OMAVAPE e–cigarette recycling is a program established in Finland to support e-cigarette waste management. This initiative is led by Philip Morris International.
After more than six years of scientific research, Philip Morris has now launched a closed system-based e‑cigarette in Finland. This launch has answered smokers’ demand for smoke-free alternatives to cigarettes. With this launch, we have provided an alternative for open tank e‑cigarette users who are looking for products that do not require liquid mixing.
Vaping or the use of e-cigarettes turns the nicotine-containing liquid into vapor when heated. Our e-cigarettes do not generate tar or carbon monoxide due the absence of combustion. No combustion means no smoke.
In closed systems, ready-to-use e-liquid pods are attached to the device. Closed systems are a suitable choice for individuals who want to avoid the need of mixing e-liquids.
Open-system e-cigarettes contain an e-liquid tank that is manually filled with an e-liquid of your choice.
With more than 530 OMAVAPE green boxes around the country, it is now easy and accessible to recycle your e-cigarette waste responsibly.
Be kind to nature and yourself.
If you have an e-cigarette manufactured by Phillip Morris, we recommend you register it on our platform so you can benefit from our full customer service support. You can learn more about your device and maintenance and get the best experience at every single use.
E-cigarettes are divided into closed and open systems. A closed e-cigarette uses ready-made e-liquid capsules that are inserted into the e-cigarette, which is then ready to use. In the open system the e-liquid is bought in separate bottles. Users have to then mix liquids and fill the e-cigarettes by themselves.
E-cigarettes are also known as e-savuke, höyrystin and höyryke in Finnish. Vaping is translated in höyryttely, vapettaminen, vapottaminen and vapottelu.
E-cigarettes use e-liquid that usually consists of nicotine, flavorings, propylene glycol and glycerin. In Finland only tobacco flavored or flavorless e-liquids are allowed. There are also liquids without nicotine available for e-cigarettes.
E-cigarettes are smoke-free products. They heat the e-liquid that turns into vapor. There is no combustion or smoke in e-cigarettes, therefore, they do not produce tar or carbon monoxide. In cigarettes, there is combustion while tobacco is burnt and the temperature reaches more than 800°C. In the combustion more than 6000 different chemical substances are formed, of which around 100 are known to be harmful to people.
Parts of an e-cigarette include a pod for e-liquid, atomizer, battery, led-light and a button. The e-cigarette is activated when a person draws a puff.
Dry puff or dry hit is the result of a low level of e-liquid and the vapor weakening. It has a burnt taste, and it also increases the number of harmful constituents. E-cigarettes with advanced technology will detect low liquid level and prevent overheating.
