The e-cigarette allows you to reproduce the act of smoking and avoids a sudden break with a habit. What's more, it provides your body with the dose of nicotine it needs at the pace you require, and the switch from tobacco cigarettes to e-cigarettes is generally made without any particular effort. You can also combine it with patches, for example, for greater effectiveness.

A vape that is too aerial and "direct inhalation" will produce a lot of vapor and won't reproduce the tight draw of a cigarette. To begin with, you need to focus exclusively on "indirect inhalation" kits.

At the outset, an e-cigarette costs more than a packet of cigarettes and a lighter, but once you've made your first purchase, the savings are clear. On average, a beginner vaper uses 1 (or even 2) bottles of e-liquid a week (at an average cost of €5.90/bottle) and a replacement coil every 15 days (sold in packs of 5 at around €2/resistance).

We advise you to refer to the beginner's guide or contact us. The choice may be different for everyone and depends on your profile.

In your e-cigarette, or rather in your e-liquid, there is propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavourings and nicotine or not. These first three ingredients are very common in food and cosmetics and have not been shown to be dangerous. In France, all e-liquids are declared to the government (to ANSES) with their full composition, six months before they are put on the market.

• Choose an e-cigarette that is PERSONALLY adapted to YOU.
• Choose 3 different e-liquids to test what suits you best. Typically a "classic" flavour (=closer to tobacco), a fruity flavour, or even a mint flavour. Choose a high nicotine dosage (16 mg/ml, or even 11 mg/ml if you're a very light smoker), otherwise your body won't get enough nicotine and it won't work (Note: nicotine is NOT carcinogenic, it's the burning of tobacco that is).
• Start using the e-cigarette gradually to get used to it.
• Vape regularly, BEFORE you feel like smoking, and all day long you'll be putting off the moment when you need to smoke. When the evening comes, you'll realise that you haven't smoked at all. Magic :-)
• If you want to lower your nicotine dose, do it VERY gradually, by one notch every 3 months minimum. Once you've reached zero nicotine, you could even do without an e-cigarette.

Yes, at the beginning it's a good solution to avoid extra pressure and to gradually get used to the e-cigarette. If the nicotine strength of your e-liquid is right, you should quickly eliminate all tobacco cigarettes from your day. And you too will have given up smoking without any particular effort.
