What Are the Differences Between A Glassomizer, Clearomizer, and Cartomizer?

Glassomizers, clearomizers, and cartomizers are all used to deliver e-liquid or e-juice to vapers. All they need is a battery and off you go. On the market today, there are several major kinds of vaping devices. They all work on relatively the same basis – they heat your e-fluid to the temperature needed in order for vaporization to occur. Between these three devices, however, there can be no actual loser or winner. It depends largely on the person using the device. So, for the sake of clarification, we will take a closer look at how they’re the same and how they’re different.

Glassomizers Versus Clearomizers

Let’s start out with a simple comparison between these two since they function nearly identically. Both are attached to atomizers and hold e-juice or e-liquid. Then, with the battery of your choice, your vaporizer or electronic cigarette are formed. But there are differences. The tank itself is made up of different materials for each of these. For instance: Pyrex glass is used for the Smok TFV8 Baby Beast glassomizer; but polycarbonate plastic is made for the Kanger Evod clearomizer.

Cons and Pros of Clearomizers

The downfall that most people complain about with clearomizers is that they are prone to erosion. Particularly if you use menthol or fruit e-liquids, the acids will corrode the clearomizer’s poly carbonate plastic.

The upside of clearomizers is, undoubtedly, that they are highly durable. People jam them into their desks, cars, and pockets (they even drop them), but because of their toughness, they don’t break.

Cons and Pros of Glassomizers

Because these are made of glass (the name gives it away) erosion is not a problem. When compared to clearomizers, glassomizers last longer. No erosion also means that you get a tastier vape.

On the other hand, glass breaks. You have to be really careful when you shove this into a pocket, purse, or if you drop it. Additionally, these usually cost more than clearomizers.

Cartomizers

These devices are very similar to atomizers (see below). Around a heating coil, a polyfill wrap is used to make this device. But unlike the atomizer, a longer vape time is allowed by the polyfill soaking up your e- juice. Even larger capacities of e-juice can be contained in cartomizers which are extra-large cylindrical tank housed.

While these devices might hold onto the flavor from a previously used e-juice, dull the flavor somewhat, and are not particularly perfect for the heavy vaper; they are easily rebuilt, easy to refill, low cost, and (again, as opposed to an atomizer) hold more juice.

Bonus Device

Yet another option is an atomizer, which was one of the first devices available in the wonderful world of vaping. If you like dripping, the relatively small capacity offered by an atomizer will work well for you. Different atomizers use metal mesh while others use silica wick. You will constantly need to refill if you vape a lot. And considerable skill is needed to use certain models. It’s also hard to keep track of how it’s much e-fluid you still have left.

On the other hand, they are easy to refill, don’t cost a lot, are designed simply, and allow switching between e-fluids quickly.

By using these basic guidelines and experimenting, you will find the ideal device for your vaping pleasure.
