Frequently Asked Questions about E Liquid

What is an electronic cigarette?

The Electronic cigarette is designed to look and feel like a normal cigarette, but it doesn't burn tobacco, which means it produces no tar, carbon monoxide, or any other of the chemicals associated with smoking. The e-cigarette is made up of 3 parts which include the battery, which is rechargeable, the atomiser, which consists of a heater coil and wick, and the cartridge, which is a plastic tube that stores the e-liquid inside it.

There is also no tar or carbon monoxide so many consider it to be a safer way of smoking.
