E-Cigs (or vapes) consist of a battery, typically lithium-ion, that connects to a single or dual heating coil into the reservoir of vape liquid. I’m going to use the specs for a vape that I’m currently using, called the Elf Bar BC5000. It consists of a 650mAh (nominal voltage is 3.7 V) rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a dual coil, and a cotton reservoir filled with 13ml of juice (nicotine salts). As a user hits or pulls air from the mouthpiece, the airflow activates a sensor switch to the battery and sends current through the circuit to the atomizer which houses a coil(s). The coils offer resistance. The only resistance information I could find for Elf Bar mesh coils is around 1.2 ????. The lower the resistance, the more heat and vapor are produced, and the stronger the hit. The higher the resistance, the less vapor and heat are produced and smoother the hit. The coil(s) heats the “wick” which is typically cotton inside of a reservoir filled with juice creating vapor which expels through the mouthpiece. Using Ohm’s Law and assuming the resistance is 1.2 ????, we can determine the current for this disposable vape is 3.7V/1.2 ????=3.08333333A.
One of the primary electrical dangers associated with E-Cigs or vapes are the batteries. The type of batteries used in these devices has been unregulated. Lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous if they become damaged or over-heated. The chemical within the battery reacts to oxygen and can combust. If this happens while in use or carried by and individual, serious injury can occur.
It is important to know the requirements for each specific device. Due to the sensitive nature of lithium-ion batteries, it is important to handle them with care. Use the correct charger that comes with the device or charger specified. Be sure to charge away from flammable materials and do not leave the device charging overnight or for extended periods of time.

Identify parts of the E-Cig that constitute voltage, current, and resistance. Discuss the role each plays in the E-Cig and typical values for each including units.
Introduction
The E-Cig has many parts, but the most important ones are voltage and current. In this article we’ll discuss what those terms mean and how they relate to the E-Cig.
The E-Cig has a resistance in the atomizer, which heats up and vaporizes the liquid.
The E-Cig has a resistance in the atomizer, which heats up and vaporizes the liquid. The resistance of this part is measured in Ohms (Ω). The higher this number is, the less current flows through it; therefore, you will be able to get more vapor from your device with less power consumption.
The lower your device’s resistance is, however, then more current will flow through it and therefore you’ll be able to get even more vapor out of your device with less power consumption!
A E-Cig battery supplies energy to the heating element of the E-Cig.
A E-Cig battery supplies energy to the heating element of the E-Cig. This heating element is what powers your atomizer and heats up your e-liquid, so it’s important that you have a good battery.
The battery is your heart in an E-Cig, because it supplies power to everything else on board! When you take a puff, your atomizer receives power through its connection with your voltage regulator (which we’ll discuss shortly), which then sends current down through wires into this little metal rectangle on top of your vape pen called “atomizer.” The atomizer heats up all those chemicals inside until they turn into vapor—and voila! You’re vaping again!
The main job of any electronic device such as yours out there today is processing information as quickly as possible without getting too hot or breaking down under pressure; this means having high quality components like ones made with lithium ion batteries (LiIon) instead than old fashioned alkaline ones like AA batteries would cause problems down road due
The voltage regulator converts or recreates the changing voltage from current draw and into a steady 3.7 volts, ensuring that a consistent amount of power is fed to the atomizer.

The resistance of an electrical circuit is measured in ohms (Ω). Resistance is often used as an indicator of how hard it will be for electrons to flow through a circuit; higher resistance means more difficulty for electrons to pass through and vice versa.
The resistance of a E-Cig is measured in Ohms (Ω).
The resistance of a E-Cig is measured in Ohms (Ω). The resistance of the atomizer is the most important component of an E-Cig because it determines how much vapor you’ll get from your vaporizer. The material used to make it also plays a role in determining its resistance, but this can vary depending on what type of atomizer you’re using.
If a battery has higher mAh rating, that means it will last longer because it has more stored energy. Voltage is measured in Volts (V).
If a battery has higher mAh rating, that means it will last longer because it has more stored energy. Voltage is measured in Volts (V). The ability to hold a charge is measured in milliAmpere-hour (mAh), and can be thought of as the capacity of your E-Cig battery.
Higher mAh ratings mean longer runtimes and better performance for users who need long periods of time between charges.
Current is measured in milliAmpere-hour (mAh) and relates to how long a battery can keep operating before needing to recharge.
The current is measured in milliAmpere-hour (mAh) and relates to how long a battery can keep operating before needing to recharge. The term “milli” refers to the decimal point, which gets multiplied by 1,000 when you move from one mililiter (0.001 liters) of water to one liter of water.
The current is also referred to as mA or μA depending on its size relative to other units used for measurement purposes—for example, 0.01 mA could be called “1 microampere” or 0.001 μA could be called “100 nanofarads” (NF).
Understanding these concepts will help you build your own E-Cig.
Understanding these concepts will help you build your own E-Cig. Understanding how the E-Cig works and how to use it is crucial for any vaper, no matter what level of expertise they have with vaping.
