Cartomiser

A cartomiser is simply the combination of the atomiser and cartridge into one single unit, making the electronic a simpler two piece system. Originally designed to be a single use unit means that they are relatively cheap compared to a separate atomiser and cartridge system. They are sold either pre-filled or empty so you can fill with your favourite e-liquid. Although designed to a single use unit, most cartomisers can be re-filled multiple times before they start to degrade and need replacing.

They contain a type of polyester wool, wrapped around a central airflow tube, that holds the nicotine liquid. Below this there is a heating coil, as this coil gets hot it vaporises some of the nicotine solution which then travels up the central column as vapour when you inhale on the cartomiser producing a smoke like effect.
