There are various versions of electronic cigarettes available, but they are all based on the same concept. Within the mouthpiece is an absorbent material that is saturated with a liquid nicotine solution. The mouthpiece screws on to the white tube, which is made of a type of metal. There is no need to worry about it getting hot and burning you though, as there is nothing actually alight in it.  The only heated part of an electronic cigarette is the cartridge which contains the liquid nicotine. The heater runs off a lithium-ion battery, which can be recharged as often as you want in a wall socket or via an-car charger. It depends on the type of battery used, and how often you use it, but you can expect the battery to last for a least a couple of days before needing to re-charge it.

 

The nicotine solution in an electronic cigarette will, of course, run out over time, but the good news is that you can buy refills. Therefore, you do not need to keep buying a new electronic cigarette every week. As well as nicotine, the solution also contains either propylene glycol or glycerin. Though the names of those chemicals do not sound too friendly, they are actually not harmful at all, and are both commonly used in food additives. You can choose between a range of different concentrations of nicotine solution, depending on how addicted you are to nicotine. 4mg/ml is the lowest concentration, and 50mg/ml is about the highest.  You should aim to steadily reduce the concentration of the nicotine solution that you use. Start off with a concentrate that works out equal to the number of normal cigarettes that you have been smoking (you can use a free online tool to do this) and then reduce the concentration of the nicotine solution used for the electronic cigarette on a weekly basis. It will depend on how much you are smoking now, but it is not unrealistic to be able to cut out your nicotine addiction within a couple of months.

I’m trying to get underneath the cigarette lighter socket in my 2005 Corsa SXi to see if its connected properly or replace it if nessecary, but not sure how to get under there? Anyone know how to? Thanks?

If the socket is loose, there is a metal ring that screws onto the lighter housing and tightens a bracket, clamping the lighter in place. If it’s not a loose lighter and you wish to check the electrical wiring, all you really need to do is use a test light to check the center contact inside the area you plug the lighter into. Many after market items such as cell phone chargers don’t always fit perfectly in the lighter socket and cause a brief short circuit and blow the fuse.

Hello, my 91 honda civic hachback comes without a cigarette lighter and i bought the whole kit to install it in the car but it didnt come with directions. If some one can help me with a website or something to help me get this installed into my 91honda civic hatchback. THANKS !

You should buy a Honda Civic Service manual for the year and model of your car. This will help you locate where all the screws are for the panel you plan to install your cigarette lighter.

If you are simply replacing an existing cigarette lighter, then it should be easy to do. Remove the panel then unscrew and pop out the old cigarette lighter. Reconnect the positive (red) and negative (black) wire behind your cigarette lighter.

If you plan to install a cigarette lighter in a new spot, you’ll need to have a multimeter and the 2 wires that will serve as your negative and positive connections for your new cigarette lighter. Then you’ll need to extend a new wire from your cigarette lighter fuse from under your dashboard to the new spot for your cigarette lighter. The other wire can be tied to any metal frame or contact that serves as your ground terminal.

Turn your car to on and measure the voltage across the two wires at the new spot for your lighter. If it reads about 12 volts, then you can now connect and install your new cigarette lighter.

Good luck!

My car cigarette lighter is stuck in its socket. Using force is pulling the whole panel out. If I push the lighter in to charge, it does pop outward after charging, but not enough so that it can be removed. I am unable to use my GPS unit or other devices that need to be plugged in to the lighter socket. Please help!

I have just done this to my Ford. First …. check the fuses ….twice.
The inner part of your lighter is separate from the outer which is hidden behind the panel and is holding the lighter in. First pull the plunge part of the lighter out then you will need to try to get in behind the panel and turn the outer casing with a set of multi grips while holding the inner casing still with something similar, or vice versa. You should only have to unscrew a few screws to get access behind the lighter and once you have a hold of the lighter it should not take much to twist. The Auto shop will charge you $100 bucks to this simple job. And yes DON NOT put WD40 on it.
