Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Gamucci Safe?
Gamucci contains only water, propylene glycol, nicotine, a scent that emulates a tobacco flavour and a membrane to suspend the ingredients. Gamucci has been extensively tested and the cartridges have been toxicologically tested. None of the ingredients are considered cancer-causing agents. The product also holds CE & RoHS certifications. Compared to traditional cigarettes and cigars, Gamucci is infinitely safer.
What is the Cartridge?
The Gamucci cartridge contains the Nicotine dilution. It comes in various strengths: high, medium, low and zero. The cartridges come in a standard flavour which is tobacco, but we are also offering a range of different flavours soon to be released such as mint, cherry, apple, coffee and chocolate.
How long will a cartridge last?
One Gamucci cartridge is equivalent to 20 traditional cigarettes.
What is Nicotine?
Nicotine is an alkaloid found in certain plants, predominantly tobacco and in much lower quantities in tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant and green peppers. When absorbed in small amounts, whether from cigarettes, cigars or Gamucci, nicotine can cause stimulation, a feeling of relaxation, calmness, and alertness. The effects of nicotine can last from minutes to hours. The carcinogenic properties of nicotine in a standalone form (i.e. separated from smoking or chewing tobacco) have not been evaluated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Current available literature indicates that nicotine in standalone form does not promote the development of cancer in healthy tissue and has no mutagenic properties. Please Note: Gamucci also supplies cartridges with zero nicotine.
Do I need a lighter ?
You do not require a lighter for the Gamucci.
Can I get nicotine poisoning if I continue to smoke ?
No you will not get nicotine poisoning from using the Gamucci. Gamucci has a built in electronic security system which stops automatically if too many inhalations occur within a short time space or you take a inhalation over 8 seconds long. The nicotine levels per inhalation are considerably lower than traditional cigarettes.
What is the smoke that is released ?
The vapour like smoke that is released from the Gamucci is simply condensation that evaporates into the air within seconds, not unlike the functioning of a humidifier. Gamucci leaves no visual residue in the air, whereas traditional smoking can leave an unsightly, acrid cloud known to irritate eyes and bother people’s senses.
Does the condensation of the Gamucci smell ?
The smell that is released is only the aroma of the tobacco essence contained in the nicotine cartridge.
What about the taste ?
The taste of the Gamucci resembles that of tobacco, but feels much smoother and cleaner as there are none of the impurities associated with real tobacco. We are also launching a number of new flavours as well.
Can I use the Gamucci anywhere ?
Gamucci does not release smoke but a harmless vapour so it can be used in public areas, restaurants and offices where smoking is prohibited; however do not be surprised when people ask about you smoking Gamucci. To the casual observer, using Gamucci creates the appearance of traditional smoking. Users report that simply explaining to others how Gamucci works, usually creates acceptance for using the product anywhere.
Is using the Gamucci intended for everyone ?
Gamucci is intended for use only by adults. It is not intended to be used by pregnant women and those that are sensitive to nicotine.
What are the main reasons for people using Gamucci ?
Most people who smoke, smoke because they enjoy the tactile, emotional and physical sensations. Gamucci provides all those same pleasures, but without all the problems commonly associated with traditional smoking. The leading reasons people use Gamucci include: reduced health risk; freedom to smoke anywhere; social inclusion versus isolation; no first or second hand smoke; virtually odourless; non-flammable, convenient and lower cost than traditional smoking.
Is Gamucci cheaper than traditional smoking products? ?
