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.
