angel question mark

UPDATE: The Great Vaping Quiz is now over. If you’d like to know when we run more quizes like this, make sure to sign up to our newsletter in the right sidebar or join our facebook page here.

5 Days
5 Questions
6 Great Prizes

Over the next 5 days I will be posting 5 questions.

Each day one person who has answered the question correctly.will win our smoker’s halo electronic cigarette kit (changable for a tank kit if you prefer using e-liquid). On the final day one person who has answered all questions correctly will also win a £50.00 voucher to spend on either ecigarette direct or The Smoker’s Angel.

You can answer your questions in any of the following places:

Day 5

E Cigarette Direct  sell two kinds of e-cig kits: a cartomiser kit and a tank system. What’s the difference between them?

Answer: Although there are many ways to answer this, essentially a cartomiser kit has s disposable cartridge with an inbuilt atomiser. That means it is a two part e-cigarette, and you just throw the cartridge away when you are finished with it. A tank system, however, is a three part e-cigarette with a separate cartridge which you fill with e-liquid.

Congratulations to Ria Cash, who won an electronic cigarette kit, and to John Skeffington, who has won our bonus prize of a £50 pound voucher. John and Ria, could you please email me on james.dunworth@ecigarettedirect.co.uk so I can send you your prizes.

Day 4

What is the main reason people switch to vaping?

Because of the smoking ban
To save money
For health reasons
Because they prefer e-cigarettes

Background: We’ve run several surveys on this (including one run and published on this blog), and one answer always wins by a mile. Can you guess which one it is?

Answer: While all four are valid reasons to switch, according to several surveys we have run, people switch to the electronic cigarette for health reasons. Here’s the results of one survey:

Why people switch to the e-cigarette

See Why We Switched to Electronic Cigarettes: User Stories for more information (and fantastic personal stories.)

Winner: Congratulations to Ian Shaw who won an electronic cigarette kit on Day 4. Ian, can you please contact me on james.dunworth@ecigarettedirect.co.uk and let me know what kit you would like!

Day 3

Why might someone use a vegetable glycerine (vg) based e-liquid instead of a propylene glycol (pg) based e-liquid?

Congratulations to Val, who wins our third prize. (Val, we’ve emailed you!)

The Answer:

The most common reason people use a VG based e-liquid is because of an allergy to propylene glycol. Other possible reasons include a preference for vapour, for a smoother vape or for a sweeter taste. Many e-liquids include both pg and vg, the strengths of which can be adjusted to change the amount of vapour/throat hit the liquid produces.

Day 2

When were electronic cigarettes invented?
Answer: This proved a trickier question than I had anticipated, as some websites claim that the e-cigarette as we know and use it now was invented in 2004. The other answer commonly given, 2003,is the correct one, as Ruyan, the original manufacutrer of the electronic cigarette, stated in a press release on its website that:

Ruyan established a private company, SBT to manufacture and distribute “electronic cigarette” technology under the “Ruyan” brand in 2003.

Several people referred to Herbert A. Gilbert’s smokeless tobacco cigarette, patented but never created in 1963, and we also accepted this as a correct answer.

Next question coming up shortly!

Day 1

 Which of the following is NOT a word for electronic cigarette?

e-cig
personal vaporizer
vapehaler
electric cigarette

Well done to everyone who got the right answers – which was vapehaler.

We put all the winner’s names into a random name selector and the winner was:

Carla Knight

    Day 5 – The cartomiser kit is a simple two part system, the cartridge is already filled with liquid, just screw it to the battery and you are ready to go. The tank system has to be filled manually with the fluid.

  13. carole corlett 3 weeks ago  

    Health is the most important reason. If you are healthy you can achieve anything you want – without good health you are unable to do anything.

    CARTOMISER KIT IS EASY TO USE2 PARTS CARTRIDGE IS ALL READY FILLED&BATTERY YOU SCREW TOGEATHER &SMOKE

  17. Andrew 3 weeks ago  

    The Cartomiser is a two part system made up of a battery and and atomiser which is quick and easy to use and change flavour on the go,The Tank system is three parts made up of battery, atomiser and cartridge which you fill with your preferred e-juice flavour ahead of use.
    To sum up Cartomiser for on the go and Tank system for those with time to spare

  18. andy hearnden 3 weeks ago  

    The major difference is the that a cartomizer style Ecig – like my HALO, is a two piece design, consisting of a battery (rechargeable on the HALO) and a pre-filled ‘tank’ consisting of the atomiser and the flavoured medium containing the nicotine. You just screw one to the other, no fiddly refilling and then enjoy!
    The Tank system has separate units for the nicotine container (tank) – which is filled and then refilled by the user, an atomiser (the heating bit!)- which is replaced periodically, a battery and a bottle of eliqud (the nicotine bit!).

  19. connie haught 3 weeks ago  

    halo regular kit is a 2 piece design ,prefilled cartos and battery, the tank is unlike our standard kit, these sleek pen-style e-cigarette looks very different from a regular cigarette
    before inhaling, you click a button to activate the atomiser
    atomisers come seperately, and are pushed into the battery
    cartridges come blank, and are filled with e-juice prior to use
    e-liquid needs to be dripped onto the atomiser before use

    Day 5 – The cartomiser kit is a simple two part system, the cartridge is already filled with liquid, just screw it to the battery and you are ready to go. The tank system has to be filled manually with the fluid

  21. ria cash 3 weeks ago  

    Day 5 the cartomizer has the atomiser built in the tank has it seperate.the tank also had to be refilled. The cartomizer is handy to get up and go with no messing.I personally prefer the tank seems to last longer and can see when its running low x

  22. Lynn Wilkinson 3 weeks ago  

    The cartomizer is a 2 part system consisting of the battery and a disposable cartridge.
    The tank sysyem has to be manually filled with e-juice fluid.

  23. LouPop13 3 weeks ago  

    I had trouble loading the page for Day 4′s quiz, and although most people switch for health reasons, I personally switched for that… and a bit of curiosity at 1st. Along with the strict no smoking laws where I live and the increasing prices of cigs… I have also found that they have helped with my anxiety/panic disorder, too!!

  24. LouPop13 3 weeks ago  

    Day 5: The Cartomizer kit consists of 2 pieces… a battery, and a cartomizer (which is an atomizer and cartridge combined) and contains a filler that the holds the liquid. While the Tank kit has 3 parts… a battery, atomizer and tank cartridge (which has no filler in it).

  25. allan 3 weeks ago  

    The cartomizer is simpler, ie 2 parts. The Atomizer has 3 parts with the Eliquid going into a tank and them being heated in a seperate atomizer. Although it takes a bit more effort the tank kit is more versatile, (more choice of flavours)is cheaper to run and some say more pleasurable. (I am new to Halo and enjoying it immensely but will try the tank system soon.)

  26. Mark 3 weeks ago  

    Day 5

    The Cartomiser contains the atomiser and is already prefilled
    with eliquid, just replace the cartomiser each time and it’s the same as replacing the atomiser and cartridge on some electronic cigarettes.
    The Tank system has a seperate atomiser and a tank for eliquid
    which means you can fill up and vape for longer.
    The tank has a manual battery – you just have to press a button to activate the atomiser.

  27. Shea 3 weeks ago  

    The difference is one is a 2 piece system with a cartomizer filled with batting to hold the eliquid fairly inexpensive to replace and refill. The tank system is a type of atomizer with a piercing plate and a small cartige/tank that pops into the atomizer and supplys liquid to the coil and can be somewhat expensive to replace. In essence a carto is nofuss no muss while the tank system takes a bit of effort to use.

  28. henry haught 3 weeks ago  

    halo reg kit is a 2 piece design for easy vaping, carto is disposable,the tank system uses a refillable tank you put e juice in. you fill the tank push into the atty and press the button on the batt an your ready to vape! yum yum!

  29. John Skeffington 3 weeks ago  

    The halo cartomiser system has 2 parts, a battery and a cartomiser. These 2 parts screw together and do all the work for you, all you have to do is chose which strengths and flavors you would like to vape.

    The halo tank system has 3 parts, a battery, atomiser and cartridge. You fill the cartridge with e-liquid, which again comes in various strengths and flavors, then put together and vape away.

    Some people prefer the cartomiser for the convenience, but others prefer the tank as they can control the nicotine and tobacco flavors.

    I think one comes with pre-filled cartridges and the tank you fill your own.

    VG – Vegetable Glycerin is used, usually, by people with allergies or.
    sensitivity to PG…. The vast majority of e-liquid you will find will be PG based; if.
    you are new to… Propylene Glycol generally produces sweeter juices, and less.
    vapor.
