Questions and Answers

Soll/muss man die Kappe am Refill nach dem Dampfen bis zum nächsten Dampfen wieder aufschieben damit das Liquide nicht von selber verdampft oder ist das nicht notwendig ??

Erwin Flandorfer

Solange sie kein Eindringen von Fremdkörpern (Krümmel, etc.) befürchten, können sie die Schutzkappe ohne negative Auswirkungen weglassen. Im normalen Verbrauchszeitraum stellt sich weder ein Verdampfungs- noch ein Verdunstungseffekt ein. Lagerung bei direkter Sonneneinstrahlung und bzw. oder hoher Temperatur gilt es zu vermeiden....

How does the nikoBlue e-cigarette work?

The nikoBlue e-cigarette works according to the principles of vaporisation. nikoBlue has two components: the accumulator battery also containing the technical parts, and the nikoBlue refill including the vaporisation unit. Each nikoBlue refill is equipped with its own vaporising unit, guaranteeing maximum enjoyment. The refill is filled with nikoBlue liquid and is equivalent to 20 cigarettes - the user can easily see how much he or she is consuming. The battery must be recharged at any USB connection using the USB charging adapter. When the battery is recharged, screw the refill onto the accumulator battery. nikoBlue is now ready for use. When you draw on the nikoBlue, the heating coil is activated via a pull switch, causing the liquid to vaporise. The blue LED lights up at the same time....

What is the battery life?

The battery cannot be recharged, does not work or does not work properly. What can I do?

Most problems with batteries happen when the inner coil becomes dirty. Please clean the battery inner coil from time to time with nail polish remover or pure alcohol, using cotton buds. The batteries will usually function normally afterwards. nikoBlue is the only manufacturer with an unlimited guarantee of exchange for the accumulator batteries. Of course, these small, slim batteries containing a great deal of technology in a very small space don't last forever, but their minimum life cycle is 300 recharging phases on average. However, if the battery falls to the ground, or if fine sand (on a beach) or damp get into it, it can suffer just like any other technical device. Sometimes the air intake opening may be dislodged, and you can try to clean it by blowing it out. In case the battery still does not function after taking these measures, please send the defective device to: Nikoblue.co...

Can the e-cigarette damage my health?

Even the most sceptical critics deem e-cigarettes to have at the most one tenth of the hazard potential of tobacco cigarettes, which is de facto below the potential posed by passive smoking. The e-cigarette has no tar content and produces no harmful combustion residue, as the liquid vaporises at a low temperature. In spite of efforts made by the tobacco and pharmaceutical industries to create a negative image of e-cigarettes, to date they have not been proven to damage health - e.g. in a sample in the USA, a tobacco-specific nitrosamine was found, whose concentration however was less than that found in a tomato. Nitrosamines are natural, carcinogenic plant substances occurring naturally in all nightshade plants, such as tobacco, potatoes, tomatoes etc. Nicotine is definitely unhealthy, but it's a substance that satisfies smokers. Nicotine provides an adrenaline kick, boosts concentration...

Can the e-cigarette explode?

Of course not. The nikoBlue battery is CE certified, and has an additional overheating protection function for safety purposes: when the temperature exceeds a certain point, it automatically turns off. Purported media reports on allegedly exploding e-cigarettes seem to be a desperate attempt on the part of the tobacco industry to drive these rival products from the market. Background and factual research into these reports generally produce no results, no reports of accidents and no warnings from the authorities, which seems uncommon, especially in the USA. If you have any reliable Information on occurrences like these, please send us the link by mail to niko@nikoBlue.com. We will be happy to conduct more research on the facts and make a new assessment.

Why are there negative reports?

The e-cigarette is a controversial innovation and has many powerful enemies. This is of course because the tobacco and pharmaceutical industries are afraid of the e-cigarette - especially the company that has had a virtual monopoly on smoking cessation products for 2 decades, and whose highly profitable range of products have seen their market share fall since the e-cigarette became so successful....
