The world of vaping is exciting, but with constantly evolving technology, it can sometimes be a little confusing for new vapers. Understanding your e-cigarette is important. Your first puffs will largely influence how you think about vaping. In this beginner’s guide, you’ll find all of the information you need to have a great first experience.
What’s an e-cigarette?
An e-cigarette is a device that heats e-liquid, turning it into vapour, which delivers nicotine and flavours. E-cigarettes were designed to help smokers transition from cigarettes. Millions of people around the world say that vaping has helped them transition from smoking. According to Public Health England, e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than smoking cigarettes. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about vaping, we hope this guide will help you.
Choosing the best vape: know your needs first!
Your smoking habits will dictate what type of e-cigarette you need. If you are a heavy smoker, your vaping device will need long battery life and good nicotine delivery. Battery life is measured in mAh (milliampere-hour), usually displayed on specific models either with a number, a bar, or lights. Making sure you have sufficient battery life allows you to vape on the go wherever you are.
Many vapes mimic the feeling of smoking a cigarette with tight airflow draw and vapour heat, optimized for higher nicotine e-liquids, which are generally advised for new vapers. The amount of power used in these vapes is usually lower, offering an experience similar to smoking.
Vaping allows you to inhale nicotine by heating the e-liquid to produce vapor. This satisfies nicotine cravings, but also mimics the sensation of smoking, by providing a “throat hit” that many smokers have become accustomed to. Depending on your previous smoking habits, choosing the right nicotine strength in your e-liquid is essential to enjoy a satisfying vaping experience.
