Using your Electronic Cigarette for the First Time
|
To help you get started with your new electronic cigarette kit, here are some tips to using it for the first time:
- Please fully Read the User Manual that accompanied your new kit. Even if you have used an other type of device, instructions to its' use can vary between devices.
|
Charging the batteries
- Ensure you have connected the battery charger into the mains socket and the indicator light shows green.
|
Carefully screw a battery into charger, observing that the battery tip
flashes several times, to ensure it is connected to the charger. When
connected the charger indicator light will show "Red" (Charging the
battery).
When charging is complete the indicator light will turn "Green" (Battery is charged and ready for use).
Preparing your Atomizer
- When you receive your kit for the first time, the
cartridge attached to the atomizer contains no E.liquid, please remove
this cartridge and dispose
- Attach a fresh cartridge from
the cartridge box to the Atomizer, ensuring to remove all protective
covers and seals to the cartridge (to stop the cartridge leaking during
transit), then stand the atomizer on it's base for several minutes to
allow the Atomizer to absorb the E.Liquid.
Using the device for the "First Time"
- When a battery is fully charged attach this battery to the atomizer, fitted with the fresh cartridge.
Note:
If your device is a super e.cig, do not over tighten the atomizer on
the battery. This will restrict the airflow and shorten the cartridge
life. If you loosen the battery approx 15 degrees this will make the
device operate efficiently.
- Inhale gently from the
cartridge observing the battery indicator glowing, and ensuring the
air-intake valve is not covered by your fingers, in short 2 second
inhales, 3 to 4 times, to allow the atomizer to build up the vapour.
Once the vapour has built up, continue to use the device like a
cigarette, inhaling and exhaling the vapour
- Enjoy the feeling of freedom, to enjoy nicotine without the carbon monoxide and tar of tobacco based cigarettes!
Care and maintenance of your electronic cigarette
-
Length of cartridge life:
- This
will depend slightly on what type of smoker you are – heavy or light.
The manufacturers state that one cartridge is equivalent to 20
cigarettes, but our customers have found that one cartridge is roughly
equivalent to 7 – 15 cigarettes.
To clean you atomizer:
- There are several tips on the forums, but the best way is
to get some canned air, and blow this through the atomizer. Blow
through the small hole (i.e the battery end, as this will blow out any
debris), do this last thing at night, and the atomizer is then clean
and ready for use the next day. Don't forget to also blow through the
small side hole in the atomizer.
- If the E.Liquid has
dried onto the atomizer and/or the battery connectors (the gold/brass
area's), using a cotton wool bud and thinners (nail polish remover for
example, used in a well ventilated area), in a circular motion, gently
clean off the dried liquid. This will ensure good electronic
connectivity between the battery and the atomizer.
Before going to bed disconnect the battery from the atomizer,
- batteries can drain over night as they are in standby mode when not being used.
How often to charge your battery:
- When you first receive your kit, your batteries may be
part charged, so you may only need to charge them for a few hours, not
the full 8 hours that the manual states. Once you are using your
Electronic Cigarette, have one battery on charge while you are using
the other, and you may find that in use, one battery will last 3 – 4
hours before needing to be re-charged.
Troubleshooting
Why is my Electronic Cigarette not smoking?
First check that the cartridge has not dried up.
Change your cartridges when the smoke begins to diminish, if you
stand a weak cartridge on its end (opposite end that you draw on) for a
while it will smoke well again.
- Check that the battery is fully charged, if needed try a newly charged battery
- If there is still no smoke, it may be that the atomizer needs to be replaced.
- Try not to drop, bash or sit on your Electronic Cigarette as this will damage the component
parts, protective cases are available via your retailer or the website.
We strongly advice that you have two atomizers, and rotate them
daily, so use one one day, one the next, as they are the work horse of
the Electronic Cigarette, and rotating them appears to prolong their
life. Cleaning them regularly will also help prolong their life.
