Description
This product is the battery and device element that is to work with a prefilled pod that contains nicotine-containing e-liquid. This package contains one device. When used with a prefilled pod, this product is activated by the user placing the mouthpiece into their mouth and drawing on the same, this then supplies power in order to heat the atomiser to convert the liquid to vapour for inhalation. A white LED light indicates the product is in use, a solid red LED indicates charging and the LED changes to green when fully charged. There is a short circuit protection function which shuts down the device if it short-circuits or overheats, and the device LED will flash several times to indicate this. This also occurs when the pod is depleted of liquid and requires replacing. A USB charging cable is supplied. To charge the device, remove the pod and insert the USB charger port into the device, align the grooves and connect the USB charger to a power source.
