[edit] Electronic Cigarette/Personal Vaporizer Parts

The 3 main parts of a typical PV are the battery, the atomizer and the cartridge.

[edit] Battery

The battery is the power supply, the bulk of the device and on some device also carry the on/off switch.

[edit] Atomizer

Also known as the "atty", these are what heats up to vaporize the liquid nicotine juice in your cartridge.

[edit] Cartridge

This is the part that holds the nicotine liquid. It is generally stuffed with a nylon or other heat resistant filling that absorbs fluids. The atomizer touches this while it is wet causing the nicotine to vaporize and be inhaled.

[edit] Cartomizer

Some e-cigs come with a combination cartridge and atomizer all in one that is called a cartomizer. This makes them more disposable.
