Are there any rules on vaping and driving?

图片
In most countries, there are no laws and regulations specifically talking about vaping and driving. However, even though there are no direct laws that outlaw vaping while driving, some laws may indirectly relate to the issue. For instance, there are laws describing the necessary level of visibility through your windshield: and this means that if you vape in your car, a case can be made that the clouds from your vape are affecting that said visibility. Thus, if the vapor from your vaping device obscures the windshield, blocking your view of the road, you’ll likely be breaking the law. Vaping and driving may also be related to the law about reckless driving: if you are distracted by adjusting the settings on your vape, naturally, you are not giving the road your undivided attention. You probably won’t be accused of reckless driving just for vaping and driving but if you do break end up breaking any rules, vaping may definitely be an aggravating factor. So what are the general gu

How do you feel about vaping vitamins?

图片
Most of us know to vape as a way to quit smoking, an alternative and a less health risky way of getting nicotine into our body. However, there are lots more things other than nicotine that you can vape, apparently — and we are not just talking CBD or THC. Some people are vaping vitamins. According to advocates of the trend, puffing on nicotine-free, tobacco-free vitamin cocktails, they can receive all the nutritional value of the vitamins in a new and more efficient manner. One of the biggest companies that currently sell vapable vitamins is VitaminVape. The company’s most popular product is Vitamin B12 Vapor, which is supposed to be a better and more efficient way of consuming the vitamin. According to the website, vaping B12 is "many times more efficient than pill absorption, and comparable only to injections (though injections are still the most efficient)." Theoretically, one can see how this would make sense. After all, inhaling things is quite an efficient way of gettin

Your first week of vaping is sure to be an exciting time — but it can also be quite challenging. You will need to make quite a few decisions and choices in this first week — and as you are still discovering vaping, these may be quite tricky. In this quick post, we want to give you some heads up and maybe even a few tips on what to expect in your first week of vaping. Getting the gear The first thing you will need to embark on your vaping adventure is the right gear and the right e-liquid. And choosing these may not seem easy as you are not familiar with the many types of devices and vape juices.

Common Vaping Side Effects And How To Avoid Them

图片
According to Public Health England vaping is 95% less health risk than smoking. And this makes it a very viable alternative to smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes. As smoking is a process of combustion, lighting a cigarette leads to the release of over 7,000 chemicals, some of which are known carcinogens. With vaping, you get to avoid that and you will be inhaling is heated e-liquid, which is, in most cases, Propylene Glycol, vegetable glycerine, flavorings, and nicotine. With that, vaping is not without faults. And there are a number of side effects you can experience as a vaper. In this mini-guide, we will address some of the common issues that vapers may be faced with and the ways of dealing with them. Dry mouth and skin issues One of the most frequently experienced side effects of vaping is dehydration. Vapor has the nature of attracting water molecules from its surroundings. Thus, you may notice an itchy feeling in your throat and mouth, and even feel your skin gettin

What are the actual effects of second hand vaping?

图片
Second hand vaping is often compared to second-hand smoking. What it means is basically when someone else, other than the vaper, is involuntarily inhaling the "clouds" the vaper is producing. There is a lot of confusion surrounding second hand vaping and when compared to second-hand smoking, the two are often treated as the same. In this post, we will look into the actual effects of second hand vaping. What is second-hand vapor and is it the same as second-hand smoke? Second-hand vapor is different from second-hand smoke. Smoke is a product of combustion. When you burn any substance, volatile gases, carbon monoxide and other potentially toxic substances are released into the air. Burning tobacco (which is basically what smoking is) sets free over 7,000 chemicals, hundreds of which are considered toxic and over fifty are carcinogenic. This makes smoking a dangerous habit for the smoker and second-hand smoking an unhealthy side-effect for those around. In fact, the U.S. Cent

What exactly is vaper's tongue and how to avoid it?

Vaper's tongue does not sound like something that you want to have. And it isn't. It is a condition often experienced by vapers where they will suddenly feel  reduced or completely diminished flavors while vaping. This condition affects a large number of vapers and if you've been in the cloud game for over two months, chances are that you have experienced vaper's tongue at some point. What causes the vaper's tongue? There can be several possible causes of this unfortunate condition. Dehydration is one of the most common causes of vaper's tongue. Even seasoned vapers often make the mistake of not staying hydrated enough while vaping and may get really dehydrated without even noticing it. To ward off dehydration, you can set a reminder on your watch or phone to drink water at regular intervals. Some vapers have found coconut water to be particularly helpful. Sticking to the same flavor for too long can also cause a vaper's tongue. We all have e-liquids th

Mistake #1 Starting with an advanced box mod One of the most common mistakes new vapers make is going big fast.

Vaping: What are the most popular misconceptions about vaping?

图片
When we encounter something new, we tend to be suspicious. It's a completely natural reaction: when something that was never there before appears in our life we greet it with a mix of interest and doubt.  And even though vaping has been around since the early 2000s, it still seems to be shrouded in mystery and misconceptions.  What are some of the most common misconceptions about vaping that you've come across? We've made a list of our top five.  No. one: vaping is the same as smoking  In fact, in some countries vaping is considered to be worse than smoking — at least, this is what it looks like based on their vaping regulations. For instance, in Hong Kong, you won't be able to purchase or bring in nicotine-containing e-liquids and in some countries like Thailand and Singapore vaping in public can get you a jail sentence.  With that, all the scientific evidence available to us at this point states that vaping is not at all the same as smoking. Acc

Are there any rules for vaping indoors?

图片
Even though we feel like we’ve been talking about vaping forever, it’s still relatively new — especially when it comes to the dos and don’ts. Even countries seem to be on very different pages when it comes to vaping regulations — and things get even less clear with the individual vapers. While some countries do have general guidelines when it comes to importing vaping gear and e-liquids onto their territory, there seem to be no comprehensive guidelines for establishments like bars and cafes to regulate vaping. Thus, in a lot of countries, clubs, restaurants, offices and even airports and other public spaces are given the freedom to decide their own vaping policies, with many choosing to treat e-cigarettes the same way they treat traditional tobacco products: that is, banning their use indoors entirely. With that, while we're used to seeing “no smoking” signs when we walk into hotel lobbies, restaurants or cafes very few vapers have actually encountered a “no vaping” sign.
