This item does not emit smoke but emulate the properties of smoking. It will cost the same as a pouch of tobacco but offers the habit without smoke compared to conventional cigarettes. The device acts like a dehumidifier or a nebulizer that utilizes heat or ultrasonic to vaporize solutions like propylene glycol, a clear, viscous, and odorless liquid that tastes sweet. This chemical is what they use in smoke machines to produce artificial smoke. In fact this chemical is of food grade as it is used in food colorings and also in flavorings. The chemical is contained in cartridges mixed with flavoring and water that can also be refilled when consumed. When vaporized, it could be inhaled with health benefits to the user. These cartridges offer from 150 to 300 puffs. Also, smokers would be free of nicotine and second hand smoke that is proven to be more harmful to nonsmokers.

The electronic cigarette was created in China by a Chinese Pharmacist named Hon Lik last 2003 and emerged in the market a year after. It has 3 main components: The atomizer, cartridge and the battery. The cartridge is where the solution is contained and vaporized with openings at both ends enabling the user to inhale the vaporized solution. After depleting the contents in the cartridge, the user can either refill it or replace it with a prefilled one. The Atomizer is the heating part that is responsible for vaporizing the substance in the e cigarette. It has a filament that serves as the element for heating that deteriorates over the use of the device and would need replacement for it to function well. The battery is the source of power for the heating element. It is rechargeable and could be sensor driven activation or in manually operated mode.
