Product Description back to top

Gamucci Micro Starter Kit still offers the user with the same smoking experience, however in a smaller, more subtle casing. Unlike traditional cigarettes, the Gamucci Micro is completely legal for use in public places such as pubs and night clubs.

Gamucci Micro had been the most successful e-cigarette on UK market since its launch back in early 2009. The monthly volume of searches for Gamuci Micro on Google reaches into 20,000 searches per month and it quite often happens that shops run out of stock.

Gamucci Micro Mk.1 had some problems with atomizers, because they would burn out quite quickly and v2 partially resolved that issue. Atomizers are still the problem and most of the e-cig manufacturers are now declaring them as a semi-consumable part. That means that atomizers are now expected not to last more than 3 months.

A good thing about Gamucci Micro cigarette is that it comes with a spare battery. To be exact, you get two batteries with starter kit. If you have both batteries recharged and ready, than you can be sure that you will have enough electrical charge to smoke a whole day, however heavy smoker you might be. A single battery would only be sufficient for somebody who is only a casual smoker.

Each battery, on its own, can give you about 2 to 3 hours of a continuous electronic smoking during the day. While you are using the first battery, it takes only 30-45 minutes to fully charge the second one. That way you can smoke pretty much continuously during the day. Please note, that sometimes, if you are recharging the battery via USB port on your computer, the computer can go into the sleep mode if left unattended. In that case, it could happen that your battery has not charged at all and it would provide only 15-20 minutes of smoking. For this reason, if you intend to charge batteries overnight, the best practice is to use the wall charger, whenever possible.

Gamucci Micro e-cig is non-flammable device. That means that nothing is burned and there is no tar residue to inhale. This is the single most important feature related to smoking electronic cigarettes. While it would be wrong to say that electronic cigarettes are product that helps smokers quit smoking, they certainly help you smoke in a much healthier way. Regular cigarette, now days called 'analog' around Internet, produce not less than 4,000 different cancerous substances. That danger is nearly removed with Gamuci Micro cigarette, since the only cancerous substance that you inhale is Nicotine. Unless you go for Nicotine free cartridges, e-cigarettes do contain nicotine juice. That is why electronic cigarettes are not 100% healthy, but simply put much healthier than classic tobacco cigarettes.

Most smokers identify their habit with 'Nicotine hit' and satisfaction of the nicotine craving. That is why electronic cigarette cartridges still come with Nicotine juice and indeed, some smokers are quite measure quality of cigarette by 'throat hit' they get from it. That is why Gamucci Micro offers such a wide range of cartridges. One can have either Zero Nicotine cartridge, with nothing but water vapor if he just want to do something with his hands, or he can choose the 'deadly' High Nicotine cartridge, which will give you the same 'nicotine hit' as a regular tobacco cigarette. There are flavored cartridges, as well, with taste of Apple, Mint, Cherry and Vanilla.

Many users who tried several different electronic cigarettes models, told us that Gamucci Micro feels the most like an ordinary cigarette. It seems that Gamucci Micro just has the right weight, balance and texture to bring itself closest to the good old real thing.

One thing that is usually confusing, when you take Gamucci Micro cigarette out of the box, is that although it is an electronic device, it doesn't have on/off switch. That is a secret of many electronic cigarettes, they are turned on by simply putting them into your mouth and inhaling. If battery is charged, you'll see that LED light in front lights up.

The most important part of the every electronic cigarette is the atomizer. Atomizer takes a liquid from the replaceable cartridge, heats up that liquid and turns it into a misty vapor that on the end, you inhale. Unfortunately, although Gamucci's atomizers are of the very high quality, you should be prepared to replace them every 3 months. Atomizer replacement is no exception and it is necessary, after the similar period, with all other makes of e-cigarettes. The amount of vapor that is created is regulated with micro-electronic circuit inside the cigarette. If it happens that you inhale too much too fast, cigarette's circuit is programmed to stop for 8 seconds. This happens rarely and it is meant to either prevent you from inhaling too much or to prevent accidental overuse, by for example a child who found the cigarette untended.

Electronic cigarettes, like Gamucci Micro, are relatively harmless gadgets. They contain only water, propylene glycol, nicotine and possibly some added flavor of choice. The name of propylene glycol might sound worrying, but it is the same substance that is used to make lipsticks and it is often used in production of food. Because there is only very small amount of harmful substances inside the electronic cigarette, they have nothing harmful to produce in terms of vapor. That is the main reason why they are safe to use in public places. All the nicotine is retained by the smoker's lungs, and any other person who comes in contact will only be on the receiving end of wormed up aromatic vapor. The added benefit is that place in which you smoked the electronic cigarette will not retain the tobacco odor.

I'd recommend this product to anyone who used to enjoy the simple pleasure of a pint and a cigarette in their local pub before the ban came in.
