Each electronic cigarette can be broken down into five parts: faux filter, e liquid, atomizing device, battery, and light-up tip (check out the diagram*). Every time you take a puff, a vacuum switch is activated. An electric current shoots to a wick which heats up our tasty e-liquid and turns it into vapor, and as you draw in, the simulated ash tip glows. Look at you now! You're not smoking tobacco and you're feelin' mighty fine.
When you stop puffing, the lithium ion battery ceases heating the liquid and you can stick the stick right back in its convenient flip-top container for the next use. And when you've used it up, the glowing tip will flash ten times. Then you know it's time to recycle it and get a free electronic cigarette in the mail.
