As with any hobby or lifestyle, there are certain words that are only associated with that trend. Think about a sport for example: where else are you going to hear the term “catcher’s mitt?” A catcher’s mitt is clearly a baseball term that isn’t going to be applied anywhere else. It’s also a tool that’s used to help play the game. Let’s take a look at a very important tool that helps vapers use their electronic cigarette!

A cartomizer is a very special piece of equipment that you’re not going to find anywhere else except in use with an electronic cigarette. Even then, cartomizers are only used with a specific type of electronic cigarette kit. But what is it used for and why do we need it?

What is it?

A cartomizer is a piece of equipment that is comprised of an atomizer and cartridge all in one, which connects to the battery. This is where your eLiquid is filled so that you can vape. In other electronic cigarettes, the cartomizer would be replaced by a cartridge and an atomizer.

What is it used for?

A cartomizer is used to hold eLiquid in a “reservoir” type of container until it’s released to be vaporized. Because it includes the cartridge and the atomizers, all of the vaporizing is done in the same unit, making it more efficient with better vapor production.

Why do we need it?

A cartomizer is a key piece of the puzzle for anyone using an electronic cigarette! This is where the good stuff it: eLiquid and the atomizer. Without this crucial piece of the puzzle, you don’t have much of an eCig – just a battery and an LED.

Cartomizers are an essential part of electronic cigarettes, just like a catcher’s mitt is crucial for a catcher in baseball. Once you learn about what it is and how it’s used, you can better understand how it applies to you!
