FAQ
Q: How long can I expect a pre filled cartridge to last?
Nowhere near as long as the manufacturers claim! Many claim a rather hefty number of cigarettes (as many as 20) as an equivalent to one cart. In reality, one cart is about the equivalent of 5 or 6 cigarettes tops. However, given the price of the carts and the price of e-liquid, this is no big deal. Around three drops of e-liquid seems to equate with roughly one cigarette when using a technique called 'dripping' so it would be fair to say a similar amount applies if topping up your carts with e-liquid.
Q. Can I smoke my Electronic Cig in public spaces?
Your E Cigarette can in theory be smoked anywhere and anytime you want, however it is always advisable to ask for permission first! Unlike normal cigarettes, E Cigs do not contain any of the harmful substances. No actual smoke is involved in smoking an E Cig.
Q. Is Electronic cigarette safe for me?
The e cigarette liquid, which produces the vapour, contains a substance called propylene glycol (PG). This is an organic compound with a faintly sweet and colourless clear viscous liquid. It is this liquid that, when inhaled and exhaled, produces a vapour similar to regular ‘smoke’. This gives the electronic cigarette the same feel of smoking and combines with the nicotine to give the same ‘fix’. This PG present in e cigarette liquid is found in many uses in day-to-day life including food colourings, toothpaste, mouthwash, cosmetics, hand sanitizers, smoke machines and more. As electronic cigarettes are a new technology, there is a lack of knowledge about the long-term effects of inhaling the Propylene Glycol in e cigarette liquid and as such to suggest e cigs are safe is not ‘legal’ until government bodies have been satisfied with clinical trials. It must be known that propylene glycol is used in tobacco cigarettes and is not known to be carcinogenic. So there is a decision to make of continuing to smoke cigarettes with the 4000 known harmful chemicals and carcinogens, or to use electronic cigarettes containing food-grade PG. Electronic cigarettes also contain nicotine, which although is not a known carcinogenic, is addictive and in the right quantity is a known poison. As such, e cigarettes are not intended for use by anyone under 18 years old, and it is advisable to avoid use if you are pregnant, have high blood pressure, heart disease, weak immune system or nicotine allergy.
