After you get your first box MOD, you’re probably ecstatic about how high-tech it is, along with the new vape smell that accompanies it. All of the parts fit seamlessly together, and as soon as vaping juice primes that coil, you get a smooth, satisfying hit. Unfortunately, after two or three months of constant vaping, you’ll find that it just isn’t the same. The hits don’t produce as much vapor, the device is a little dirty, and the threaded parts are full of gunk.   If properly maintained, box MODs can last for years. But if you find yourself buying a new one every year or so (unless you just like having the latest and greatest), you can follow these tips to keep it running smoothly for the foreseeable future.  Clean It Regularly The first habit you should get into is cleaning your box MOD on a frequent basis. Before you change vape juice flavors , you should rinse out your tank with warm water. For more intense cleaning, grab a cotton swab or mic...

As vaping has become more popular and widely used over the past few years, it’s easy to forget that electronic cigarettes and other vape devices have been around, at least in concept, for decades. Through the years, vaping has seen many changes with trends coming and going—and some ideas sticking around. Let’s take a look at a few interesting points in vaping history: The First Inception of Vaping   Would you believe that the first patent for an electronic vaporizer was filed way back in 1927? Although it never was commercialized and it’s unclear if a prototype ever existed, Joseph Robinson patented the design for an invention that would vaporize compounds for medical use. Later in 1965, Herbert A. Gilbert filed a patent for a device more closely resembling the modern e-cig that we know today, although this too never took off on the commercial market.  The First Commercial Vapes Although there were other variations and patents filed over the next few ...

Are you thinking of getting into vaping? If you are, you're making the right choice. Some vapers find vaping to be an excellent way to wean them off of tobacco use and it’s also just loads of fun for non-smokers looking for good flavors to enjoy.

Whatever the case may be, understanding why and how you’ll vape should weigh into your decision. Costs Some vape devices will provide better long-term value than others. For example, if you buy disposable cig-a-like vapes at the gas sta...

Vaping can be a controversial subject for some people. While some think that it’s the greatest thing on the planet—and others credit it for saving them from smoking—other people think it’s a nuisance. There are clear-cut rules about smoking in public, but vaping can be a gray area for many spaces. As vapers, it’s in our best interest to ensure that we’re following vaping best practices when out in public to make sure we’re not annoying non-vapers and aren’t making anyone feel uncomfortable. So, whether you’re a beginner and just got your first vape starter kit , or are rocking an advanced sub-ohm mod, follow these vaping etiquette tips as to not run into any issues when you’re blowing clouds outside your home.  Ask Before Vaping Inside One aspect of vaping that appeals to many people is that you can do it inside.

In the past few years, sub-ohm vaping has gone from a niche hobby for techy-vapers who liked tinkering with mods, to a mainstream phenomenon that countless vapers swear by. Whether or not it’s for you, as is so often the case, varies from person-to-person. The best way to decide whether it will or won’t work for you is to learn more about it and give it a try. What Is Sub-Ohm Vaping and What’s the Right Equipment? Understanding the principle behind sub-ohm vaping requires an understanding of the basics of Ohm’s Law, which demonstrates that the higher the electrical voltage passing through a conductor, the lower the ohm-resistance. The atomizer coil in traditional vape devices features a resistance of between 1.5 and 3 ohms. Any tank with an atomizing coil offering a resistance of less than 1 ohm is a sub-ohm unit. Lowering the ohm-resistance of a conductor—in this case the atomizing coil—allows more current to pass through it. The more current that passes through...

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re aware that there’s a debate raging over whether or not e-cigarettes (vaping) can help people quit smoking. Studies can be found to support either side and there’s no shortage of (often passionate) opinions on the issue from the pro- and anti-vape camps. It never hurts to do research on any subject, but to some degree the debate doesn’t matter. The fact is, everyone’s different and what works for one person, may not work for another. Statistics for or against the success of quitting smoking via vaping are irrelevant if it’s a method that works for you—and countless people have successfully quit smoking by switching to vaping. However, there are definitely some steps you can take to increase the likelihood that you will be one of the people who have kicked cigarettes with vaping. Be Prepared for an Upfront Investment There are a few things you should be prepared for when making the transition from smoke to vapor. Whil...

The huge variety of vape juice flavors is one of the biggest draws of vaping. For vape newbies, however, that same wealth of options can be a bit overwhelming. The goal here is to avert that initial choice paralysis with a selection of slightly offbeat flavors—the ones that wouldn’t necessarily spring to mind as obvious favorites but that are amazing enough to have established cult followings. Everyone’s tastes are different, of course, but the following spread of vape juice flavors should have at least one selection in it to get even the most picky vaper excited. Horchata For fans of the exquisite Latin American rice milk and cinnamon beverage, no description beyond the word “horchata” will be necessary to entice. Every experienced vaper has encountered the disappointment of trying a flavor that sounds like it would be excellent and finding that it just doesn’t live up to the hype. Horchata is the opposite of that. There’s something about the flavor profile of...
