Dekang Liquids: A Few E Liquid FAQs

One of the most exciting aspects to e-smoking is the ability to change the flavors of your vaporizer, and LiteCigUSA offers you a huge variety of popular and unique flavors with which to do so. First time e-smokers may be a little at loss with regards to e-liquids so we have compiled some FAQs to help you get started!

What are they and how do they work?

E-liquid or e-juice is a nicotine solution containing nicotine dissolved in propylene glycol (PG) and/or vegetable glycerin (VG). Both of these elements are common food additives and found in many things we eat and drink!

Wait, these contain nicotine?

E-liquids come in a variety of differing nicotine concentrations from zero, to low/mid-range doses (6-14 mg/mL) and high/extra high doses (16-26 mg/mL). So you can opt out of any nicotine at all if you prefer! The concentration ratings are typically labeled on the bottle or cartridge.

What flavors are available?

There are as many e cig liquid flavors as there are fish in the sea! Alright, perhaps not that many, but we stock everything from champagne to menthol flavors. For a classic smoker, select the Kamel Turkish blend flavor or opt for the Havana Cigar. Have a sweet tooth? Try butterscotch, caramel or crème. And if you, like me, are not too big a fan of flavored smoke, I recommend the unflavored e-liquid for a smooth, neutral smoke.

Should I refill or buy new cartridges?

Ultimately the decision is up to each individual smoker. Some prefer to keep their cigarette cartridges and refill them as they go since this can save a good chunk of money. However, we recommend purchasing new cartridges for different flavors to avoid flavor contamination (you don’t want your butterscotch cartridge influencing the taste of your new fruit punch liquid!). If you are loyal to one flavor, feel free to keep refilling the cartridge, however, for new flavors you should purchase a fresh cartridge.

How do I refill a cartridge?

It’s easy – simply pop out the cartridge, open the liquid bottle and drop 2-3 drops into the cartridge. Be sure not to fill it too much otherwise it may leak into the battery and cause damage.

I got a few bottles of my favorite flavor liquid – where do I store them?

E liquids do not need a specific storage temperature or location, but we recommend the following:
- Keep them out of reach of children
- Store them somewhere locked where youngster cannot access them
- Cool, dark places will extend the shelf life of the product; if you anticipate storing them for extended periods, we suggest keeping them in the refrigerator.
- E liquids will expire 24 months (2 years) from date of purchase

How long will the liquid last?

A 10mL eliquid bottle is equivalent to roughly 200 cigarettes so 1 bottle will last quite a long time! One cartridge of eliquid will produce the equivalent of 4-10 cigarettes. Of course all of these numbers depend on your rate of smoking and the strength of the liquid. Higher nicotine liquids will last longer since the user will inhale harder and more frequently causing the liquid to be used up more rapidly.

The Joye eGo: Why It’s Popular, Why You Should Choose It

If you’re in the market for a new electronic cigarette and have been doing some research online about products and models, you’ve probably noticed all the hoopla surrounding the Joyetech eGo e cig. Perusing e cigarette sites and forums, it becomes abundantly clear after a while that the eGo is taking the electronic smoking world by storm!

The popularity of the cigarette is not without reason, as many loyal fans will attest to, and the eGo is a great cigarette for both new electronic smokers and seasoned e cig smokers alike! For the novice, it offers a pleasant transition from smoking traditional cigarettes while experienced electronic smokers will notice the subtle improvements in the eGo over the 510 that make smoking this cigarette so enjoyable!

This cigarette has been a hit since it launched earlier in 2010 and is still the premier PV (personal vaporizer) available on the market – take a look at our top 5 reasons why you should choose the Joyetech eGo!

Reason #1: Battery Life

Loyal eGo users gush about the amazing battery life on this Joye e cigarette! Unlike older models or cheap knock off versions, the Joye eGo battery lasts for several hours. On average, it can last 7-8 hrs with heavy usage or up to 72 hours with low to moderate usage. That means that infrequent smokers needn’t worry about charging or changing their batteries for up to 3 days potentially!*

Additionally, the battery charges very quickly – on average 1.5 hrs! You could pop it in after work and be ready for a relaxing smoke after dinner time!

Reason #2: Smoking Experience

Many smokers switch to electronic cigarettes because of the overall improvement in the smoking experience. Traditional cigarettes can often be harsh on the throat and lungs, but electronic cigarettes are typically less  rough on sensitive areas. Additionally, e cigarettes eradicate the foul smell associated with traditional cigarettes and eliminate the harmful output that can hurt those around us.

The Joye eGo takes all of these improvements a step further by providing a great throat hit, plenty of vapor production and rich flavors!

Reason #3: Trusted Brand

Joyetech has been a leader in the electronic cigarette industry for many years so you know that you are purchasing quality when you purchase their products. The eGo, in particular, is a state of the art piece of smoking equipment that combines efficiency, pleasure and design in one smooth, sleek atomizer.

Reason #4: Easy to Switch

If you’re considering a switch to the eGo but are hesitating because you still have a 5 pack of cartridges for your 510 cigarette, don’t worry, the 510 atomizers and cartridges are compatible with the eGo making the switch that much easier!

Reason #5: Bang for your Buck

With the extended battery life, ability to continue using your 510 cartridges and more intense, full-bodied flavor, the Joyetech eGo is a cigarette that packs way more bang for your buck. For the same price as most other starter kits, the Joye eGo kit includes 2 atomizers, 2 cones, 2 batteries, 5 cartridges, 1 USB wall adaptor and so much more. Check out everything included here!

*These numbers are averages attained via testing and cannot be guaranteed, each user will experience their own level of battery life dependent on usage.
