Basic Structure of Vape from Vape Factory's blog

A vape is made up of a combination of several parts. By customizing each part, the function of the vape can be adjusted. The ability to create an original vape is one of the reasons why vapes are so popular among users. From here, we will explain the names of the parts and the roles they play.

First of all, the mod, or battery, is the engine of the vape, and plays a particularly important role among all the parts.

Shapes and characteristics of mods

There are various types of vape mods. First, the "box type" is a mod that contains an electronic control board. The output and smoke can be adjusted according to the atomizer to be installed. It also has an LCD panel that allows you to quickly check various data. It is very convenient because you can always see the output, battery level, coil resistance, etc.

The next type is called "stick, PEN, or dispoable vape type. The stick type is the most recommended type, and Liberty Flights' DOT is also a stick type. The stick type can be used while refilling with liquid. You can choose from the liquid type for full flavor variation or the cartridge type for easy replacement. In addition, the POD type is easy to replace the entire body when you have finished smoking. In addition, the "pen type" is more convenient to carry than the box type because of its reasonable size. It is also more satisfying to smoke than the stick type. The all-in-one (AIO) type, which integrates an atomizer and battery, is also gaining popularity.

And the "POD type" combines the tank, coil, cotton, and drip tip, called a POD, which corresponds to an atomizer, into a single unit. The POD type eliminates the need to change coils, and replacing the POD is not complicated. This type has become mainstream in recent years and is recommended for beginners and enthusiasts alike.

Technical Mod and Mechanical Mod

Mods can also be classified into "technical mods" and "mechanical mods. First, technical mods have a beginner-friendly structure. It has an electronic control function and automatically calculates the resistance value. As a result, the ideal current flows, so it can be used without in-depth knowledge. Technical mods with LCDs are visually convenient.

On the other hand, mechanical mods are for intermediate to advanced users who are somewhat familiar with vaping. Since they do not have a control board, they do not have electronic control functions. Since the only function is to energize the device, it is important to learn Ohm's law when using a mechanical mod. Furthermore, voltage and power cannot be controlled in detail. When you start vaping, you should start with a technical mod.

When it comes time to enjoy vaping, the "atomizer" is the most important part that directly affects the comfort of using a vape device. The atomizer is the part that produces vapor. The atomizer controls the amount of vapor produced. The atomizer also determines whether or not the original flavor of the liquid can be extracted. There are many different types of atomizers, so the criteria for choosing the right one will depend on how you smoke. Choose carefully, keeping in mind your own preferences. The following is a detailed description of atomizers.

Homemade coils and ready-made coils

The coil is an important part of the heating process in a vape. When an electric current flows through the coil, heat is transferred to the liquid soaked in the wick. The liquid then vaporizes and turns into vapor with flavor and aroma. The lower the resistance, the more current flows through the coil. The higher the current, the more liquid vaporizes, the more vapor is produced, and the lighter the flavor will be. In other words, the taste of the vape depends on how well the coil current can be regulated. There are two types of coils: ready-made units with pre-installed wicks, and buildable coils that you can wind yourself, such as RDAs and RTAs. The build type is suitable for intermediate to advanced vapers, while beginners who are not yet familiar with vaping are advised to choose ready-made coil units.

Atomizer

The part of the vape that stores liquid is called the "atomizer. The tanks that are easy to use, even for beginners, are made of clear "Pyrex glass," which not only allows you to immediately see the amount of liquid remaining, but also allows you to fill it with various types of liquid. It is also highly safe because it does not break easily and does not tarnish. In addition, there are various types of atomizers, including those that are designed to be filled with liquid from the bottom and those that are designed to be filled with liquid from the top of the atomizer. The liquid can be injected even when the battery is connected to the atomizer, making it easy to handle. If you are a beginner, give preference to a type that allows liquid injection from the top.

Smoke volume can be adjusted by airflow

The vape's smoking comfort depends on the amount of smoke it produces. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to "airflow". Airflow is the part that creates airflow. It is indispensable for adjusting preferences, from those who want to inhale a lot to those who want to suppress smoke. However, it is a disadvantage that it can easily cause leakage problems. Therefore, beginners should look for a "top airflow" vape. This is because the airflow at the top is less likely to leak and allows for a more relaxed smoking experience.

The part of the vape that acts as the mouthpiece is called the "drip tip. Drip tips come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and the one you choose will affect how comfortable it is to smoke. For example, a short drip tip will directly convey the vapor temperature. On the other hand, a long one will feel somewhat low-pitched. In addition, the width of the inner diameter is also important. If it is narrow, the flavor will be richer, and if it is thick, it will seem thinner. Drip tips are described by standards such as "510" and "810". When choosing a drip tip, check the standard of your atomizer and then find the right type. By changing the drip tip, you can change the flavor of your liquid without spending a lot of money, and you will have more fun if you use several different drip tips instead of just one.
