Common Newbie Vaping Mistakes to Avoid

Image
Nobody wants to be a “newbie.” And like anything else, getting into vaping without doing any research on e cig juice or devices, or otherwise educating yourself about the basics, increases the chances that you’re going to make newbie mistakes. To be clear, everyone makes mistakes, it’s part of the learning process. But newbie mistakes are the avoidable ones that even beginners should be able to avoid. These mistakes can result in both personal discomfort and more public embarrassment. While the following isn’t a comprehensive list of every newbie vaper mistake to avoid, at the very least, it’s a good start. Buying Low-Quality Vaping Hardware No one likes to spend more money than they have to, and many a beginner vaper decided they were going to get the least expensive model of vaping hardware available because of the thought: “What’s the difference?” Much of the time it’s new vapers buying a cheap mod or whatever device to “save” 10 or 20 bucks. But in doing this,...

Proper Etiquette for Gifting Vaping Products to a Smoker

Image
When people enjoy something or are convinced that it’s beneficial, they have a natural tendency to want to share that thing with the people they care about. It’s a nice impulse, one that comes from a good place. However, sometimes even the most well-meaning gestures can backfire if they’re misunderstood or considered judgmental or pushy. It doesn’t seem like gift-giving should be complicated or could be offensive, but it can be. (If you have any doubt about that, consider the reaction you’d get if you gifted someone just a stick of deodorant.) Giving a gift that could come off as offensive is a concern that has come up among vapers. Countless people have quit smoking by switching over to vaping and now swear by it. As such, many e cigarette users are enthusiastic about sharing the many vape juice flavors on the market. They’re also excited to share the return of their ability to smell and taste better as well as the experience of smoke-smell-free clothes, car, hair, ...

Benefits of Vaping Over Smoking (That Have Nothing to Do with Health)

Image
According to the research so far, there seems to be a pretty clear consensus about whether smoking or vaping is safer. However, a great deal of information has been published on that topic already, and it’s easy enough to look up. As such, this article isn’t going to get into that. The focus here is on the benefits of vaping over smoking unrelated to their comparative health effects. Despite the great variety of vape juice flavors and its other benefits, vaping isn’t necessarily for everyone. But if you are considering switching to e cigarettes, the following is worth considering: You Don’t Smell One of the least popular things about smoking, according to both smokers and those who live or spend considerable time with them, is the smell. The odor of stale cigarette smoke clinging to a smoker’s hair, clothes, remaining on their breath, in their car, and in their home, is not a pleasant one. And it can remain long after the cigarettes responsible for it have been s...

The Benefits of Getting Your Vape Juice and Hardware Online

Image
There’s nothing like the friendliness and community offered by a well-stocked neighborhood store. That’s certainly the case with local vape hardware and vape juice vendors. The problem is that not every neighborhood shop is like that, which can also be the case with vape gear and e juice vendors—whether they just don’t have the selection you want or there just isn’t one around. In this situation, where should you turn? As is so often the answer in this information age, a good resource is the internet. Whatever its other benefits or drawbacks, the internet is an incredible resource for communities with niche interests. And as popular and widespread as vaping has become, it remains a surprisingly tight-knit niche community. That’s why your next neighborhood store with a supportive and engaged community, friendly service, convenience, stellar prices, and a fantastic selection of devices and vape juice flavors should be online. Unbeatable Selection Though it’s meant...

Best Practices to Ensure the Safety of Your Vape Hardware

Image
Because burns and other injuries caused by malfunctioning vape devices are so incredibly rare, when they do occur the novelty and rarity of the event lends itself to widespread news coverage. Unfortunately, that dynamic of coverage that’s wildly disproportionate to risk has led to the misunderstanding among a certain portion of the population that every other mod and vape pen can explode. Of course, the reality is that the chance any particular vaper will be harmed in any way by their vaping hardware is incredibly small. That being said, as is the case with any other device on the planet that features a battery powering internal components, the chance of malfunctions does exist, rare as they may be. Thankfully, with a little bit of caution, information, basic maintenance, and common sense, anyone who vapes can reduce the already miniscule risk to virtual nonexistence. So keep your favorite device and tastiest e juice flavors handy and enjoy your vaping safely with t...

Flavor-Chasing for the Win: How to Make Every Vape Hit Delicious

Image
People vape for a whole lot of reasons. One of the most attractive and compelling of those reasons, however, is flavor. In addition to variable nicotine content, vapers can find a wide variety of vape juice flavors. Whether you like sweet or savory flavors—or the taste of tobacco and coffee—if something stimulates your taste buds, chances are some vape chemist has turned it into a vape juice . As flavor is such a central feature of the vaping experience, anything that diminishes that experience is bound to disappoint. And not only is reduced flavor frustrating for vapers, it can also turn off those just getting into it. Even worse than a taste-blunted hit is one that tastes foul. But whether you’re an experienced vaper, or a newbie who just bought your first vape starter kit and some appealing vape juices, there’s no downside to ensuring that every hit is as tasty as possible. Here are some tips: Letting Vape Juice Steep There’s a good chance that—unless you’re b...

What to Do When Your Vape Tastes Wrong

Image
There are a lot of reasons that vapers report choosing to use e-cigarettes. Among the most common motives cited is the quality, variety, combination, vibrancy, and uniqueness of the available e cig flavors. In fact, beyond the apparent benefits compared to other nicotine delivery systems, the diversity of vape juice flavors is almost certainly the chief draw of e-cigarette use. That’s exactly why it’s so frustrating, disappointing, and sometimes, frankly, gross when those flavors are ruined, distorted, or far less distinct than they should be. Unfortunately, vape juice hits gone wrong isn’t all that uncommon, and there are a number of causes for the phenomenon. Fortunately, those same causes being relatively common makes them both easy to identify, and easy to sort out. Burnt Taste “Burnt” hits are possibly the flavor-destroyer most often encountered by vapers. Inexperienced e-cig users can be particularly vulnerable to burnt hits, as they’re regularly caused by ov...
