E-Cigarettes

What is an e-cigarette?

An e-cigarette, also known as a vape, is a device that heats a liquid into a vapor for inhalation. The liquid typically contains nicotine, flavourings, and other chemicals.

What do I need to buy to vape?

To start vaping, you'll need an e-cigarette device, a charger, e-liquid, and replacement coils. Some kits come with everything you need to start vaping, while others require you to purchase e-liquid separately.

How much will an e-cigarette cost me?

The cost of an e-cigarette can vary depending on the type and model. On average, starter kits range from £20 to £50, while more advanced devices can cost up to £100 or more. Remember, you'll also need to budget for replacement coils and e-liquid.

Tanks/RDA’s/RDTA’s

How long should the coil last in my tank?

The lifespan of a coil can vary depending on usage, but on average, a coil should last between 7-10 days with regular use. Using sweetened e-liquids or vaping at high wattages can shorten the lifespan of your coil.

Why is my tank leaking?

A leaking tank can be caused by several factors, including worn O-rings, a worn coil, or cracked glass. If your tank is leaking, we recommend checking these components and replacing them if necessary.

What resistance or type of coil should I choose?

The type and resistance of coil you should choose depends on your device and your vaping preferences. Lower resistance coils (sub-ohm) are typically used for direct-to-lung vaping and produce more vapor, while higher resistance coils are used for mouth-to-lung vaping and provide a sensation like smoking a traditional cigarette.

I have changed my coil, now the tank won't fire.

If your tank won't fire after changing the coil, ensure the coil is properly installed and the tank is correctly attached to the device. If the problem persists, the coil may be faulty, or the device may need troubleshooting.

Can I use the same coil for different e-liquids?

Yes, you can use the same coil for different e-liquids. However, mixing flavours can result in a less pure flavour experience. If you're switching between vastly different flavours, you might want to consider using a new coil.

 

Batteries

My battery doesn’t seem to work anymore.

If your battery isn't working, try charging it fully. If it still doesn't work, it may be time to replace it. Always use batteries recommended for your specific device and never use a damaged or leaking battery.

My battery is damaged, can I still use it?

No, using a damaged battery can be dangerous. If your battery is damaged, replace it immediately. Always dispose of batteries according to local regulations.

How long should my battery hold charge?

The length of time a battery holds a charge depends on its capacity and how frequently you use your device. On average, a fully charged battery should last for a full day of moderate vaping.

How do I know if my battery is not a counterfeit?

Always buy batteries from reputable retailers like Fogfathers. We guarantee the authenticity of our batteries and provide batch testing results for your peace of mind.
