The replacement cycle of an electronic e-liquid core is usually around 7 days to half a month. However, the actual cycle is influenced by multiple factors such as usage frequency, type of e-liquid, and power Settings. It needs to be dynamically adjusted in combination with personal habits and the condition of the equipment. The following is the specific analysis:
Finished atomizing core: The regular service life is between 7 days and half a month. For instance, the lifespan of the first-generation atomization core of RelX is approximately one month under normal usage frequency. However, if it is not used properly, it may be shortened to two to three weeks. The lifespan of the atomization core of the Relx Alpha (Second Generation) is approximately 1.5 to 2 months. Under normal use, the lifespan of the Relx Spirit Point (Third generation) can reach about two months. The atomization cores of Relx Infinite (4th generation) and Phantom (5th generation) can be used for 2 to 3 months under reasonable usage conditions.
RBA atomization core: The replacement cycle varies greatly, ranging from daily to every half month.
Factors affecting the replacement cycle:
Frequency of use: Frequent use will shorten the lifespan of the atomization core.
Type of e-liquid: High-sugar e-liquids (such as Malay oil) can accelerate the formation of carbon deposits and may need to be replaced daily. Low-power mode or light e-liquid may last for 3 to 5 days.
Power setting: All atomizing cores have a certain range of power they can withstand. If the output power is set too high, the high temperature generated by the coil will cause excessive evaporation of the e-liquid. The cotton around will not be able to replenish the e-liquid in time and will burn, generating a burnt smell, which will affect the taste and texture, and also shorten the lifespan of the atomizing core.
The method for determining whether the atomization core needs to be replaced:
Judging by the smell of the e-cigarette: If the e-cigarette has a burning sensation in the throat, or a burnt or strange smell, or the smell has significantly weakened, it is necessary to check whether the atomization core needs to be replaced. The accumulation of carbon deposits will hinder the atomization of e-liquid, resulting in poor oil flow and subsequently generating a burnt smell. If the taste remains abnormal after changing the e-liquid, it is necessary to focus on checking the condition of the atomizing core.
Visual inspection: Remove the oil tank and observe the interior of the atomizer core. If the cotton turns black, the surface of the heating wire adheres to a paste-like substance, or the color of the e-liquid darkens significantly, it indicates that the carbon deposit has reached the critical value and the atomizer core needs to be replaced. Some high-end atomizing cores adopt a transparent chamber design, allowing users to directly observe the state of the cotton and improve the efficiency of judgment.
Check the equipment status: Problems such as oil leakage, increased suction resistance or e-liquid being sucked into the mouth may be related to the aging of the atomizing core. For example, a decrease in the density of cotton will lead to a deterioration in sealing performance, which in turn causes oil leakage. Insufficient oil supply may be caused by the hardening of cotton, resulting in the oil conduction rate lagging behind the suction frequency.
