The Man Who Invented Vaping: A Homage to Hon Lik. We need to start off by acknowledging another man—Herbert A. Gilbert from Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. In 1963, heavy smoker Gilbert came up with the idea of a battery-powered device with a heating element that could produce vapour—a rudimentary e-cigarette. But the idea never came to fruition. Hon Lik, on the other hand, not only devised a working e-cigarette 40 years later in 2003, he patented the idea and brought it to market in China. He and other companies started exporting to the USA and Europe in 2009, and the rest is history.

An electronic cigarette or e-cigarette is a handheld electronic device that vaporizes a flavored liquid. The user inhales the vapor. Using e-cigarettes is often called vaping. The fluid in the e-cigarette, called e-liquid, is usually made of nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerine, and flavorings. The health risks of e-cigarettes are uncertain. While they are likely safer than tobacco cigarettes, the long-term health effects are not known.

Hon Lik worked day and night to realize his dream. In 2004, he finally invented the electronic cigarette. It was a small battery powered device that delivered nicotine liquid solution in a vaporized form, fog, when inhaled air activates an atomizer. It had a red light at the tip that lighted up with each drag. It did not contain the substances commonly found in regular cigarettes, such as, tar and other cancer causing agents. Hon Lik gave one of the first prototypes to his father, who was also a heavy tobacco smoke and dying of lung cancer at that time. His father enjoyed the electronic cigarette and was happy that with the device there would be fewer sons watching their fathers dying of lung cancers.

Those still vaping over the last month rose from 1.1% to 2.1% and dual use rose from 0.8% to 1.6%. Over the same period, the proportion of grade-6-to-12 students who regularly smoke tobacco fell from 7.5% to 6.7%.

History of Electronic Cigarettes. Blake Brown September 29, 2011. The ecig was first patented by Hon Lik in 2003. While some believe the ecig was first patented in 1963 by Herbert Gilbert, Gilberts invention didn’t produce vapor.

Vaping Started With A Dream. Hon Lik visited London in summer 2015 and presented a dapper, modest figure in various TV interviews. Hon Lik (sometimes known as Han Li, don’t ask, Chinese transliteration is complicated) remembered how he came up with the idea.

An electronic cigarette is a battery-powered vaporizer which simulates the feeling of smoking, but without burning tobacco. The three main types of e-cigarettes are cigalikes, eGos, and MODs. Their use is commonly called vaping. The user activates the e-cigarette by taking a puff or pressing a button.

Vaporizer (inhalation device) A vaporizer or vaporiser is a device used to vaporize the active ingredients of plant material, commonly cannabis, tobacco, or other herbs or blends for the purpose of inhalation. However, they can be used with pure chemicals when mixed with plant material (e.g. tobacco-free nicotine).

The inventor of vaping. My Spectator article on meeting the man who invented vaping, Hon Lik. Few people have heard of Hon Lik, which is a pity because he’s probably saved more lives already than anybody else I have met. Twelve years ago, he invented vaping — the idea of getting nicotine vapour from an electronic device rather than a miniature bonfire between your lips. Vaping is driving smoking out at an extraordinary rate, promising to achieve what decades of public health measures have largely failed to do.

Given that there is no evidence that vaping is harmful, that the toxic contents of vapour are far, far fewer and less abundant than those of smoke, and that most experts think vaping is a thousand times safer than smoking, it is a racing certainty that England would see the better outcome.
