Why is my VUSE 2 not working?

When vaping, you’re inhaling a vapour aerosol as opposed to smoke in a conventional cigarette. Vapour is vapourised liquid (eLiquid) – which means eLiquid turns into aerosol by a heating element in the vaping device, called an atomiser.

An electronic heating element is activated when the user draws air through the device. This vapourises the liquid formulation (often referred to as the eLiquid) and the vapour condenses to form an aerosol, which is inhaled and exhaled.

Vaping products are designed for adult smokers and adult users of nicotine products. They’re not suitable for use by: persons under the age of 18; persons who are allergic/sensitive to nicotine; pregnant or breast-feeding women; persons who should avoid using tobacco or nicotine products for medical reasons; or persons with an unstable heart condition, severe hypertension or diabetes. Keep Vuse products out of reach of children.

You must be of legal smoking age. Purchasing vaping products is prohibited for people under 18 years of age

In New Zealand, indoor vaping is prohibited at workplaces, restaurants, licensed premises, schools and early childhood centres (including outdoors).

Indoor vaping trial is permitted inside specialist vape shops such as Vusionry.

Users should always apply courtesy and common sense, check with the home owners first, and always be respectful with when, where and how you vape.

Don’t be confused by a % figure and think that means mg/ml. 1.1% means nicotine volume by weight and contains 12 mg/ml. Find out more about what’s in your eLiquids.
