FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Electronic Cigarette & E-Liquid

An Electronic Cigarette enables you to simulate smoking with less harmful effects of smoking tobacco or any other substance. It is NOT intended to be a nicotine replacement therapy. It is designed for those that have no intention to quit, for those that have tried to quit and found it too hard and for those that enjoy the sensation of smoking but wish to avoid the same harmful effects of tobacco.

IT IS IN NO WAY INTENDED TO BE A TESTED AND PROVEN AID IN QUITTING SMOKING ~ Not smoking a real cigarette as a result of e-Smoking is simply a bonus!

It is difficult for many smokers to quit because of the feel of the smoke in their mouths, visibly seeing smoke on the exhale, the feel of holding a cigarette, the hand to mouth habit and the intake of nicotine. The e-Cig comes close to all of these with the following benefits:

	No inhalation of over 4000 chemicals & 60 carcinogens found in the burning of a cigarette.
	No tar whatsoever to clog the lungs.
	A "safer than cigarettes" environment for family, friends and children.
	No toxic & nasty smelling passive smoke produced for others to put up with.
	20% to 30% the cost of smoking packets of cigarettes.

	Able to change flavors and strengths easily at any time.
	No Burning of Tobacco or any other substance.
	No smoke produced which often gets in the eyes causing pain.
	No smell left on clothes/in car/hands/mouth/carpets etc.
	No ashtrays/lighters/cigarette butts.
	No risky cigarettes to cause a fire.
	No dangerous lighters or matches left where children have access.
	e-Cigs don't burn away, no wastage.
	No longer have to brave inclement weather to smoke outside.
	It's only Vapor - NO actual Smoke produced, e-Cig without Guilt!

How much does it REALLY COST? - APPROX $10-$15 per WEEK

How does an electronic cigarette work?
Electronic cigarettes use a self-contained battery powered atomizer to vaporize a great tasting and odorless liquid. e-Liquids produce the same sensation (throat hit & smoke-like vapor) of conventional cigarettes but without the carcinogens of burning tobacco.

The user simply inhales on the electronic cigarette and this causes an air flow sensor to power up the atomizer via an inbuilt microprocessor. The liquid in the cartridge is slowly vaporized. A water based vapor is released and it resembles smoke.

Note: This is Vapor, NOT smoke, as no burning has taken place to cause smoke.

What is in the Cartridge or e-Liquid?
The cartridge is a mixture of liquid-nicotine, tobacco extract flavorings and / or a combination of Propylene glycol (PG) and Glycerin (VG). We do not recommend mixing any of our e-Liquids with other brands, additives or products.

What powers the device?
A rechargeable lithium ion battery. They do a great job but wear out faster than in other appliances due to higher performance requirements of an e-Cig and smaller battery size.

Battery Charging
Try to have a minimum of 3 batteries and 2 chargers to ensure never having to wait for a battery.

What strength is recommended for a good Throat Hit/Nic Hit?
Start with an 16MG (Medium) e-Liquid and if the throat hit is too much or too little, change to higher or lower strength until you are satisfied.

Advanced Users

What is that burning taste?
This is a sign that the cart has run dry and the cart insert has heated up. Usually occurs due to the user trying to get the last drop out of an expensive pre-filled cart. Top up cart immediately. Fluid is your friend - top up regularly to avoid this problem.

Tips

If you feel you miss the hit of a real cigarette in the morning, have a HIGH 24 e-Cig ready. Then go back to lower ones during the day if desired.

A dry atomizer will shorten its life and at worst will burn it out - destroying it. Keep the cart moist at all times and if at ANY time you taste a burnt taste, pop the Cart off and fill it and also add some drops of e-Liquid directly onto the atomizer. This will prolong its life. Using pre filled carts is not only expensive but some during the manufacturing process are not full (which can damage your atomizer). Also because of the cost of pre filled carts, many users try to use up every last drop but this only results in the expense of replacing damaged atomizers.

Some e-Cigs will enter a cleaning period signaled by heating of the atomizer and the battery light continually flashing. If at anytime you see this, disconnect the battery to stop it cleaning the atomizer. This was an inbuilt feature of the electronics, determined when they were designed and only serve to severely reduce the life of an atomizer and supplying a burning taste. So avoid if possible. Approximately triggered when the battery counter is in the vicinity of 1500 puffs - and regardless of which atomizer is in the e-Cig.
