FAQ's

I'm totally new to vaping, where do I start?

First things first… You’re going to need a STARTER KIT. This includes the charger for the battery, the battery (bottom bit) and a clearomizer (top bit).

The clearomizer has a coil or head which heats up the e-liquid, creating vapour. Every 2 weeks on average (depending how often you use the unit) this coil or head will burn out. You will be able to either taste the burn, or it will eventually stop creating vapour. In the majority of our clearomizers this coil or head can be replaced, saving you money on buying new clearomizers.

Now the e-liquid, with all the flavour and percentages it can seem a little confusing, but I assure you it isn’t. As with food and drink, you’ll never know which one is for you until you try it. However, Virginia Tobacco, Menthol Special Blend and Strawberry Bliss are popular choices which never seem to disappoint.

The percent is the amount of nicotine in the e-liquid. For example 1.8% = 18mg. Our 1.8% is based on a 20 per day smoker. For those who would like a little more we have 2.4%, and for those who would like a little less, we have 1.2%, 0.6% and 0.0%.

We understand this can all be a little overwhelming, if you still need a little help, please do not hesitate to contact one of our friendly staff via email who will be more than happy to set you up!

So how long will a bottle of e-liquid last me?

Everyone is different! Some people like to puff away all day and other people like to stick to their designated ‘vaping’ breaks. As a rough guide, an average 20 a day smoker of traditional cigarettes gets through a 10ml bottle every 10 days or so.

What strength should I be vaping?

The strength of e-liquid needed correlates with the number of tobacco cigarettes smoked per day

If smoking in excess of 20 per day then 2.4% is advised.

If smoking around 20 per day then 1.8% is advised

If smoking around 10 per day then start at 1.2%

If you are using an e-cig to help you stop smoking then reducing your e-liquid strength to 0.6% can be achieved within 3 – 6 months of vaping if desired.

Why has my e-liquid changed colour?

Some of our e liquids change colour as they mature. This does not impact their flavour whatsoever!

When most people think of an electronic cigarette, they think it’s ‘like smoking’. In fact, there is no ‘smoke’ involved, merely water vapour.

What does 'vaping' actually mean?

The term ‘vaping’ and ‘to vape’ is merely describing the action of using an electronic cigarette. If you enjoy vaping, you might even call yourself a ‘vaper’.

What do the government think about e-liquid/vaping?

The UK Cabinet Office published a report in 2011 recommending that electronic cigarettes should become more widely available in the UK as they are preferable to using traditional tobacco products.

OK, but what are the health issues?

Electronic cigarettes do NOT contain tobacco so they do not burn in the same way as traditional cigarettes. They do not produce ash, carbon monoxide, benzene or any of the other dangerous by-products which result from burning tobacco.

The vaporization process produces no smell or residue. People nearby do not face the passive smoking dangers that are associated with traditional cigarettes.

Scientific research carried out so far has concluded that electronic cigarettes are substantially less harmful than traditional cigarettes. One study has concluded that the risks are equivalent to those of using nicotine patches. Vapouriz electronic cigarettes are not for the use of those under 18 and they should always be kept away from children. They are not recommended for women who are pregnant or breast feeding.
