Frequently Asked Questions about Electronic Smoking Devices:
What are the Elite and Prestige Packs?
They are electronic, alternative smoking devices that simulate the sensation of smoking. They do not expose the user, or others close by to harmful levels of cancer causing agents and other dangerous chemicals normally associated with traditional tobacco products. The devices produce a realistic simulated smoke which is actually a vapor mist. When exhaled, the vapor harmlessly evaporates in the surrounding air within a few seconds. The basic components of our products consist of a battery, an atomizer, and a flavored cartridge that is filled with propylene glycol, varying amounts of nicotine, and a computer chip that controls it all. Both the atomizer and cartridges are considered to be consumables. Cartridges are available in varying amounts of nicotine that include high, medium, low and no nicotine at all. The Elite features a longer, more elegant design while the Prestige features a sleeker, smaller design.
How do they work?
When the user inhales at the mouthpiece, a small switch is activated and power is delivered to the atomizer. The atomizer creates a vapor derived from the moisture that is found in the cartridge. As the vapor passes through the cartridge, it picks up the nicotine and flavoring and delivers it to the user. The user absorbs the nicotine either through the mucus membranes in the mouth or through the lungs.
What, exactly, is Nicotine?
Nicotine is an addictive alkaloid that is naturally present in certain plants. A high presence is found in tobacco and a low presence is found in common vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes and green peppers. Nicotine, when delivered in small dosages such as in a cigarette or cigar can deliver a feeling of calmness or relaxation. Nicotine is considered habit forming and addictive.
What is Propylene Glycol?
Propylene glycol is a food additive found in many foods we eat today. It is used in food coloring, flavoring and also used to keep food, medicines and cosmetics moist. It is considered to be generally safe and it is the element in our product that helps to create the vapor that simulates smoke. It is also used in medical inhalants. Although the FDA considers it as "generally recognized as safe" for use in food, cosmetics and medicines, use of propylene glycol in simulated smoking devices is not currently included in the list of uses generally recognized by the FDA since this technology is so new.
How long does a cartridge last?
For the Elite, one cartridge is equal to one pack of cigarettes (approx.). For the Prestige, one cartridge is slightly less than one pack of cigarettes. Typically, a cigarette will yield about 10 to 12 mouthfuls of smoke. There are twenty cigarettes to a pack, so one might expect about 200 mouthfuls of vapor when using one Elite cartridge. For the Prestige, one might expect about 150 mouthfuls of vapor when using one Prestige cartridge.
How long will the atomizer last?
An atomizer is considered to be a semi-consumable, but will operate through the use of many cartridges before replacement becomes necessary. An atomizer needs to be replaced when vapor volume is noticeably reduced even after a fresh cartridge and fully charged battery have been installed. It is important to note that if the atomizer continues to produce a proper volume of vapor, one should continue using it until the volume is decreased to a level that is too low to deliver a satisfying volume of vapor. inLife sells the replacement cartridges in a convenient pack. Extra atomizers can be purchased when needed.
How long does a battery last?
inLife batteries are rechargeable. A new battery out of the box should be charged a minimum of 9 hours before the first use. After that, a normal charge should only require 2 - 4 hours of charge time. Every Elite and Prestige Pack come with a charger and one rechargeable battery. A battery will typically last about two days before recharging, although we recommend a daily charge, just like you would charge your cell phone. A reduced volume of vapor typically indicates that the battery needs to be charged, even though the tip of the battery will still produce a simulated burning ash (or blue light with the Prestige). It is a good idea to purchase an optional, additional rechargeable battery to keep your product working when you need it. Depending on usage, a battery should be useable for about one year before needing to be replaced.
Where may I purchase replacement batteries?
Replacement batteries and other replacement items and accessories are available through this website under "Shop Now".

Our products are intended for use by adult smokers. They will not be sold to minors as defined by each individual state. Please also review our "Product Warning!" below:

Is it less expensive to use this product than traditional cigarettes?
From the standpoint of comparing the cost of a pack of cigarettes to an inLife Elite cartridge, it really depends on how much one is paying for a pack of cigarettes. It should be noted, however, that an inLife Elite cartridge, for example, will cost the user approximately $3.21 U.S.
Can I smoke it anywhere?
Given the fact that our products do not utilize burning tobacco, are non-flammable and do not produce "smoke", they technically do not fall under the letter of the law that prevents the smoking of tobacco in certain places. Users of our products have reported that they freely use them in restaurants, bars, hospitals, nursing homes, and many other places where traditional tobacco smoking has been prohibited. Many users of the products have reported that it is not uncommon for someone to approach them when they are using the product. The typical response is either, "What on earth is that?" or, "Sorry, but you can't do that here." A simple explanation and demonstration of the product will usually turn into a friendly discussion about the product. This is an excellent way to introduce others not only to this innovative new product but also to the incredible income opportunity that exists for normal folks who wish to participate in the wonderful revenue opportunity that exists with inLife.
Does the product produce harmful second-hand smoke?
No. The odorless vapor that is released into the surrounding area will dissipate in a matter of a few seconds.
Can I use the product to stop smoking and is it FDA approved?
No! This product has not been approved as a smoking cessation device (quit smoking device) by the U.S. FDA. They have never been tested or proven to be cessation devices and we are not marketing them or selling them for that purpose. We are marketing and selling them to our customers as an alternative to smoking traditional tobacco products. They offer the freedom to be used in most places that currently prohibit the use of tobacco products. They produce no first or second hand smoke. They are virtually odor free and represent an overall lower cost to the user than traditional cigarettes. They help to restore freedom to smoke almost anywhere, anytime and do not lend themselves to creating "social isolation" as one might expect with traditional tobacco products.
Is this product approved by the FDA or any other US Regulatory Organization?
Our products do not call for the oversight of either the FDA or the Alcohol and Tobacco Trade Bureau as they do not contain tobacco. Our products, being nicotine delivery devices, do not fall under the jurisdiction of the FDA or any other U.S. regulatory organization at this time. Neither the Elite, nor the Prestige, nor any of their characteristics fit the classification of products that these organizations govern.
Is there a product guarantee offered by inLife?
Yes, with the disposable nature of the cartridges and atomizers, there is a 45 day warranty on the cartridges and the atomizer. There is a six month limited warranty on the battery and charger.
Which product would be best for a heavy smoker?
We recommend the Elite for heavy smokers. These are larger units and deliver a higher volume of smoke. The Prestige is a smaller unit and should be considered for the more casual or occassional smokers. As an ID, we suggest that you should have a supply of all models to determine which is best for you and your customers. Everyone is different and variety is the spice of life.
Is the product available for sale and for shipment in countries other than the U.S.?
Not at this time. We are currently investigating foreign expansion. However, the ID can purchase product, take possession of it here in the U.S. and ship into foreign countries. Please note, however, that the ID will be responsible to make sure that our product can be legally imported into the desired country and will also be responsible for arranging and paying for shipment. If you choose to follow this path, make sure you use the services of a professional freight forwarding service who can assist you with the proper and legal methods to follow.
How long does it take to receive my product?
It takes 24 hours for an order to hit the system. So if you order it on a Monday, expect that it will be shipped on Tuesday. Typically, ground shipment to the east coast takes 7 to 10 days. For this reason, Revelle inLife has just added a special 3-day service to the states east of Arizona at regular Ground price! This means that if you order a product on Monday, expect your product to arrive on Friday. If you order a product on Monday and select and pay for 2nd day service, expect your product to arrive on Thursday. Do not count weekends, just business days, as both UPS and FedEx do not deliver on Saturdays or Sundays.

What does it mean to be qualified as an Independent Distributor and how do I do it?
There are five possible ways to earn income as an inLife ID. Retail Sales and Momentum Builder payments require no qualification to earn income. However, The Binary Bonus, the Matching Binary bonus and Auto-ship commissions all require qualifications. To be qualified to earn Binary Bonuses and Matching Binary Bonuses, an ID must personally enroll two people who make an "optional" purchase of an inLife e-cigarette pack. These two personally enrolled individuals do not necessarily have to be in opposite legs. They can be in the same leg. To be qualified to earn Auto-ship commissions, an ID must first be qualified for Binary and Matching Binary Bonuses, and maintain a personal purchase volume of at least $24.95 a month on Auto-ship.
When do I start collecting points in the Binary Bonus program?
Points will start to collect for an ID after they are qualified for the Binary and Matching Binary bonus program only. It is important you immediately start by finding two people who you personally enroll who make an optional purchase of an inLife e-cigarette. You may be missing out on the points generated by those in your downline by waiting too long to get qualified.
What is a Binary?
The binary system applies only to the sale of the e-cigarette units. The sales of cartridges count only in the unilevel system and do not count in the binary system. In the binary system an Independent Distributor can only have a maximum of two legs moving down in their organization. As an Independent Distributor, electronic cigarette units can be sold in either your right leg or left leg. An Independent Distributor can receive a binary payout when this happens. Please refer to the Compensation Plan for details on how an Independent Distributor is paid in the binary system.
What is a Unilevel?
The unilevel system applies only to the sale of Auto-ship cartridges. The sales of e-cigarette units do not count in the unilevel system. In the unilevel system, an Independent Distributor can be paid down to the ninth level. Unlike the binary system, an Independent Distributor can have as many people as they desire on the first level.
How does RETAILING work?
Retail sales occur when an Independent Distributor introduces and sells an e-cigarette unit to an retail customer. As an example, as an Independent Distributor, your wholesale purchase price for an Elite unit is $99.95. We recommend a retail price of $129.95 each. When a retail sale is made by an Independent Distributor, the Independent Distributor makes a profit of $30.00. The easiest way to make a retail sale is to have the customer purchase the product directly from your replicated website shopping cart using the "Shop Now" button. We will charge the customer $129.95 plus tax and shipping. We send you a check for$30.00 on the very next commission payout.
Another way is for the Independent Distributor to purchase a Biz Pack (6 e-cigarette units for the price of 5). In this example, where the Biz Pack wholesale price for an Independent Distributor is $495.95, the Independent Distributor can sell the product directly to a user and reap the difference between the wholesale price and the price of the unit being sold (profit being $30 on each of the first five units and then $129.95 on the remaining sixth unit).
