E-Cigarette FAQ
Electronic cigarettes are generally very easy to use, making the transition from analogs almost seamless. However, in order to make the best of your device, it’s important that you know the basics of how e-cigarettes work, what they are composed of and how to use them to get the most out of your vaping experience. The internet is full of helpful tutorials and how-to articles for beginners, but to really take advantage of them, you must first learn the basic terminology. Words like “vaping”, “cartomizer” or “cigalike” don’t mean much to the average person, but they are commonly used terms in the e-cigarette world, and understanding their meaning could make the difference between an enjoyable, potentially life-saving e-cigarette experience and going back to smoking tobacco cigarettes.

All I can say is that I’ve been waiting a month now for my vaping device. It’s still hasn’t arrived. I had to go to a local vape shop and buy one. I’ve asked for a refund and they told me they can’t. They just offered me a $6 refund. If they can do that they can give me a refund! Don’t waste your time! You can buy many of the same things they have here in the US.
