Comparison of Cotton and Ceramic Cores in Vape

From the birth of electronic cigarettes to the present, the atomization core has gone through approximately three iterations (or three major materials). The first one was fiberglass rope, later cotton core, and then ceramic core. These three materials can all adsorb e-liquid, and then achieve atomization effect after heating with a heating wire.
Each of the three materials has its own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of fiberglass rope is that it is cheap, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to break. The main advantage of cotton core is that it has the best taste restoration, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to burn. The industry is called cotton core, which will absorb a burnt taste. The advantage of ceramic cores is that they have good stability, are not easily broken, and do not burn. However, with current technology, all materials have the risk of oil leakage.
Glass fiber rope: The earliest atomizing oil guiding material in the early development of electronic cigarettes was glass fiber rope.
It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, strong oil absorption, and fast oil transfer speed, but when it is still exposed without absorbing smoke oil, it is easy to produce flocculent substances. Between 2014 and 2015, due to concerns among many e-cigarette users about the phenomenon of glass fiber rope falling into the lungs, this material was gradually phased out by mainstream equipment both domestically and internationally.
Cotton core: Currently, the mainstream atomization core material for large smoke electronic cigarettes.
Compared to the previous fiberglass oil guide rope, it is safer and the smoke is fuller and more realistic. The cotton core structure is in the form of heating wire winding cotton, and its atomization principle is that the heating wire is used for atomization decoration, and the cotton is made of oil guiding material. During the operation of the smoking set, the smoke is produced by atomizing the smoke oil absorbed by the heating wire heating cotton.
The biggest advantage of cotton core lies in its taste! The restoration of the flavor of tobacco oil is better than that of ceramic cores, and the amount of smoke is also more dense. However, the power of the tobacco rod is not completely constant, which can lead to overall performance fluctuating. Often, the first few mouthfuls perform exceptionally well, but the user experience decreases further. There may also be smoke fluctuations in the middle. The phenomenon of cotton core sticking is prone to occur when the power of the cotton core is too high or has been used for a period of time, and the sudden excessive power leading to dry burning of the cotton core cannot be ignored, while ceramic cores do not have this concern.
The phenomenon of unstable output power can be optimized through chips, for example, INS e-cigarettes achieve stable power output through low voltage to ensure that the taste of each puff is basically consistent under different battery levels.
Ceramic core: Made of mainstream atomization core material for small smoke.
Ceramic atomization cores are more delicate and smooth to inhale than cotton cores, but the degree of reduction in the flavor of tobacco oil is slightly lower than that of cotton cores. In fact, the main advantage is stability and durability, which is also why many merchants prefer ceramics. Ceramics rarely have the phenomenon of core sticking like cotton cores, and there is almost no difference in the fullness and taste of smoke under constant voltage.
If you like the fuller and more realistic feeling of smoke, choose cotton core. If you like the subtle taste, choose ceramic.
Cotton core and ceramic core are not incompatible. Each has its own audience, and only by continuously improving itself can we better serve users.
Tips: The advantage of cotton chips is their high playability, with many quantifiable indicators that are constantly changing, making them suitable for players. Ceramics, on the other hand, are standardized products that are suitable for large-scale production, with high efficiency, and each side has its own market and audience.
