Electronic Cigarette Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1
What is an Electronic Cigarette - e-cigarette?
It is an electronic device used to quit or reduce the harms of tobacco addiction, which heats a customized liquid with a battery to produce vapor that you can inhale. Electronic cigarettes are among the most frequently tried and successful methods for those who want to quit smoking addiction recently.

Question 2
-How safe is vaping?
According to Public Health England, e-cigarette smoking is at least 95% safer than traditional cigarette smoking. The remaining 5% largely represents the lack of long-term research. Nicotine is an addictive substance, but the dose you get while vaping is comparable to the caffeine in coffee or tea. Electronic cigarettes work by filling them with e-liquid, and this liquid is marketed in many different flavors. E-cigarette liquid does not contain any substances that can be harmful to health or carcinogenic. You can choose the flavor of these liquids according to your preference.
Question 3
What's in E-Liquid?
Original e-liquid contains 4 different substances: 1-Propylene Glycol (PG) 2-Vegetable Glycerin (VG) 3-Flavoring 4-Nicotine.
VG is the main ingredient, and it can be used with PG, flavoring, and nicotine as by-products. The quality of the liquid is determined by the quality of nicotine, the quality of flavoring, and finally, the VG-PG ratio. Click for detailed information on VG-PG.
Question 4
Do electronic cigarettes explode?
Rechargeable batteries prove to be safe when proper battery safety conditions are observed. As with mobile phone or laptop batteries, such reactions can occur due to usage or manufacturing defects. As long as you use original products, the risk will be minimized.
Question 5
There are many electronic cigarettes, what are the differences?
Generally, there are 2 types of electronic cigarettes: starter kits and mod kits. Starter models are typically pen-style, simple beginner kits that feed the atomizer with a fixed current. Mod kits are models with adjustable power levels, usually with a digital screen, powered by rechargeable external batteries. Starter kits are more suitable for new users. Click for detailed image.
Question 6
How do electronic cigarettes work?
The operating mechanism of an electronic cigarette is simple. Electronic cigarettes consist of 2 parts: the battery and the atomizer. The battery is the part that provides energy to the atomizer by pressing a button with an internal or external battery. The atomizer is the glass chamber where you fill the e-liquid. Inside the atomizer, the part consisting of wire and cotton, called the coil - inner atomizer - head, provides vaporization through heat.
Question 7
What is Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) and Direct-to-Lung (DTL) vaping?
When smoking a cigarette, we collect the smoke in our mouth and then swallow it, but with electronic cigarettes, there are different vaping styles, and smoking it like a cigarette is not recommended. For MTL vaping, you need to inhale slowly at a certain speed with high ohm and low wattage settings, and with the atomizer air channels mostly closed. The biggest difference between MTL and DTL vaping is the amount of vapor produced.
Question 8
How to choose e-cigarette liquid?
E-liquid filling solution is not included in electronic cigarette kits. You need to choose and purchase suitable electronic cigarette liquid. The most important factor in the adaptation process from traditional cigarettes to electronic cigarettes is the nicotine level. For those who will use it in MTL style, you can choose the nicotine level closest to the cigarettes you smoke. For DTL users, lower levels may be preferred. If the nicotine level of the e-liquid you are using feels too light or too strong, you can purchase a liquid with a lower or higher nicotine level.
Question 9
Is electronic cigarette really a good method?
When you want to quit smoking, you face 2 main problems: nicotine addiction and hand habit. Many smoking cessation methods have focused on nicotine (nicotine patches, nicotine teas, nicotine gums...) and have not been very effective. However, since electronic cigarettes address both addiction and habit, you can say goodbye to cigarettes on the very first day you start. Electronic cigarettes, which are considered the most effective smoking cessation method today, have been included in prescriptions in the UK. At this point, another important question arises: what about quitting electronic cigarettes?
Question 10
How do I quit electronic cigarettes?
This is one of the first questions that come to mind when transitioning from traditional cigarettes to e-cigarettes. You start with the nicotine level closest to the cigarettes you smoke and gradually reduce this level to 0 mg, meaning nicotine-free e-liquids. In this way, your nicotine addiction ends. Then, if you wish, you can stop using electronic cigarettes or continue to vape with nicotine-free liquids for pleasure.
Question 11
Are electronic cigarettes guaranteed?
There is a warranty certificate inside the package, but since there is no official import, there is no distributor in Turkey, and it has no validity. As the Electronic Cigarette website, you have a 14-day return and exchange right for products you purchase. Click to see the return and exchange conditions.
Question 12
How can I calculate my nicotine need?
Although this question is asked frequently, you don't need to vape exactly according to a nicotine calculation; it's more logical to use it as needed. For example, if you choose a 3mg liquid, regardless of the size (10ml, 20ml, 30ml), 3mg means there are 3mg of nicotine in 1ml. 3mg is equivalent to 0.003gr, meaning there is 0.3% nicotine in 1ml. In traditional cigarettes, the nicotine level written on the pack is the nicotine level in each cigarette stick.
For example, Winston box nicotine level is 0.8mg.
Someone who smokes 1 pack a day consumes 20 x 0.8 = 16mg of nicotine.
Someone who uses 5ml (3mg nicotine liquid) a day consumes 5 x 3 = 15mg of nicotine.
Question 13
What are the payment options?
After selecting your device and e-liquid, follow the order steps as a member or guest. After entering your address and contact information, you can choose cash on delivery or credit card on delivery. Paypal is currently not providing service in Turkey, so it is not among the payment options. You can contact us for online credit card payment service and installment options.

Question 15
What should I do during the initial setup of the device?
Now that you have your electronic cigarette and liquid, we can start the setup steps. First, if you have a model with an external battery, insert the battery into the battery compartment. Remove the coil - inner atomizer from the atomizer, drip 1-2 drops of liquid into the coil, then attach it to the device and fill the atomizer with liquid up to 3/4. Wait for 10 minutes for the cotton in the coil to fully absorb the liquid. If it's a starter model, start inhaling while holding down the button. If you are using a mod model, adjust the device according to the wattage range written on the coil. For example, for a 0.5ohm coil that says 30-50w, start using your device at 30w in power mode. You need to follow these steps every time you change the coil.
Question 16
Coil usage, spitting, burning issue?
This is a very common problem. Such spitting may occur due to your vaping style or incorrect use. For a solution, first clean the mouthpiece path with a tissue;
Vaping Style Error: Inhale as if smoking a hookah, and press the button after you start inhaling. If you press the button and wait even 1 second, the vaporized liquid will remain as moisture around the wires - in the mouthpiece path due to lack of airflow, and it can cause spitting as if liquid is dripped onto a hot wire.
Incorrect Mod Usage: Coils - inner atomizers have an ohm - resistance value. As the ohm level decreases, the resistance will also decrease, and more current will pass through, producing more vapor with a wider airflow (e.g., 0.5ohm more vapor, 1.0ohm less vapor). Coils have recommended wattage values. If you use a mod device at the wrong wattage level, it may cause spitting or burn the cotton inside the coil. (e.g., if you use a 1.0ohm coil at 60 Watts, you will burn it, or if you use a 0.3ohm coil at 10w, you may experience spitting.)
