Metodi per il controllo del volume di fumo delle sigarette elettroniche

The smoke volume of e-cigarettes is influenced by multiple factors such as device power, intake design, e-liquid composition and suction method. Users can achieve precise control of the smoke volume through targeted adjustments. The following is an explanation from three dimensions: core parameters, operation skills, and environmental adaptation, to help users scientifically adjust the smoke volume.

First, the method for adjusting core parameters

Power is matched with voltage

High power mode: Suitable for large smoke equipment (such as mechanical rods, pressure regulating boxes), the power is recommended to be set between 40 and 80W (specifically refer to the resistance value of the atomization core). The higher the power, the faster the heating speed of the atomization core and the greater the amount of smoke. However, it is necessary to avoid exceeding the capacity of the atomization core (for example, using a 0.2Ω atomization core with a power exceeding 80W can easily lead to dry burning).

Low-power mode: For small smoke devices (such as Relx and Magic Flute), the power is usually fixed at 8-15W. If you need to reduce the smoke volume, you can replace the e-liquid with a lower VG (vegetable glycerin) content (such as below 50%VG), or choose a higher resistance atomization core (such as 1.2Ω or above).

Dynamic adjustment technique: The new atomization core should be gradually increased from low power to the recommended range (for example, for a 0.4Ω atomization core, start from 30W and increase by 5W each time to test the taste), to avoid core burning caused by sudden high temperature.

Optimization of the size of the air intake hole

Large air intake hole design: Suitable for users who pursue the ultimate smoke volume, it needs to be matched with a high-power and low-resistance atomization core (such as 0.15Ω). When the air intake holes are fully open, the air and smoke mix more thoroughly, making the smoke fluffier, but the taste concentration will be reduced.

Small air intake hole adjustment: By rotating the atomizer base or using the air intake adjustment ring (some devices come with it) to reduce the air intake volume, the smoke intensity can be enhanced, but it may increase the suction resistance. It is recommended to gradually close one-third of the air intake hole from the fully open state to test the effect.

Dual-side air intake balance: Some equipment adopts a dual-side air intake design. It is necessary to ensure that the opening degrees of the air intake holes on both sides are consistent to avoid excessive airflow on one side, which may cause smoke tilting or condensate backflow.

Selection of atomization core resistance value

Low-resistance atomizing core (< 0.5Ω) : It needs to be used in conjunction with high-power equipment. The smoke volume significantly increases, but the consumption rate of e-liquid accelerates. It is recommended to use high-VG e-liquid (above 70%) to reduce the risk of oil leakage.

High-resistance atomizing core (≥1.0Ω) : Suitable for low-smoke or taste-oriented devices, it produces less smoke but offers a more delicate taste. It is ideal for restoring the flavor of e-liquid and can operate stably at low power.

DIY atomizing core Advanced: If you wind the heating wire by yourself, you can further optimize the parameters by adjusting the coil diameter, number of turns and material (for example, the Klepton coil produces more smoke than the ordinary Conteles).

Second, optimization of operation skills and habits

Control of suction force and frequency

Short and powerful suction: The single suction time should be controlled within 2 seconds. Rapid suction can enhance the instantaneous explosive power of the smoke, but it is necessary to avoid continuous rapid suction causing the atomization core to overheat.

Long and slow suction: Suitable for users who pursue a dense smoke sensation, the suction time can be extended to 3-4 seconds, but the equipment power should be reduced (for example, from 60W to 50W) to prevent dry burning.

Intermittent use: After continuous suction of 5 to 8 puffs, pause for 1 minute to allow the atomizer core to cool down and re-soak the e-liquid, avoiding a burnt smell due to insufficient oil guiding.

Components and addition amounts of e-liquid

VG/PG ratio adjustment: High VG e-liquid (above 70%) has a larger smoke volume but poor fluidity, and it needs to be combined with large air intake holes and high-power equipment. High PG e-liquid (over 50%) has a more refreshing taste but produces less smoke, making it suitable for low-power devices.

Nicotine salt concentration: High concentrations of nicotine salts (such as 50mg/mL) can inhibit the perception of smoke volume. It is recommended that users who are concerned about smoke volume choose low concentrations (3mg/mL) or free alkali e-liquid.

Oil filling control: The amount of e-liquid in the oil storage tank should be maintained between 1/2 and 2/3. Too much is prone to oil leakage, while too little will result in insufficient oil guiding and core burning.

Equipment cleaning and maintenance

Regularly clean the condensate: The accumulation of condensate in the flue can impede the airflow. It is recommended to clean the cigarette nozzle and air intake holes with a cotton swab every week to prevent condensate from mixing into the smoke.

Replace the aged atomization core: The service life of the atomization core is usually 1-2 weeks (depending on the frequency of use). After aging, the carbonization and clumping of the oil guiding cotton will significantly reduce the amount of smoke, and it needs to be replaced in time.

Check the condition of the sealing ring: Wear or deformation of the sealing ring can cause air leakage, which in turn affects the amount of smoke. You can gently press the sealing ring with your fingernail to test its elasticity. If it ages, it should be replaced immediately.

Third, environmental and equipment adaptation strategies

Influence of temperature and humidity

Low-temperature environment (< 10℃) : As the viscosity of the e-liquid increases and the oil conduction slows down, the power of the equipment can be appropriately increased (such as by adding 5-10W) or the atomization core can be preheated (some equipment supports continuous pressing of the ignition button three times to activate preheating).

High-temperature environment (> 30℃) : The fluidity of the e-liquid increases. It is necessary to reduce the amount of oil added each time (to one-third of the oil storage tank) and avoid prolonged exposure of the equipment to the sun to prevent oil leakage.

Dry environment: The atomizer core is prone to dry burning. You can increase the suction interval or use moisture-retaining e-liquid (containing a small amount of deionized water).

The altitude is adapted to the air pressure

In high-altitude areas (> 2000 meters) : A decrease in air pressure will cause the smoke to expand. It is necessary to appropriately reduce the opening of the air intake holes (close by 1/4 of the air intake volume) to maintain the smoke density.

Low-pressure environments (such as inside the cabin) : Sudden changes in air pressure may cause oil leakage. It is recommended to empty the fuel tank or use leak-proof disposable smoke bombs before takeoff.

Equipment upgrade and accessory selection

Upgrade the atomizer: The smoke volume of the oil-storage RDA (drip atomizer) is usually greater than that of the finished atomizer, but it requires frequent manual addition of e-liquid. The RTA (Integrated oil storage and Drip atomizer) takes into account both convenience and smoke output.

Select the appropriate battery: High-power devices should be paired with 18650 batteries with a discharge current of ≥25A (such as SONY VTC6) to prevent unstable output power due to battery overload.

Install heat dissipation accessories: When used continuously at high power, heat dissipation fins or fan bases can be added to the equipment to prevent power attenuation due to overheating.

Quarto, problemi comuni e soluzioni

The amount of smoke suddenly decreased

Troubleshooting steps:

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

Clean the air intake hole and flue (blocked by condensate or foreign objects).

Test the resistance value of the atomization core (whether the resistance increase is caused by carbon deposits).

Emergency response: Replace the atomization core with a new one and refill it with oil. If the problem persists, it might be a malfunction of the equipment’s mainboard and you need to contact after-sales service.

The amount of smoke is unstable (fluctuating).

Possible reasons:

The battery power is insufficient (voltage drop causes power fluctuation).

The atomization core has poor contact with the base (the electrode contacts need to be reinstalled or cleaned).

The e-liquid has poor fluidity (high VG e-liquid thickens at low temperatures).

Solution suggestions: Replace the fully charged battery, clean the device interfaces, or place the device in a warm environment to preheat the e-liquid.

The risks of pursuing the ultimate amount of smoke

Health Warning: Excessive pursuit of thick smoke may lead to excessive nicotine intake (especially when using high-concentration e-liquids), causing discomfort such as dizziness and palpitations.

Equipment wear and tear: The combination of high power and low resistance will accelerate the aging of the atomization core. It is recommended to replace the atomization core every 1-2 days and regularly check the battery status (to avoid bulging or leakage).

Fifth, Safety and Compliance Tips

Comply with local regulations: In some regions (such as India and Singapore), the sale and use of e-cigarettes are prohibited. It is necessary to confirm the local policies in advance.

Child protection: E-liquid may contain nicotine and should be stored 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.

Environmental protection treatment: Waste atomizing cores and batteries should be sorted and recycled (atomizing cores belong to electronic waste, and lithium batteries belong to hazardous waste) to avoid random discarding and polluting the environment.

Summary

The control of e-cigarette smoke volume needs to be comprehensively adjusted in combination with equipment parameters, operation habits and environmental conditions. The core principle is: high power + large air intake + low resistance = large smoke, low power + small air intake + high resistance = small smoke. Users can flexibly adjust according to their needs, but they should be careful to avoid overheating, oil leakage or dry burning of the equipment. If there are persistent abnormalities (such as a sudden decrease in smoke volume or a distinct burnt smell), it is recommended to first check the condition of the atomization core. If necessary, contact professional after-sales service to avoid disassembling it by yourself and causing damage.
