E rig

"E-rig" is the abbreviation of "Electronic Rig" (electronic smoking device). You can think of it as an integrated, battery-powered intelligent "electronic version" of the traditional smoking device. 
It is mainly designed for heating concentrated substances (such as wax, sand, resin, etc.), and by precisely controlling the temperature, it generates steam for inhalation.
