Most vape devices use a coil and wick system to heat e-liquid.

This heating method is similar to the mechanism in an oil lamp: a heating coil wrapped around a wick made of cotton or silica.

When the device is activated, the coil and wick heat up to vaporise e-liquid, which then partially re-condenses as a mixture of gas and liquid droplets – the vapour you inhale.

‘Dripping’ e-liquid directly onto the heating element of a vape atomiser instead of feeding it in through the clearomiser.

We do not recommend dripping with Vuse devices. Please use your device correctly by referring to the user manual.

This happens when a vape runs out of e-liquid; the wick is dry and can burn, making the vapour taste unpleasant.

If you’re using a closed system device, change the flavour cartridge to correct this.

If using an open system vape, refill the clearomiser with e-liquid or change the atomiser and wick.

A dry hit can also be caused by having the airflow or power settings too high – try lowering both.

An inhalation technique where vapour is drawn directly into the lungs without holding it in the mouth (like taking a deep breath).

The liquids you put into your device to vape. We make our eLiquids using propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerine (VG) in various flavours with and without nicotine.

In the world of vaping devices, like many tech products, ‘generation’ is roughly the same as the word ‘version’, used when referring to a particular product (vaping device) or component.

This line of numbers probably doesn’t mean much to most people, but here at Vuse, it means a great deal.

ISO 9001:2008 is a strict specification of quality management standards from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a network of national standards institutes from 163 countries.

The light on a vape device; the LED usually glows when in use.

The type of battery used in all Vuse devices.

An acronym in the description of batteries that means ‘milliamp hour’, a measure of battery charge capacity.

If two batteries have identical voltage, then the one with a larger mAh will last longer.

One-thousandth of an ampere – a measure of the amount of electrical charge flowing past a circuit point at a specific time.

An inhalation technique where vapour is drawn into the mouth and held for a few seconds before being passed into the lungs.

This vaping method is often compared to smoking a traditional cigarette.

Nicotine occurs naturally in several varieties of plants but is found in the highest quantities in the tobacco plant.

Found mainly in the leaves of the tobacco plant, where nicotine exists in a salt form.

The nicotine salts in tobacco have been recreated in e-liquid by adding an ingredient which reacts with nicotine to form a nicotine salt.

In ‘salt’ form (protonated nicotine), nicotine is more stable than in other e-liquids.

A type of e-liquid that doesn’t contain any nicotine.

A unit of electrical resistance named after German physicist Georg Simon Ohm. In vaping, measurements of resistance usually relate to the heating coil in the atomiser. The lower the resistance, the hotter the coil can get.

Vuse devices are designed for safe charging, with over-voltage protection and a timed cutoff system.

Please don’t use alternative or unbranded charging cables or AC adaptors, as they may not be compatible with Vuse devices and may even be counterfeit.

One of two primary ingredients in e-liquid; colourless, clear and nearly odourless. 

Some vapes are activated by pressing the power button; others are ‘puff activated’, which means they’re activated when consumers take a draw. 

How much electrical current the heating coil of a vaping atomiser allows, measured in ohms. The lower the resistance, the hotter the coil can get.

The technology that controls the temperature inside a vape device for safety reasons and to produce a better vape.

The feeling when the vapour hits the back of your throat.

A kind of APV (advanced personal vaporiser) where the device is tube-shaped with a mouthpiece at one end.

A natural, colourless and odourless ingredient, one of the two primary e-liquid ingredients. 

A measure of the rate at which electrical energy is used by any electrical product. The wattage number measures the power used by a Vape device. Usually, the higher the wattage, the bigger the vapour cloud.
