Smoking electronic cigarettes in pubs is proving more popular than ever.  The electric smoking device is a unique way of beating the smoking ban and providing a smoker with a realistic smoking experience just like a normal cigarette.

The Parkfield Inn, a chic and trendy public house near Manchester started to sell electronic cigarettes to regulars over a year ago.  The Parkfield Inn is located on Park Lane in Whitefield close to Manchester. It is an upmarket pub filled with young successful buisness people in the area.

Many pubs and bars throughout the UK allow the use of electronic cigarettes, but the Parkfield Inn was probably the first to sell the electronic cigarette over the counter to it’s customers back in 2008 and provide them with the freedom to smoke inside the pub legally. Customers can purchase cartomizer cartridges to fit VIP Electronic Cigarettes from behind the bar.

Electronic cigarettes are not affected by the smoking ban in the UK.

Get the most out of your VIP Electronic Cigarette by reading our top tips and tricks. We recommend not using the electronic cigarette too soon after smoking a normal cigarette. The strong flavour of a real tobacco cigarette could impair the taste of the electronic cigarette, but this can depend on the brand of tobacco cigarettes you use and if you are a heavy smoker.

When you draw or inhale the electronic cigarette will turn on, indicated by the glowing tip. When you stop inhaling, it will automatically stop producing vapour and the device will go into standby. The tip will also stop glowing. You simply draw on the electronic cigarette and inhale just as a normal cigarette. If you take a deep inhale, you will feel the warm vapour ‘hit’ your throat. Less smoke-like vapour will be produced when you exhale. If you inhale to a lesser extent more of the smoke-like vapour will be visible on the exhale. This is very similar to tobacco smoking. Drawing or inhaling to a greater or lesser extent will effect the feeling provided by the nicotine in the cartomizers. How deep and how often you draw will also effect how long a cartomizer will last before it needs replacing.

Most smokers When using a real tobacco cigarette feel the effects of nicotine after 1 or 2 inhales. The first few puffs of a normal cigarette take away the familiar craving. After 5 or 6 inhales the smoker loses interest in the tobacco cigarette because their craving has been satisfied and the cigarette burns down without being smoked. The effects of a real cigarette should be achieved in no more than 7 inhales of the electronic cigarette, by an average smoker.

There is a warning system to alert you of over consumption. The tip of VIP Electronic Cigarette cigarette will notify you by flashing 10 time if you inhale 16 times within 1 minute. If you continually draw on cigarette for more than 5 seconds, the tip will also flash 10 times. The warnings will not affect the operation of the electronic cigarette. Remember, 7 draws or puffs on the device is equal to 1 normal cigarette. One cartomizer cartridge compares to around 40 traditional tobacco cigarettes. A 20-day cigarette smoker will therefore require approximately 20 cartomizers for the entire month.

Which Strength of Cartomizers Do I need?

Based on the brand of tobacco cigarette you use, strength and how many cigarettes you smoke a day, we provide the following as a guide.
