Is cotton coil electronic cigarette really better than ceramic coil electronic cigarette?

 

These problems are not only the concern of users who use electronic cigarettes, but also caused some controversy in the industry. The source of the matter is that when ceramic coils were in vogue, someone in the industry suddenly proposed to let the electronic cigarette return to the era of cotton coil . There is a contest of interests behind it.

 

As for the electronic cigarettes with cotton coil and ceramic coil, who is better to smoke? How to select as a user? This time, we collected a large number of relevant materials, and sorted out this article — the development history of the atomizer coil.

 

Glass fiber rope

 

The earliest atomizing oil conducting material in the early development of e-cig was glass fiber rope.

 

It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, strong oil absorption, fast oil transmission, etc., but it is easy to produce flocs when the unabsorbed oil is still exposed. Between 2014 and 2015, many e-cigarette users were worried about the “powder falling” of glass fiber rope into the lungs, so this material was gradually eliminated by mainstream manufacturer at home and abroad.

 

Cotton coil

Current mainstream atomizer coil material.

Compared with the previous fiberglass oil guide rope, it is safer and the smoke is more full and real. The cotton coil structure is in the form of heating wire winding cotton, and its atomization principle is that the heating wire is atomized decoration, and the cotton is oil conducting material. When the cigarette set is working, the oil absorbed by the cotton heated by the heating wire is atomized to produce smoke.

 

From 2015 to today, the cotton oil transmitting material has also experienced the development process from degreased cotton, organic cotton to the current top-grade long staple cotton and other professional electronic cigarettes cotton.

However, the life of cotton coil is short, it is easy to dry burn, and the taste stability is not enough. Therefore, with the increase of vape pod kits on the market, in order to obtain a more stable atomization taste, major manufacturers began to research on the substitute materials for atomization cores.

Compared with cotton coil，the ceramic oil atomized taste is more delicate and smooth when inhaled, but the reducibility for oil taste is still a little lower than cotton wick.

 

The ① generation microporous ceramic atomizer coil uses molding injection molding to burn ceramic materials around the heating wire.

The ② generation microporous ceramic atomizer coil uses printing method to embed the heating wire into the surface of microporous ceramic substrate.

The 3 generation microporous ceramic atomizer coil is to embed the heating wire into the surface of microporous ceramic matrix.

The three generations of ceramic atomizer coils have been used in vape pods in the market. The structure of each group has its own differences. The porosity of ceramics produced by some manufacturers can reach more than 60%, which is very different from the traditional ceramic coils and further improves the taste.

 

As the main stream atomizer coil of vape pod kits at present, the ceramic coil has the most important advantages of stability and durability, fine and pure smoke. The ceramic coil will not be pasted like the cotton coil, and the atomization process is stable from beginning to end.

 

Which is better,cotton coil or ceramic coil?

As one of the most important components of electronic cigarette, the development of coil also determines the development of the entire electronic cigarette industry. The debate about the current two mainstream atomization coil is also an inevitable collision of technology change in the process of industry development. So whether cotton coil is better or ceramic coil is better, even in the industry, there is no final conclusion. However, we can refer to the following points based on our query:

 

① Taste reduction:cotton coil>ceramic coil

② Taste stability: ceramic coil>cotton coil

③ Taste fineness: ceramic coil>cotton coil

④ Price:ceramic coil＞cotton coil

⑤ Oil leakage rate:cotton coil<ceramic coil

 

The correlation between the oil leakage rate and the overall structure of the atomizer is relatively large, and the influence of the atomizer coil material is slightly small, but the coil determines the structure of an atomizer.
