Everything you need to know about buttonless electronic cigarettes
Have you ever heard of automatic e-cigarettes?
They are often considered as the most suitable models for novice vapers, especially for those who love practicality and comfort. And if you’re thinking about quitting smoking by substituting e-cigarettes for cigarettes, you may have decided to buy one of these devices.
Is that so?
If these are your intentions, before making a final decision, I invite you to read the following article in which I will explain how automatic electronic cigarettes work and what aspects you should take into consideration before buying one.
How do automatic e-cigarettes work?
As a rule, electronic cigarettes are activated via a special button included in the battery or in the box mod: when pressed, the device delivers energy that heats the resistance and vaporizes the e-cig liquid.
The automatic electronic cigarette, on the other hand, does not have this button, but is activated automatically when the vaper brings it to his mouth and draws from the drip tip.
This ignition mechanism is integrated into various devices, including:
- totally disposable models that include a few ml of liquid for electronic cigarettes. Once the latter is exhausted, the e-cig can no longer be used, but must be disposed of correctly according to local regulations governing separate collection;
- pod mods, i.e. models equipped with a disposable cartridge which, once exhausted, must be replaced with a new one. The supplied battery, on the other hand, can be reused several times;
- devices equipped with an atomizer. However, it should be noted that automatic activation is very rarely applied on the latter and that, in most cases, it is integrated on portable models and with small batteries.
Automatic e-cigarettes: the best devices for those who are starting to vape?
The main advantage of automatic electronic cigarettes is convenience: thanks to their particular activation system, vaping becomes a more natural gesture. From this point of view, we can also say that these devices more faithfully reproduce the typical gestures of smokers.
Let’s think about this aspect.
When a smoker brings the cigarette to his mouth to take a puff, obviously he doesn’t have to press any buttons: he just inhales. As a result, e-cigarette models that activate automatically are perceived as more cigarette-like than those with a button.
The same can be said about their physical characteristics: since automatic electronic cigarettes are usually light, narrow and elongated in shape, they look more like cigarettes than more advanced models such as box mods.
For these reasons, vaping devices without activation buttons are enjoying considerable success among novice vapers looking for a practical and easy-to-use solution.
Why you should prefer traditional models to automatic ones
Based on what we explained in the previous paragraph, you might think that the automatic electronic cigarette is the best alternative for those who want to start vaping.
However, I would like to reason with you on one particular aspect.
Anyone who decides to quit smoking by switching to the electronic cigarette finds themselves in a delicate situation: the risk of smoke a cigarette again is very real and it is crucial to quickly find an e-liquid that suits your tastes to avoid falling back into the habit. Otherwise, in fact, dissatisfaction could push the smoker to resume smoking.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to find the most suitable liquid immediately: it is often necessary to experiment with several before identifying the ideal one.
“Ok, but what does all this have to do with automatic e-cigarettes?”.
It does come in.
As I explained to you earlier, in most cases the automatic electronic cigarette models are disposable or pod mods, two types that do not offer a wide choice of e-liquid flavors. It is a typical defect of all devices that work with preloaded cartridges.
On the contrary, a traditional electronic cigarette equipped with an atomizer offers the possibility of vaping any type of liquid on the market, including DIY ones. Sure, learning how to use them is a little more complicated than the buttonless ones, but it’s a small price to pay for reducing the risk of smoking again and hurting yourself with cigarrettes, don’t you think?

In conclusion
In this article we have explained how automatic e-cigs work and what the pros and cons of these devices are.
They are commonly considered as the best alternative for those who have just started vaping and are looking for a model that is easy to use and similar to traditional cigarettes. And, in some cases, they can really be the ideal choice!
Often, however, these devices increase the risk that those who use them will find the vape unsatisfying and take the cigarettes back into their hands.
For this reason, we advise all smokers who wish to quit once and for all to purchase an electronic cigarette equipped with an atomizer, so as to drastically increase the chances of finding a satisfying liquid and forever banish the temptation to resume smoking.
