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 is the biggest difference. The white electronic cigarette we sell and the mini electronic cigarette work in the same manner. The regular electronic cigarette (also referred to as the white e-cigarette) is about the size of a pen, while the mini electronic cigarette is just slightly larger than a traditional tobacco cigarette. The nicotine cartridges for the normal sized electronic cigarette tend to last slightly longer than those for the mini.

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 mouth piece. We also have a video about how the electronic cigarette works.

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 for the regular electronic cigarette is approximately equivalent to 15 ot 20 tobacco cigarettes.  The refills for the mini are smaller and are approximately equivalent to 12 to 18 tobacco cigarettes.  Once the cap from a cartridge is removed they can dry out over time.  Also, individuals tend to have different inhalation habits and therefore the exact time a cartridge lasts will vary by user.

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 1 to 3 days under normal use. Both the electronic cigarette and 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 one year replacement warranty.

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

A. We offer both the regular electronic cigarette and the mini as individual units (2 batteries, 1 atomizer, 5 starter nicotine cartridges, 1 charger) and we offer units with additional nicotine cartridges. There are price savings when purchasing a set with additional nicotine cartridge refills. Buy Electronic Cigarettes Here.

I’ve had a lot of questions about how the electronic cigarette works, especially lately since the video we had on the first page has since been pushed down. So, I decided to create a new post and embed the video showing how the electronic cigarette works. This video is of a regular sized electronic cigarette (or e-cigarette as it is often referred to) but the mini e-cigarette works the exact same way…it is just smaller. Enjoy!

Update: We have a new mini electronic cigarette video!

An Electronic Cigarette is not a quit smoking product.  It is however, a replacement to smoking tobacco, which of course is known to be very harmful.  If you have tried products to quit smoking and are back to smoking tobacco cigarettes, you may want to try an electronic cigarette or e-cigarette as it is often known. It looks and acts like a regular cigarette, but rather than burning tobacco, it vaporizes liquid nicotine. The vapor is similar to smoke, but doesn’t smell and doesn’t contain the toxins associated with tobacco smoke. The electronic cigarette may not be for everyone, but if you are looking for an alternative, it may just be for you.

Although the electronic cigarette is not a quit smoking product, I thought I would compare it to others that are. There is no one best way to stop smoking. Some have had success with the cold turkey route, others with natural methods such as CigArrest ( CigArrest Official Site), and still others have quit smoking with medication, nicorette or the nicotine patch. There seems to be a new “best way to stop smoking” every week especially as technology changes. However, many of these methods do not address the physical habit of hand to mouth. The E Cig may not be the answer to stopping smoking, but it does allow the user to continue the smoking motion while slowly reducing the amount of nicotine intake over time. This is done by moving from high to low nicotine cartridges over time. How fast you make that move is, of course, totally up to you.
