Assembly and Usage

• Remove the empty cartridge attached to the atomizer. (this cartridge has no fibers or e liquid and will ruin the atomizer if used)
• Screw the atomizer onto the battery.
• Open a cartridge and remove the protective cap. If the cartridge is empty, fill it with desired e liquid.
• Push the cartridge onto the atomizer and allow to sit for 2 minutes so the liquid soaks in.
• Smoke as you would a regular cigarette by pushing the button on the battery. Draw into the mouth much slower than a cigarette and inhale (apx. 4 - 8 seconds).
• Only depress the button on the battery when using otherwise the atomizer will overheat and cause an undesirable taste.
• Make sure to keep the e liquid topped off in the cartridge. Smoke about 1 - 2 cigarettes worth before adding around 3 - 4 drops.
• When vapor production is inadequate, recharge the battery by screwing it onto the supplied charger and plugging it in.

Special Notes

• Never carry the battery and atomizer connected unless they are stored securely in a hard cigarette case. Doing so will cause the device to activate unintentionally and void the warranty. Only connect while using.
• Always keep e cigarettes in the vertical position (light side up) or disassembled when not in use. The liquid can leak into the electronics and cause the unit to malfunction.
• NEVER bite down on the cartridge as it could cause it to rupture or come apart. Although rare, if this happens when inhaling, a part could be inhaled and medical attention should be sought immediately. Rinse all liquid from your mouth and skin and seek medical attention if ingested.
• Use as you would a regular cigarette and allow "cool down" periods. Not doing so will shorten the life of your battery and could irreversibly damage the unit. Try not to inhale more than once every 10 to 20 sec as it will overheat the liquid and could cause an undesirable taste.
• Cartridges can become warped over time with general use and should not be used more than 10 to 20 refills. Once warped leakage can occur between the atomizer and cartridge in which case the cartridge will need replaced.
• Cleaning of the atomizer is done by dissembling and blowing in the battery side (brass threaded side) of the atomizer with canned air, flushing or soaking in high proof vodka or grain alcohol for 10-15 min (agitation is preferred), and repeating until undesired flavor is not present. Soaking for longer, for example overnight, is also effective. Allow to dry for at least 2 hrs before use. Never use an atomizer dry (without a cartridge) as it could cause damage to the device. Always make sure anything used to work with the parts is clean and sterile.
• Another cleaning method mentioned in the manual involves flushing the atomizer out in a sink with warm water for 30 secs, blowing out and repeating if needed. A combination of both methods (water followed by alcohol) might be necessary in some instances.
• Similar to cleaning the atomizer, the cartridges can be cleaned by removing the fibers "liquid holder" with sterile tweasers, laying on a clean paper towel and blotting or squishing it, allowing to soak in high proof vodka or grain alcohol for 10-15 min, and repeat blotting/drying and soaking until undesired flavor is not present. Allow to dry for at least 30 min before use. Always make sure anything used to work with the parts is clean and sterile. Flushing at a sink is also effective.

Tips and Tricks

• If flavor gets old when you use it too much or it is too overwhelming by itself try mixing it with one of the tobacco flavors. If the e liquid has too much nicotine try mixing it with and e liquid with less nicotine in it to reach the right concentration. You can either use mixer bottles or empty e liquid bottles.
• Alternating use of multiple e cigs can extend the life of the batteries and atomizers. It can also keep your atomizers tasting better. If you tend to use an e cigarette often in a certain location like at the computer or in the car, it's a good idea to have a passthrough plugged in at that location so it's always ready and charged.
• If you're not using your e cigarette, try keeping it leaning on something or on a folded paper towel. Although e cigs are designed to not leak, sometimes when you set them on a horizontal surface the liquid may come out. Putting it on a paper towel can also help drain the cartridge and atomizer of old liquid.
• When using a cartridge for a while (3-5 days) the nicotine tends to concentrate and darken the liquid and change the taste. This happens because it's easier for the atomizer to vaporize the other ingredients and leave some nicotine behind. Cleaning or replacing cartridges is just as important as cleaning the atomizer if you want to keep your vapor tasting good.

FAQS

Q: Why don't you sell 36mg (extra-high) strength e-liquid?
A: Every drug, including nicotine has a safe cut-off dosage. We have been informed by our manufacturer and their health analysts agree that the highest safe dosage for e-liquid is 24mg.

Q: Why does my e cigarette taste funny?
A: Most of the time this means you simply need to add more e-liquid or change the cartridge. Refill or change the cartridge and wait for about 30 seconds before using. If the problem continues for more than 5-10 puffs after being refilled you should try cleaning the atomizer and or cartridge by following the instructions in the manual section. If the taste is still undesirable, the atomizer might need replacement. Some people also find the taste of higher strength e-liquid too harsh so try buying some weaker stuff to see if it helps.

Q: Why does it say poison with skull and crossbones on the bottle?
A: As stated on the bottom of product pages of our website: "Our products contain nicotine which is poisonous in high doses. Do not use if you are pregnant or breast feeding. Keep away from children and animals. See Conditions of Use for more details."

Q: Why don't you sell automatic batteries?
A: We used to sell them but after many were defective and failed easily we decided to discontinue them. In order to function there is a hole which allows the unit to sense when you are sucking in. This hole inadvertently allows liquid to get into the electronics which control the battery thereby destroying the circuitry. Manual batteries have several advantages in addition to not having the problem just mentioned. You are also able to control the length of time you are drawing in without having to worry about how hard you're sucking."
