Frequently Asked Questions

How does NJOY work?

When using NJOY, the act of inhaling (smoking) triggers a vaporizing process that releases simulated smoke which is actually a vapor mist that evaporates into the air within a few seconds.

What are the leading reasons people use NJOY?

Most people who smoke, smoke because they enjoy the tactile, emotional and physical sensations. The leading reasons people use NJOY include:

  • No first or second hand smoke
  • Virtually odorless
  • No tar
  • Contains no tobacco
  • No more embarassment or guilt
  • Non-flammable, produces no smoke
  • Easy to use, convenient
  • "Tobacco-like" taste and flavors
  • Lower cost than traditional smoking
  • Won't stain teeth or damage skin.

How do the ingredients compare to those in tobacco smoking products?

The primary cartridge ingredient is propylene glycol, and the secondary ingredients are water, nicotine and a flavor to replicate the taste of traditional smoking. NJOY cartridges contain none of the tar or additives found in most tobacco-based products.

  • Propylene Glycol - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined propylene glycol to be "generally recognized as safe" for use in food, cosmetics, and medicines. It is used in food coloring, and flavoring, as an additive to keep food, medicines and cosmetics moist, and in machines that simulate smoke, although usage in simulating smoking devices is not currently included in the list of uses generally recognized as safe by the FDA. In NJOY, propylene glycol functions to provide the vapor mist that looks like smoke and to suspend flavor
  • Water - The water used in NJOY cartridges is filtered via a reverse-osmosis process
  • Nicotine - is an alkaloid found in certain plants, predominately tobacco, and in lower quantities, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, cauliflower, bell-peppers and some teas.
  • Ethanol - is 200% proof alcohol (same as used in making alcoholic beverages, and is used to extract nicotine from the tobacco leaf.
  • Glycerol (glycerin) - Glycerol is a chemical compound also commonly called glycerin or glycerine. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. For human consumption, glycerol is classified by the FDA among the sugar alcohols as a caloric macronutrient.
  • Acetylpyrazine - Used in the creation and/or manufacturing of cocoa, coffee, roasted peanuts, tea, beer, breakfast cereals, ice cream, candy, and other food products and nicotine cartridges and has been deemed safe for use by people.
  • Guaiacol - is an ingredient use to give the smoky taste.
  • Myosmine- is found in nut products, as well as tobacco
  • Cotinine- is metabolite of nicotine. Some studies have suggested that cotinine (as well as nicotine) improves memory and prevents neuron death
  • Vanillin- is used in the food industry as a flavoring agent in foods, beverages and pharmaceuticals.

What is propylene glycol?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined propylene glycol to be "generally recognized as safe" for use in food, cosmetics, and medicines. It is used in food coloring, and flavoring, as an additive to keep food, medicines and cosmetics moist, and in machines that simulate smoke, although usage in simulating smoking devices is not currently included in the list of uses generally recognized as safe by the FDA. In NJOY, propylene glycol functions to provide the vapor mist that looks like smoke and to suspend flavor.

What does NJOY taste and smell like?

Most users of NJOY will tell you the flavor or taste of our products closely replicate cigarettes. NJOY cartridges are available in popular smoking flavors like regular "tobacco" and menthol flavors.

The odor from NJOY is barely noticeable and does not linger, unlike traditional smoking products that create lasting, difficult-to-neutralize smells in rooms, cars and clothing. NJOY provides a way to smoke in places, depending on your location where its use may not be prohibited by statutes or ordinances that otherwise prohibit smoking.

How long does a cartridge last?

If you experience little or no vapor when using, ensure that your battery is fully charged and properly attached to the NJOY product, and that the cartridge is firmly inserted in the end of the product. When the vapor volume is reduced below a satisfactory level, replace with a new NJOY cartridge.

Store cartridges in a cool and dry place. Shelf life is 24 months from purchase date. You should never place other liquids in an NJOY cartridge and doing so will void the product warranty.

How long does the battery charge last?

An NJOY battery will last 1-3 days before needing re-charging, depending on the intensity and quantity of puffs. The indicator light tip will blink multiple times when the battery is getting low on power. We encourage you to carry with you an extra, charged battery.

Charge a new battery initially for about 3 hours. Subsequent recharges should take about 2 hours. A battery can be recharged in excess of 300 times before reaching its useful life. NJOY also offers an automobile cigarette lighter charger for your convenience, which can be purchased at www.NJOY.com.

NJOY uses a 3.6V special lithium battery and charger, which cannot be replaced by other lithium batteries or chargers. The input supply voltage of the charger is AC100-240V, 50/60Hz, or DC 12-24V. When traveling, ensure that the local electrical supply is in accordance with these specifications.

Does NJOY cost more or less than traditional smoking products?

Savings Calculator
Calculate

With ever-increasing taxes and price hikes on tobacco products, NJOY can save you money and is more affordable than traditional tobacco smoking.

If you average smoking one pack of tobacco cigarettes per day, at an average cost of $6 per pack, you would spend $2,190 per year.

Using the NCIG or NPRO at a similar rate would cost you approximately $1,050 per year, a savings of more than $1,000.

In fact, if you used NJOY as a smoking alternative product to tobacco smoking, by your 23rd day of using NCIG or NPRO, you would start ringing up the savings. Depending on what State and/or Country you live, the savings may vary!

Tell me more about NJOY's product styles?

The NPRO is similar in size to a traditional cigarette and comes in white, black, silver and burgundy colors. It weighs only 0.5 oz., measures 4 inches in length and is rechargeable.

The NCIG is a longer, stylish cigarette akin to those used in Hollywood in the mid-1900s and comes in black, white and burgundy colors. It weighs only 0.8 oz., measures 6 inches in length and is rechargeable.

Where does the "smoke" go?

NJOY emits what appears to be smoke but is actually a virtually odorless mist that evaporates into the air within seconds, similar to the functioning of a humidifier. NJOY leaves no visual residue in the air or lingering smell in clothes, a home or car, or other places, whereas tobacco smoking can leave an unsightly, acrid cloud known to irritate eyes and bother people's senses.

Can I smoke NJOY anywhere?

Since NJOY is non-flammable, contains no tobacco and emits no second hand smoke, depending on your location, its use may not be prohibited by statutes or ordinances that otherwise prohibit smoking.

Still, do not be surprised when people ask about you smoking NJOY. After all, to the casual observer, using NJOY creates the appearance of tobacco smoking. Customers report that simply explaining to others how NJOY works usually creates acceptance for using the product.
