FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

An electronic cigarette is a nicotine delivery system which provides an alternative way to administer nicotine via a battery, and liquid container.

There are three main parts to an electronic cigarette, the battery, vapourising chamber and the cartomiser/clearomiser. The Battery and cartomiser/clearomiser connect to each other to create the Electronic Cigarette. The battery provides power to the cartomiser/clearomiser and the cartomiser/clearomiser is the section which stores and heats up the E-Liquid turning it to vapour. As the E-Liquid is vapourised and once inhaled, it gives you a dose of nicotine, a taste of flavour and once exhaled a cloud of vapour giving you a complete smoking effect.

The liquid we use in most of our products contain liquid nicotine, and base ingredients to create a smooth flavour. This base consists of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG). Propylene glycol is used for its ability to create artificial smoke, which is the vapour you see. Vegetable glycerin is a clear, odourless liquid produced from plant oils and used to enhance the flavour. Our Liquids have mixes containing 80% PG/VG 20% to 50% PG/VG 50%.  PG and VG are combined with natural or artificial flavours which creates a unique and satisfying vape.

Electronic cigarette batteries come in many different shapes and sizes. Most importantly, we have found that battery life or duration can directly be measured by the individual battery’s mAh (milli Ampere hour).

Another important finding regarding electronic cigarette batteries is the direct correlation between battery life or longevity and physical size of the battery. For example, disposables are small in physical size as they are designed to look very similar to tobacco cigarettes. They therefore also feature ‘smaller’ batteries around 180 mAh. On the other hand, typical hybrid batteries would be in the range of 400 mAh – 650 mAh. MOD systems have an even greater range of battery size and ultimately life, many times in the area of 1200 mAh to as much as 3500 mAh.

The key distinction to make in discerning battery life is recognising the fact that the larger the battery in mAh, the larger the battery is in physical size and ultimately the longer the battery will last upon being fully charged.

 All our batteries are lithium and dependent upon use should last the user approximately 6 months. We recommend only charging using 10 Motives or Cirro chargers, as using any other manufacturer’s chargers could reduce the life span and potentially hazardous. If a fault occurs within 3 months of the purchase date we will happily replace the faulty battery. Should this happen please contact our customer service department. You must retain the battery in order for us to have it tested and also provide proof of purchase.
