Firstly this is not an e-Cigarette, it does not use e-Liquid - only dry plant matter ie: Tobacco, Damaina or other legal herbs or botanicals.
It is a dry herb style vaporizer that uses conductive and convective heating methods to vaporize off plant essential oils, terpenes etc from the contents for inhalation.
It features a precise temperature control system to allow the user to dial in the sweet spot to vaporize. No smoke is created, only vapour.
You may depending on the contents in the chamber and temperature used, but the vapour produced and exhaled will not be similar to the vapour produced from an e-Cigarette, or smoke produced from combustion - very light vapour if visible at all.
Naked Vapour offers this type of device as it does fit the harm reduction model and is a "Smoking Alternative".
This type of dry herb vapourizer can be used to vapourize nicotine from tobacco and other elements from other types of dry herb matter, from Damiana to Lavender, see online guides for the best vapourization temps to suit - https://azarius.net/encyclopedia/77/Best_temperatures_for_vaporizing_herbs/
Please be sure you comply with your local laws and regulations as not all herbs listed will be legal in all countries - Naked Vapour ships internationally hence why the list below is not specific to New Zealand.
Due Dilligence - please be sure to research fully any herb you intend vapourize before actually doing so - some may have more powerful effects than other means of consumption/ingestion, for convenience a list of vapable herbs are listed below:
Herbs with low vaporizing temperatures:
Herbs with medium vaporizing temperatures:
Herbs with high vaporizing temperatures:
The temperature at which you set your vaporizer is of big influence to the effects that you can get from it. There are a huge amount of active compounds in herbs with different effects, which need different temperatures to become effective.

NB: This device my require more maintenence than an e-Cigarette - the mesh screens will eventually become clogged with plant matter and resins, oils etc - spare screens are supplied, screens can be cleaned by soaking in a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water - be sure to let completely dry before using again.
Alternatively the screens could also be "cleaned" with a very hot flame like that from a butane torch which will quickly turn the screens contents to ash that can be easily knocked off. How often you will need to clean the screen will be dependant on frequency of use and the plant matter you use. Increased airway path restriction over time is the key to understanding when you will need to clean.
Airflow adjustment: Raise or push the airflow adjuster to control the amount of air;
Buzzer adjustment: In power-off state, long press the on/off button and up button to enter adjustment interface. Press two regulatory buttons to adjust buzzer volume from 1 to 5. You can press the on/off button to confirm. You may switch the unit to silent mode by setting the volume to 1.

Shift between °C and °F: If you raise the temperature to 220°C and continue to press the up button, the temperature will turn to the lowest 158°F. Equally, the temperature will turn to 428°F if the temperature decrease below 70°C.
Countdown reset: During the 60 seconds countdown period after heating, you can press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to restart the countdown process. NB: The timer countodwn can be increased up to 300 seconds (5 minutes) with the optional firmware upgrade
