How to Fill an Electric Cigarette

Electronic cigarettes, or smokeless cigarettes give smokers the sensation of smoking without the harmful chemicals and smoke. The size and shape mimic conventional cigarettes, although they are slightly heavier. The smoker inhales through the cigarette and a tiny, battery-operated atomizer delivers a puff of vapor. The cartridges that give the electronic cigarette its flavor, also give the smoker a vaporized puff of nicotine. According to the Mayo Clinic, the FDA has not approved these products as a safe alternative to smoking.
