What is the Electronic Cigarette?

The electronic cigarette or e-cigarette is a revolutionary, innovative electric smoking device which offers the smoking community a healthier smoking alternative to the traditional tobacco cigarettes. Using advanced technology, the electronic cigarette allows for the smoking experience without the flame, ash tobacco, tar, carbon monoxide, or horrible and offensive smell found in traditional cigarettes. As the electronic cigarette is free of tobacco, it does not contain the thousands of harmful carcinogens typically found in tobacco products. With no offensive second hand smoke, the electronic cigarette offers a safer, healthier environment to both you and the non-smoking community. Simply put, there is no longer a need for anyone to breathe the unwanted, dangerous second hand smoke produced by traditional tobacco cigarettes.

What is a Refill Cartridge?

Like printers and pens are consumable products, so are the electronic cigarettes. When a cartridge is empty, it needs to be replaced with a new one. Refill cartridges carry the liquids which produce your vapour. They are interchangeable with the electronic cigarettes and come in a variety of different flavours. This means you dont have to stick with the flavour you purchased in your first kit. Most of our products are sold with tobacco or mint flavour cartridges which are comparable to traditional menthal cigarettes, be sure to select the desired flavour when placing your order. You must also select which strength of nicotine you require in your refill cartridge. cartridges are available in 0mg which contains no nicotine, 6mg comparable to light cigarettes, 12mg comparable to medium strength cigarette brands and 18mg which is the highest strength that can be purchased.

Note that the cartridge itself can be refilled using E-liquids which we also stock. this is generally cheaper and environmentally friendly as you are recycling rather than disposing. The way it wordls is E-liquid is dropped into the polyester material found in the cartridge.

How long does one cartridge last?

This can vary and is dependent upon how you choose to puff on the cigarette. One average the time you should use it should last a little longer than a traditional packet of cigarettes. We generally advise that one cartridge is equivalent to 15 - 20 cigarettes based on a heavy smoker. Once you have purchased the electronic cigarette you will be better placed to answer this question based on your personal use. 

Are there any dangerous side effects I should know about?

No unless you are allergic to any of the substances used. Liquids generally contain Propylene Glycol made of water and essential oils, Nicotine, Composition Flavouring (generally used in baking properties) Linalool which is found in many flowers and Vanilla extracts.  There have been health professionals testing the chemicals for years with little evidence to suggest dangerous side effects. ( As previously stated Nicotine is an entirely optional ingredient and we offer the following dosage levels, 6mg, 12mg or 18mg. The choice is yours to decide on what strength is best suited to your requirements.  If you have any concerns you can read about Health & Safety on our About us link at the top of the page.
