Posted: August 11, 2010 at 4:40 am
There are 4 main styles of electronic smoking devices, e cigs, or eCigarettes people should be familiar with before they “take the plunge” and buy their first starter kit.
At first, these styles may seem familiar and obvious to you, but in the world of e smoking each style actually has practical value associated with it. In this article I will reveal each functional advantage and disadvantage, or pro and con for each style.
Style vs Type
I want to make one more important distinction between style and what I call “types” of e cigs. Style refers mainly to external appearances whereas type refers purely to function.
There are also 3 main types of electronic cigarettes that are typically referred to as 1-piece, 2-piece and 3-piece. If you would like to better understand how the 3 main types differ from the 4 styles you can read this article on the 3 main types of electronic cigarette kits, but I suggest you read this article about style first.
If you are totally new to electronic cigarettes then you may want to start with a quick google for and e cigs FAQ (frequently asked questions) page before you continue.
4 Main Styles of e Cigarettes
The 4 main styles of eCigs are:
* mini electronic cigarettes
* pen style electronic cigarettes
* electronic cigars
* electronic pipes
Pen-Style e Cigarette
The pen style is probably the least familiar style to most people so I will discuss this style and its pros and cons first.
As its name implies, a “pen-style” electronic cigarette is resembles an ink pen in size and shape, but without the shirt clip, so no pocket protector necessary!
Seriously though, pen-Style e cigs can also resemble cigarette filters you sometimes see rich people smoking in old movies, but maybe a little shorter.
The main advantage or pro of the pen style e cig is that it is a good balance between form and function. Even though they are about twice as long as a regular cigarette, they are still relatively small and skinny, but have larger nicotine refill cartridges and batteries that last longer and produce good vapor.
Another advantage of the pen-style ecigs is that most don’t resemble regular cigarettes in appearance and are NOT usually mistaken for regular cigarettes and therefore can almost always be smoked in non-smoking areas without much trouble.
At the time of writing this article it is technically not illegal to smoke an electronic cigarette in non-smoking areas because it is not considered a tobacco product and is not combustible.
In fact, establishments aware of the virtually odorless and non-combustible electronic cigarette (such as many Casinos On Line and some bars) actually encourage the use of electronic cigarettes to give their clientele an alternative to smoking where smoking indoors has been banned by law.
The only real con or disadvantage to the pen-style electronic cigarette is that if you are not used to the size or appearance of this style it may be awkward in social settings, at least the first few times you get together with friends. Strangers that smoke however, tend to be very friendly when inquiring about a pen-style e cig.
Mini Style e Cigarette
The mini electronic cigarette tends to be the most familiar to people as this style is the most similar in size and appearance of a real cigarette which can be both its main advantage and disadvantage.
Since pen-style e cigarettes came out first and were then miniaturized over time, the term “mini” however, is now really used to describe ANY electronic cigarette smaller than a pen style device.
In fact, e cigs that are closest in size to actual cigarettes such as the
