E Cigarette FAQ

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the electronic cigarette lately. Most are found in various places on the site, but for ease of use, I will try to give a few quick answers and the most frequently asked questions and the electronic cigarette.

Q. What is the difference between an e-cigarette and an electronic cigarette and an e smoke?

A. Nothing….just various names for the same product.

Q. What is the difference between the electronic cigarette and the mini electronic cigarette?

A. Size. The white electronic cigarette we sell and the mini electronic cigarette work in the same manner. The regular E-Cigarette (also referred to as the white e-cigarette) is about the size of a pen, while the Mini E-Cigarette is about the size of a traditional tobacco cigarette. The mini comes with 5 starter nicotine refills, while the regular comes with 5.

Q. How does the electronic cigarette work?

A. The electronic cigarette is essentially three parts; the battery, which screws into the atomizer, where the mouth piece/nicotine cartridge fits into. When you inhale, the atomizer vaporizes a small amount of the liquid nicotine in the cartridge which is then delivered through the inhaler.

Q. Does the vapor smell?

A. The vapor is exhaled and appears like smoke, but does not smell. The liquid nicotine contained in the cartridge does have a slight odor of the flavor of the cartridge.

Q. What are the nicotine levels?

A. A nicotine cartridge can come in high, medium, low and no nicotine levels. This is the amount of nicotine in a cartridge. If you are a heavy smoker or smoke cigarettes with no filter, we recommend starting with high. Smokers of mild or light cigarettes should try the medium. Over time we recommend moving down to low and then no nicotine to completely break the addiction.

Q. What flavors are available?

A. We offer Tobacco, Marlboro, Mint, Apple, or Strawberry flavored nicotine cartridges.

Q. How long does one refill cartridge last?

A. Each nicotine cartridge is approximately equivalent to one pack of 20 tobacco cigarettes.

Q. How will I know when a nicotine cartridge needs to be replaced?

A. When inhaled, no vapor will be present. This will let you know you need to replace the cartridge.

Q. Do you need to turn on the electronic cigarette?

A. No, when inhaled the electronic cigarette will automatically activate. There is no on/off switch.

Q. How long does a battery last?

A. The battery life will vary greatly with use, but on average 3 to 5 days. The mini electronic cigarette come with 2 batteries and a charger so you never need to go without your electronic cigarette.

Q. Will the electronic cigarette help me quit smoking?

A. There is no guarantee that using the electronic cigarette will help you quit smoking, but many have had success using it.

Q. Is there a warranty?

A. Our products come with a three months replacement warranty.

Q. Where do I buy and should I get a set?
