is e cig as harmful as shisha?

[Guangy]

Hello everyone, I finally got myself an e-cig, I would like to ask if a e-cig as harmful as a shisha because I got an assumption that e-cig works the same way as shisha do. I would hope someone would clarify this thank you

WELCOME TO THE ECF

E-cigs are definitely safer than shisha. This is because your not inhaling burnt tobacco/fruit smoke. All your doing is inhaling vaporized nicotine liquid.

There's no comparison. The two work on totally different principles. One gives you smoke from combustion, along with a slew of carcinogens, the other produces vapor from a liquid and zero carcinogens.

thank you another question, the cotton inside is a filter for the liquid right? and how much dosage of the liquid should I put to refill everytime?

If your speaking about cartomizers. Yes, the polyfill is in there to absorb the e-liquid that you put in there. If your using standard sized cartomizers (EX. Boge LR 2.0) than it will take 25 drops. Let it seep for 20 minutes before using to ensure that everything is wet.

If your using XL cartos (Smoketech Dual Coil Cartomizers) than 45 drops is the max.

After the initial fill than you want to top it off or add additional 5 drops after 15 hits or so.

Not so much a filter, more of a reservoir/wick that holds the liquid and feeds it to the coil for atomizing.
As others have said generally keep it wet, it will take some time and trial and error to recognize when it needs to be re-wet depending on how much you vape. There are some good links on here as to refilling tecniques.
