Electronic Cigarette F.A.Q.

 

Q. Does it feel/taste different than a real cigarette?

A. The Smoke you inhale is vaper so it feels slightly different but the taste and sensation, especially using the Janty Dura, is very similar to smoke, as it is warm and fills your lungs the same. You can get special flavors as well to simulate your cigarette, but obviously it will never be 100% the same. Which is probably good!

 

Q. Why is it probably good!?!?!?!

A. Well for a number of reasons. The vapor doesn’t taint your breath and your g/f or b/f will not be angry with you. It doesn’t ruing the taste of food or stop you from smelling the world!

 

Q. E-Cigarette and a Hookah, what do they have in common?

A. This may seem to come out of left field, but I find the experience with an E-cigarette very similar to that of a Hookah. The flavor is more tastey than a cigarette. The feeling is less harsh than a cigarette due to it being a vapor. However, when you replace cigarettes with an E-Cigarette this is a welcome change, but could take some getting used to. You actually look forward to tasting your e-cigarette after a meal(coffee flavor?) rather than just having to!

 

Q. Hmm well do I still wake up with smoker phlegm?

A. The simple answer is no. When you smoke with an e-cigarette you do not feel like a smoker when you wake up, and any smoker will tell you, it is not fun to have to take a shower to clear your throat in the morning.

 

Q. Do you pull the same as a regular cigarette?

A. It seems from my experience so far, you do not pull the same, you take slightly longer drags, but it doesn’t bother me as much because it is not as HOT as a regular cigarette, which is why we take smaller drags to begin with. You will actually learn techniques as you smoke to fill your mouth or lungs(however you smoke) the way that fits you. I find as I pull it into my mouth, because of the flavored liquids and it being vapor and not smoke I can feel when my mouth is full and it is a pleasant sensation as it fills my mouth and transfer to my lungs and back out again. If anything the blow out is a little lacking due to it distilling through the process.

 

Q. How do I bring my E-Cigarette on a trip with me? Won’t the batteries run out?

A. As with anything electronic the batteries may run out. However there are multiple charging apparatus available such as USB, WALL CONNECTOR, PORTABLE BATTERY POWERED(jantyusa.com), and CAR CHARGERS available.

 

Q. Do I need to have more than one e-cigarette?

A. This really depends on you. As with all electronics, malfunctions can happen. Can you be ok for a few days waiting for replacement parts or warranties to be fulfilled? If not I suggest a second one, however you can also just carry replacement parts with you as well or have them on hand so you never find yourself in a bad state of withdrawal and the need to go back to regular cigarettes. Either you can look to the place you purchased your e-cigarette for backup parts or go to puresmoker.com and get them there.

 

Q. Ok, but what parts should I have extras of?

A. You should have a backup atomizer, battery, and charger. If any of these die you would be SOL. Some things to consider is having extra e-cigarette nicotine liquid with you or cartridges as well to last until your next shipment can arrive.

 

Q. Does the liquid drip out of the e-cigarette?

A. Every now and again, especially if you refill yourself, your e-liquid may drip into your mouth through the pull hole. This is very rare however and not fatal. What is important to note though, is the cartridge on e-cigarettes is not completely sealed, at least on minifoggers and the DSE901 or DURA series. What this means is when you are putting the cartridge on liquid sometimes drips out of the seal onto your fingers. This isn’t really a deal breaker but it can be annoying if you don’t want your fingers to smell. Sometimes the liquid can be sticky too, so it is best to wipe it down after refilling or changing cartridges. But even then some liquid can come out. This may be a surprise for smokers when they make the switch. Not a big deal though, you can still have it in your pocket without worrying about wet pants.

 

Q. Is there any reason why you would get the liquid in your mouth?

A. Some people who switch from smoking to e-cigarettes are used to pulling really hard on them. When you change make sure to take softer longer pulls on your e-cigarette. It will produce better vapor and you will not get liquid in your mouth.

 

Q. What does it mean to have 2 or 4 air holes?

A. All the e-cigarettes have holes that allow you to suck air through them, some have 4 and some have 2 and some have 1. This can make an easier pull and put less strain on the atomizer. It can also decrease amount of vapor depending on brand.

 

Q. How do I know when I am done smoking? It doesn’t burn down so…

A. Well this is an interesting one, first if you smoke real cigarettes you know you sometimes toss a half done smoke cause your body says ok, I’m done. Same with these!(except the throwing part) Your body is pretty smart and will know when you have had your “fix”. I find standing next to a smoker and gauging it off them helps as well, some e-cigarettes have a built in LED to tell you if you smoked more than 12 times in a minute. So you have some checksums. While not the best method and this could probably be improved, your body definitely knows and you start to get used to how much you need to smoke to be well off. You may get a little bit of a head rush in the beginning.

 

Q. Big or small?

A. I think it is nice to have both for different situations, but honestly it depends on if you want more upkeep or less. Larger requires less time refilling or replacing cartridges and charging batteries. And even though you think they are larger it doesn’t feel large in your hand and not even close to a PEN if you stick with the cigarette style ones.

 

Q. Can I just buy the e-cigarette and some cartridges and be done with it?

A. As you can see the e-cigarettes are a little complex to start out. They require refills, part replacement, and maintenance. However if you think of the time you spend going to the store for smokes or activities related, you spend about the same amount of time with either. The difference is you need to learn how to do it all unlike a cigarette and a lighter. So read over this document and I think you will be good to go. It is really quite simple. Liquid, Battery, Cartridge, Atomizer, Charger, and you are good to go.

 

Q. Are there different flavors?

A. Yes. You can check out sites like Jantyusa.com and Johnsoncreeksmokejuice.com for flavors like chocolate, menthol, Marlboro, etc.

 

Q. Can I smoke this in places normally marked for non-smoking?

A. Because this only emits a vapor without smell, you can technically smoke it anywhere, but it really depends on those around you. It would be smart to check with store owners or managers before smoking these in normally sanctioned non smoking areas.

 

Q. Do real smokers make fun of you when you bring this out to the smoking spots?

A. Ha this was a huge concern of mine. When I brought it out I was expecting people to not accept it, instead I have referred about 10 people so far to sites where they can buy these. I actually got a bit of a head rush the first day from having to show how it worked so many times. And now people are used to me with it and even with my new Dura with blue LED people are fine with it. It is actually the talk of the office at the moment. HENCE THE GIANT write up! J

 

Q. But now I have a zippo for no reason? Do I just whip it out of my pocket and smoke?

A. Ok first off the zippo will still be good for when you need to light that special ladies smoke. And I’m grabbing this from “Disman” on the forum ecigforum.com I read about your smoke in the pocket:

“I find that keeping the pieces apart is the best way. Not for technical reasons though. When regularly smoking, you have to open the box, grab a smoke, reach in your pocket and grab your lighter, light up, put the pack and lighter back.
With the components separated, you get some of that “habit” satisfied by having to assemble the e-cig before smoking.”

 

Q. What are some of the terms used by e-smokers?

A. There are quite a few terms used by e-smokers. Vape: to use an e-cigarette. Analog: The name for original cigarettes like marlboro. E-Juice: Liqiud Nicotine refills. More soon!

 

Q. Will the cigarette look a-likes cause me any problems?

A. Just be aware that the closer looking to a cigarette you have, the more you will be questioned, asked to stop, or discriminated against by places sanctioned no smoking, or just by people who despise smoking. So I would say use your best judgment when using the device. Just because WE know it is just vapor doesn’t mean the guy who WANTS to light up or the mom with kids knows.

 

Q. Where is a good place to find out more information about e-smoking?

A. A great place is the community. There are lots of e-smokers out there like you and me and a few forums that facilitate it as well. I recommend: http://e-cigarette-forum.com and http://ecigforum.com. I was able to make a lot of my first decisions and learn a lot more tricks and tips this way. Be careful though it can CONSUME YOU!
