How do Lucky Slicks electronic cigarettes work?

Lucky Slicks uses a rechargeable battery and when inhaling (smoking) triggers the microprocessor chip which then creates a unique vaporizing process that releases simulated smoke which is actually a vapor mist that evaporates into the air within a few seconds.

What makes up a Lucky Slicks electronic cigarette?

The Lucky Slicks electronic cigarette has 3 major components, lithium rechargeable battery, atomizer, and cartridge

Battery: The lithium rechargeable battery is assembled with a microprocessor chip and an indicator L.E.D. light on the end. The battery powers the atomizer and is activated when you inhale through the cigarette.

Atomizer: The atomizer is a miniature heating element that is powered by the battery and creates the vaporizing process. The atomizer screws into the base of the battery.

Cartridge: The cartridge is a plastic container that contains your liquid ingredients that the atomizer uses to create the vapor. It slips onto the end of the atomizer, this acts like the butt of a real cigarette.

What are e-liquids (e-liquids vs. cartridges)

E-Liquids are the same liquid that are in your cartridges, but can be purchased in larger amounts in bottles, which are then used with empty cartridges. Lucky Slicks is one of the only electronic cigarette companies that provide their own E-Liquids and empty cartridges to give their customers more flexibility and lower cost methods.

Although replacement cartridges are convenient, easy to replace, and easy to carry; the benefits of using E-Liquids are that you can reuse the cartridges again and again by just refilling them with your E-liquids.

To fill your empty cartridges with E-liquids we recommend about 5-8 drops. You will see the cartridge getting full while filling, but if you see a pool of liquid at the top too much has been used. Take a clean cloth and dab the excess, too much liquid can cause problems for the atomizer.

What is propylene glycol?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined propylene glycol to be "generally recognized as safe" for use in food, cosmetics, and medicines. It is used in food coloring, and flavoring, as an additive to keep food, medicines and cosmetics moist, and in machines that simulate smoke.

What are the base ingredients in the cartridges and e-liquids?

The primary cartridge ingredient is propylene glycol, and the secondary ingredients are water, nicotine and a flavor to replicate the taste of traditional smoking. Lucky cartridges contain none of the tar or additives found in most tobacco-based products.

  • Propylene Glycol - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined propylene glycol to be "generally recognized as safe" for use in food, cosmetics, and medicines. It is used in food coloring, and flavoring, as an additive to keep food, medicines and cosmetics moist, and in machines that simulate smoke.
  • Water – The water used in Lucky cartridges is filtered via a reverse-osmoses process.
  • Nicotine – Is an alkaloid found in certain plants, predominately tobacco, and in lower quantities, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, cauliflower, bell-peppers and some teas.
  • Ethanol – Is 200% proof alcohol (same as used in making alcoholic beverages, and is used to extract nicotine from the tobacco leaf.
  • Glycerol (glycerin) – Glycerol is a chemical compound also commonly called glycerin or glycerine. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. For human consumption, glycerol is classified by the FDA among the sugar alcohols as a caloric macronutrient.

Can I smoke Lucky Slicks anywhere?

Since Lucky Slicks are non-flammable, contain no tobacco and emit no second hand smoke, it can be used almost anywhere, even in some places where traditional smoking is prohibited. We have even had customers tell us that they have used them in restaurants and on airplanes. However, it is always best to check applicable local laws.

Do Lucky Slicks cost less than traditional cigarettes?

With ever-increasing taxes and price hikes on tobacco products, Lucky is here to save you money. If you average smoking one pack of tobacco cigarettes per day, at an average cost of $6 per pack, you would spend $2,190 per year.

Using the Lucky Slicks - Retro model at a similar rate would cost you approximately $547.50 per year, a savings of $1,642.50.

In fact, if you used Lucky Slicks as a smoking alternative product to tobacco smoking, by your 17th day you would start ringing up the savings.
