Atomiser (atty)

An atomiser on an electronic cigarette is where the nicotine solution is converted from a liquid to a vapour. Inside the atomiser is a heating coil that gets hot when power from the battery is supplied to it, either by inhaling or pressing a switch. As the coil gets hot it vaporises some of the nicotine solution that comes into contact with it, either from a cartridge or by directly dripping liquid on to it.. It is this vapour that simulates the smoke effect you will see.
