Product Spotlight: Kangertech e-Smart Clearomizer

The growing popularity of electronic cigarettes can be attributed to not only the wide selection of flavored e-juices available, but also to the user’s ability to completely customize their setup with their choice of equipment. Since clearomizers hold and vaporize the liquid inside to simulate your smoking experience, choosing the right one is essential when you’re setting up your device.

Since 2007, Kangertech has been focusing on invention and innovation to create high quality vaping products, including the Kangertech e-Smart Clearomizer. Plastic and disposable, this clearomizer is a replacement piece for the Kanger e-Smart 808D-1 threaded e-cig, but is also compatible with other kinds of setups as well. Like all other clearomizers, this device is clear, allowing for you to monitor exactly how much liquid is left in the container.

This device features a 1.3mL tank with threaded mouthpiece and top coil design that is easy to fill and creates huge, warm clouds of vapor. To fill, simply unscrew the mouthpiece and fill the outer portion with the e-liquid of your choice. The Kangertech clearomizer has a center tube for airflow, so take care to not drop any liquid inside when you’re refilling. Although the piece is small and convenient to travel with, given its size, it is recommended that you use a syringe or something similar for less mess when you’re refilling the tank. Replace the mouthpiece, let the wick absorb the liquid for up to 3 minutes and puff away!

This clearomizer is sold separately and also comes included in the Kangertech e-Smart Kit, which is great if you’re just starting out or want to cut down on the hassle of acquiring separate pieces.

Disposable vs. Rechargeable E-Cigs

Both disposable electronic cigarettes and rechargeable electronic cigarettes have their benefits and drawbacks. While rechargeable e-cigs are more common, many e-smokers do prefer disposable e-cigs. We’ve compiled a list of the pros and cons of each type to help you figure out which is right for you.

Rechargeable E-Cigs

Pros – Generally, rechargeable e-cigarettes perform better, last longer, and provide more e-liquid options. These types of e-cigs were designed to be recharged and used over and over, so the e-cig itself provides an excellent smoking experience and is more durable, so they can be used for long periods of time – very environmentally friendly! Rechargeable e-cigs also give users more freedom to customize their vaping experience. There are countless e-liquid flavors you can try, plus different strengths of nicotine. Finally, while the initial cost can be expensive, you’ll end up saving money in the long run by choosing a rechargeable c-cigarette.

Cons – As mentioned, the cost of purchasing your first e-cig can be high. Starter kits range from $30 to $70, with high quality and more advanced models running at an even higher cost. You also have to keep buying new e-liquid (which is fairly cheap, but can be considered a hassle) and eventually new parts and batteries. Additionally, you’ll have to be sure to keep re-charging the e-cig in order to be able to use it.

Disposable E-Cigs

Pros – Disposable e-cigarettes are cheap, simple and convenient. Available via most electronic cigarette companies and at gas stations, smoke shops, at grocery stores, disposable e-cigs’ biggest advantage is their ready availability. Disposable e-cigs also are meant to be disposed of after use, so you never have to worry about charging them or buying replacements parts. Additionally, disposable e-cigs have a much lower upfront cost and can be purchase for about $5 to $10 (each one is equal to one to two packs of cigarettes). When you aren’t ready to commit to buying any specific e-cig, disposable e-cigarettes are a great solution.

Cons – While the upfront cost of disposable e-cigs is cheaper than rechargeable e-cigs, over time it will be more costly. Additionally, most disposable electronic cigarettes do not provide as strong of a performance as rechargeable e-cigs, and are much more limited in flavor, nicotine and design options. While disposable e-cigs provide a fine vaping experience, they are generally of a lower quality than rechargeable e-cigs.

When you’re looking for a quick-fix or want to experiment with different brands and types of e-cigs, disposable electronic cigarettes are the way to go. If you want the best vaping experience possible and you’d like to be able to choose from a wide variety of flavors, rechargeable e-cigarettes are the best option. Whether you’re searching for disposable or rechargeable e-cigs, e-liquids, or replacement parts, you can find all the vaping products you need at Lite Cig USA.

Troubleshooting Common e-Cig Problems

While electronic cigarettes have an edge over traditional cigarettes – no lingering odor, less harmful chemicals, and you can use them virtually anywhere – they do take some maintenance to keep them running smoothly. Several working parts go into making an e-cig operate and you might find yourself running into some mechanical trouble when using it that can impact your vaping experience. To help you identify and correct whatever issues you may have, we have compiled a brief guide of common problems with e-cigs and how to fix them, so your setup can continue operating at the peak of its performance.

Not feeling the nicotine – If you’re not getting a buzz off of your e-cig, you might want to increase the level of nicotine in your e-liquid. Most e-liquids are available with varying nicotine content, so you can choose the one that gives you a more enjoyable smoke. If your device is too weak to deliver a good hit, use a powerful voltage device and make sure your clearomizer has an active coil that vaporizes the e-juice most effectively.

If you’re new to vaping, you might just not be using it right if you’re not feeling the nicotine. Take long, slow draws into your mouth and then slowly draw it into your lungs to feel the maximum effect.

Weak vapor – You might notice that your e-cig is producing significantly less vapor than before, which may be due to a weakening device. Batteries die out over time, so try getting a more powerful replacement battery to remedy the problem. Also, look for a high VG content in the PG/VG ratio when buying e-liquid – the thicker consistency of vegetable glycerin tends to produce thicker vapor.
You should take care to clean your device on a regular basis and if you notice nothing else wrong, you should replace the coil in your clearomizer.

Burnt taste – Sometimes you might get a burnt or flavorless hit during a vaping session. If you’ve just refilled your clearomizer with e-liquid, make sure you let it sit for a few minutes to allow it to sink into the wick. If you can’t spare five minutes, you can drip the e-liquid directly onto the atomizer to immediately vaporize it.

Coils and cartridges don’t last forever, so you should make sure that everything is in working order – otherwise, it’s time for a replacement. Typically this is an issue with the coil in your clearomizer, but how you go about replacing the mechanics is dependent on your device. The life span of these parts is dependent on how frequently you use your e-cig, so especially if you’re an active user, be sure to know when to switch out your parts.


Leaking and gurgling sounds – If you’re hearing strange noises being emitted from your e-cig or liquid is leaking from the mouthpiece, you probably have a flooded cartridge. You might have overfilled the chamber, not tightened the clearomizer when screwing it back onto the battery, or the rubber seal between components could be broken. The best solution for this is to clean out your clearomizer and pour out the excess liquid.

How to Use Rebuildable Atomizers

An atomizer consists of three basic parts: a tank to hold the e-liquid, a mouthpiece and a heating element that makes contact with the battery to vaporize the e-liquid. In a rebuildable atomizer, or RBA, the heating element, or coil, and wick are wrapped together. Depending on the model, an RBA may use an O-ring to guard against leaks. On some types of atomizers, all elements, from the tank to the mouthpiece, are replaceable. However, in the world of vaping, the term "rebuildable atomizer" is normally used to describe an atomizer with coils that must be made by the user.

This is not as complicated as it might sound. Anyone with halfway decent manual dexterity, a little patience and - at most - a couple of common household tools can make coils for an RBA. Other than the parts, the only specialty item you might not already have is a multimeter. This is an inexpensive gauge for measuring electrical signals, and you will need it to test the coils you make before you connect your RBA to your battery. The reason that testing is important is that a bad coil can destroy your battery, and potentially, it could cause even more damage.

Most RBAs are less expensive to use over the long term when compared to atomizers with prebuilt replaceable coils. However, on a list of the advantages of an RBA, many users rank financial savings lower than the ability to customize their vaping experience to improve the quality of the vape. Users can choose from a variety of wick materials, ranging from cotton to stainless steel mesh, and each material can alter the taste of the vapor. Therefore, the choice of material depends on your personal preferences.

A rebuild requires only a few simple steps. The first is to drain any e-liquid and disassemble the atomizer. There are normally two screws keeping the coil and wick in place that must be loosened. It is a good idea to wipe everything down; a cotton swab can come in handy for getting into hard-to-reach places.

Most coils are formed by wrapping the wire and the wick together. Beginners should be generous with their lengths, starting with five or six inches of each until they have mastered the process. Once the coil is ready, it's just a matter of winding it and attaching it to the two posts - one negative and one positive - on the RBA. The screws need to be tightened snugly, but they should not be over-tightened as this can draw the coil out of position and cause a short. Although many people need no tools for the operation, others use a small screwdriver for loosening and tightening the screws, and others find that a small pair of needle-nose pliers or plastic tweezers can be beneficial when winding the coil.

Once the coil is in place, it must be tested. A multimeter will display errors if any are found. If no errors are detected, the coil should then be checked for resistance to ensure that readings are within specification. If there are errors, such as an area where the coil is touching itself, they should be corrected and the coil should be tested again. If there are no errors, then the atomizer can be reassembled and vaping can resume.

It is unlikely that a novice will produce a perfect coil on the first attempt. It takes practice to get the hang of it, but for many, the improved taste and financial rewards make it worth the effort. Find out more about the selection of rebuildable atomizers available here at Lite Cig USA.

What is a Drip Tip?

As the e-cigarette revolution continues to grow, vapers are finding new ways to create a more pleasant experience. One element that's gaining popularity is the use of drip tips. These mouthpieces offer several benefits over traditional e-cigs.

Traditional E-Cigs vs. Drip Tips
The traditional e-cigarette uses a battery-powered atomizer and a liquid-filled cartridge that also contains some fiber or foam wicking material. When the cartridge is attached to the atomizer - in cartomizers, they're already combined - the liquid-soaked fiber touches the atomizer's bridge, which then heats the liquid to produce vapor.

A drip tip is essentially a reusable, hollow tube that attaches directly to the atomizer and eliminates the need for a cartridge. Instead, the user adds a few drops of liquid through the center of the drip tip directly onto the atomizer's bridge. New atomizers might require three or four drops to produce adequate vapor while ones that have been used for a while may only need a couple of drops at a time; this could vary with different brands or sizes. Each addition of liquid produces anywhere from five to eight inhalations, depending on how much vapor is drawn each time.

Benefits of Drip Tips
Drip tips have several benefits that create an enhanced vaping experience:

Better Flavor: Both the plastic material of a cartridge and its wicking material can slightly distort vapor flavor, adding an unpleasant taste to the liquid. Using a drip tip removes both these elements for improved flavor.

Quick Use: Instead of detaching a cartridge and inserting a new one when refilling, the user adds drops directly to the atomizer as needed. Additionally, the liquid converts into vapor much quicker than with traditional methods because it doesn't go through any wicking material.

Eliminates Direct Liquid Contact: With a drip tip, there's no chance of liquid from the cartridge getting directly into someone's mouth.

Unrestricted Vapor Flow: Normally, vapor has to travel through a cartridge's small opening, which can mean diminished flow. A drip tip allows for greater flow because vapor travels directly through the hollow mouthpiece.

Less Clogging: Using a drip tip cuts down on clogging in the atomizer thanks to the direct application of liquid.

Style and Customization: Drip tips come in plastic or metal, in a variety of colors and in different shapes. This allows users to customize e-cigarettes to suit their personal preferences. For instance, someone might choose several drip tips in varied colors to match different flavored liquids.

A Couple of Drip Tip Drawbacks
The drawbacks with drip tips are fairly minor. Mainly, a vaper must carry a bottle of liquid for necessary, regular refills. It also takes a bit of practice to learn how much liquid to add and how often. Too little liquid on the atomizer and it creates irritating, dry vapor; this can also damage an atomizer. Too much liquid and the e-cig overflows; however, once learned, this issue disappears. Lastly, drip tips often work only with their own brand of e-cig, which can be limiting.
