Step-By-Step Checklist
- Unpack & Inspect — Check the tamper-evident seal and verify the TGA authentication hologram under light.
- Initial Draw Test — Take two gentle primer puffs without activating the battery to saturate the coil.
- Airflow Orientation — Identify the intake hole (usually at the base). Keep it unobstructed by clothing or fingers.
- Nicotine Sensation Check — After 5 normal puffs, assess throat hit. If harsh, slow your draw; if absent, verify 40 mg/mL label.
- Storage Rule — Store upright at 18-25 °C. Avoid glove boxes where temps exceed 35 °C.
- End-of-Life Signal — LED blinks 10 times or flavour drops >30 %. Dispose at a certified e-waste collection point.
