• SKYCIG
• What is a SKYCIG?

  A SKYCIG e-cigarette is a device that simulates the act of tobacco smoking by producing an inhaled vapour which bears the same physical sensation, appearance and flavour of inhaled tobacco smoke, but without the strong odour or harmful chemicals (SKYCIG cartridges contain a dose of nicotine, water and edible flavourings). SKYCIG is comparable to traditional cigarettes in terms of size and feel, with each piece being put through extensive testing to ensure quality prior to customer use.

• How does a SKYCIG work?

  When you start puffing on a SKYCIG, the airflow is detected by a sensor, which activates the lithium battery. This then activates a heating element that vapourises the nicotine solution stored in the mouthpiece. At the same time, the LED light at the end of the battery is activated at the tip to show that the devise is in use. The mouthpiece then releases simulated "smoke" which delivers the vapourised nicotine and flavouring solution.

  Watch How to Use a SKYCIG video.

• Does a SKYCIG produce actual smoke?

  SKYCIG vapourises a liquid solution into a mist similar to the way a humidifier vapourises water for inhalation. This mist, an odourless vapour, looks and feels like tobacco smoke but dissipates in just a few seconds.

• Where can I smoke SKYCIG?

  As SKYCIG does not contain tobacco, it can be smoked in areas where cigarette smoking bans are in place. This includes locations such as bars, restaurants, cafés, and offices (note: if in doubt, check with the location manager before using).

• Is SKYCIG healthier than traditional cigarettes?

  Traditional cigarettes contain tar, toxins, and over 4000 chemicals; by contrast, SKYCIG contains only a small dose of nicotine, delivered in the form of vapour.

• What are the effects of nicotine in a SKYCIG?

  Nicotine effects include stimulation, alertness, and a feeling of relaxation/calmness, all of which can last from minutes to hours. Nicotine is considered an addictive substance, however few studies have been conducted into the effects of nicotine when absorbed through a means other than tobacco smoking. Many experts in the area believe that although nicotine could have minor links to some health issues, the risks are dramatically smaller than that of tobacco smoking.

• Why are SKYCIG electronic cigarettes better than other brands?

  The SKYCIG brand has been voted the best e-cigarette in the UK market, not only because of our unique flavours but also because of our exclusive charging and carry case. This special case (included with the Freedom Kit and available in Accessories) charges the batteries on the go and allows you to carry additional cartridges with you. In addition, with SKYCIG you have the opportunity to be part of the SKYCIG community and have your say in how we grow and develop our brand to suit you. These are just a few of the reasons that thousands of people choose SKYCIG; why not take a look at some of our customer testimonials to see what other customers think.

• Is SKYCIG cheaper than tobacco cigarettes?

  Yes! SKYCIG is about 80% cheaper than tobacco cigarettes. One sleeve of our cartridges costs around the same as a pack of 20 cigarettes, so when you consider there are 5 cartridges in a sleeve (and each cartridge is equivalent to more than 30 cigarettes), it adds up to a lot of money. We always aim to provide an affordable alternative to tobacco cigarettes. You can use the Savings Calculator on the homepage to find out how much you could save.

• CARTRIDGES
• What cartridge flavours are available?

  We have a wide range of flavour cartridges to choose from, all of which can be purchased here on our website. Our SKYCIG cartridge page allows you to browse through our full selection whether you like a traditional tobacco taste or maybe something sweeter. Better yet, why not try all of our flavours and decide for yourself which tastes best. Whatever your choice, we're confident you won't be disappointed!

• What ingredients are in SKYCIG cartridges?

  SKYCIG cartridges contain nicotine, propylene glycol (a water-based ingredient found in many health products, medicines, foods and drinks), as well as common natural and artificial flavourings. For more detailed information on our ingredients, please contact our Customer Services Team.

• What nicotine level is found in a cartridge?

  Our cartridges come in 3 different strengths, allowing our customers to enjoy nicotine levels that suit their preferences. The strongest strength is "Bold" with 18mg of nicotine, followed by a 12mg "Regular" strength (the amount closest to that found in a traditional cigarette) and a 6mg "Light" strength. The cartridges you receive in a Freedom Kit are all "Regular" strength.

• How long does each cartridge last?

  Each SKYCIG cartridge contains the equivalent nicotine to around 30 traditional cigarettes. Life span of cartridges can vary depending on smoking frequency and length of inhalation.

• How do I replace a cartridge?

  If you're not sure whether the cartridge is finished or not, try using it with a fully charged battery: if the LED light glows normally, but the cartridge produces no vapour, then it's time to move on to a new one.

  To do so, carefully unscrew the used cartridge and dispose of it; then hold the SKYCIG battery with one hand and screw in a new cartridge of your choice. That's it!

  Watch the Replacing Cartridges video.

• Can I change a half used cartridge if I want to try another flavour?

  Yes you can. If you like a few of our flavours and want to have a couple cartridges on the go at the same time, it is absolutely fine to swap flavours half way through. However, please ensure that you store your half used cartridge in your charging case with the mouthpiece pointed upwards to avoid any possible leaks. We also recommend that you hold on to and replace your freshness sticker and rubber cap to avoid any damage to the cartridge.

• ORDERING

• CHARGING
• How do I charge the SKYCIG battery?

  Charging with the Freedom Charging Case:

  Important: Please remember to ensure that the charging case is unplugged before beginning to charge your batteries.

  1. First, fully charge your Charging Case by following the instructions included in your pack. Or you can watch the Charging the Case video.
  2. Once the case is fully charged, unplug it from the computer or wall socket and push a depleted SKYCIG battery into the charging slot until it clicks into place. The charging slot is the second slot from the right, or fourth slot from the left.

  4. When charging is complete, the blue light on the side of the case will flash slowly for five minutes and then go out. A battery typically takes around 60 minutes to fully charge.

  
  

  N.B: When you push your battery into the charging slot, if the red light on the side of the case flashes quickly for a couple of seconds instead of the blue light coming on, this means that your Charging Case requires charging.

• How often should I replace my batteries?

  To ensure you continue to enjoy the best SKYCIG experience possible, we recommend regular replacement of these items for optimum performance. We recommend you replace your batteries every 2-4 months (depending on usage) to ensure that you are getting the most out your cartridges and maintaining the best quality SKYCIG experience.

• USAGE AND STORAGE
• How do I know when my SKYCIG is being overused?

  After taking several puffs, your SKYCIG battery will flash twice and then cut out if it has been overused. This is a safety mechanism designed to ensure that the battery and atomiser do not overheat. If this occurs, please unscrew the battery from the cartridge and allow the parts to cool for 15 minutes.

• Why is my SKYCIG battery flashing?

  Your SKYCIG battery may start flashing for any of the following reasons:

  1. The battery has been correctly connected to a charging source (steady flash for 2 seconds)
  2. Following a puff, the battery needs to be recharged (quick flash for 10 seconds)
  3. Following several puffs, the battery has been overused (flashes twice)
• How do I assemble a SKYCIG?

  Before you assemble a SKYCIG make sure the battery is fully charged, then follow these simple steps:

  1. Choose one of the flavours in the cartridge sleeve.
  2. Remove the freshness seal and the plastic cap from the cartridge.
  3. Screw the cartridge into your fully charged battery.

  Watch the Cigarette Assembly video.

• How do I smoke a SKYCIG?

  Using a SKYCIG is very similar to smoking a traditional cigarette. However, because of its electronic components, we suggest you follow these simple practices:

  1. Hold the cigarette at a slightly downward angle to ensure the atomiser is coated in liquid.
  2. Begin with a couple short, light puffs and then gradually progress into longer, smooth puffs. With a SKYCIG, you do not need to draw as strongly as you would on a cigarette. For best results, draw slowly and lightly, allowing vapour to gradually fill your mouth, then inhale.
  3. Avoid drawing too hard or too fast, as you will not produce significant vapour.

  Watch the Using and Storing video.

• How do I store a fully assembled SKYCIG?

  We recommend you store your assembled SKYCIG in the right-most slot inside your charging case or pack, with the battery tip facing downwards.

  Watch the Using and Storing video.
