Atomiser
(US: Atomizer)
What is it?
The atomiser (or atomizer) is the part of the electronic cigarette which turns the nicotine containing liquid (e-juice or smoke juice) into a vapour.
Essentially a heating element, the atomiser warms up the nicotine liquid.
Failures
The atomiser is the part of the electronic cigarette most likely to experience failure. As a result, a new trend has been to develop cartomisers (or cartomizers), which combine a disposable atomiser with a pre-filled cartridge. See our article on cartomizers for more information.
Cleaning Atomisers
Atomisers should be cleaned weekly. We have found white spirits such as vodka effective for cleaning them.
