VAPING

IS VAPING HEALTHIER THAN SMOKING TOBACCO ?

In short, 95% safer ! According to official studies, regular tobacco cigarettes contain 7000+ chemicals including tar, formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide and arsenic! It is believed that electronic cigarettes are considerably safer, 95% safer than traditional smoking according to Public Health England AND they officially say, an effective way to stop smoking tobacco.

Michael Siegel a Professor in Dept of Community Health Sciences at Boston University, along with many other public health advocates, is quoted as saying "I can't say how safe the electronic cigarette is, but what I can say is that it is substantially safer than the conventional cigarette. Inhaling nicotine cannot be nearly as dangerous as inhaling nicotine plus thousands of other chemicals, including more than 40 carcinogens."

WHAT IS THE SMOKE YOU EXHALE ?

It is NOT Smoke - It is simply condensed air vapour mixed with Nicotine, food flavourings and a Propylene Glycol & Vegetable Glycerol mix. When this liquid is heated in the clearomiser chamber this mixture emulates the sensation of smoking and provides the user with a dose of Nicotine. (Except ZERO% Nicotine Strength)

WHAT'S IN MYCIGGY E LIQUID ?

MyCiggy 10ml bottle E-liquid own-brands contain the following ingredients:

Nicotine (Excluding MyCiggy ZERO%)
70% Propylene Glycol (PG),
30% Vegetable Glycerol (VG),
Flavouring.

We sell many other Juice brands too!. Their PG/VG Ratio should be seen in the Features & Ingredients section on their respective product page

Propylene Glycol (PG), is a colourless, odourless chemical that is used as a food additive, in cosmetics and in pharmaceuticals as an inert solvent or carrier. The ATSDR (Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease) states on its website, Propylene Glycol is a 'Generally Recognized as Safe' (GRAS) additive for foods and medications. PG has been used as the aqueous-based chemical additive in asthma inhalers and nebulizers since the 1950s, with no known serious side effects.

HOW MUCH CAN I SAVE VAPING MYCIGGY ?

"Vaping" MyCiggy you will be saving over 75% to smoking regular tobacco cigarettes. Each 2ml clearomiser chamber is equal to approximately 20 cigarettes. Including Myciggy E-liquid and the periodic replacement of MyCiggy clearomisers it costs a 20-a-day smoker less than £1-a-day as opposed to £10 when to smoking 20 Traditional Cigarettes!

WHAT STRENGTH E LIQUID DO I NEED ?

Nicotine is inefficiently delivered via an E Cig when compared to delivery via a lit and smoked cigarette. Therefore you need approximately DOUBLE the nicotine in eLiquid form to be as effective as nicotine delivered via tobacco cigarette.

A Traditional Cigarette with 0.9mg nicotine = Approx the same as 1.8% or 18mg per 100ml eLiquid strength - CHECK THE SIDE OF YOUR CIGARETTE PACKET TO SEE YOUR CURRENT NICOTINE STRENGTH - THEN DOUBLE IT FOR YOUR E LIQUID STRENGTH!

Most Ex-Smokers Prefer The MAX 18mg Strength - The MOST Popular. Which One will Suit You?

1.8% Nicotine/ 18mg = 20 a day +

1.2% Nicotine/ 12mg = 12 a day +

0.6% Nicotine /6mg = 5 a day +

ZERO% - ZEROmg = Just Propylene Glycol and vegetable Glycerol and flavouring

Some customers only vape occasionally but demand the highest nicotine content! Try out our approximate strengths in relation to your current smoking habits and find a strength to suit you.

Please note that MOD users always prefer the lower 3mg nicotine strengths as they produce more vapour and require less nicotine to satisfy!

DOES VAPING SMELL ?

MyCiggy E-liquid vapour is almost odourless and dissipates within seconds. It doesn't linger or cause discolouration to walls - unlike regular cigarette smoke. It doesn't give you ' a smokers breath' or leave your hands or clothes smelling of musty cigarettes either. Your exhalations poses no 'Passive Smoking' threat to nearby Non Smokers, in fact other, than for the vapour they would not know you were smoking.

CAN I VAPE ANYWHERE ?

You used to be able to use E Cigarettes ALMOST anywhere!
However, the law on what you can do where is constantly changing, so please take note of the decision of the proprietor of a Pub, Restaurant etc and any notices displayed where you are.. Which must always be respected. The social stigma of smoking still exists in many places but we are sure that despite some protestations by Government Ministers the general public will find electronic cigarettes more acceptable as time progresses.

WHO IS ALLOWED TO VAPE ?

We would not recommend the use of MyCiggy products for pregnant or lactating females (who really should not be smoking in any case), nor would we recommend their use to non-tobacco smokers either.

Company policy has always been to stricly enforce sales to only those over 18 years of age, UK Law NOW states the same..

How-ever, if you do smoke then we would actively encourage you to consider switching to e-Cigs, even if they are not to ours but some other e-Cig supplier say. Smoking Tobacco based products will eventually kill you if nothing else kills you first ... FACT !

DOES MYCIGGY HELP YOU QUIT SMOKING ?

MyCiggy E-Cigs are intended as a less harmful smoking alternative.
Now officially recognised as 95% safer than smoking tobacco & A good way to stop smoking by Public Health England - Finally ! Clearly you will have stopped smoking tobacco if you are no longer smoking tobacco, but for legal reasons and political madness MyCiggy can only be described as an alternative nicotine delivery method! Most MyCiggy employees were tobacco smokers, now they have stopped that filthy habit!

BATTERIES & WARRANTY

Lithium-Ion batteries in E Cigarettes are quite similar to the batteries used across the world in everyday devices like mobile phones and laptop computers. They are generally considered safe however considerable risks are posed if they are used improperly. By far the biggest risk is when using an incorrectly rated Mains charger - Namely Smartphone or iPad style chargers. All MyCiggy batteries have gone through extensive testing and most models have a built-in protection circuit. For your own safety please read the following safety information regarding correct E Cigarette battery practice

Use the '5-quick-presses' On/Off feature when your electronic cigarette is not in use.

Only use the charger supplied with your product. Different batteries use different chargers - This is when most problems occur.

Never leave charging batteries unattended.

Never use batteries in or near water or expose them to extremely low or high temperatures.

Safely dispose of batteries once they have reached their end of life.

Always carry loose batteries in plastic, neoprene or cardboard containers. Beware of loose batteries coming into contact with coins or keys.

Please use common sense. MyCiggy Lithium-ion batteries pack a lot of punch to be able to deliver up to 8 watts of power to drive your clearomiser top. If you are at all unsure of the do's and dont's concerning maintaining and using your MyCiggy eCig battery, just use the contact us form or call us!
