How Do You Vape?

Many people who have made the switch from cigarettes to vape products will testify that vaping and smoking are not the same. Smokers suck the smoke from a cigarette with their mouths before inhaling it deep into their lungs, but the intensity of the first pull of the cigarette can vary from one user to another.

This is called self-tritiation, where the smoker’s brain knows the dose of nicotine it needs and activates behavioural mechanisms adapted to the situation to achieve satisfaction.

However, while the same principle applies to e-cigarettes, the nicotine in the products will not reach the brain as quickly, meaning that smokers who switch to vape need to adapt their behaviour to get the necessary ‘hit’ of nicotine.

Vape more slowly and more often

To vape correctly, you should first ensure that your e-cigarette has the right amount of e-liquid, or you could risk a very unpleasant dry hit, which can also cause the abnormal production of acrolein or formaldehyde.

However, the human body recognises these substances quickly, as the vapour will have a very harsh, dry, and pungent mouth feel.

Next, you should pay attention to the settings on your vaping device, if it offers them. Take care not to overheat the resistance coil unnecessarily, or you could produce abnormally high harmful substances in the vapour.

Carefully read the user guide for your vaping device to find the best way to use it.

Take your time

Quitting smoking is a challenge, even with all the help you can get and tools such as e-cigarettes. If vaping isn’t working, then try something else, and talk to a smoking cessation professional to help you kick the habit for good.
