How is a SmokeStik safer than a traditional cigarette?
Answer
The most dangerous part of smoking is related to the burning of a cigarette.
There are more than 4,000 chemicals generally found in tobacco smoke. More than 50 of these are known to cause cancer. Most of the chemicals including carbon monoxide, benzene, formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide are formed when tobacco burns. The complete list of chemicals added to your cigarettes is too long to list here. To name a few: Ammonia, Arsenic, Benzene, Butane, Carbon monoxide, Cadmium, Cyanide DDT, Lead, Formaldehyde, Naphthalene...the list goes on! As a cigarette is smoked, the amount of tar inhaled into the lungs increases, and the last puff contains more than twice as much tar as the first puff. Tar is a mixture of substances that together form a sticky mass in the lungs. Most of the chemicals inhaled in cigarette smoke stay in the lungs. The more you inhale, the better it feels and the greater the build up in your lungs.
SmokeStiks DO NOT burn. They do not contain tar.
How long will a cartridge last?
Answer
That depends solely on your usage patterns. Some users will go through 1 or less cartridge a day, while others will go through 2 or even 3 a day. One cartridge is roughly equivalent to 1/2 pack of traditional tobacco cigarettes.
How often do I need to recharge the battery, and how long does it take to do?
Answer
Typically it takes about 3 to 4 hours to fully recharge the battery. Keep in mind, your SmokeStik package includes 2 batteries so that you can recharge one while the other is in use. The frequency of recharging your battery will depend on how often you inhale.

What is a SmokeStik?
A SmokeStik is a revolutionary device that resembles a traditional cigarette and fully recreates the smoking experience, including "smoke," without any harmful side effects.
It is a clean alternative to traditional cigarette smoking. It is free of carbon monoxide, tar, nicotine and the cancer-causing chemicals found in traditional cigarettes and cigars. A SmokeStik is essentially litter-less in that it is free of ashes and stubs. Also, it is much safer since it is free of fire.
What you are "smoking" is a mist or vapor. This vapor is created as the liquid in our replaceable cartridges are vaporized by a tiny component called the atomizer.
There are other generic "e-cigarettes" or "electronic cigarettes" on the market, but these others are nothing more than Chinese imports. When you want the best quality, a safe product and a company that will stand behind you, there's only one choice: SmokeStikUSA. It's the reason more than 200 celebrities and other high-profile persons use our product on a daily basis.
How Does a SmokeStik Work?
The mouthpiece contains a replaceable cartridge filled with liquid. The main substances contained in the liquid are propylene glycol and flavoring. Our products do NOT contain nicotine.
When you take a drag on the SmokeStik, the air flow is detected by a tiny sensor. A microprocessor then activates the atomizer which injects tiny droplets of the liquid into the flowing air and vaporizes it. This produces a vapor mist which you inhale - just like smoke from a traditional cigarette. It tastes and feels just like a regular cigarette, and you exhale "smoke," just like you would with a traditional cigarette. And, you get the "smoking" experience without any of the harmful chemicals or tar that traditional cigarettes contain! An orange LED at the tip of the device is also activated to simulate the burning end of a lit cigarette.
A high-density Lithium Ion battery powers the device and will last all day on a normal charge. Your starter kit will include two batteries so that you may use one while your second battery is recharging.
