IS E-CIGARETTE HARMFUL THAN ORDINARY CIGARETTE?

Anchor 1

Indeed, there is a great deal of ignorance and misunderstanding on this issue in society, so many, without knowing the facts or the exact details, do claim that an electronic cigarette is more harmful than usual. However, it is not.

We are not tired of telling our customers that electronic cigarettes are no more harmful than usual. On the contrary, according to a 2015 study by the British Public Health England, e-cigarettes are 95% safer than regular cigarettes. Link to the study (in English)  

I would like to say that e-cigarettes are only harmful to tobacco manufacturers, but people have realized that this is the way to go:

  • How to save money;

  • How to avoid the smell of regular cigarettes;

  • How to quit smoking;

  • Get rid of "pipe cough", shortness of breath and other health problems.

The most harmful thing in regular cigarettes is tar. Because e-cigarettes do not burn, they do not contain tar and do not harm your health.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN E-CIGARETTE AND A VAPE TYPE?

Anchor 2

To make the first experience not too complicated, we recommend choosing the Ego type cigarette, which is very simple to use, maintain and operate. These types of cigarettes are generally recommended for those who want to quit using regular cigarettes. Starting with these devices, the customer gets acquainted with the operation of the e-cigarette and decides on further steaming habits. This e-cigarette resembles the inhalation of a cigarette, giving a “throat throat like a regular cigarette does. It should be noted that they are also cheaper than veip type devices.

However, if you want more steam, a more pronounced taste, a longer battery life and a more efficient steaming experience, we recommend choosing a veip type device. Devices of this type are much more powerful, their power, often temperature, can be regulated, because the device has a display where you can see the battery level, evaporator resistance, power, etc.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO BUY A DEVICE IF I HAVE NOT AGED 18?

Anchor 3

No, because the law of the Republic of Latvia stipulates that a person must have reached the age of majority in order to purchase any device, liquid or accessory intended for an electronic cigarette. It also stipulates that a person between the ages of 18 and 25 is obliged to present an identity document to the retailer when purchasing tobacco products, herbal smoking products, an electronic smoking device or an electronic smoking device refill tank, whether or not the retailer has requested it.

HOW TO TURN THE DEVICE ON / OFF?

Anchor 4

The e-cigarette can be switched on and off 5 times in a row by quickly pressing the button on the battery. Hold down the button to start steaming by inhaling the steam.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO MOIST THE EVAPORATOR BEFORE USE?

Anchor 5

Whenever you change the evaporator, it must be prepared by sufficiently moistening it with the liquid of your choice. This must be done so that the spiral in the evaporator does not burn the wool in it, which can lead to an unpleasant burning smell. Proper preparation of the evaporator ensures its longer service life.

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO CHANGE THE EVAPORATOR, HOW CAN I KNOW WHEN TO DO IT?

Anchor 6

On average, the evaporator lasts 1.5 - 2 weeks. Of course, it depends on your steaming habits - how often you steam, what liquid you use, etc.

The need to replace the evaporator is indicated by the amount of steam (it will decrease), the already mentioned taste of burning and the feeling of dryness in the throat during steaming.

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO CHARGE A DEVICE, HOW CAN I KNOW WHEN TO DO IT?

Anchor 7

If the device does not have a display showing the battery charge level, this is also indicated by the decrease in steam and the colors of the indicators. That is, if it is red, it means that the device needs to be charged. If green, the device is charged.

Indicator color warnings may vary by manufacturer. The operating instructions must be read carefully to determine the correct time of charging. Approximate charging time: 2 - 2.5 hours.

WHAT DOES E-LIQUID CONSTITUTE, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM?

Anchor 8

Electronic cigarette liquid consists of Propylene Glycol (PG), Vegetable Glycerin (VG), distilled water and a food flavoring for e-cigarettes. Propylene glycol is more liquid, it is responsible for a richer taste, more pronounced "throat hit".

Vegetable glycerin, in contrast to Propylene Glycol, is markedly thicker, producing more intense steam and does not "cut" in the throat. Traditionally, these two substances are mixed in such a way as to obtain an optimal result in taste and vapor content. VG 50% / PG 50; VG 80% / PG 20%; PG 60% / VG 40% and others

Liquids mainly differ in taste, thickness and nicotine content.

HOW CAN I MIX THE LIQUID?

Anchor 9

A base consisting of Propylene Glycol and Glycerin will be required to mix the liquid with the amount, taste and thickness of the nicotine of your choice; your favorite essence and Nicotine boster. (All these components can be purchased in SB stores). In the DIY section, the figure shows the doses for each amount of fluid. (30ml, 60ml, 120ml).

The liquid should stand for about 5-7 days. In a dark place, out of reach of children.
