How electronic cigarettes work: the technical chain from battery to atomization

As a new type of nicotine replacement product, electronic cigarettes have rapidly become popular around the world in recent years. Its core working principle involves multiple links such as battery power supply, atomization technology and e-liquid formulation, which together achieve an efficient and controllable atomization experience. This article will deeply analyze the technical chain of electronic cigarettes and focus on the innovation and advantages of Sanlei in the core components of electronic cigarettes.

1. Basic composition of electronic cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes are mainly composed of the following core components: battery (power supply system), atomizer (heating element), e-liquid storage system (smoke cartridge or e-liquid tank), and control circuit (power regulation and safety protection). These components work together to convert e-liquid into inhalable mist, simulating the experience of traditional cigarettes.

2. Working principle of electronic cigarettes
(1) Battery power supply: the energy source of electronic cigarettes
The battery of electronic cigarettes usually uses lithium-ion batteries to provide stable voltage output. High-end electronic cigarette devices are equipped with chips that can adjust voltage/power to adapt to the needs of different atomizer cores. The high energy density battery solution provided by Sanlei can extend the battery life of electronic cigarettes, while supporting fast charging technology to improve user experience.
(2) Atomizer: The core component of electronic cigarettes
The atomizer consists of a heating wire (coil) and oil-conducting cotton. When current passes through the heating wire, the resistance heats up and the oil evaporates into mist instantly. The performance of the atomizer directly affects the amount of smoke, taste and durability.
Sanlei's ceramic atomizer core has the following advantages:
Uniform heating to avoid burnt smell caused by local overheating
High porosity structure to improve oil conduction efficiency
Long life design to reduce frequent replacement
(3) Oil atomization: from liquid to aerosol
Oil is usually composed of PG (propylene glycol), VG (vegetable glycerin), nicotine and flavors. PG is responsible for delivering fragrance, VG affects the amount of smoke, and the atomization temperature determines the delicateness of the taste. Sanlei's customized oil formula can optimize atomization efficiency, reduce carbon deposition, and make the taste purer.
(4) Intelligent control: safe and personalized experience
Modern electronic cigarettes are usually equipped with MCU control chips to achieve: power regulation (adapting to atomizer cores with different resistances), overheat protection (preventing damage to batteries or atomizers), and suction sensing (automatic operation triggered by airflow)

3. Advantages of Sanlei's electronic cigarette solutions
Sanlei focuses on the research and development and production of core materials for electronic cigarettes, and its products have significant competitiveness in the industry:
(1) High-performance atomizer core
Ceramic atomizer core: uniform heating, delicate taste, and longer life
Mesh atomizer core: larger atomization area, increased smoke volume
(2) Safe and durable battery solution

Provides high-rate discharge batteries to meet the needs of high-power electronic cigarettes
(3) Environmentally friendly smoke oil and materials
Use food-grade raw materials and meet international safety standards
Low-leakage cartridge design to reduce waste

4. Future development trend of e-cigarettes
With the advancement of technology, the e-cigarette industry is moving towards a safer, smarter and more environmentally friendly direction, for example:
Temperature control (TC) technology: accurately adjust the atomization temperature to avoid overheating
Degradable cigarette cartridges: reduce plastic pollution
Smart interconnection: adjust power and record usage data through APP

5. Conclusion
The working principle of e-cigarettes involves multiple technical links such as batteries, atomization, and control. The performance of each component directly affects the final experience. Sanlei provides reliable solutions for e-cigarette manufacturers with advanced atomization core technology, high-safety battery solutions and environmentally friendly materials, and promotes the industry to develop in a more efficient and safer direction.
