The principle of heat-not-burn e-cigarettes is to use an electronic heat source to heat tobacco to a specific temperature (usually between 200 and 350 degrees Celsius), causing it to release aerosols containing nicotine and other chemicals for smokers to inhale, without causing a combustion process. The following is the specific explanation:
Heat-not-burn electronic cigarettes, also known as low-temperature cigarettes, are a new type of tobacco product that combines a smoking device and a cigarette cartridge. It is designed with the concept of “heating without burning”, using a specially made heating device (smoking appliance) to heat the treated tobacco shreds (specially made smoke bombs) to a certain temperature, causing the tobacco shreds to emit smoke for people to smoke. Since this heating method does not involve a combustion process, it does not produce harmful substances from traditional cigarettes such as tar and carbon monoxide, greatly reducing the harm to people.
The heating non-burning e-cigarette mainly consists of two parts: the heating device and the heating non-burning cartridge. Heating tobacco appliances are usually composed of power supply, temperature control system, heating system, cleaning mechanism and other parts. They use rechargeable batteries as the power source, and the battery determines the continuous suction life of the tobacco appliance. The cigarette cartridge is composed of three parts: the smoke generation section, the cooling section and the filter tip section. The smoke generation section is the most important component. After being heated in the heating chamber, it emits smoke similar to that of traditional cigarettes, which is then passed through the cooling section and the filter tip section for users to smoke.
During the heating process, the temperature of the heating element is usually controlled at 270-330 ℃ to ensure that the tobacco material releases nicotine and flavoring substances without being burned. This heating method avoids the direct burning of tobacco, thereby greatly reducing the production of harmful substances.
