About Vape
- QWhat is vape？
-
AAn electronic cigarette is a type of tobacco that uses electricity to inhale water vapor.
Referred to as "VAPE" in Western countries, it heats a flavored liquid using electricity, which is then inhaled as a misty vapor. Unlike traditional cigarettes, there is no risk of inhaling carbon monoxide, making it a popular alternative in Western countries where health concerns have led to a push towards smoking cessation.
- QHow is it different from traditional cigarettes?
-
AElectronic cigarettes don't use tobacco leaves or fire.
The biggest difference between electronic cigarettes and traditional paper cigarettes is that electronic cigarettes do not use tobacco leaves and don't rely on fire but instead use electricity. Therefore, there are numerous benefits to switching from traditional paper cigarettes to electronic cigarettes, including the following:
- "It is less harmful because it doesn't contain harmful substances such as tar."
- "It prevents passive smoking as there is no sidestream smoke generated."
- "It is smokeless as it only produces water vapor."
- "Choosing high-capacity and long-lasting liquid can help reduce running costs."
- "It has a stylish appearance and is popular among women."
- "It is effective for smoking cessation."
- "It is odorless and doesn't leave any smell on hair or clothes."
- "It doesn't produce cigarette butts, only requires refilling of the liquid."
- QDoes e-cigarette contain tar?
-
ANo, it does not.
E-liquids do not contain tar. As a result, they have gained attention for their ability to prevent passive smoking and their effectiveness in quitting smoking.
It should be noted, however, that both nicotine-free and nicotine-containing liquids are sold overseas. In the UK, nicotine-containing e-cigarettes are legally recognized as smoking cessation aids, and doctors may legally prescribe nicotine-containing e-cigarettes to help patients quit smoking.
- QIs an electronic cigarette disposable?
-
AThere are two types of electronic cigarette ; disposable and non-disposable.
Basically, an electronic cigarette is not disposable, and you can continue to use it by refilling the liquid when it runs out. When you first use an electronic cigarette, you'll need to purchase a starter kit. While the device itself is not disposable, you can refill the liquid and continue to use it.
Depending on how frequently you use it, using an electronic cigarette can be more cost-effective than traditional cigarettes. This is one of the advantages of electronic cigarettes.
- QHow much is the cost difference between regular cigarettes, heated tobacco products, and electronic cigarettes?

- QWhat are the main components of the liquid used in electronic cigarettes?
-
AThe main components of the e-liquid used in electronic cigarettes are PG (propylene glycol), VG (vegetable glycerin), flavorings, and purified water.
Unlike traditional cigarettes, e-liquids for electronic cigarettes do not contain harmful substances such as tar. The main ingredients of the e-liquid are "PG (propylene glycol)," "VG (vegetable glycerin)," "flavorings," and "purified water." Each of these ingredients is a low-toxicity food additive that is widely used in food-related products.
- QWhat is the difference between VG and PG in e-liquid?
-
AThere are the following differences:
VG (vegetable glycerin) base
- Thick liquid like honey
- Produces more vapor
- Provides a stronger lung hit (impact) than PG, but can cause irritation in the throat and a feeling of foreign substance in the entrance to the lungs, making the user cough. Because it is a thick solid, it can be difficult to refill the tank when the temperature is low.
PG (Propylene Glycol) base
- Thin liquid like water
- Produces slightly less vapor compared to VG
- It provides a soft and pleasant feeling when inhaled, without any foreign body sensation in the throat. Additionally, refilling the liquid is easy because it is thin.
- ※While there are differences in the amount of vapor and feeling when inhaled, the taste is mostly the same. Choose according to your preference.
【Nicotine strength (6mg-24mg)】
There may be some slight variations depending on the manufacturer, but for Apollo products, the nicotine concentration in the liquid is 0.15mg for regular cigarettes with 6mg, 0.35mg for regular cigarettes with 12mg, 0.6mg for regular cigarettes with 18mg, and 0.9mg for regular cigarettes with 24mg. Even with the same nicotine concentration, the sensation can differ depending on the electronic cigarette you use.
You can also mix liquids with different concentrations to enjoy your own preferred strength.
Some people find that they prefer a lower nicotine concentration than the cigarettes they used to smoke, and that taking a strong puff can make the experience feel milder.
If you find that 18mg isn't enough for you, we recommend mixing 24mg and 18mg liquids, or experimenting with different liquids and concentrations to create your own original blend.
- QWhat are the differences between IQOS, glo, and Ploom TECH?
-
AWhile electronic cigarettes use specialized liquid to produce vapor, heated tobacco devices use actual tobacco leaves.
Recently, you may have heard of IQOS, glo, and Ploom TECH, which are all examples of "heated tobacco devices" that heat tobacco leaves to produce vapor for inhalation.
The key difference between electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco devices is that electronic cigarettes use a specialized liquid as the source for vapor, while heated tobacco devices use actual tobacco leaves.
Heated tobacco devices are being touted as a way to reduce harmful substances in cigarette smoke by over 90% compared to traditional cigarettes. However, in many countries, including the US, heated tobacco devices that use actual tobacco leaves are not approved for sale, which is why electronic cigarettes (vapes) that heat up liquid to produce vapor are more commonly used worldwide.
Another major difference is the smell. Heated tobacco devices produce a tobacco odor due to the use of actual tobacco leaves, while electronic cigarettes produce the scent of the liquid flavor used.
- QWhat is the lifespan of an electronic cigarette? How long can it be used for?
-
AMany models of electronic cigarettes can be used for around 300 to 500 puffs.
The lifespan of an electronic cigarette can vary depending on usage and the specific product, but for models that use a battery, the estimated number of full charges is around 300 to 500. Turning off the power frequently when not using the electronic cigarette can also help to extend the battery life.
- QWhat do I need when I start using an electronic cigarette for the first time?
-
AYou will need an electronic cigarette device and e-liquid specifically made for electronic cigarettes.
To begin using electronic cigarettes, you will need an "electronic cigarette device" and "e-liquid specifically made for electronic cigarettes." There are various types of electronic cigarette devices and e-liquids, and if you try to gather them separately, you will need a minimum amount of knowledge.
Therefore, we recommend that beginners who use electronic cigarettes for the first time purchase a "starter set" that includes both an electronic cigarette device and e-liquid.

In addition, in the UK, electronic cigarettes with nicotine are legally recognized as a medical aid to quit smoking and can be purchased with a doctor's prescription. For those who find it difficult to quit smoking suddenly without nicotine due to nicotine addiction, it is recommended to switch to electronic cigarettes with nicotine at first and gradually aim to quit smoking.
- QCan I use electronic cigarettes anywhere?
-
APlease note that their use is prohibited in public facilities.
Unlike traditional cigarettes, electronic cigarettes do not generate harmful substances such as tar. However, some municipalities prohibit their use in public areas and transportation, similar to traditional cigarettes. Therefore, it is recommended to use them in designated smoking areas.
Regarding the use of electronic cigarettes in restaurants, it depends on each individual case. Therefore, it is advisable to check with the establishment before using them.
- QI'm concerned about the odor and secondhand smoke, but how about electronic cigarettes?
-
AYou don't have to worry about getting the smell on you or producing secondhand smoke.
Electronic cigarettes are gaining attention as a replacement for traditional cigarettes because they do not use tobacco leaves. The liquids used in electronic cigarettes do not contain harmful substances such as tar that cause tobacco stains on clothes or hair, or generate secondhand smoke.
By eliminating concerns about secondhand smoke, switching to electronic cigarettes can also help prevent health damage caused by passive smoking. For those who want to gradually quit smoking by giving up traditional cigarettes, switching to electronic cigarettes is recommended.
