Clearomizer : how to choose your vape ?

Cold vapor or hot vapor? Classic Clearomizer or BCC ? Tight draw or air? The preferences vary from one vapoteur to another. Just as some prefer tobacco flavors, others prefer the original or fruity ... The steam can be enjoyed in different ways. To control your vape, it's all about technique and equipment. Read our tips carefully and soon temperature and vapor density will have no secrets for you.

Hot steam or cold steam for my e-cigarette?

Vapoteurs know, the sensations are not the same whether the steam is hot or warm. What can vary is the taste of e-liquid and even its hit. The cold steam is sometimes criticized because it can irritate the throat, but at the same time, it allows you to better feel the hit and therefore lower the nicotine level of your e-liquid. You will have understood, the choice of temperature is a matter of taste. It is also this same criterion that intervenes in the restitution of flavors. The cold steam is appreciated for sweet and fruity flavors that will better reveal their flavor, the hot steam for tobacco flavors. There may be exceptions, however, since not all e-liquids have the same composition. It is up to you to see what temperature best suits your favorite e-liquid ...

How do I know if my clearomizer produces a cold or hot vapor?

To find out, simply observe the resistance of your clearomizer. If it is located in the lower part of the tank (near the battery), the vapor will be colder or warmer. It will have time to cool before reaching the drip-tip and be inhaled. This type of clearomizer is called BCC (Bottom Changeable Coil) or BDC (Bottom Dual Coil) for those who have a double resistance. In addition to a cooler vapor, this system also has the advantage of improving the supply of e-liquid.

On the standard clearomizers (type Stardust CE4, CE5, Vivi Nova, Megatwix ...), the resistance is located in the center or top of the tank, on the side drip-tip. The wicks are no longer soaked when the level of e-liquid is lower. Consequence: in "dry" the taste of e-liquid is modified and the steam is less thick. Vapers sometimes find the solution by turning their electronic cigarettebut the easiest way to solve this problem is to choose a BCC clearomizer like the H2 clearomizer, Mini Protank, eVod or iClear 30. It will also be easier to fill out. Its resistance placed at the bottom allows to pour the e-liquid from below, which avoids emptying the tank of the clearomizer to renew its wick. The drip-tip is also important for the temperature of the steam: when it is long or metal, it also tends to cool the steam.

The value of the resistance is also interesting to control the temperature of the steam. It is expressed in ohms. The lower it is (or near zero), the more it will heat your e-liquid. The resistance must also be adapted to the voltage of your e-cigarette battery. The steam will be more abundant if the voltage is high and the resistance low. Be careful not to abuse: a voltage too high may damage your clearomizer. It is often advisable to use a voltage of 3.3 to 4.2 V with a resistance of 1.8 ohms, a voltage of 3.7 to 4.8 V with a resistance of 2.4 ohms or a voltage of 4.5 to 6 V with a resistance of 2.8 ohms.

Namely: some clearomizers have a dual resistance, these are the clearomizers Bottom Dual Coil. They produce 2 times more steam and 2 times more hit. You can test them with the clearomizer Aspire Nautilus or the model iClear 30 from Innokin.

Weak or abundant steam? How to have more steam with my e-cigarette ?

After setting the temperature of your vape, you will also be tempted to control its volume (or vice versa). It is the airflow that will determine the amount of vapor produced by your electronic cigarette. A tight draw will be perfect for a smoker who is new to vape. It will require a frank aspiration and the sensations will be closer to a real cigarette. This is for example the case on the models Stardust, CE4, CE5, iClear 16 or Vivi Nova. Now, more and more models are inspired by rebuildable and offer a system Air Flow, which allows you to control the air supply. This allows you to choose your airflow according to your preferences. The greater the air intake, the lower the resistance to suction and the more abundant the vapor. With this Air Flow system, the draught sensations can be adapted to your tastes or your desires of the moment. You can vary them throughout the day. Once you've tried it, it will be hard to do without. You will find it for example on theeMode from Joyetech or the clearomizer Nautilus Aspire. The draw capacity will also influence the temperature of the steam. You can shape your vape to your taste.

To get a good flow of steam, you can focus on the material or on the e-liquid. You will need to check the composition of the e-liquid and especially its vegetable glycerin content. The higher it is, the more steam you will get. Usually, it is balanced with a PG-VG base of about 70% - 30% but you can choose an e-liquid with a higher content of vegetable glycerine. You should only know that this kind of e-liquid clogs more quickly clearomizers.
