7 Ways You Can Customize Electronic Cigarettes
You probably have heard of tricking out your car, but what about tricking out your electronic cigarette? It’s a new trend started by dedicated smokers obsessed with the customizable technology of electronic cigarettes.
The widely-available e-cigs sold at supermarkets and gas stations across the country are considered passé. Smokers are personalizing their vaporizers to achieve distinctly unique styles that reflect their personality.
Dozens of companies have sprung up offering a wide selection of electronic cigarette accessories that allow enthusiasts to build and customize their own personal vaporizers, carrying cases and more.
Design of the Electronic Cigarette
An electronic cigarette has five basic parts:
- the housing
- the tip or mouthpiece
- the device battery
- an atomizer that heats the liquid and vaporizes it
- a e-liquid tank
The e-liquid is usually a mix of two main ingredients: propylene glycol, the main ingredient which is a food preservative, and vegetable glycerin, also used as a synthetic sweetener and preservative in food. It also contains nicotine and food flavors to give the vapor a taste, although you can buy flavors without nicotine. The mix of food-additive chemicals in the e-liquid is thought by many to be far safer than inhaling the chemicals in tobacco cigarettes.
7 Ways to Customize Your Electronic Cigarette
Customization involves buying authorized products that work with the e-cig you own. What is it about your device that could be better? Once you decide, there’s many different ways to customize your e-cig:
- Customize the nicotine level by purchasing different e-liquids. E-liquids come in a variety of nicotine levels, ultra-high to none.
- Disable the LED at the end of your battery. You can also buy a stealth battery that will turn off the blinking LED light.
- Customize the appearance of your e-cig by getting a new skin for it. Skins are inexpensive, come in many colors and patterns like camouflage.
- Choose a battery color that reflects you. Colored batteries are available by most manufacturers. You can also choose camouflage, marble, flowers, butterflies, holiday themes, and other patterns to create a unique look.
- Change the tip; tips can be wooden, metal or plastic and come in a variety of colors.
- You can buy empty cartridges and mix e-liquids to develop your own flavors.
- Carrying cases can be purchased in different colors, and in textures such as alligator, carbon fiber, or leather. You can also make an e-cig holster in a variety of designs, colors and materials.
Modification of your e-cig is different. It’s the result of disassembling your electronic cigarette and adding features or parts in an attempt to make it look and work in a different way. Modding an e-cig is not a good idea for the novice as it can damage the device and make it unsafe to use.
Now that you know all the ways in which you can personalize your e-cig, you can start creating yours today.
