The correct steps and precautions for the first use of e-cigarettes
Unboxing inspection
Confirm the completeness of accessories: Check if the main body of the device, cigarette cartridgers, charging cables, and the instruction manual are all complete. Some brands may come with warranty cards or cleaning tools.
Visual inspection: Observe whether there are any scratches, cracks or leakage on the body, and whether the sealing plug of the cartridge is intact.
Charging preparation (if necessary)
First charge: If the device is equipped with a built-in battery, it is recommended to charge it to full charge for the first time (usually 1-2 hours) to avoid affecting the atomization effect due to insufficient battery power in the future.
Charging method: Prioritize the use of the original Type-C charging cable and avoid using fast charging heads (which may damage the battery).
Install cigarette cartridges
Align the interface: Align the metal contact at the bottom of the cartridge with the device slot, and gently press until you hear a "click" sound to ensure a good seal.
Avoid repeated plugging and unplugging: Frequent plugging and unplugging may cause the contacts to loosen or leak oil.
Stand still and wait (for some equipment)
Cotton core oil conduction: If a cotton core atomizer is used, it is recommended to let it stand for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the e-liquid to fully soak the cotton core and avoid dry burning.
Ceramic core equipment: This step can be skipped and used directly.
First use operation
Suction trigger: Some devices automatically ignite upon suction without the need for buttons. If you need to press a button, usually press it five times in a row to turn it on.
Small oral inhalation: For the first use, it is recommended to take small breaths and inhale slowly (1-2 seconds) to avoid excessive nicotine or a strong throbbing sensation.
Parameter adjustment (such as equipment support)
Power/voltage regulation: Adjust according to the recommended parameters of the cartridge (such as 3.0-3.7V) to avoid core burning due to excessive power.
Airflow regulation: Adjust the smoke volume and taste by rotating the air intake holes or replacing the pipe tips with different hole diameters.
Safety and Compliance
Prohibited for minors: E-cigarettes contain nicotine and are strictly prohibited from being sold or provided to minors.
Compliance with regulations: In some areas, the use of e-cigarettes is prohibited in public places, indoors or areas with a high concentration of minors.
Health risk
Nicotine dependence: For the first use, it is recommended to choose low-concentration cartrides (such as 3% or less) and gradually adapt.
Allergy test: People allergic to propylene glycol (PG) or vegetable glycerin (VG) should be cautious. Observe whether symptoms such as throat discomfort and rash occur after the first use.
Equipment operation
Avoid dry burning: If the device prompts "low battery" or "smokeless bomb", it is necessary to charge or replace the bomb in time to prevent the atomization core from burning out.
Oil leakage prevention treatment: If oil leakage is found, stop using it immediately, wipe the surface of the equipment with a paper towel, and check whether the sealing plug of the cigarette cartridge is loose.
Usage environment
Keep away from high temperatures and humidity: Avoid placing the device in direct sunlight, high-temperature environments inside the vehicle, or damp places such as bathrooms.
Dust-proof and foreign object protection: The air intake holes of the smoke bombs should be kept clean to prevent blockage by dust or fibers.
Maintenance and upkeep
Regular cleaning: Use a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of alcohol to wipe the interface of the cigarette cartridge and the contacts of the equipment to prevent oxidation.
Long-term storage: If the device is not used for a long time, the cartridges should be removed, charged to 50% of the battery capacity, and then sealed for storage.
The core of the first use of e-cigarettes lies in standardized operation and safety awareness. By installing the cartridgers correctly, adjusting the parameters, paying attention to health risks, and maintaining the equipment regularly, the user experience can be significantly enhanced. If you encounter any problems, contact the brand's after-sales service first or refer to the official tutorials to avoid disassembling the equipment by yourself and causing damage.
