How to Use Smart Vape Disposable E-Cigarettes

Vaping has always been experimental. The technology tells you as much as possible about your gadget and how effectively it functions, from touchscreen capabilities to tiny PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards). What does it imply that vaping devices are becoming "smarter" due to new technology, and how are smart vapes used?

SMART VAPES AND SMART MODES

Some vaping devices already have "smart" technology. Such modes automatically determine the settings for the user's connected temperature control coil. The user only needs to adjust the temperature.

In its Smart Mode, the VooPoo Drag 2's watt mode automatically sets the wattage depending on resistance and prevents you from putting it too high. It is intended to be used with their stock coils to set the wattage to a safe level when the user inserts a new one. It can safeguard inexperienced vapers who need guidance on how high to set the watts and stop the mod from accidentally going too high.

WHAT IS A SMART VAPE?

In that they can adapt to various stimuli, smart vapes are similar to smart modes. However, the vaping device will adjust to the user rather than, for instance, changing the wattage to fit a new coil.

Consider the smart technology in your house. Most contemporary homes now have Wi-Fi-connected thermostats, and some even have connected appliances. The extra features make the gadget more practical and can relate to smartphone apps to track settings, routines, etc.

Although this is somewhat of a misnomer, the next generation of intelligent vaporizers is sometimes called AI vapes. Voice command capabilities are more of an old technology than a product of artificial intelligence. However, JUUL is one business that does intend to integrate AI-like technology into a new gadget.

HOW VAPE COMPANIES USE SMART VAPES

Smart technology is being used by vaping businesses to show politicians that they're dedicated to tackling nicotine addiction. One of the biggest manufacturers of disposable vapes in the market, Juul, has submitted a patent application for an allegedly AI-powered product. According to the manufacturer, the device could aid users in quitting nicotine by limiting daily usage and gradually easing the user off the drug.

The suggested device would interact with a vaporiser to switch between nicotine and a substitute substance with a comparable flavour, like citric acid. The projected Juul aims to gently wean users off nicotine dependence while preserving their smoking enjoyment.

It's an innovative idea. Devices with voice-activation modes that can recognise voice commands to change the settings are available on the market until it is released. For instance, if you select "Auto Power" on one device, the wattage will adjust to match the ideal coil resistance in the tank. One SMOK device supports voice commands for adjusting things like the screen display colour, among other "AI" features for aesthetic modifications.

Even though vaping technology and AI have evolved dramatically in the last five years, many customers will find the new capability challenging. Smart features, including auto-adjusting wattage, may be valuable for vapers who use their preferred devices only for enjoyment, even if they are familiar with them inside and out. Others are just gimmicks, such as screen colour changes.

SMART VAPING MODE AND MORE VAPING MODES

Since its inception, vaping technology has advanced significantly, and if you get a vape starter kit, you'll receive a product with a surprisingly wide range of outstanding features. If you have little experience vaping, you could find some of those functions a little puzzling. Your new gadget will probably have at least a few distinct vaping modes.

A vape mod will probably begin in variable wattage mode when you initially turn it on. On the screen of the gadget, you'll see a number. When you utilise the adjustment buttons on your mod, the number changes and you either receive more or less vapour. But what do those figures signify? Why would you need to change the wattage of your gadget to begin with? Why doesn't a vape mod already have the perfect power delivery set up when purchased?

Enter the fray! You'll discover the rationale behind a vape mod's extensive tweaking possibilities. More significantly, you'll find the different vaping modes and the motives behind why you might wish to vape them.

Smart Vaping Mode

Your device may have a vaping mode automatically setting up the machine to work well with the attached tank or atomiser. The implementation of the smart vaping way will vary because it is a proprietary function that differs from device to device.

When a vape mod is in its smart mode, it may automatically recommend a suitable wattage after determining the resistance of the attached tank. You may change the wattage when the vaping session is precisely what you want it to be. Your device might identify the tank and automatically return to your actual wattage if you disconnect and reconnect the tank.

Some manufacturers configure their vape mods to mimic specific tanks' characteristics. In this situation, you can connect your mod to a tank built by the same company, and the mod will recognise the tank independently. You may choose whether you want the mod to set itself up for the best flavour, battery life, or vapour production. In other situations, a vape mod's smart mode might be even smarter.

Variable Wattage and Variable Voltage Mode

Variable wattage mode provides you finer control over how much power your vape mod delivers, whereas variable voltage mode is less common and is available on some devices. A vape mod will likely begin in variable wattage mode when you turn it on for the first time. On the gadget's display, you'll see a number like "50.0," which denotes that the device is automatically adjusting the battery or batteries' power delivery to achieve that output wattage.

The practice of selling vape mods as complete starter kits with included tanks is a relatively recent development. Vape mods were almost always offered in their raw form in the past. People anticipated their vape mods would function separately from the vape tanks or atomizers they purchased. Every tank has a particular wattage range where it performs best. Therefore, vape mods must provide as much versatility as possible. So why would a vape mod offer you complete choice over its wattage, even when it increases the risk that you'll choose the incorrect setting and ruin your coil?

You may still want to try different tanks if you purchase a vape mod today with a tank. It is simply using the variable wattage vaping mode.

Your mod's variable wattage mode can also let you choose between "Soft," "Normal," and "Hard" preheating strengths, which regulate how quickly the device achieves the preset wattage. Utilizing the "Soft" setting will cause a gradual increase in coil temperature. When you push the fire button on your mod and select the "Hard" setting, the coil will nearly instantaneously reach its maximum temperature.

How do you determine the ideal vaping wattage for your vape tank? Check the box when purchasing a pack of coils to view the recommended operating range for those coils. Additionally, the suggested wattage range is typically etched onto the coil's surface. If you maintain your device inside that range, you'll have the longest coil life possible.

Temperature Control Mode

Because your vape mod allows you to select your operational wattage, as discussed above, you can choose a power level that is too high. If that is the case, you can encounter a scenario in which the cotton wick in your coil dries out and burns. That's one of the factors why vaping may give you a burnt flavour, and believe us once we say that "dry hits" are awful. The temperature control vaping mode was created for this reason.

What is vaping at a controlled temperature? The quick response is that it automatically caps the coil temperature in your vape tank. Your atomiser coil's wick is dry, so you get a dry hit when vaping. The heating element in your vape coil will flash red and release foul smells if you fail to refill your tank or vape with such high wattage that all of the e-juice in your coil's wick instantly vaporises. The coil won't ever again provide a decent flavour because the cotton wick will most likely burn.

Your device will automatically detect the temperature of the coil while you smoke when you utilise this mode. To avoid a dry hit and to keep the coil from burning out, the mod reduces its power if the temperature rises above the threshold you define. The mod will stop creating vapor rather than giving off a strong dry hit. An atomiser coil constructed of a suitable material with temperature sensing is necessary for the temperature control mode. A kanthal coil won't function in temperature control mode, but a stainless-steel coil will. By looking at the box, you may determine what kind of coil you are using. Stainless steel coils are available for a lot of vape tanks.

The most common coil material for temperature control vaping is stainless steel because it also functions in wattage mode. Titanium and nickel vape coils can also be used in temperature control mode. However, those coil materials are less common because you can't use them in wattage mode.

Bypass Mode

The mechanical mod is one vaping device type that was once quite popular but has now fallen out of favour as you study the history of vape mods. When you press the button on a mechanical mod, the battery's full power is sent to the atomiser coil. This type of vaping device lacks internal circuitry to control battery safety. Because they provided substantially greater power and battery capacity than the other e-cigarettes available, mechanical mods were particularly well-liked in the early days of vaping.

But mechanical mods were also developed when sub-ohm vaping wasn't a thing, and vape coils drew a fraction of the current amount of amperage. Mechanical mods are now uncommon since, if you use a vape coil that pulls a current of well over ten amps, you'd rather use a vaping device with some safety protection.

If your vape mod has a bypass vaping mode, using it will give you the same results as using a mechanical mod, but the safety circuitry on your device will still be in operation. Bypass mode outputs the full voltage of the battery while skipping your device's power control mechanisms. Because of this, it is often only offered with single- and dual-battery mods that employ parallel wiring instead of series wiring. The safety features of your mod are still active when in bypass mode, so you can still benefit from things like temperature control and short-circuit protection.

Wattage Curve Mode

Once you own an advanced vape mod, your gadget may contain a vaping mode with a label like "Power Curve" or "Wattage Curve." This mode allows you to create a preset program wherein your vape mod alters its power output slowly as you hold the fire button. When you activate this vaping mode, a configuration screen that resembles a graph will appear. The graph's y-axis shows the power level of your vape mod, while the x-axis represents time. You can set the precise power output of your vape mod by tweaking the graph, and you can take the same puff each time you vape.

So why would you want to use the wattage curve setting on your device? The most popular application for this vaping mode is to create a curve that first provides a little bit more power to the device, causing instant vapour production, before gradually reducing the ability to protect the coil from overheating. But with this vaping mode at your disposal, you can make your vape mod do anything, and with a little trial and error, you'll find your perfect setup.
