I've moved from Australia (Melbourne specifically) where the counter-counter culture is to smoke roll your own cigs. Since moving to the US I've stopped smoking because:
a) I couldn't find a brand of roll your own tobacco I liked
b) none of my friends here smoke
I really do miss the ritual of "creating and smoking" a cigarette. I can't really see any of the e-cig brands coming out with anything that mimics that ritual.

The heating element in the atomiser, a coil of resistance wire wrapped around some sort of wick, is consumable. Either the whole atomizer (in the case of a cartomizer) or the atomizer head (in the case of most clearomizers) has to be replaced every few months. Rebuildable atomizers are made so that you can make your own heating coil and wick instead of throwing out the cartomizer or head. There's a lot of technique to making good coils, almost like a craft. It's also possible to mix you own liquid from ingredients.
