Vaper, what you need to know about the development history of electronic cigarettes

The world of e-cigarettes is Jianghu. At the beginning of the establishment of the Jianghu, the number of smoking cessation groups was large and the mass base was excellent. It is not too much to say that it is a famous school in the Jianghu, It also played a new pattern of electronic cigarettes, letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend. In just a few years, the number of church members has reached millions.

Where there are people, there is Jianghu, and where there is Jianghu, there is history.

Speaking of the history of electronic cigarettes, it seems that every Vaper can say a few words, but if asked more comprehensively and in detail, I'm afraid few people understand. Facing the ignorant eyes of the newcomers, are you still secretly checking Google?

Today, ALLBAR will talk with you about the development history of electronic cigarettes.

The birth of any industry will go through such a process, namely, the germination period - chaos period - development period - outbreak period - recession period, that is, the rise of opposition, the outbreak of discussion, and applause. The same is true for the electronic cigarette industry.

1. Early development of electronic cigarettes

As early as 1963, electronic cigarettes can be mentioned. At that time, Herbert A. Gilbert developed a smokeless non-cigarette device, which is a vapor gas generated by heating nicotine solution. Equipment.

In 1965, his research and development patent was officially authorized. In the same year, Gilbert's smokeless and non-cigarette invention idea was first mentioned in the most popular mechanical magazine.

Unfortunately, in 1967, when Gilbert was looking for a company to produce electronic cigarettes on a large scale, he did not get any support. Since then, Gilbert's smoke-free, non-cigarette equipment has gradually faded and disappeared.

In 2001, Stephen Vlacho designed the first prototype functional sample of electronic cigarette in the world, and heated the biological mixed liquid containing nicotine through the electronic thermal resistance to generate steam.

In 2002, the first version of electronic cigarettes was officially unveiled to the public at the Geneva International Invention Exhibition, which aroused the strong interest of smokers. Nevertheless, Vlach has not applied for a patent for the invention of this product.

It was not until 2004 that his similar electronic cigarette products appeared in China that completely changed his idea. He started to produce the first electronic cigarette and argued that his patent had been stolen. Although it is, there is no way to verify it.

In 2003, Han Li invented the first nicotine based electronic cigarette product, which was once widely regarded as the inventor of the first generation of electronic cigarettes.

In 2004, Han Li quantified the production and sales of the equipment for the first time in the world, and changed the name of Jinlong Holding Company to Ruyan Technology.

In 2005, the electronic cigarette products of Ruyan Technology began to be exported overseas and obtained the first international patent in 2007.

After the invention of e-cigarettes, e-cigarettes were not initially noticed in China, but were used for export. This is because many foreign laws and regulations prohibit smoking in public places and have strict requirements on the quality of life.

At that time, there were also some electronic cigarette brands in China, but the price was very expensive. Electronic cigarettes are hardly sold in China and are exported, so many Chinese people do not know.

However, with the outbreak of the financial crisis after 2008, many export products were blocked for export abroad and began to sell domestically. As a result, the price of e-cigarettes has gradually declined.

So Shenzhen electronic cigarette, electronic cigarette market came into being. At this time, the main venue of e-cigarettes is Shenzhen. In the following years, the electronic cigarette industry began to enter the fast lane of historical development. The second and third generation electronic cigarette products came out one after another, leading the international market trend of electronic cigarette.

2. Development and evolution of electronic cigarettes

1) First generation electronic cigarette

The first generation of electronic cigarette or the first electronic cigarette product was invented by Han Li in China around 2000. The first generation of electronic cigarettes, as a compact and convenient prototype of cigarette substitutes, was a unique idea at that time, and later manufacturers also basically took this product as the prototype.

The first generation of electronic cigarette has an electronic controller separated from the battery to control the discharge current of 3.7v rechargeable lithium battery. It adopts a three-level structure of battery, atomizer and ink cartridge. The battery controller limits the voltage to 4.2v through the microcircuit board and outputs 3.3v.

2) Second-generation electronic cigarette

The early models of second-generation e-cigarettes include a 14500 lithium battery box (for example, Nicostick, an early prototype of e-cigarettes, which was discussed in the foreign e-cigarette forum as early as 2009), and a copper cigarette tube with two ends connected to batteries (the early prototype is copper).

The first commercially successful prototype of the second generation electronic cigarette is the screwdriver of Trog, UK. The most typical feature of this prototype is the larger RC123a lithium battery, which is more stable and lasts longer each time. NTrog uses a resistance bar to reduce the battery voltage to 5v. This product prototype was considered as the template for most other products at that time. Limited by consumers' perception of Shenzhen e-cigarettes and limited by commercial achievements.

3) The third generation electronic cigarette

The third generation of electronic cigarettes is a real electronic supervision equipment and has made great progress. The electronic cigarette began with a plastic box containing two lithium batteries and gradually became a box. There are also two lithium batteries in the third-generation e-cigarette battery box. Generally, there is 7.4v. Up to 8.4v, but electronic voltage stabilizer is added to control the output voltage of the battery to 5v.

The third-generation electronic cigarette also has three advantages: 5v output voltage, lithium battery and rechargeable, achieving the ultimate goal of online battery discussion.

4) The fourth generation electronic cigarette

The electronic voltage stabilizer box leads the trend of the fourth generation of electronic cigarettes. At first, the fourth generation electronic cigarette allows users to adjust the voltage in the range of 3.3v to 6v, but it is still as rough as the second generation product. The potentiometer button provides external voltage control or adjusts the voltage with a screwdriver.

The fourth generation electronic cigarette has no display screen at the beginning. Everyone must guess how much voltage has been adjusted. Later, a display like a very original electronic watch was added. Although it was rough at first, the flexibility of the four generations of products surprised everyone.

5) The fifth generation electronic cigarette

The fifth generation electronic cigarette is a device for boosting or reducing pressure. The voltage stabilizer can generate any voltage used by the atomizer, which is not limited by the battery voltage. You can even use lithium batteries to adjust the required voltage. Any voltage. If the required voltage is lower than the battery voltage, the voltage regulator box can suppress the voltage. If the required voltage is higher than the battery voltage, the voltage regulator box can also boost the voltage.

6) The sixth generation electronic cigarette

The sixth generation electronic cigarette set has an adjustable output power box device, and the same atomizer and cigarette oil are more playable (the smoke volume and concentration change more).

The sign of the sixth generation electronic cigarette is adjustable output power, which means that the output wattage of the atomizer can be adjusted. At the same output power, no matter which type of atomizer is used, the amount of smoke produced is basically the same.

7) The seventh generation electronic cigarette

In the first quarter of 2015, the seven-generation temperature-controlled electronic cigarette came into your eyes. The seventh generation of electronic cigarettes is what we call temperature-controlled electronic cigarettes. Enhance security and playability.

The chip in the electronic cigarette can control the smoke of the electronic cigarette device to produce a certain temperature. This has many advantages, such as avoiding the drying of the wick and setting the maximum temperature limit. Prevent the thermal degradation of the oil due to high temperature.

Electronic cigarette products are the most innovative technological products in the 21st century. They introduced the concept of environmental protection and health and broke through the monopoly of traditional cigarettes, which has epoch-making historical significance. With the development of the times, we believe that the future of electronic cigarettes has unlimited possibilities!

E-cigarette has developed from a product to an industry, and then to an e-cigarette culture. During this period, it encountered many obstacles and problems, but new things will certainly replace the old ones. Although the future of e-cigarettes is bumpy, it is bright.

As a professional electronic cigarette company integrating research, development, production and sales, ALLBAR has been committed to cooperating with its peers in the same industry and looking forward to better development and market popularization of electronic cigarettes in the future.

What we do today will become history tomorrow and become a part of the development history of electronic cigarettes.
