How does the NUCIG Electronic Cigarette Work?


The NUCIG is essentially made up of the following 4 main parts

  1. Battery + LED End  - Powers the device
  2. Atomizer  - Converts contents of the cartridge into a vapour
  3. Cartridge containing Nicotine  - Different dosages possible
  4. A mouthpiece  - Holds the cartridge and inhaled upon
    
The battery screws into the atomizer. The mouthpiece (which contains the cartridge) simply slips over the atomizer.
The best way to remove the mouthpiece is to use a gentle twist off action.

Using the NUCIG:

The user inhales on the electronic cigarette and this causes an air flow sensor to signal and activate the inbuilt microprocessor within the atomizer.

The atomizer, through a process of atomization,  converts the liquid nicotine in the cartridge into a vapour  which can then be consumed by the user and delivers the 'hit' and meets the cravings for the normal cigarette.

Simultaneously, a WATER based vapour is released from the liquid ingredients by the atomizer to resemble smoke. The advantage of this smoke is that as it is a water vapour, it is non-polluting and has no risk to its user or persons around them.

About Atomizers - please Note:

The NUCIG atomizer is the workhorse of the system and is built to high manufacturing standards. The atomizer is a consumable item and will expire and require replacement over time.

The Atomizer will last 14 - 60 days depending on the user and maintainance. To get the best usage and life from the atomizer we advise using 2 or more atomizers in rotation i.e. do not use the same atomizer on 2 consective days. In this respect most customers buy atomizer spares early, if not at the same time of buying a NUCIG kit. The Full kit includes a spare atomizer.
