Everything You Need to Know About Cigalike Vapes: A Beginner’s Guide

The Cigalike vape, created by Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik in 2003 after losing his father to lung cancer, was the first e-cigarette to hit the market. It aimed to deliver nicotine without the harmful substances found in tobacco smoke. Initially successful in China, it later made its way to the UK in 2005 and the USA in 2007.

Over the years, the Cigalike vape has undergone significant improvements and is now considered a valuable tool for adult smokers looking to quit.

Reasons to Choose Cigalike Vapes

Switching from smoking to vaping can greatly benefit your health by reducing exposure to cancer-causing toxins. Although the world of vaping can be overwhelming, especially for adult smokers, Cigalikes stand out for their simplicity and user-friendly design, resembling traditional cigarettes.

Understanding Cigalikes

A Cigalike is an e-cigarette that replicates the appearance and handling of a conventional tobacco cigarette. Consisting of a battery and a prefilled e-liquid cartridge, Cigalikes are compact and discreet.

Operational Mechanism of Cigalikes

Cigalikes function by activating the battery and heating the e-liquid when the user inhales through the mouthpiece. This process vaporizes the e-liquid, releasing nicotine, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and food-grade flavorings.

Understanding PG and VG in Vaping

E-liquids typically contain four primary components:

• Propylene glycol (PG) – a neutral liquid that carries flavors and nicotine.
• Vegetable glycerin (VG) – a plant-based liquid that produces dense vapor clouds.
• Nicotine
• Food-grade flavorings

Safety of PG and VG for Vaping

UK food authorities consider both propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin safe for consumption, as these ingredients are commonly used in various food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products.

Types of Cigalikes

There are primarily two types of Cigalike vapes: rechargeable and disposable. Rechargeable Cigalikes offer long-term cost savings, while disposable ones are perfect for beginners in the vaping world.

One popular choice for new vapers is the OK Vape Disposable Cigalike, which can be used immediately and discarded after use. These disposables are designed to simplify the transition from smoking to vaping, making it easier for adult smokers to quit. This makes them ideal for those looking to make a clean switch and avoid the initial complexities and costs associated with vaping.

Beginner-friendly Disposable Cigalike vapes would suit beginners or those who vape occasionally.

In contrast, Rechargeable Cigalikes are crafted for long-term use. Featuring replaceable cartridges and a rechargeable battery, these vapes offer long-term cost savings but do require minor maintenance. They naturally appeal to Disposable Cigalike users, providing enduring cost benefits.

Cigalikes Target Audience

Perfect for:

• Smokers transitioning to vaping.
• Those desiring a cigarette-like experience.
• Individuals seeking a simple, hassle-free vaping option.

How Long Cigalikes Last

The lifespan of a Cigalike varies based on individual vaping habits. The OK Vape Disposable Cigalike equates to approximately 40 cigarettes – roughly 400 puffs for an average user.

On the other hand, the rechargeable battery is built to endure longer periods. The Cigalike device itself can remain functional for months with proper care. However, cartridges deplete with use and will need frequent replacement. Light vapers may find Cigalike cartomisers last over 2 days, while heavier users require more frequent refills.

Health Concerns with Cigalikes

While Cigalikes are generally considered less harmful than conventional cigarettes due to the absence of tobacco combustion, they are not risk-free. Most e-liquids contain nicotine, a highly addictive substance.

Regulatory Compliance of Cigalikes in the UK

Cigalikes pose no more risk than typical vaping devices. Like pods and mods, Cigalikes aid smokers in transitioning to a less harmful smoking alternative.

Respected Cigalike brands adhere to relevant regulations regarding ingredients, labeling, and quality standards. OK Vape employs proven manufacturing and distribution procedures to ensure strict compliance with vape regulations.

Potential Ban on Disposable Cigalikes

Reports suggest that the government is moving towards banning single-use vapes, potentially including Disposable Cigalikes. Despite this, Disposable Cigalikes are likely to still be accessible to smokers through the NHS swap to stop scheme, an initiative aiding adult smokers in transitioning to vaping, despite the looming ban.
