What To Know Before First Vape

Some people get into vaping by seeing their friends puffing away, while others want a route out of their cigarette habit. If you are keen on trying e-cigarettes, here are some things you should know to vape with the best of them.

Battery maintenance

E-cigarettes operate by a battery that is located in the outer case. You can tell if there is enough charge left through the LED indicator, with the light turning on when it is being used and there is enough battery left. Some batteries are activated by pressing a button, while others simply turn on by inhaling into the apparatus. Make sure you keep your battery charged or replace them regularly, so you aren’t caught short by a vape that has run out of charge.

Should you choose cartridge or tank e-cigarettes?

One of the first things to decide when choosing your new e-cigarette is its product design, whether it stores its liquid in its own tank or in the cartridge.

This depends on if you want to change the cartridges whenever you fancy a new flavour or don’t want the hassle of cleaning and maintaining the tank. Alternatively, if you want to save some cash, it is cheaper to buy larger bottles of vape liquid and refill the tank when it runs out.

How to smoke

This may sound strange, but there are two main ways to smoke an e-cigarette. You could inhale the vapour into the mouth first before slowly swallowing it into your lungs. This is pretty much like smoking, which is why ex-smokers usually start out using this style.

However, you could try the ‘suh-ohm’ method, which is inhaling the vapour straight into the lungs. This is usually done by more experienced vapours, as it needs a vape pen with a higher power and stronger heating coils.
