Joyetech eRoll-C



Joyetech eRoll-C


Very popular and stylish mini electronic cigarette eRoll has received a new version, while retaining all the functions and some design elements, it also comes with several improvements

At first glance, the most striking change is the plastic cartridge hidden in a metal enclosure with a small window to check e-liquid, because of thath eRoll-C gets far more robust all-metal appearance, moreover, there is no frequent wear out of the cartridge. Even the eRoll-C PCC changed the design little bit, now is made of metal while maintaining a solid 1000mAh capacity it was possible to make it even more thin.

Functionally, however, eRoll-C is no different from its predecessor and still maintains a very high standard and quality. For heating it uses the same atomizers. Batteries have protection for low voltage, short circuit protection and also protects the atomizer itself. Even such a small e-cigarette can have a number of features that we were looking for at more larger models.

The basic eRoll-C kit, see, among others, charging case, which is built-in lithium battery with 1000mAh capacity. In this case there are two LED lights next to the USB port to recharge. Personal Charging Case (PCC) is intended for one complete piece electronic cigarette eRoll-C. The actual e-cigarette battery has a capacity only 90mAh, but for charging just snapped it into the case and in half an hour is fully charged. And given that in the kit there are two e-cigarettes it will not happen that you are left without an e-cigarette.
The new generation of electronic cigarettes eRoll-C does not come with revolutionary changes, or does not significantly alter your favorite e-cigarette, it just tweaks and perfects its design which already has been so successful.

Symptoms you may experience

Symptoms you may experience when you start using electronic cigarettes

When you begin using electronic cigarettes as a tobacco alternative, it’s common to experience symptoms as your body reacts, adapts to the changes and rids itself of the chemicals present in tobacco smoke. Some symptoms will come and go over a period of a few days. Most are gone within a few weeks and everyone’s experience is different.

It is important to know about and properly attribute symptoms to tobacco withdrawal as these symptoms are widely known, reported and studied. Symptoms experienced by e-cigarette use are most commonly the result of this process and experienced by anyone  ridding their system of tobacco.

Some people do experience symptoms from e-cigarettes most commonly due to allergies of ingredient compounds and throat irritation. Those will be covered in a separate article.

The effects of nicotine withdrawal are mitigated if you are using nicotine-containing cartridges for your electronic cigarette, but due all of the tar, carcinogens and other chemicals in tobacco smoke and the years of buildup, some of these symptoms may still occur.

It is important to remember that your body is undergoing a change. Usually, symptoms that result from the switch to e-cigarettes are a response to that change and go away eventually, usually within a week or so. If you experience severe or prolonged symptoms, consult your doctor.

coughing
Coughing , congestion, phlegm, sputum and throat clearing:
These are the most common symptoms you may experience as you transition away from tobacco smoking. The amount of time you will experience them depends on how heavy a smoker you were.
Coughing is most commonly caused by the cilia that line your lungs cleaning out the tar and mucus. Your body is in the process of cleaning out all of the junk coating the surface of your tissues and will cough it up in the form of phlegm. It’s not pretty, but think of it as a makeover on the inside. This is a good thing.
Studies have shown that this process begins within a few days. You will most likely experience a morning cough for about a week, and clearing for up to a month. Recommendation: Consume lots of water to help this process along. For sinus congestion, take an over-the-counter medication until it dissipates.

Hoarseness:
Related to the coughing and throat clearing process above, all of that tissue regeneration can give you a froggy-sounding voice.  Recommendation: Suck on throat lozenges and drink lots of water to sooth your throat.

Increased instances of the common cold:
Studies have shown that colds are more prevalent during this period (see reference). As your body is ridding itself of toxins and adapting to change, your immune system is working overtime. Recommendation: Take it easy, drink lots of water and take vitamins to help your body along.

Acne:
Also known as the “quit zits”, mild breakouts are a common occurrence. They are the result of the body releasing toxins and more prevalent with those who experienced breakouts at a young age. This will pass as your body adjusts.

Mouth Ulcers:
A scientifically studied symptom that can occur when you quit tobacco, mouth ulcers are small legions on the roof of your mouth, gums and the inside of your cheeks (see reference). Smoke is an irritant and your gums and mouth tissues build up a “crust” over time. As your body sloughs off and replaces damaged tissue with new, healthy tissue, these small lesions may develop.
Recommendation: Rinse your mouth often with water to help control irritation and promote healing.

hiccupsHiccups:
This annoying symptom has been documented in the use of cessation aids like nicotine gums as people swallow nicotine into their stomach. While not damaging, it can be very annoying.
This may also occur with e-cigarettes if you hold the vapor in your mouth and the nicotine finds its way into your saliva. Recommendation: To prevent this, avoid holding the vapor in your mouth and breathe it in instead.

Heartburn:
Heartburn or acid reflux symptoms can be attributed to quitting smoking, but it can also be caused by too much nicotine. Recommendation: Try lowering your nicotine strength. If the problem persists for over a week, consult your doctor.

Headaches
Headaches, Nausea, Shaking:
When switching to e-cigs, you are most likely experiencing some change in your nicotine consumption. It may be more or less than your body is accustomed to. This fluctuation can cause these symptoms which shouldn’t last more than a few days. Recommendation: Try different nicotine strengths until you settle into one that suits your needs and make adjustments slowly.
Insomnia and dreams
Your body is going through changes and this life change also can affect you psychologically. Many people find an increased sensitivity to caffeine during this time. Recommendation: Try drinking less coffee and tea or make them weaker until the sleeplessness subsides.

Dizziness:
Switching away from tobacco can cause dizziness as your circulation increases. Your brain is getting more oxygen! This should only last for a brief period of time until you adjust.
A second cause of dizziness can be attributed to too much nicotine from your e-cigarette. If you find yourself puffing on it all day, you may need to alternate between high and low nicotine strengths. Or you may be using a nicotine strength that is too high for you. If the problem persists, consult your doctor.
Itching, tingling, prickling
Have patience. These symptoms (if mild) are only due to increased circulation. They should disappear in a few weeks.

Changing sense of taste:
As your body rids itself of tar, chemicals and tissue buildup, you will notice an increased ability to taste and smell. Things that were good before may taste too salty or too strong and foods your previously found bland may all the sudden taste delicious. This holds true to your cartridges flavors. You may suddenly dislike your favorite flavor and enjoy flavors you found awful the first time around! This is an ongoing process.
Another change in taste can occur if you use menthol cartridges heavily. The properties in menthol can dull your sense of taste temporarily; giving you something called “menthol mouth”.  This can make your carts seem tasteless. Recommendation: If your experience this, stop using menthol for a little while until your taste buds recover. Cough drops have also been reported to help.

Muscle Cramps
Muscle cramps, spasms and aches:
As more oxygen enters your system and circulation improves, you may experience some aches and pains. This is a normal part of flushing out your system and regeneration after you stop smoking tobacco.
It can also be a symptom of dehydration. E-cig ingredients can have a drying effect on your mouth and body. Drink lots of water to counteract any dehydration.
Gas
This may last a few weeks. Recommended: Stay away from gassy foods like beans, cabbage and broccoli.
Diarrhea
You may experience this when you stop using tobacco, but it could also be intolerance to PG (propylene glycol). Try switching to a VG (vegetable glycerin) based

Electronic cigarettes - miracle or menace?

An electronic cigarette
Electronic cigarettes do not have tar, the harmful part of a normal cigarette
The number of people using e-cigarettes in the UK is expected to reach a million this year but while some believe the electronic alternative to tobacco could help save hundreds of thousands of lives others think they normalise what looks like smoking and may be unsafe

Anyone walking into a busy pub in Manchester may well be confronted with a rather shocking sight.
At one table it looks like a group of friends are smoking, but there is no smell in the air and no ashtrays on the table. What they are using are e-cigarettes.
One of the women, Steph, says the e-cigarette has helped her to stop smoking.
"I've tried patches and inhalator's," she says. "They're a lot better because you feel like you're having a cigarette."
"They're a great idea," says another woman, Lisa. "You've got the health benefits from it and it does taste like a cigarette."

The e-cigarette comes in two parts.
In one end there is liquid nicotine, in the other a rechargeable battery and an atomiser. When the user sucks, the liquid nicotine is vaporised and absorbed through the mouth. What looks like smoke is largely water vapour.Because there is no tobacco in e-cigarettes, there is no tar and it is the tar in ordinary cigarettes that kills.

Safety concerns

“ Quote
If all the smokers in Britain stopped smoking cigarettes and started smoking e-cigarettes we would save 5 million deaths in people who are alive today”

Professor John Britton. Royal College of Physicians The e-cigarette market is growing fast. A survey by the charity Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) suggests 700,000 people in the UK were using e-cigarettes last year. The charity estimates that number will reach a million in 2013 and some medical experts see huge potential benefits.
"Nicotine itself is not a particularly hazardous drug," says Professor John Britton, who leads the tobacco advisory group for the Royal College of Physicians.
"It's something on a par with the effects you get from caffeine. "If all the smokers in Britain stopped smoking cigarettes and started smoking e-cigarettes we would save 5 million deaths in people who are alive today. It's a massive potential public health prize." There are however concerns about the safety and regulation of e-cigarettes. They can legally be sold to children. There are few restrictions on advertising. Critics say some of the adverts glamorise something that looks like smoking. Unlike patches and gum, e-cigarettes are not regulated like medicines. It means there are no rules for example about the purity of the nicotine in them.
Regulation call

So are e-cigarettes safe?

"The simple answer is we don't know," says Dr Vivienne Nathanson from the British Medical Association (BMA). "It's going to take some time before we do know because we need to see them in use and study very carefully what the effects of e-cigarettes are."

The BMA is just one of the bodies to respond to a consultation on e-cigarettes by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. The agency is deciding whether the e-cigarettes should be licensed as a medicine and more tightly regulated. The BMA thinks they should.

“Quote
I don't think there's any difference between going for a caffeine break and having a nicotine break”
Lawrence Jones
UK Fast

"I would either take them off the shelves or I would very heavily regulate them so that we know the contents of each e-cigarette were very fixed," says Dr Nathanson. E-cigarettes are currently classed as a general consumer product and regulated by trading standards. It means they cannot contain hazardous chemicals, for example, and that the battery in them must meet EU standards. The trade association for e-cigarettes, the Electronic Cigarette Industry Trade Association, says they make no medicinal claims for their product. It is sold merely as an alternative to ordinary cigarettes.
Attempts to classify e-cigarettes as a medicinal product have been made in Holland and Germany but the industry successfully overturned the decisions in court.

Workplace etiquette
One UK based distributor, called VIP, says over stringent regulation could see them go out of business. Nonetheless Andy Whitmore, the company's marketing director, said it would "welcome regulation that ensures the product can't be sold to anyone under the age of 18".
There are many other questions. For example, should using e-cigarettes be allowed in a public place? At the offices of UK Fast - an internet storage company - employees can use them at their desk.
"It's a tricky one," says the company's chief executive officer, Lawrence Jones.
"It does look like smoking but could you stop someone from chewing a pencil or biting their nails? I don't think there's any difference between going for a caffeine break and having a nicotine break."
Other companies have banned it. But in theory electronic cigarettes can be used anywhere - on planes, trains, in hospitals.
The BMA is worried that the more people start using e-cigarettes the more it will normalise something that looks like smoking. They have called for the ban on smoking in public places to be extended to e-cigarettes.
A decision on whether the regulation of electronic cigarettes should be tightened will be made in a few weeks.

Electronic cigarettes seem to work

Electronic cigarettes seem to work, psychologically and physically


An electronic cigaretteSince many of my patients have reported using electronic cigarettes to successfully stop smoking, I now recommend the devices to anyone who has tried to quit smoking cold turkey and failed.
And I think it is time that other doctors do, too.
Electronic cigarettes combine a mouthpiece, which contains liquid (including nicotine), an atomizer (which heats the liquid and turns it into vapor), a battery and an LED tip that glows like the tip of a lighted cigarette.
While early versions of the electronic cigarette date back to 1963, with a patent awarded to inventor Herbert Gilbert, the modern versions of electronic cigarettes—the basis for big brands in the industry, such as LOGIC and Blu—were introduced at the beginning of this century.
Dr electronic cigarette The reason my patients tell me electronic cigarettes work better than the patch or nicotine gum is that they simulate the act of smoking, but not perfectly.  They are good enough to substitute for real cigarettes, but they aren’t good enough to become an addiction, in and of themselves.  An analogy in the arena of food addiction would be something low calorie that fills you up enough to prevent bingeing on sweets, gives you some distance from that addiction, but then becomes forgettable, because it isn’t really all that compelling.
It is, of course, imperative that the electronic cigarette be a good-enough fake.  And, on this count, LOGIC seems to have a slight psychological advantage, given what patients tell me is a very realistic smoking experience—but not too realistic, as noted above.  Interestingly enough, the LOGIC brand seems to be the best-selling one in New York City, perhaps because of these factors.
There is certainly controversy about whether electronic cigarettes are harmless.  Critics note that they do, of course, contain nicotine (which is the whole idea, after all).  And critics have also found other substances in the vapor released by electronic cigarettes—even cancer-causing substances, but in tiny, tiny amounts that proponents of the devices claim would have no negative effect on well-being at all.
What no one seems to argue about is that electronic cigarettes—from LOGIC or Blu or any leading brand—are not nearly as dangerous as smoking real cigarettes.  LOGIC claims its device avoids 4,000 toxins that are found in cigarettes.
Given my experiences and those of numerous clinicians I have spoken with, it would seem to be a good time to conduct large scale clinical trials in which patients who smoke are given electronic cigarettes by their doctors, encouraged to use them and then quizzed on their use of real tobacco weeks and months and years later.  If the data generated support the product, then it may be wise for medical insurance companies to offer electronic cigarettes to smokers for free.  My bet is they would save lots of money—from the costs of treating heart disease and cancer—down the road.

E-Cigarettes Pose No Risk of Heart Disease


eRollElectronic cigarettes used by smokers who want to kick the habit show no connection to heart disease, according to a study that adds to evidence of health benefits of switching from tobacco to smokeless alternatives.

E-cigarettes, electronic tubes that simulate the effect of smoking by producing nicotine vapor, prompted no adverse effects on cardiac function in the study, researchers from the Athens- based Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center said in a report presented at the European Society of Cardiology annual meeting in Munich today.

Investigators examined the heart activity of 20 young daily smokers after one ordinary cigarette against 22 people who smoked an electronic cigarette for 7 minutes. Whereas tobacco smokers showed “significant” disruptions of functions such as heartbeats or blood pressure, the effect of e-cigarettes on the heart was minimal, Konstantinos Farsalinos, one of the researchers, said in the presentation.

“Currently available data suggest that electronic cigarettes are far less harmful, and substituting tobacco with electronic cigarettes may be beneficial to health,” Farsalinos said.

Previous studies have found that the electronic devices would have to be smoked daily for four to 12 months to achieve the levels of nitrosamines, a carcinogen, that are present in a single tobacco cigarette, the researchers said. Industrywide e- cigarette sales this year are likely to double from $250 million in 2011, according to UBS AG.

Psychological Effects
Electronic cigarettes, which mimic the look and feel of traditional versions without generating smoke and ash, are one of the few smoking alternatives that provide users with their chemical need for nicotine and reproduce the psychological effect of holding and smoking a cigarette, the researcher said.

Makers of the battery-powered devices include Lorillard Inc. (LO), a Greensboro, North Carolina-based producer of standard cigarettes, which acquired Blue Ecigs for $135 million in April. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has yet to impose rules on the testing and production of e-cigarettes.

About 2.5 million people use e-cigarettes in the U.S., according to an estimate by the Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association.

Although nicotine is present in the devices’ vapor, it is absorbed by the blood at a far slower rate than tobacco smoke, accounting for the lower levels of toxicity, Farsalinos said. No traces of nitrosamine were found in the e-cigarettes in the study, he said.

Electronic cigarettes challenge anti-smoking

E-cigarette in Germany (file pic)

A new TV advert for a brand of electronic cigarettes marks the first time in decades cigarettes of any sort have been promoted on US television. Anti-smoking campaigners fear the rapid growth of tobacco-free cigarettes could undermine years of successful anti-smoking efforts.

A handsome actor poses and struts on a beach in a stylishly shot black-and-white television spot. He puts the cigarette to his lips, takes a puff, and exhales a rich flume.
"Blu lets me enjoy smoking without it affecting the people around me, because it's vapour not tobacco smoke," says Stephen Dorff, the scruffy heartthrob star of The Immortals.

"We're all adults here, it's time we take our freedom back."
The launch this autumn of the advert for blu eCigs marks a turning point in the fast-growing US market for electronic cigarettes, which use an electronic mechanism to warm a liquid nicotine solution and release mist into the lungs.Most living Americans had never before seen a cigarette advertised on television - they were banned in 1971.But the electronic cigarettes fall outside that law, since they contain no tobacco. That is just one way they fall into what one anti-smoking campaigner calls a regulatory "no man's land".
Electronic cigarettes have exploded in popularity in the US since they first appeared on the market in 2007. Blu is just one brand, with NJOY, SmokeAnywhere, JoyeTech, and many more also available

The taste is better than real cigarettes and you don't disturb people because it doesn't smell.

You can smoke inside in public places. I smoke in restaurants, I smoke in bars. I even ended up smoking in the subway.

I think it's healthier - it doesn't give you cancer. I smoked some [tobacco] cigarettes on one night three weeks ago, and I was disgusted by it, actually

Some smokers turning to e-cigarettes for fix


Andy StockertBy Rodger Mullen
Staff writer

Andy Stockert loves his cigars. But he can't smoke them in the Harnett County barn where he keeps his horses.

So a couple of years ago, Stockert switched to electronic cigarettes. He puffs them when he can't light up the cigars he prefers.

Beyond the practical benefit of being able to smoke in places where it's normally outlawed, Stockert says e-cigarettes have other advantages over traditional smoking.

"They don't leave that nasty breath," Stockert said. "They don't leave an odor when you use them."

Since North Carolina banned most indoor smoking in January 2010, e-cigarettes have emerged as an alternative. Smokers have been lighting them up in bars and restaurants, where tobacco is not permitted.

Andy Stockert"I see people walking around smoking them all the time," said Ben Anstead, manager of Anstead's Tobacco Co. in Cross Creek Mall. "I've had a number of people who say, 'If you're going to smoke, smoke an e-cigarette.' "

Electronic cigarettes are electrical or battery-powered inhalers that vaporize a liquid solution into an aerosol mist, which the user inhales. They contain no tobacco, but most do use nicotine.

The amount of nicotine in an e-cigarette varies depending on the type of liquid used. Some solutions contain no nicotine, while others have as much or even more than regular cigarettes.

The cigarettes come with chargers that can be plugged into home or car adapters. Many companies offer a variety of flavors, including tobacco, menthol or even grape and strawberry.

Anstead said he started selling e-cigarettes a few years ago. He said there was an initial flurry of interest in the product, but it gradually subsided over time.

"We used to have a waiting list," he said. "We couldn't get them in fast enough."

Anstead said he attributes the drop-off in sales to the fact that more places, including many convenience stores, are now selling e-cigarettes. Today, Anstead said he probably sells four or five kits a month of Encore brand e-cigarettes.

Ecig Useful as Smoking Cessation Aid


Ban CigaretteAug. 28, 2012 (Munich, Germany) -- Electronic cigarettes do not appear to be bad for your heart, according to the first study to look at the effects of smoking e-cigarettes on heart function.

The devices -- battery-powered metal cartridges that simulate the effect of smoking by heating nicotine-containing liquid into vapor -- can be helpful to smokers trying to kick the habit, says researcher Konstantinos Farsalinos, MD, of the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center in Athens, Greece.

"Considering the hazards associated with cigarette smoking, currently available data suggest that electronic cigarettes are far less harmful, and substituting tobacco with electronic cigarettes may be beneficial to health," he says.

Speaking here at the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology, Farsalinos acknowledges that the study was short and small -- only 22 people were studied immediately before and after using the devices.

Another small study shows that e-cigarettes may have short-term harmful effects on lung function, he says.

Many more people have to be studied for much longer before any firm conclusions can be made about the safety of electronic cigarettes, Farsalinos says.

Still, e-cigarettes are the only smoking cessation aids that satisfy both sides of addiction: the chemical craving for nicotine and "the psychological addiction that comes from having something in your hand, lighting it, and inhaling and exhaling it," he says. "Preliminary studies show this [two-pronged attack] helps people to quit."

Polish survey

Polish survey of e-cigarette users finds 66% no longer smoke


Polish surveyA Polish study, "Patterns of electronic cigarette use and user beliefs about their safety and benefits: An Internet survey," was published online in the Drug and Alcohol Review. According to the abstract, the "objective of this study was to investigate patterns and effects of e-cigarette use and user beliefs about e-cigarette safety and benefits."

"The survey was completed by 179 e-cigarette users. Almost all participants used e-cigarettes daily. E-cigarettes were primarily used to quit smoking or to reduce the harm associated with smoking (both 41%), and were successful in helping the surveyed users to achieve these goals with 66% not smoking conventional cigarettes at all and 25% smoking under five cigarettes a day. Most participants (82%) did not think that e-cigarettes were completely safe, but thought that they were less dangerous than conventional cigarettes. Sixty percent believed that e-cigarettes were addictive, but less so than conventional cigarettes."

The same researcher, Maciej Lukasz Goniewicz, also recently published a survey study on Polish youth and young adult use, "Electronic Cigarette Use Among Teenagers and Young Adults in Poland," in the PEDIATRICS journal. Researchers report that about "one-fifth of Polish youth have tried e-cigarettes; most of them had previously smoked cigarettes. It is unclear whether e-cigarettes are just a novelty that young people try only once or whether they have potential to compete in the marketplace with conventional cigarettes." Only 3.2% of those who had never smoked reported trying e-cigarettes.

WHO reported the 2010 Global Adult Tobacco Survey found that the smoking rate for adults 15 years and older in Poland is 28%.

Electronic Cigarettes - The New Safer Cigarette?



It seems a little ironic, but one particular way to cut back on smoking may possibly, in fact, be a cigarette.

Electronic cigarettes (also known as e cigarettes or e-cigs) have been expanding in reputation since they were developed by a Chinese pharmacist in 2004. For smokers seeking for a way to curb their damaging habit, e cigarettes may be the remedy.

E cigarettes are a battery powered device fashioned to look like a cigarette and developed to release a nicotine vapor upon inhalation. E-cigs allow somebody to smoke without having in fact burning tobacco. Hence, “smoking” without any “smoke”. E-cigs can serve as a great alternative to tobacco cigarettes for smokers who want that dose of nicotine but never want any of the detrimental well being effects that come from inhaling the smoke.

E electronic cigarette cigarettes are straightforward in their style. Each a single has 4 operating parts: a cartridge, an atomizer, a battery, and an LED light. The cartridge acts as the whole mouthpiece of the e cigarette. Within the cartridge is a liquid nicotine answer. This solution, occasionally referred to as e-juice, comes in many diverse varieties and flavors. The varieties are what make e cigarettes exclusive. In addition to obtaining tobacco and menthol flavors, other folks such as fruits, chocolate, and caramel flavors are available also. Some e-juices come without nicotine. The whole cartridge can be replaced or the e-juice can be refilled when it runs dry.

The e-juice is vaporized and inhaled by way of the means of an atomizer. The atomizer is powered by a straightforward battery. Several e cigarettes use rechargeable batteries, which tends to make them handy to own. They’re surprisingly electronic cigarette versatile too, with e cigarette brands offering recharging possibilities by means of an AC wall outlet, a automobile adapter, and even a USB port. Disposable e-cigs are also readily available.

One may well be cautious about transitioning to an e cigarette due to the fact of the impression it gives to other people. Are e-cigs as cool as tobacco cigarettes? Some might say so. E-cigs come in trendy hunting packaging, and the e cigarette itself looks just like a tobacco cigarette. On the finish of each e cigarette is an LED light which glows orange when air passes via it, mimicking the appearance of a lit cigarette. Suffice to say, e cigarettes do have their advantages to them, which might outweigh other issues. E-cigs create no smoke, leave no ashes and they leave no butts behind to be lazily tossed on the ground. electronic cigarette

Proper way of using eGo-C

ego cartridgeSome consumers have complained about leaking around the atomizer. We have several possible causes and solutions. First possible cause may be how the user inhales when using the tank system. The tank system was designed to have liquids flow only when the user inhales. If you hold a full tank cartridge up, you will see the liquid does not flow out. This is because the size of the hole and the surface tension of the liquid prevents it from flowing out. 


However, when a person inhales, it pulls liquid out of the tank. If a person inhales strongly or very quickly, it pulls lots of liquid out of the tank and the atomizer doesn’t have enough time to vaporize all of it. This leaves excess liquid on top of the atomizer. As the user continues to vape, this excess builds up and eventually leaks out around the atomizer. To solve this problem, first blow the excess liquids out of the atomizer cone. Then, try vaping again, but do not inhale too strongly or quickly. Another possibility is the user inhales but does not press the atomizer button quickly or long enough. The result is liquid will come out but not be vaporized. As you continue to use it, excess liquid builds up and starts to leak. 

The solution is to make sure you press the button as you start to inhale and press long enough to make sure all the liquid is vaporized. One other possibility is the tank cap is damaged. If you take the tank cap off often there is a chance of damaging that part of the lid. If part of the lid is damaged and liquid can come out of that damaged part, then when you inhale more liquid than the atomizer can burn will come out and eventually the excess will leak. The solution is to check for damaged cartridges and replace them if damaged. Also make sure the tank is pushed fully into the atomizer. If there is a space, excess liquids can build up there also

Be sure to get Original Unit, not fake knock off!

From recent marketing feedback, we receive many emails verifying if they are using genuine Joyetech products. At the same time, we find many distributors resell knock-offs in the name of Joyetech. Regarding this situation, we Joyetech decide to apply the use of barcode and serial number.

We have a specific barcode for every product’s package. Customers could check and verify on the support page on www.joyetech.com, which tells you detailed description of the corresponding photos and specifications.

With the release of eRoll, we began to apply for the serial number. Every product has its own serial number and each serial number has its corresponding security code. They are all randomly and solely generated by computers. Joyetech customer could check if the security code is in line with the serial number on www.joyetech.com to verify whether the product is manufactured by Joyetech or not.

Before delivery, Joyetech factory would scan the serial numbers and get them recorded with the corresponding orders. We will memorize them in our company server computer. Meanwhile, Joyetech distributors would also get serial number recorded in their sale. As a result, every Joyetech product could be traceable. Whenever customers need more information from our Joyetech or Joyetech distributors, only need to provide the serial numbers. Then Joyetech distributors or Joyetech service department would be able to provide further technology support and after-sale services.

Our Joyetech will pay more efforts to provide you with a better comprehensive guarantee on the basis of current barcode and serial number.

Thank you very much for your long-term support and trust.

Message from the Experts



DoctorE-cigarettes are not just a huge public health breakthrough. They are one of the most impressive examples of People Power of recent times, and should be mentioned alongside the Arab Spring and Occupy. I worked for years to promote smokeless tobacco as an alternative to smoking, but outside of a few populations, it never reached critical mass. But e-cigarettes seem to have mobilized an unstoppable push-back against the failed “quit or die” approach that those in power are trying to impose on an unwilling population.

The story is still being written, with new smokeless nicotine products, including improved e-cigarettes, coming out every year, but it seems pretty clear how it will play out. Smokeless tobacco paved the way, and gave us evidence, including my lab’s calculation that it is about 99% less harmful than smoking. While it will be years before we know if vaping has risks that are quite that low, we can be quite confident it is pretty close, and when combined with the popularity, that makes it a public health miracle that has come despite the efforts of the “Public Health” community to stop it
