At ecigone, we stock several device categories to suit all vaping preferences:
- Pod Systems: Compact, user-friendly devices that use replaceable pods. Perfect for beginners and on-the-go vaping. Available as both prefilled and refillable options.
- Pen-Style Kits: Slim, cylindrical devices offering simplicity with slightly more battery capacity than pods.
- Box Mods: Larger devices with external displays, adjustable settings, and longer battery life. Ideal for experienced vapers who want customisation.
- AIO (All-In-One) Kits: Versatile systems that combine the convenience of pods with some of the features of more advanced devices.
- Boro/Bridge Devices: Premium systems allowing for customisable builds and specialised vaping experiences.

There are two main vaping styles, each offering a different experience:
- MTL (Mouth to Lung): Similar to smoking a cigarette - vapour is drawn into the mouth first, then inhaled to the lungs. Uses higher resistance coils, tighter airflow, and typically higher nicotine strengths. Perfect for ex-smokers and those seeking stronger throat hit.
- DTL (Direct to Lung): Similar to taking a deep breath - vapour is inhaled directly into the lungs. Uses lower resistance coils, wider airflow, and typically lower nicotine strengths. Creates larger clouds and often delivers more intense flavour.
At Ecigone, we clearly label our products so you can easily find devices suited to your preferred vaping style.
E-liquid (also called Vape Juice) typically contains four main ingredients:
- Propylene Glycol (PG): Creates throat hit and carries flavour
- Vegetable Glycerin (VG): Produces vapour clouds and adds sweetness
- Flavourings: Food-grade additives that create various taste profiles
- Nicotine (optional): Available in different strengths or nicotine-free
All e-liquids we stock at ecigone are TPD compliant and manufactured to strict quality standards, ensuring a safe and enjoyable vaping experience.
Propylene Glycol (PG) is a clear, odorless liquid that serves several important functions in e-liquid:
- Creates the "throat hit" sensation similar to smoking
- Effectively carries flavours, making them more pronounced
- Thinner consistency that works well in higher resistance coils
- Used widely in food products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics
Higher PG liquids (50% PG or more) are ideal for mouth-to-lung vaping and pod systems. Some vapers may experience sensitivity to PG - if you notice irritation, consider trying a higher VG alternative from our extensive e-liquid collection.
Vegetable Glycerin (VG) is a thick, sweet liquid derived from plant oils that's responsible for:
- Producing dense vapour clouds
- Creating a smoother throat hit compared to PG
- Adding a slight natural sweetness to e-liquid
- Providing thicker consistency needed for sub-ohm vaping
Higher VG liquids (70% VG or more) work best in direct-to-lung devices with lower resistance coils. At ecigone, we stock e-liquids with various VG/PG ratios to suit all devices and preferences.
Sub-ohm vaping refers to using devices with coils that have a resistance below 1.0 ohm. This style of vaping:
- Produces significantly larger vapour clouds
- Often delivers more intense flavour
- Requires higher wattage and more battery power
- Works best with high VG e-liquids (70% VG or higher)
- Typically uses lower nicotine strengths (0-6mg)
Sub-ohm vaping is popular among experienced vapers looking for maximum flavour and cloud production. Check out our sub-ohm kits collection for devices specifically designed for this vaping style.
Properly priming a new coil prevents dry hits and extends coil life:
- Add a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the exposed cotton in the coil ports
- Assemble your tank with the new coil and fill with e-liquid
- Let it sit for 5-10 minutes (longer for higher VG liquids)
- Start at a lower wattage than usual for the first few puffs
- Gradually increase to your preferred wattage setting
Taking these extra few minutes to prime your coil properly will significantly improve its lifespan and your vaping experience.
Coil lifespan varies depending on several factors, but these signs indicate it's time for a change:
- Burnt or unpleasant taste when vaping
- Significantly reduced vapour production
- Muted flavour compared to a fresh coil
- Gurgling sounds or increased leaking
- Visibly dark/burnt appearance of the coil
On average, coils last about 1-2 weeks for regular vapers.
