The long awaited ban has finally arrived and Atomizers are no longer to be a part of the electronic cigarette vocabulary. It was bad enough that the word was so often spelled with a 'z' instead of an 's' but the main reason for the ban is that it is scientifically wrong to call the device that heats up liquid an A******r.
When a liquid is atomised, it is broken down into tiny particles that form a fine spray which might be unpleasant to inhale in that state.
When a liquid is vaporised it undergoes a spontaneous change from its liquid form to a gaseous one which makes it easy to inhale. It then condensates back to tiny liquid droplets which is what makes it visible - the gaseous vapour is invisible until it condensates. The vapour appears to maintain its integrity until it is being exhaled but there is no definite line between liquid and gas. There is a point in between called the Knudsen Layer which is probably (not certainly) the state the mixture is in when it is leaving our lungs. This is just one area of research that I am following up in order to determine what really happens when we vape.
The A******r is dead, long live the Vaporiser!!
