How To Use

Vapourlites™ How To Use:

Electronic cigarettes are a new phenomenon and many are unsure how to use them, how they charge and so on. We have put this simple page together, hopefully outlining all the aspects of how to use a Vapourlite, however if you need any other queries answering please use our 'contact us' page and we'll be only too pleased to help out.

Q. Vapourlites Inhaling Technique for beginners
A. Moving from tobacco to electronic cigarettes needs a little time and patience. Although this is not a long or complicated process, most users make the transition to electronic smoking without difficulty; however frustrations can arise when learning how to inhale.

Initially there’s a tendency to inhale from your Vapourlite using short, quick puffs in the same way they would inhale from a tobacco cigarette. For the required effects to receive the full feeling, we recommend that you take more controlled, longer and slower puffs.

• You should inhale slow and steady for at least 3-5 seconds for the best experience and sensation and retain the vapour for a couple of seconds before exhaling.
• Take in the vapour (lung inhale) or hold the vapour in your mouth, similar to the technique used to smoke.

The above methods will provide a nicotine hit, however the choice is yours. Therefore a few long and deep inhales will return the same effect as a regular cigarette.

An average smoker should need to inhale no more than 7 times from a Vapourlite to receive the full effect. Many Vapourlite users ARE satisfied with just 2 to 5 correct puffs.  The advantage over tobacco cigarettes is you only need inhale a couple of times at your leisure and then resume later without wasting a full cartomizer.

How long you inhale for and how deep you inhale will affect the lifetime of the cartomizer. We say each cartomizer delivers an approximate maximum of 400 puffs based on an approximate 2 second inhale. However, inhaling for 3-5 seconds will provide a better smoking experience and affect, but will reduce the lifespan. A new Vapourlites smoker is likely to consume more cartomizers initially while adjusting to using the e-cigarette and consume fewer cartomizers once familiar.

Q. The process to charge a VL4 should be as follows:
A. When you notice the blue light (tip) on the end of your Vapourlite starting to flash whilst inhaling, it's time to recharge.

Untwist the battery (white end) from the Cartomizer (filter end)

Screw the battery into the USB adapter and then slot into your PC/Laptop or USB power outlet.

Once in the USB power outlet, you can identify when the battery is charging as the blue tip will illuminate.

Depending on how low your battery is, the recharge time normally lasts up to 2-3 hours.

You will know when it is recharged fully as the blue top will no longer be illuminated.

You can then remove from USB power outlet, unscrew from adapter and then re-attach to a cartomizer.

That completes the recharging process.

Q. When a VL4/rechargeable is charged – how long does it last?
A. This varies and depends on the amount of puffs you take. A light user could see a 20-24 hours use - a medium user 8-10 hours - heavy users as little as 3 hours. A battery charge provides approximately 150 puffs. We would strongly recommend a spare battery so that you can gain optimum use of your Vapourlites.

Q. Why do Vapourlites have a blue tip at the end
A. We use the blue tip to help avoid confusion when you are using your e-cigarette in a public place.

Q. How long does it take to recharge a vapourlite
A. Every Vapourlite comes fully charged, however when your rechargeable version needs a top up, this can normally be achieved in approximately 2-3 hours

Q. How do we know the USB is working
A. Once plugged in the USB has a light that flashes red and stays red throughout the charge

Q. I've used different brands of e-cig (3rd party) - Can I charge my Vapourlites battery with a 3rd party USB Adaptor or vice versa?
A. NO. We take NO responsibility for users using NON Vapourlites parts when recharging.

Q. What are the ingredients in the cartomizer/refills/tips
A. The liquid in all Vapourlites is made up of tobacco extract flavouring, liquid-nicotine (when ordered), vegetable and propylene glycol.

Q. Why do you use vegetable glycol yet other major manufacturer’s only use propylene glycol.
A. We feel that using natural substances would be a preferred choice for our customers.

Q. What is vegetable glycol and is it harmful to me
A. It's a carbohydrate that is normally sourced from plant oils. Vegetable glycol can be found in toothpaste for example.

Q. How is the vapour made
A. Air is drawn into the atomization chamber prior to passing through the nicotine cartridge of the electronic cigarette which combines the heated air and nicotine to give you the same feeling as smoking. The vapour tastes and feels just like the smoke from a normal cigarette.
