Welcome to Esmokeyshack! The place for all your esmoking needs!

Always store your liquid and cartridges in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children or animals. The nicotine that is in the liquid is highly concentrated and poses a safety risk. Please be responsible.

When dripping e-liquid directly onto the atomizer be careful not to overdo it, usually two drops will suffice, as liquid can leak into the battery causing the switch mechanism to malfunction. This is only important when using automatic batteries, when using manual batteries dripping poses no risk to the battery. "Dripping" can make the vapor experience more enjoyable as this can create more flavor and a lot of vapor. Also, when filling cartridges be careful not to overfill as liquid can leak out of the mouth piece and you may get a mouthful of juice.

When first using your electronic cigarette you may notice a very bad taste. Don't panic! This is simply the primer liquid that comes from the factory and quite frankly taste like a skunk's butt. Why they use this horrible liquid is beyond me, but here's what to do to rid it of its nasty taste. What you need to do (and this applies to any new atomizer) before using it, is simply blow into it where the atomizer connects to the battery where the hole is. You can alternatively use compressed can air but blowing forcefully with your mouth is all that is needed. After several hard puffs you will notice this primer liquid seeping out the other end. Repeat this until no more liquid is seen. Then just wipe it dry and place a few drops of eliquid directly on the atomizer to "re-prime" it so to speak and you're good to go! Also a new atomizer will take a break in period of several vape sessions to reach its full potential. If after several "vape sessions" the atomizer is still not producing good amounts of vapor and flavor, more than likely it is defective and will need replacement. Just shoot me an email, and we can take care of that.

You may reuse cartridges and mouthpieces indefinitely, but many replace after several days for hygienic reasons and to refresh flavor.

When using your electronic cigarette and you start having a burnt taste or vapor production is decreased, top off your cartridge with more e-liquid or drip onto the atomizer. If vapor production is still decreased try using a fresh recharged battery. If all else fails you may have a burned out atomizer, in this case replace with a new atomizer.

At first you may need to experiment with using your electronic cigarette to get the hang of it. Try taking a slow and long inhalation at first, ensuring that the atomizer has time to adequately heat up and vaporize the liquid. Inhaling too fast and strong may result in pulling liquid into the mouth piece.

It is recommended to start out with the lowest nicotine level at first and see how you do. Depending on your current nicotine intake and tolerance will dictate what level you should start with. If you smoke half a pack or less of Ultra Lights, it is not in your best interest to vape 24mg stuff! You may find your head spinning and wondering what hit you! Trying 6mg or 11mg liquid is better suited for this smoker. On the other hand if you are used to smoking 3 packs of Marlboro Reds, 24mg may be right up your ally. If you find that you are craving regular cigarettes more often or are constantly vaping on your electronic cigarette you may need to increase to a higher nicotine level. Some have found that just dripping a higher density of nicotine occasionally helps resolve the "nic cravings." Be aware that nicotine is a potentially harmful substance if not used correctly, such as the case of overdose. Some of the common symptoms of overdose include dizziness, increased heart rate, heart palpitations, increased blood pressure, sweating, nausea, and in extreme cases coma, or death. Please be aware of these dangers and use your electronic cigarette responsibly.
