Frequently Asked Questions

What are Vapourettes?

Vapourette (vay-por-ret) noun – a rechargeable, portable, vaporizer that mimics the cigarette smoking experience without all the harmful toxins, rigid social constraints, and overall stinkiness.

How do I smoke a Bedford Slims Vapourette?

It’s really simple -

  • Open the box and take out the cartridge and vapourette.
  • Take off the cartridge's rubber safety cap.
  • Gently screw the cartridge in.
  • Take a drag.

That’s pretty easy, but, how do they work?

Our Slims were designed to let you experience smoking without all the side effects. When you take a drag of a Bedford Slim you will notice that an LED lights up at the end and you will hear a distinct crackling sound. Inside each of our Vapourettes contains a battery, a microprocessor and a cartridge. These three items work in tandem to heat up the nicotine and flavours which instantaneously delivers you, the smoker, a lush plume of smoke that is odor and tar free.

Will this help me quit smoking? Are they good for me?

We will not make any cessation or health claims, but a little internet research will tell you what we would LOVE to say. Also, our blog will feature health reports as we find them.

Where can I smoke a Vapourette?

Anywhere! You do what you want.

How long will the Cartridge last?

Approximately 300 puffs or the equivalent of a little over one pack of cigarettes.

How do I recharge the Vapourette and how long will it take?

To recharge the vapourette you will need our Power Up USB rechager found in our online store. It takes 2.5 hours to fully recharge your Bedford Slims Vapourette.


How do I know when it’s done charging?

As the Vapourette is charging you will notice the LED light is on the entire time. Once the battery is charged the light turns off and you are ready to go.

What is the battery life?

Our 280 mAH battery will extend the life of your device by up to 150 recharges*. In terms of battery life, the vapourette is good for 2 hours and 40 minutes of continuous use. Depending on what kind of smoker you are this battery could last anywhere from 1-day to 1-week before recharging.

How do I know when the flavour cartridge is finished?

Towards the end of the life of the flavour cartridge you will notice a weaker pull, loss in full flavour, or you may also not be getting anything at all. These are all good indicators that the flavour cartidge has been spent and it’s time for a new one.

How many milligrams of nicotine are in your Flavours?

  0, 12, & 24mg.

I notice some e-cigarette brands use Diacetyl, an artificial popcorn flavouring unsafe when inhaled in large quantities, does yours contain Diacetyl?

We have and always will be Diacetyl-free. Why would you flavor your cigarettes with popcorn? That doesn’t sound very natural.

What are the side effects of a Bedford Slims Vapourette?

Relaxation, hostile-free environments, an overall sense of calm and well-being. All jokes aside, there are no known negative side effects for vapourettes that could cause damage on the scale that cigarettes do. Toxicity reports so far have shown that there .001% the amount of toxins in products like ours in comparison to the conventional tobacco cigarette (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/08/science/e-cigarettes-help-smokers-quit-but-they-have-some-unlikely-critics.html). Bear in mind that the vapourette does still contain nicotine which is a highly addictive, naturally occurring stimulant found in tobacco and tomato plants.

Care instructions:

 Although a durable product, remember, the Vapourette is still a battery-operated device with some pretty tiny parts working hard to keep you enjoying that nicotine experience. That said, we suggest a few things that can help you prolong the life of the battery:  

Screw in rechargers/flavour carts gently - Inside the battery is a contact point called the center post, when screwed in too tight the post deviates from its contact point rendering it useless.

Give it time to breathe - If you feel the battery getting too warm, perhaps from a long smoke break, put it down for a minute or two, let it cool down.
