Core products

1. Porous carbon atomized core

The porous carbon atomizing core is a new generation of atomizing core invented by the project based on the original technology. It has applied for a number of patents. It is the first all-carbon atomizing core in the world. Its oil absorption, oil conduction and heating parts are all carbon materials. Its porosity is 65 ± 5%, its average pore size is 12 ± 4 μm, its median pore size is 9 ± 3 μm, its compressive strength is 11-12 MPa, and its resistivity is flexible and adjustable. The resistance value can be designed to be any value in the range of 1.0-1.8Ω according to the use requirements of the conventional electronic atomizer. Compared with the existing ceramic atomizing core sold in the market, the production process of the porous carbon atomizing core is green and efficient, and the cost is lower than that of the ceramic core; The oil absorption and guide performance is superior to that of a ceramic core, a bowl-shaped structure does not need to be designed, the ceramic core can be directly cut, processed and formed, and the assembly is simpler; a metal heating circuit and a grid do not need to be printed or inlaid, and the heating body is of a porous structure, so that the atomization area is larger, and the problem of carbon deposition in the heating and atomization process is avoided; More importantly, the atomizing amount of the porous carbon atomizing core is 1-5mg/puff higher than that of the ceramic core, while the power consumption is 0.5-1.5 W lower than that of the ceramic core, so the use experience of the consumer is better, the energy consumption is lower, and the electronic atomizer can last longer; At the same time, because the atomization area is larger and there is no metal heating catalysis, the release concentration of aldehydes in the porous carbon atomization core is lower than that in the ceramic core, which can provide safer and healthier products for consumers.
