What are the four most popular Naked brand e-juices?

Hawaiian Pog lava Flow Really Berry Green Blast

External Battery Charger

Highly recommend with the purchase of a vape needing external rechargeable batteries.

Standard Resistance

Is the typical range of ohm ratings suitable for vaping device capabilities, commonly 1.8 to 3.0 ohms.

Memory Settings

Listed as M in a mod's menu, memory settings allow the user to save their preferred settings and use them in Memory mode.

Resistance

Measured in ohms, resistance depends on the thickness of wire used in a coil, the number of coils, the circumference of the coils, and how thick the coils are wound

Salt Nicotine

Nicotine salt e-juice allow consumers to vape higher nicotine strengths without the rough throat hit that is found in traditional e-juices when compared at the same nicotine level. For example, if you were to vape a 30mg e-juice made with freebase nicotine the throat hit would be intolerable, but if you were to vape 30mg e-juice made with nicotine salt the throat hit would be much smoother. Continue reading to understand what we are talking about!

Vegetable Glycerin

One of two base ingredients used in the production of e-liquid. Vegetable Glycerol typically produces more vapor than Propylene Glycol (PG). Users who are allergic to PG often use 90% or 100% VG solutions.

Propylene Glycol

One of two base substances used in e-liquid. PG is an over-the-counter substance used in many foodstuffs

What are the two most common types of loose wax atomizers found in concentrate vaporizers?

Quartz and ceramic

RTA

Rebuildable Tank Atomizer. Similar in look to sub ohm tanks however, RTA's require spun coil builds and strategically placed cotton. The juice hits the cotton through the cotton ports and uses capillary action to saturate the cotton. Advanced users only.

Voltage

Refers to the electrical potential of a power source

What is the most important thing to look for when selling rechargeable batteries?

Rips and tears in the plastic cover (Note: if there is exposed metal on the battery strongly urge the customer to buy a new one.)

Priming

Saturating the cotton ports with juice before use thereby breaking the coil in.

Stands for "light emitting diode." This is the light on the ends of cig-a-likes to simulate the glow of traditional cigarettes. It also doubles as a warning light when the battery need to be recharged

Name three Smok kits we sell in stored

What is the difference between the Evolve-D dry herb "vape" and all of our other name brand dry herb vapes?

The Evolve D is not a vaporizer in anyway. It is a portable combustion pen (aka it is burnt, not vaporized, by a hot coil) All higher priced/name brand vapes are true "vaporizers" (aka very hot air from a built in "oven" passes over the ground material and vaporizes it, causing the material to change to a darker browner color)

What is the best Sub-ohm tank for flavor?

The Freemax Mesh Pro

Wicking

The act of e-juice saturating the cotton and the coil efficiently.

Wattage

The amount of power consumed by the atomizer coil. The higher the wattage - the more vapor is produced. Higher wattages often lead to a diminishing of flavor and hot vapor

Kanthal Wire

The brand name that commonly refers to their iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) alloy wire used in high-wattage devices. This alloy has very slight temperature alterations, that's why not intended for use as an outer wrap of coils for the TC mode.

Cotton Tails

The end of a piece of cotton after it has been spun through a coil

Cotton Ports

The holes in a pre built coil where the juice can wick the cotton.

Battery

The main part of an e-cigarette, the term usually refers to vape pens and cig-a-likes that don't have replaceable batteries. The two types are manual and automatic. Automatic batteries are switched on by inhaling, while manual batteries require the user to press a button found on the side.

Silica

The most common material used for wicks, these have high melting points and can be torched or dry burned to remove dried residue from e-juice

18650 Battery

The most popular battery size for advanced e-cigs, these batteries give users decent power and battery life with less bulk

Rip Trippers

The most subscribed vape reviewer on YouTube.

Jai Haze

The most thorough vape reviewer on YouTube. (My opinion)

Coil

The part of the atomizer used to heat or vaporize e-liquid

Vapor

The result of atomizing e-liquid, this is also referred to as "clouds." This is the main factor in vaping that simulates smoke to give smokers a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes

Throat Hit

The sensation after vapor hits the throat. Many vapers look to simulate the harsh throat hit of cigarettes, while some prefer a smoother throat hit

E-juice or E-liquid

The solution that's vaporized to create vapor, e-juice comes in a variety of nicotine strengths and flavors. It is made from propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerine (VG), flavoring, and nicotine (there are also some without nicotine).

Ramp Up Time

The time between pressing the button on a mod, and the coil heating the cotton.

Ohm

The unit of measurement used for electrical resistance. A lower ohm reading for coils means hotter and thicker vapor, while a higher ohm reading means cooler vapes

What are two reasons why Mesh coils are better than standard round wire coils?

They taste better They last longer They heat more evenly They fire up faster

Dual Coil Tank

This is a type of tank or clearomizer that uses punched cartomizers with an e-liquid capacity ranging from 3ml to 6ml

Flooding

This is what happens when an atomizer is overfilled. A flooded atomizer is characterized by reduced vapor production accompanied by gurgling noises

Dripping

To refill an atomizer via drops of e-liquid straight onto the coil of an atomizer

Marrying Your Batteries

Using the same batteries (same amp output). Charging them together. Putting them into a vape together. Never separate those batteries.

Wick

Usually made from silica, other materials used for wicks include stainless steel mesh, organic cotton and ceramic. The main purpose of the wick is to hold and deliver e-liquid to the heating element of an e-cig in a controlled manner so as to prevent flooding

Which type of build is used in every sub ohm, pre built coil?

Vertical Build

Dry Hits

When the cotton is not properly wicking, the coil with heat up dry cotton. This produces an unpleasant burnt taste.

If someone came in looking for a "vape" to twist a cartridge onto, what would you show them/ tell them they need get?

a 510 threaded battery

Resistance Wire

a specific kind of metal wire that is used for coils (heating elements) that evaporate e-juice. The level of resistance affects the amount of vapor and flavor

Nicotine

a stimulating and highly addictive psychoactive drug in tobacco

Ribbon Wire

a type of resistance wire used for building coils which has a flat cross-section, rather than round, providing more surface area to conduct heat to the e-liquid. Users of ribbon wire claim that it provides better vapor and flavor production than traditional, round resistance wire.

How would one charge a 510 threaded battery?

from a usb port. One end of charger twists into the battery (after cartridge/atomizer has been twisted off) and the other side of charger goes into USB port

Box Mod

shaped like a box, these come in either mechanical or variable configurations. Some box mods are capable of housing up to four 18650 batteries. Typically wider, some users prefer these over tube mods for their shorter (thus, more pocketable) length. Box mods are also more powerful than their tube counterparts, with power outputs ranging from 20 watts to 200 watts.

MG strength

shows the amount of nicotine (in milligrams) in one milliliter of e-liquid. Written as mg/mL (milligrams per milliliter (mL)) for example, a "3mg e-juice" would contain 3mg of nicotine in each 1 mL of e-juice

Atomizer

this is the part of an e-cig that houses the coil and wick that is heated to produce vapor from e-liquid.

Nicotine

this is the substance found in cigarettes and some e-liquid to give smokers and vapors what is called a "nicotine high." Nicotine by itself is as harmless as caffeine, with both being vasoconstrictors.
