More and more people are beginning to ‘vape’ and we can even say that it is a growing trend amongst young people. Vaping is, in fact, recommended for those who want to give up smoking, since vaporizers are less harmful than cigarettes. If you want to stop smoking and start vaping, we have a few tips that should help you get started.
Choose a reputable vendor
When you are looking to buy vaping equipment or e-juice, you need to make sure that you choose a vendor that can be trusted. Low-quality products can be really dangerous for your health, so you should do your best to avoid them.
Extremely cheap products are always a red flag. You can also look for reviews from previous customers and see what their experience was. Don’t rush this process as it is quite important.
Find the best vaping device
There are multiple options when it comes to vaping devices, making it more complicated to make a choice. To begin with, you should know that there are disposable devices that you can use only till their battery dies out and there are rechargeable devices which you can use as many times as you want. Nicotine can be also used for your devices and there are even rechargeable devices that can be refilled with nicotine.
When you choose a device, you should think about your needs first. What do you want? Something discrete that can be used anywhere? A device that can help you create huge clouds of smoke? Strong flavours? There is a device for all your wants.
E-liquid ingredients
It is important to know the ingredients of e-liquids because it makes it easier to know how to deal with e-juices. Usually, the e-juice is mostly made out of vegetable glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG). There are e-liquids that contain only one of them, but most e-juices have a mix of these two ingredients.
VG has a sweet taste which might make the flavour appear weaker. However, it is also great if you want to create big vape clouds. VG is quite thick, so you should make sure that you clean your vaporizer constantly. On the other hand, PG does not have any taste so it will help you get richer flavours.
The e-liquid might also contain distilled water. This is usually used in order to reduce the nicotine levels, the flavourings or the viscosity.
Nicotine levels
You need to make sure that you choose the appropriate levels of nicotine for vaping. Those of you, who were never smokers, might want to purchase e-juice that is nicotine free. However, if you recently made the switch from cigarettes, you will need some nicotine.
A high level of nicotine is usually needed for those who used to be chain smokers, while a low level is perfect for those who smoked occasionally. However, if vaping makes you feel dizzy or nauseous and you are vaping more often than you should, this is a sign of nicotine overdose and you should stop vaping and reduce the nicotine levels right away.
Safety norms for your battery
Staying safe is essential, and vaping equipment can be quite dangerous if you do not take all the precautions. For example, you should handle your battery carefully. When you are charging your battery, you should make sure that you are somewhere close, so you can intervene if something goes wrong. Keeping an eye on will help you notice immediately if your battery gets too hot, starts sizzling, etc. If any of these things happen, you should disconnect it from the charger immediately.
The charger that you use should be an original one that was designed specifically for your type of battery. Additionally, when you are disposing of your battery, you should do it properly. Don’t throw it away. Take it to a battery recycling centre.
Disposable vs rechargeable
When you are choosing a device there are plenty of decisions to make. For example, there are disposable and rechargeable options. The disposable devices are usually the cig-a-likes, and are very similar to cigarettes. However, you might end up spending more money, because you have to throw them away once their battery runs out. Rechargeable devices are considered more convenient because you can use it for a long period of time.
Manual vs Automated
Turning on your device can be done in two different ways: you could start it just by inhaling from it, or you can do it manually by pushing a button. Making the process automated can be really convenient, especially since the device turns off automatically when you stop vaping.
Mods
Customization has become a huge thing in the vaping community and you can use all sorts of mods in order to personalize your experience. Digital mods are used to modify various settings, such as the voltage or the wattage. Nonetheless, you can’t make major changes since you will end up affecting your safety.
Mechanical mods are those that change the device directly. Nonetheless, they are only recommended for those who have some mechanical skills. You should also have enough knowledge when it comes to Ohm’s Law and batteries.
Choosing a battery
When you select a device you need to decide whether you want a removable battery or one that is built-in. Each option has its own advantages. For example, some like purchasing batteries separately, because this means that their device will never run out of power. They just need to take out the dead battery and replace it with a new one. However, built-in batteries are more convenient if you don’t want to go shopping for numerous parts. There are also devices which have a long battery life, so you don’t have to worry about it dying when you need it the most.
