An Electronic Cigarette is a battery operated smoking device that is completely rechargeable. The device contains no tobacco and requires no flame. It produces a vapor without harmful tar but with better flavor than traditional cigarettes.

The e-cigarette consists of a battery, a heating element (atomizer or vaporizer), and a cartridge. The cartridge is the mouth piece which contains the flavor and nicotine. When you inhale through the device the heating element vaporizes a nicotine solution stored in the cartridge. An LED on the opposite end of the device simulates a glow during inhalation giving the appearance of a lit cigarette.
