The third component is the internal battery which is a rechargeable lithium-ion part. The battery is the largest component whose main function.
Some of the advantages of electronic cigarettes include the fact that they are quite odorless since no combustion is involved. This also means that the user can smoke freely without the fear of irritating non-smokers. The user also ends up saving a lot more money in the long run since most of its parts are reusable and refillable. E-cigarettes can be used in areas which have traditionally been prohibited to tobacco cigarettes. There are many other advantages of e-cigarettes but I am that the above mentioned will be sufficient to prove the merits of the electronic cigarette.
