What is an e-cigarette or personal vapouriser
An ecigarette or personal vapouriser is a 21 ^st century alternative to smoking real cigarettes

• They look very like real cigarettes
• They smoke like real cigarettes
• They satisfy nicotine cravings like real cigarettes

Do they work
The short answer is yes they do. You may have come across various cheaper models sold in kiosks or on board aeroplanes, you may have even tried one.. Our products are not the same. Technology has advanced and the new e-cigarettes are now  very good at mimicking the sensation of a real cigarettes. The model we sell is one of the most popular and best on the market because:

• It’s very easy to use
• It produces a large amount of vapour
• It gives a good ‘throat hit’ (the feeling associated with drawing on a cigarette)

How do they work
The e-cigarette consists of 2 parts – The battery which is activated when you inhale and the cartridge which contains the atomiser and the liquid. When you draw on the cartridge the battery is activated causing the atomiser contained within the cartridge to vapourise the liquid allowing you to inhale it. The 2 part ecigarette is a new design that makes things very simple for people new to vaping, due to the fact you’re are always starting a cartridge with a fresh atomiser the vapour production and taste is also more consistent.

What is the smoke that is released
It’s not smoke that is released, it is vapour which is mixed with the nicotine contained within the cartridge of the e-cigarette. The vapour gives a sensation very similar to a real cigarette.

What is in the liquid that is vapourised
The liquid that is vapourised consistes of 3 main ingredients - Nicotine (this produces the 'Throat hit'), flavouring (this gives the vapour its taste), and propylene glycol (see below).

Propylene glycol - why is it used in the cartomisers
When used alone, the nicotine and flavourings in e-liquid (the liquid contained in the cartomiser or cartridge) produce no visible vapour. However, when propylene glycol (PG), a slightly sweet, colourless, viscous liquid is added to the e-liquid recipe, a satisfying plume of vapour is the result. When inhaled and exhaled, this vapour not only provides a similar physical sensation to that of inhaling tobacco smoke, it delivers the all-important fix of nicotine to the body via the lungs too. Propylene glycol in other products BP or USP approved propylene glycol is used in cosmetics, toiletries, food colourings, cake mixes, salad dressings, soft drinks and more. It's also used in  inhalers, and smoke/fog machines found in theatres and nightclubs.

There is a good discussion thread on the it at the e-cigarette forum :e-cigarette forum

Does the vapour smell
The vapour smells very slightly of which ever flavour you are using, but disappears almost immediately. It does not cling to clothes or cause any discolouration to walls, teeth or  fingers. It does not smell on your breath or hair either.

Does the ecigarette provide nicotine
Yes it does, the strength can be varied depending on  which strength of cartridge you use: Very High (24mg), High (18mg), Medium (12mg), Low (6mg) or zero (0mg)

Most smokers that like lights will prefer the 12mg or 18mg. Full strength heavy smokers will prefer 24mg

Is it safe
They do not contain tobacco, tar, carbon monoxide and many other things associated with a real cigarette. They also do not involve combustion in anyway. They do however still have risks associated with them, due to the fact they contain nicotine. The risks are the same as those associated with the nicotine intake while smoking a regular cigarette, for instance, increased heart rate.
