Preparing for Use

The Lithium-ion battery is supplied 'pre-charged' and can be used straight from the packet. Remove a cartomizer (cartridge) from the cellophane pack and discard the protective caps. Screw the battery onto the cartomizer by turning clockwise. Warning : If during installation of the cartomizer any ingredients come in contact with your skin, rinse immediately and thoroughly with clean water.

Recharging

Screw the battery clockwise into the USB charger. Plug the USB charger into a USB power source such as a PC or Laptop, or plug the USB charger into the mains adaptor, inserting the mains adaptor into a wall socket. When plugged in, the USB power indicator light will illuminate red at all times. The battery tip will glow either orange/or blue depending on your battery to indicate charging is in progress. Once charged, approx. 2 hours, the battery tip will stop glowing. Immediately remove from the fully charged battery from the charger. There is no need to deplete the battery before recharging.

Smoking the VIP Electronic Cigarette

Draw on the VIP electronic cigarette a couple of times to familiarise yourself with the e-cigarette. Inhale just as you would on a normal cigarette. This drawing or inhaling action will turn the device on, indicated by the glow of the VIP electronic cigarette tip. When you stop inhaling, it will automatically stop the vapour process, and the device will go into standby. The tip will also cease to glow. When you draw on the VIP electronic cigarette, you will taste the flavour. If you inhale deeply, you will feel the warm vapour in your throat, with less simulated smoke being produced when you exhale. Inhaling to a lesser extent will allow more of the simulated smoke to be visible on the exhale, similar to tobacco smoking. Inhaling to a greater or lesser extent will affect the feeling gained from the nicotine.

IMPORTANT TIP: How deep and how often you draw will reflect how long a cartomizer will last before it needs to be replaced. The simulation of smoking a real cigarette is equal to around 7 inhales.

VIP Cartomizer Care

Cartomizers should be kept in cool place, out of direct sunlight and in the unopened cellophane wrapper until needed. Keep cartomizers out of the reach of children and pets. If any of the cartomizer ingredients come in contact with your skin rinse immediately and thoroughly with clean water. If swallowed contact your GP. VIP cartomizers are designed to be used in the VIP electronic cigarette and visa versa and in accordance with the user instructions. Cartomizer shelf life is 12 months from time of purchase.

Battery Care

Batteries are consumable items and have a lifespan of around 150 charge cycles depending on useage and the care taken to prolong the lifepsan. If you allow batteries to fully deplete or store batteries in a fully depleted state for longer than 24 hours they will fail to re-charge. Batteries are not intended to be stored ie) Stored unused for a month. Always keep batteries fully charged. More information here : E Cigarette Rechargeable Battery Care

Possible Usage Problems

Should you experience little or no vapour, ensure that your battery is fully charged and properly attached to the device, and that the cartomizer is correctly fitted to the device. Replace the cartomizer with a new VIP cartomizer when the volume of vapour (smoke) is reduced below a satisfactory level.
