JNR Shisha Plus 28K Blue Shigeri Puff - JNR x Fighter Fuel

The difference between an MTL (Mouth To Lung) and DTL (Direct To Lung) e-cigarette concerns the type of inhalation. With MTL, the vapour is first held in the mouth before being inhaled, as with a conventional cigarette. With DTL, the vapour is inhaled directly into the lungs, producing a larger volume of vapour, like a shisha. MTL is often recommended for new vapers who want to stop smoking, whereas DTL is aimed at more experienced vapers who have already successfully transitioned from tobacco to vaping.

To get started, it is advisable to choose an easy-to-use e-cigarette with few settings, moderate power and a tight draw (MTL). Pod kits or beginner kits are generally the most suitable for a successful first experience. However, some new vapers who are comfortable with settings and maintenance may prefer more advanced, adjustable equipment. It all depends on each person’s confidence level.

A heavy smoker will need a reliable e-cigarette with good battery life (between 1200 and 5000 mAh) and a tight draw to absorb nicotine more effectively and avoid cravings. Versatile kits compatible with MTL and RDL (a tight or slightly airy draw) are often an excellent compromise for an effective transition to vaping. This e-cigarette should be used with nicotine salt e-liquids to effectively address cravings.

The lifespan of an e-cigarette depends on its quality, maintenance and frequency of use. On average, a well-maintained kit can last several months or even several years, with only wear parts such as coils or cartridges needing replacement. The lithium battery inside an e-cigarette is estimated to have an optimal lifespan of 300 charge/discharge cycles before gradually declining. To extend this lifespan, make sure you charge your e-cigarette using mains chargers rated at no more than 1A (unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer), in order to minimise heating of the electronics.

Good news! E-cigarettes are becoming increasingly accessible for all budgets, and you are in the right place at Le Vapoteur Discount to enjoy the best prices online. The average purchase price of an e-cigarette is estimated at €35. You will find e-cigarettes from €10 for the smallest models, as well as €80 for the most advanced ones.

E-cigarettes are considered significantly less harmful than conventional cigarettes because they do not rely on combustion. They are mainly used as an alternative to tobacco to reduce the risks associated with smoking. They are often described as "a healthier alternative" to tobacco or as a "smoking cessation aid" for conventional cigarettes. When used properly (preferably with MTL), combined with good e-liquids (French-made and certified) and maintained regularly (cleaning and changing the coil every 2 weeks), they become a very effective tool for quitting tobacco, which is highly dangerous.

Many smokers use e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid. By replicating the gesture, sensation, inhalation and nicotine delivery, they make it easier to gradually stop smoking. Success depends on using them appropriately: the right inhalation style (MTL), the right flavour, the right nicotine strength, the right design and a level of maintenance that suits the vaper. Every smoker is unique and will require a strategy tailored to their needs, but the latest studies (such as the Cochrane review of 1 March 2025) show that: "Nicotine e-cigarettes can help people to stop smoking for at least six months. Evidence suggests they work better than nicotine replacement therapies, and probably better than nicotine-free e-cigarettes.". Using nicotine salt e-liquids may also be beneficial: "However, we still need evidence, particularly on the effects of newer types of e-cigarettes that deliver nicotine better than older ones, as better nicotine delivery could help more people to stop smoking."

Most e-cigarettes offer automatic power adjustment by detecting the coil resistance value (auto or smart mode). Other models offer precise manual adjustment. To find the right power setting for your e-cigarette, check the recommendations printed on the coil (or pod cartridge). You will find the recommended power range for optimal use. Tip: if your coil is new, leave it to soak in e-liquid for a few minutes so that it does not burn on first use. Also set the power to the lowest level recommended by the manufacturer for the first few puffs.

Maintaining an e-cigarette is straightforward. It mainly involves cleaning the tank or cartridge and replacing the coil when it is worn out. Regular maintenance ensures healthier vaping, better performance and a longer lifespan. On average, a coil should be changed every 2 to 3 weeks at most. Take the opportunity to thoroughly clean your clearomiser or cartridge. The drip tip alone can be cleaned with soapy water every day if you wish.

An e-cigarette with an integrated battery recharges directly via a USB cable and is easy to use. Models with removable batteries allow the battery to be replaced, often offering greater battery life, more power and better longevity, but they require slightly higher initial costs, more knowledge and additional equipment to charge and carry these batteries safely.

Yes, you are allowed to take an e-cigarette on a plane, but only in the cabin. It must be switched off and not used during the flight. Batteries are prohibited in checked luggage for safety reasons. As for your e-liquids, they must not exceed 100 ml when travelling with you in the cabin. Remember to carry your e-liquid bottles and clearomiser (or pod cartridge) in a sealed plastic bag. They may leak due to changes in air pressure inside the aircraft.

If you are travelling abroad, remember to check the legislation regarding e-cigarettes. Some countries prohibit their use and may expose you to fines (examples in 2026: Cambodia, India, Laos, Qatar, Singapore and Thailand). Others allow you to possess an e-cigarette, but you will not find vape shops where you can buy e-liquids.

An e-liquid (or e-cigarette liquid) is the product that generates vapour when heated by the coil in an e-cigarette. Unlike conventional cigarettes, there is no combustion. E-liquid is made up of a base (propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine), flavourings and, optionally, nicotine. It determines the flavour, throat sensation, cloud production and overall vaping experience.

An e-liquid generally contains four components:

• propylene glycol (PG), which carries the flavourings, enhances the throat hit and provides a sensation similar to that of a cigarette;
• vegetable glycerine (VG), responsible for vapour and cloud density;
• flavourings, which provide the flavour (fruit, mint, classic blond tobacco, dessert, ice, etc.);
• nicotine, which is optional and helps manage cravings in vapers who are quitting smoking.

Some formulations also use alternative plant-based bases (Végétol) for greater smoothness.

An e-liquid containing nicotine is intended for vapers who want to replace conventional cigarettes. Nicotine affects the feeling of satisfaction and helps limit cravings. Nicotine-free e-liquids are used either at the end of smoking cessation or purely for the enjoyment of vaping, although vaping is not recommended if you are not a smoker. Choosing the right nicotine strength is essential to avoid a poor experience (irritation or cravings). The nicotine dosage depends on your previous cigarette consumption. A light smoker will not have the same needs as a heavy smoker. A strength that is too low can lead to frustration and relapse, while a strength that is too high can cause throat discomfort. The aim is to find a balance between throat hit, sensation and vaping comfort, adjusting gradually if necessary. A low nicotine strength of 0, 3 or 6 mg/ml is generally recommended for light or occasional smokers (fewer than 7 cigarettes a day), while a high strength of 20 mg/ml nicotine salt is recommended for heavy smokers (1 pack of cigarettes or more). However, this dosage can be adjusted according to your e-cigarette and the way you vape.

Nicotine salt is a more stable form of nicotine that is gentler to inhale. It provides rapid absorption with a less harsh throat hit, even at high strengths. Nicotine salt e-liquids are particularly suited to beginner vapers, former heavy smokers and low-power MTL kits. Nicotine salt is available in different strengths. The best-known and most effective is 20 mg/ml, which is very suitable for heavy smokers. However, a 10 mg/ml strength may be perfectly suitable for a regular or occasional smoker.

A nicotine booster is a nicotine-concentrated bottle designed to be added to a large-format e-liquid. It allows you to adjust the final nicotine strength according to the amount added. Flexible and economical, this solution lets you boost your large-format e-liquid to 3 or 6 mg/ml of nicotine. For a 50 ml e-liquid, adding one nicotine booster will give you 3 mg/ml, while two nicotine boosters will turn your e-liquid into 6 mg/ml.

The propylene glycol / vegetable glycerine ratio has a major influence on vaping.

• An e-liquid high in propylene glycol, or PG (70/30, 80/20), promotes throat hit, flavour precision and discreet vaping. The e-liquid will be fluid and compatible only with tight-draw MTL equipment to prevent leaks.
• An e-liquid high in vegetable glycerine, or VG (30/70), produces more vapour and larger clouds, with a smoother, sweeter sensation. This thicker e-liquid is compatible with sub-ohm or shisha-style e-cigarettes, producing large vapour clouds at high power.

The choice therefore depends on the power and compatibility with your e-cigarette. If in doubt, the most common ratio remains 50/50 PG/VG. Balanced, it allows versatile use with MTL, RDL and light DTL e-cigarette models, at around 15 to 40 watts.

Vegetable-based or Végétol e-liquids replace traditional propylene glycol. They are often gentler on the throat, better tolerated by some vapers sensitive to PG, and provide smoother vaping without compromising flavour. However, they should be used in MTL mode at low power (30 watts minimum) to avoid leaks and preserve product quality.

Yes, CBD e-liquids are designed for vaping and generally contain no nicotine. They offer a different sensation focused on relaxation, without addictive effects. They should be used at moderate power to preserve product quality. Choose a tight-draw MTL e-cigarette for them.

E-liquids are considered a much healthier alternative to smoked tobacco. They are formulated from ingredients certified as safe for health, unlike the 7,000 harmful substances in traditional cigarettes. However, to choose a safe e-liquid, certain precautions should be taken, such as buying your e-liquid from a recognised retailer like Le Vapoteur Discount or checking its composition and origin by choosing reputable, tested brands.

An e-liquid made in France complies with strict requirements and European directives on traceability, testing and safety. As a guarantee of quality and transparency for consumers, French and European brands generally have their own laboratory to develop their e-liquid formula and are required to have the formulation assessed by an independent laboratory before it is placed on the market. These steps ensure e-liquids are safe for vapers. These French and European quality standards prohibit undesirable substances and provide a safer framework for vaping.

To keep your e-liquid for as long as possible and preserve its quality, flavour and colour, keep it in its original bottle and ideally away from light, heat and air. Despite these precautions, e-liquid may sometimes take on a slightly brown tint. This colour is harmless and suitable for use, caused by nicotine oxidation, and may also depend on the flavouring used in the e-liquid. It is generally recommended not to keep the same e-liquid in your clearomiser or pod cartridge for more than 5 days if you are not using it, to avoid leaks and excessive oxidation.

The DLUO (best-before date) or DDM (minimum durability date) is an indicative date. Once an e-liquid has passed this date, it may lose some of its flavour qualities and appearance, such as colour and fluidity. An e-liquid leaving the factory will have a minimum durability date of around 2 years. Even after this date, the e-liquid remains suitable for vaping and will not be harmful to health.
