Where does the vaper who wants a quality piece without all the hype turn to for advice?
Many newbie vapers out there have questions about the best way to vape and get accustomed to the lifestyle change.
In simple words, this is all you need to know about making the big switch from tobacco cigarettes or cigars to vaping.
Follow our “Do This, Don’t Do That” breakdown that makes things super easy to vape.
DO
Understand why you are transitioning from smoking to vaping.
E-cigs contain e-liquid, which has nicotine, propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin and food grade flavoring. Non of which are carcinogenic like 60 of the 4000 chemicals added to cigarettes. Cigarettes have become increasingly toxic over the years whereas e-liuiqd is clean and simple. You will find as you go along that e-cigs will help you feel better, have better flavor, and still give you the relaxation that cigarettes give you.
DON’T
Don’t give up e-cigs just because they taste different or you don’t like the first flavor of e-liquid you try.
Remember that there are thousands of varieties of e-liquid flavors and customizable vaporizers. Make it a goal to try a variety of flavors, many of which will be a brand new experience for you.
DO
Always have a backup battery on hand.
The only potential problem with e-cigs is running out of power when you feel it the most. Buy at least two batteries – one to charge and one to use. Don’t risk being without a charged battery because this is what seems to cause the most relapses.
DON’T
Don’t keep your cigarettes around “just in case”.
The idea is to leave them behind for good and replace them with e-cigs. So if you don’t have the willpower to throw them away, store them in an inconvenient location, like the garage or in the trunk of a car. Keep your e-cigs with you and one at the office, in your car and at your favorite vaping place so it is always available. Some vapers can’t transition “cold turkey”. It’s ok, we understand, it’s a new way of life.
DO
Take care of your batteries.
You’ll devote plenty of TLC to your vaporizer tank and the e-cig cartridge but don’t forget the battery itself. Batteries should be fully charged before you begin to use it. Batteries should also be cleaned and changed about one per day if you’re a frequent vaper. To clean it, remove the tank/cartomizer look for accumulated build-up and use a cotton swab to clean the contact.
DON’T
Do not use soaps or cleaners or overfill or over tighten.
Only use a dry or alcohol dampened cotton swab to clean your tanks and battery contacts. Be careful not to overfill your tank with e-liquid. This may cause the atomizer to get saturated and make a mess on your table. Use an e-liquid with a pointed drip tip and do not let your e-liquid level go all the way down. Also do not over tighten the connections on your tank, atomizer and battery.
DO
Buy top quality stuff.
One reason why a lot of people have given up on e-cigs is because they buy crap quality merchandise and cheap e-liquid. Cheap e-liquid doesn’t taste all that great and it can be dangerous to your health. Stick to top brand companies and manufacturers that have excellent reviews.
DON’T
Do not use chargers from other companies.
Not all e-cig companies use the same chargers for charging batteries. Mixing chargers and batteries from different companies could damage your batteries or even worse cause an explosion or fire. Only use chargers included in your e-cig kit or from the same company.
DO
Take care of your e-liquid.
Be sure not to expose your bottle of e-liquid to sunlight or air. This changes the flavor of the e-liquid. Always keep the childproof cap on when not in use and keep away from children and pets. It is also a good idea to shake your bottle of e-liquid periodically so all the flavor and nicotine are balanced.
DON’T
Don’t go too long without changing the atomizer.
Dark and VG based e-liquids tend to shorten the life of atomizers. This, along with prolonged use, will cause an off taste with your e-cig. Be sure to change the atomizer or cartomizer when the flavor diminishes to ensure a satisfying vaping experience.
DO
Choose a customizable vaporizer.
If you are looking for more “throat hit”, you can choose a higher nicotine level or go with a vaporizer that includes a dual coil atomizer and adjustable voltage on the battery. This lets you customize your vaping experience. Also going with a PG based e-liquid gives you a greater “throat hit” and bttter flavor. Whereas a VG based e-liquid is for those who are sensitive to PG and tends to produce more vapor.
DON’T
Do not flaunt your new found lifestyle.
Be a respectable vaper. Unfortunately, not all people are familiar with vaping. They see vapor and think you are smoking. Be respectful just as you would if you were smoking and use it as an opportunity to educate others about vaping. Ask the bartender if it is ok to vape in their bar or ask permission first if you want to vape in friends home. We know, you want to scream to the world about your new found freedom.
DO
Remember, vaping is not he same thing as smoking.
Vaping is different than smoking. You will no longer reach for a lighter, look for an ashtray, or scurry outside for a break. You will find a new routine. You may need to try different nicotine levels and flavors to be satisfied, but a cigarette will never taste good again. Some vapers have even eliminated nicotine altogether and only choose flavored e-liquid with zero nicotine.
DON’T
Don’t decide on a fixed level of nicotine.
One of the advantages of vaping is that you can customize the vaping level according to your physical, psychological and emotional needs. Some users need 26mg/ml, while others are just fine with half that. Some can “chain vape” all day long if it’s a stressful day. Others will vape only once or twice a day, and may even find that their taste for nicotine is slowly waning.
