FAQ

1- What is Metatine?

Metatine is a synthetically derived molecule that mimics nicotine (a similar structure to nicotine, but is chemically different). Users receive the same sensation as they do with nicotine, this is why Metatine should be the preferred alternative for many vapers.

2- How is Metatine different from nicotine?

When used in Five Pawns Products, Metatine offers a level of satisfaction, pleasure, and enjoyment comparable to that of traditional tobacco products and nicotine e-cigarettes. It's important to note, however, that while Metatine differs chemically from nicotine, it may still be addictive and could have a toxicity profile akin to nicotine. Therefore, it should only be used by current adult tobacco users and vapers, and never by individuals under the age of 21.

3- Is Metatine regulated by the FDA?

No, Metatine is not regulated by FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products because it does not contain nicotine and is not derived from tobacco; therefore, it does not meet the FDA’s statutory definition of tobacco product.

4- How is Metatine synthesized?

Metatine is made using a proprietary synthesis process that ensures no nicotine is present in the product. Because we are able to produce Metatine from advanced chemical synthesis techniques, the molecules are structurally similar to nicotine, but due to avoidance of some key reactions they are chemically different. This requires a process with multiple stage-wise refinements and purifications to make it free of impurities. There is rigorous quality testing at every stage of the synthesis, and final quality testing is done thoroughly to qualify Metatine.

5- Can Metatine be used by pregnant or lactating women?

No. Metatine products should not be used by pregnant or lactating women. While Metatine itself is not harmful, there may be unknown impacts of vaping Metatine on the development of a fetus. Similarly, we do not know what negative effects vaping Metatine might have on a nursing infant. Exercising an abundance of caution, we recommend that women who are or may become pregnant or are lactating minimize their use of any type of vaping or smoking products, including Metatine products.

6- How should I store e-liquids and salts containing Metatine?

Metatine in the form of e-liquids or salts must be stored in the recommended way. These products need to be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight which can lead to degradation of the product. A safe and suitable place for storing your metatine-containing product is out of reach of children and pets who might inadvertently ingest or misuse them.

7- What flavors are available for e-liquids and salts containing Metatine?

Our e-liquids and salts contain Metatine and have amusing names that reflect our innovation and unique flavors such as fruits (berries, mango, pineapple, kiwi) or desserts (banana pudding or salted caramel).

8- Can I travel with e-liquids and salts containing Metatine?

Yes, you can travel with e-liquids or salts with Metatine, but, of course, we advise you to check the local legislation and Airline rules of transport concerning the carrying and use of vapes, because there are some countries and airlines that have limitations about the transportation of vaping devices and liquids. Please make sure that your devices are packaged according to the regulation of your destination and also with airline rules.

9- Is there an age restriction for purchasing products containing Metatine?

Yes. And you have to be old enough to legally purchase a Metatine product! Whether it is 18, 21 or older depends on the laws and regulations in the country where you live. And to ensure that kids and young people have no access to these products, we might also ask to see proof of age.

10- How do I know if my e-liquid or salt needs to be replaced?

Poor taste, color change or other undesirable contaminants might be the first indication that e-liquid or the salt has reached its useful life and needs to be changed. For e-liquids, when they stop tasting as they should and develop an unusual taste, become cloudy or show particulates or discoloration, it’s time for replacement. Besides rendering the vape experience suboptimal, such old or contaminated e-liquids may pose health risks.

11- What inspired Five Pawns to start its journey in the e-liquid industry?

Five Pawns took its name from the board game of chess. When the company’s founders conceived it, they envisioned crafting e-liquid flavors like pieces on a chess board. Each element in every flavor is carefully considered, and every compound is weighed and explored for its complexity and sophistication.

12- Why is the company named Five Pawns?
