Product Information
- How does SKYCIG work?
Simply by starting to inhale on the SKYCIG device, airflow is detected by a sensor that activates a heating element and vapourises a nicotine solution stored in the mouthpiece. The vapouriser then releases simulated "smoke". The SKYCIG battery, vapouriser and flavour cartridges all work together to produce vapour when you inhale.
- How do I know when a battery needs recharging?
Your SKYCIG battery will blink several times when it needs to be recharged. Please note your battery will also blink 5 times when it is being overused. If this occurs, slow down your smoking intervals.
- How long does it take to fully charge a battery?
On average a fully discharged battery will take 1 hour to fully recharge. You can recharge your batteries via the SKYCIG pack or USB charger included in your starter kit.
- How long should a battery last between charges?
A fully charged battery should last approximately 1 hour. Please see information above regarding charging your batteries.
- Does SKYCIG produce actual smoke?
SKYCIG actually produce an odourless and harmless water vapour, that looks and feels like smoke but disappears in several seconds.
- Where can I smoke SKYCIG?
SKYCIG is not a traditional cigarette and does not burn tobacco so it can be smoked in areas where normal smoking bans are in place like bars, restaurants, planes and offices. SKYCIG produces water vapour that is odorless and disappears in several seconds. You should check with each location if in doubt.
- Is SKYCIG healthier than traditional Cigarettes?
SKYCIG do not contain the over 10,000 chemicals, tar and ash associated with traditional tobacco cigarettes. They simply provide the user with a small dose of nicotine in the form of water vapour.
- What are the effects of nicotine in SKYCIGs?
The effects of nicotine are stimulation, a feeling of relaxation, calmness, and alertness. These effects can last from minutes to hours, and nicotine is considered habit forming and addictive. The carcinogenic properties of nicotine in a standalone form, separated from tobacco smoke, have not been evaluated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer/IARC.
- How do I store the full SKYCIG?
You always want to put the cig in the pack with the battery facing down, and the mouthpiece pointing up. This keeps the liquid over the vapouriser, and not running towards the mouthpiece.
- What is the difference in cartridges and Cartomizers??
Thank you for your enquiry and we are happy to help! SKYCIG's brand new cartomizers are as close to a cigarette as you can get. The new one piece design combines both a fresh cartridge and new vapouriser in each refill. With this improved design you can expect our cartomizers to last 3x as long as our original refills, up to 250 puffs. There is no foil seal to engage, and no need to ever replace your vapourisers again. The new cartomizer cartridges are completely compatible with your current SKYCIG batteries and fit into your pack the same as original cartridges. The main difference you will notice is that they last significantly longer than our original refills and there is no longer a need to use a separate vapouriser. Although they cost more per cartridge, they are actually slightly cheaper "per puff" than our originals.
For detailed information including a comparison chart, please see the following page: http://www.skycig.co.uk/sky-cig-refills
- What are SKYCIG disposables??
SKYCIG disposables are perfect for "quick fixes" on the go. They are larger in length and diameter than our standard SKYCIG but can last over 300 puffs! Once they run out, you simply dispose of them. No need to recharge or apply a new cartridge. The disposable does not need to be used all in one sitting, it can be used over the course of a couple weeks.
Refills
- How long does each refill last?
Each SKYCIG Cartomizer refill is the equivalent to 20-40 tobacco cigarettes. Each should last you over 200 puffs, depending on the smoking habits of the user. Based on our customer feedback, one SKYCIG original cartridge refill (requiring separate vapouriser) is equal to approximately 5 traditional cigarettes. Depending on how heavy a smoker you are this number vary.
- What are the ingredients in the e-liquid?
The SKYCIG cartridges contain nicotine, propylene glycol, flavouring, and other safe flavouring ingredients exclusive to SKYCIG. These cartridges come in various flavours and nicotine contents to satisfy the needs of a variety of users. Propylene glycol is a water based ingredient found in many health products and medicines. None of the ingredients in the cartridges have been found to be toxic to humans.
- What is the nicotine level of the refills?
We sell cartridge refills in 3 difference strengths. This allows you to enjoy a nicotine level that fits your smoking habits. The strongest strength is a 16mg BOLD, followed by a 12mg Regular, and lastly a 6mg Light. All kits come with 12mg Regular refills. The 12mg cartridge, averaged out over the duration of its use is most equivalent to what you would intake in a normal cigarette
- What flavours are available in refills
Tobacco, Marlboro, Cherry, Menthol, and Vanilla
- Why is the tip of my battery blinking red?
This can happen for a few reasons.
- 1.) the battery needs to be recharged, or
- 2.) you are smoking the cig too rapidly. This is a caution measure that is activated if you take more than 6 puffs within 1 minute.
- 3.) You are carrying the cig loosely in an open air environment. SKYCIG is designed to be touch sensitive in order to increase ease of inhaling. However if you are in a windy environment the cig may activate on its own.
To avoid this, always carry SKYCIG in its carry case instead of by itself in your hand, behind your ear, or in your pocket.
- The cartridge seems to be leaking when I inhale…
This is due to excessive inhaling from the mouth piece. If you are taking your first smoke in a given session, try to do 2-3 short puffs prior to taking a full drag. This will prime the the cartridge and battery and will also make it easier to inhale.
Also, make sure you store the full cigarette with the mouth piece up towards the ceiling and the battery pointed down, this keeps the liquid from running towards the mouthpiece. The same holds true for smoking SKYCIG. Keep the battery lower than the level of the mouthpiece. If you smoke with the battery point upward, it can cause some liquid to run.
- I cannot find the vapouriser, where is it?
When you receive the kit, 1 vapouriser will be screwed into a battery, and the other will be in an adjacent slot of the pack. Both vapourisers are covered in an empty cartridge. Sometimes it may appear that the vapourisers are not there, but in reality they are just covered by the cartridge case.
You may also unscrew the cartridge from the battery and it may not be apparent that the vapouriser is there. You simply need to pull the empty cartridge off the atomizer by holding the gold base.
- I can't get the battery out of the pack…
This is because the battery is screwed into the in pack charger. To remove, just twist to the left.
- The battery is getting really hot…
This is due to over activity of the battery. This can be caused by smoking (puffing) too frequently during a given time period. It can also be caused by carrying SKYCIG in a loose or windy environment. SKYCIG is designed to be touch sensitive in order to increase ease of inhaling.
However if you are in a windy environment the cig may activate on its own. To avoid this, always carry the SKYCIG in its protective carry case instead of by itself in your hand, ear, or pocket.
- I'm inhaling really hard, and getting no smoke
When your SKYCIG kit arrives, the vapouriser will be covered in a empty cartridge. You will need to remove this and replace it with the flavour cartridge of your choice. First make sure that your battery is fully charged. When you add a new cartridge, twist the cartridge 1/3 rotation in order to open up the airflow more, this should make it easier to "pull".
If you are taking your first smoke in a given session, try to do 2-3 short puffs prior to taking a full drag. This will prime the vapouriser and also make it easier to inhale. Also, make sure not to "over tighten" the battery/vapouriser connection.
- I am inhaling really hard, but getting just a little smoke…
