inner wall of the flue with a paper towel.

The new atomization core needs to stand still for a sufficient period of time.

The amount of smoke suddenly decreased

Inspection steps:

Confirm whether the remaining amount of e-liquid is sufficient (the oil guiding efficiency decreases when it is less than 1/3).

Check if the air intake hole is blocked (clean it with a cotton swab).

Determine whether the atomization core is aged (the service life is usually 1-2 weeks, depending on the frequency of use).

The taste becomes milder or has a burnt flavor

Possible reasons:

Carbon deposits in the atomization core (needs to be replaced).

Oxidation of e-liquid (not used up within 3 months after opening).

The power of the equipment does not match the atomization core (for example, high-power equipment is paired with a low-resistance atomization core, resulting in overheating).

Fourth, advanced usage skills

Preheated atomization core

Some devices support a “preheating function” (such as pressing the ignition button three times in a row), which can heat the atomization core in advance and enhance the intensity of the first puff of smoke.

Control the balance between the amount of smoke and the taste

Large amount of smoke: It needs to be combined with a high-power, large-air intake hole atomizing core, but it may sacrifice some of the smoothness of the taste.

Delicate taste: Low-power, small-pore atomizing cores are selected, which are suitable for restoring the flavor of e-liquid, but the amount of smoke is relatively small.

Adapt to different environments

Low-temperature environment: The viscosity of the e-liquid increases, and the oil conduction slows down. The power of the equipment can be appropriately increased or preheated in advance.

High-temperature environment: The fluidity of e-liquid increases, so the amount of oil added each time should be reduced to avoid oil leakage.

Fifth, safety and health tips

Avoid dry burning

Continuing to smoke after the e-liquid is exhausted will cause the atomizer core to burn dry, release harmful substances (such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde), and damage the equipment.

Child and pet protection

E-liquid may contain nicotine and should be kept out of the reach of children. The high-temperature part of the equipment may burn the skin. Let it cool down after use before storing.

Clean the equipment regularly

Clean the flue, air intake holes and electrode contacts with cotton swabs every week to prevent scale accumulation from affecting performance.

Summary

The correct inhalation of e-cigarettes should follow the principle of “light, slow and short” : inhale gently, control slowly and inhale for a short time. Adjusting the operation mode in combination with the type of equipment, the characteristics of e-liquid and environmental conditions can not only enhance the experience but also extend the service life of the equipment. If there are persistent abnormalities (such as oil leakage or core sticking), it is recommended to check the condition of the atomization core or contact after-sales service to avoid disassembling it by yourself and causing damage.
