 What is an e-cigarette?

An electronic cigarette commonly known as an e-cigarette is a device that imitates tobacco smoking but in a different way, it consist of an atomizer, which we will get in a bit and a power source like battery and a container such as a cartridge or tank. Instead of smoke its user inhales vapor. That's why it's also known as vaping.

 Battery :

There are a lot of lithium batteries but few of them are suitable for vaping. The three main types of them are ICR, IMR and Hybrid. So which one is better in these 3 ? Actually it has been established that IMR batteries are safer chemistry than ICR's.
