The working principle of heat-not-burn electronic cigarettes

The heated non-burning e-cigarette is a new type of tobacco product that combines a smoking device and a cartridge. Its working principle mainly involves the coordination between the heating equipment and the cartridge. The following is a detailed introduction:

First, basic principles

Heating non-burning e-cigarettes transfer heat to tobacco through heating devices, allowing the effective components in tobacco (such as nicotine, flavorings, etc.) to be released at a lower temperature. In this process, heat conduction and heat convection are the main ways of heat transfer. The heating element usually comes into direct contact with the tobacco, transferring heat to the tobacco through heat conduction and also to the air around the tobacco through heat convection. When tobacco is heated to a certain temperature (usually between 200°C and 350°C), the volatile components in it will change from liquid or solid to gas. This process is called vaporization or volatilization. The vaporized components will condense in the middle of the air, thereby forming aerosols, which are mixtures of tiny droplets and steam for users to inhale.

Second, equipment composition and function

The heating non-burning e-cigarette consists of two parts: the heating device and the heating non-burning cartridge.

Heating range hood: It is composed of four parts: power supply, temperature control system, heating system and cleaning mechanism. Heating tobacco appliances use rechargeable batteries as their power source, and the batteries determine the continuous suction range of the tobacco appliances. The temperature control system is responsible for precisely controlling the heating temperature to ensure that tobacco releases its active ingredients at the optimal temperature. The heating system transfers heat to the tobacco through heating elements. The cleaning mechanism is used to remove residues in the heating chamber, maintaining the cleanliness and performance of the equipment.

Heated non-burning smoke cartridge: It is composed of three parts: the smoke generation section, the cooling section and the filter tip section. The smoking section is an important component, which contains tobacco materials that have undergone special treatment. After being heated in the heating chamber, the smoke emission section emits smoke similar to that of traditional smoke. The cooling section is used to lower the temperature of the flue gas, making it more comfortable for users to draw. The filter tip section further filters impurities and harmful substances in the flue gas, enhancing the safety of suction.

Third, technical features and advantages

The technical features of heat-not-burn electronic cigarettes are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Low-temperature heating: Compared with traditional cigarettes, the heating temperature of non-burning electronic cigarettes is much lower than the burning temperature, thereby significantly reducing the generation of harmful substances.

The taste is close to that of real cigarettes: As heat-not-burn e-cigarettes use genuine tobacco materials, their taste is closer to that of traditional cigarettes and is more acceptable to smokers.

Harm reduction effect: The heated non-burning electronic cigarette has no open flame, no ash, and extremely low tar content during use, thus having a significant harm reduction effect.

Fourth, Precautions for use

When using heated non-burning e-cigarettes, the following points should be noted:

When purchasing heated non-combustible electronic cigarettes, choose reputable brands and channels to ensure the quality and safety of the products.

Follow the instructions for use: Use the heated non-burning e-cigarette correctly in accordance with the requirements of the product manual to avoid equipment damage or safety accidents caused by improper operation.

Pay attention to personal hygiene: Regularly clean the heating chamber and the residue of the smoke cartridges to keep the equipment clean and hygienic.
