Designing oil core separation is driven by several key reasons:
When an e-cigarette is not in use, separating the oil from the atomizing cartridge can prevent prolonged contact between the oil and the cartridge. This helps avoid oil erosion or oxidation, ensuring that the oil's quality remains intact.
To prevent oil seepage through the oil guide cotton into the flue during storage and transportation, particularly for large oil cartridges, adopting this measure can significantly curb leaks, enhancing product quality and user satisfaction.
Cigarette oil enters into the heaters for a long time will be eroded or oxidised, thus affecting the life of the heaters, the oil core separation can reduce this damage and extend the life of the atomizer.
Substances that are eroded or oxidized and fused with the oil can affect the taste of e-cigarettes. However, separating the oil core can prevent this issue, allowing vapers to enjoy a better taste experience.
5.Prevent dry combustion
A particular oil core separation mechanism safeguards users from accidentally dry-firing the atomizer, a common misstep prior to vaping that risks charring the atomizer’s wick, consequently diminishing both flavor quality and device longevity.
II,Principle of Oil Core Separation Technology
Oil-core separation is characterized by a distinct design where the cigarette oil and atomizer core operate as separate components. Before use, the atomizer core must be lifted or inserted into the oil reservoir to ensure full contact, allowing for proper functionality.
1.Silicone lifting stick style.
This form is commonly found in disposable products, but there are also instances of closed-pod change devices, where the principle involves lifting the atomizer core via a silicone rod.
It is worth noting that currently, many electronic cigarette products employ a silicone rod for sealing purposes. However, strictly speaking, this does not qualify as part of the oil core separation technology category. It merely uses the silicone rod to enhance the sealing effect, thereby preventing oil leakage caused by air pressure changes during transportation.
The silicone oil core separation tool features a snap mechanism on one end to easily lift the atomizer core.
This design is prevalent in open-type products, particularly those of high power. It operates on the principle that when inactive, the atomizer core's oil inlet hole remains sealed by the base silicone pad, preventing e-liquid from entering. During use, pressing the atomizer core opens the oil inlet to the reservoir, allowing liquid to flow into the atomizer core.
This design is quite unique, as it operates on the principle of an atomizer core enclosed by an oil-core isolator. The oil inlet holes are concealed, and oil permeates the core by rotating or sliding the isolator, allowing for precise control over oil flow.
Summary
The oil core separation technology effectively mitigates issues such as flavor alteration and oil leakage during the transportation and storage of e-cigarettes, but it is not without drawbacks. These include an increased number of components and a more complex design, which can elevate production costs and manufacturing challenges. The decision on its adoption hinges largely on a company's product positioning, with many opting for this technology in their flagship models.
