iQ One: free base or nic salts? Your choice.

图片
The iQ ONE is artfully balanced between powerful and compact — and it gives you options. For one, you can vape bot nic salts and free base e-liquids on the same kit. The iQ ONE comes with two interchangeable coils: 0.6 ohm and 0.8 ohm. This is done to further perfect your experience with both nic salts and free base e-liquids: if you enjoy vaping free base, go with the 0.6ohm coil; if you prefer nic salts, use the 0.8ohm coil. Nic salts are generally praised for their ability to deliver more nicotine without the harsh throat hit and, thanks to that, are also more economical (as you tend to vape less with higher nic concentrations). Free base vape juices, on the other hand, especially the ones high in VG, would do better when it comes to cloud production. Despite its small size, the ONE is quite capable of cloud making thanks to its innovative iQ chipset. Another fun thing to play with here is adjustable wattage. You will have a choice of three power settings on the kit, which w

A Mini Guide to Voltage, Wattage and Ohms for New Vapers

图片
Even if you are very new to vaping, you've probably heard of terms like the voltage, wattage, ohms, and others. While you won't need extensive knowledge of this terminology to get started in vaping, it will definitely come in handy as you choose your vaping kit, pick your vaping style, chat with other vapers and so on. In this mini-guide, we will give you a brief intro to what voltage, wattage, ohms, and mAh are. What are ohms? An ohm is a unit that is used to measure resistance. The simple rule is this: the lower the resistance on your vape kit is, the more electricity will be allowed to go through it. Vice versa, if you increase the amount of resistance, less electricity will flow through your device. What happens when you use an atomizer with lower resistance? Your coil will generate more heat There will be more vapor The flavor of your e-liquid will be more intense There are some drawbacks to consider as well: Your battery will run out more quickly E-liquid will

How to get more nicotine from your vape?

While vaping is probably the best anti-smoking aid for replicating the cigarette experience, the two processes are still inherently different. However, when you smoke a cigarette, nicotine is absorbed in the lungs. But, according to the research by the Royal College of Physicians, when you vape, the nicotine is absorbed in your throat and airway. It also appears to be absorbed more slowly, which may be one of the reasons why vaping is less addictive than traditional cigarettes. This could also be one of the reasons why some vapers (typically, ex heavy smokers) require higher strength nicotine e-liquids. While nic salt e-liquids can go as high up in nicotine concentrations as 50mg/ml, a lot of countries set limits on how much nicotine a vape juice can contain. For instance, in the UK, you won't be able to purchase e-liquids with concentrations of over 20mg/ml. But there is more than one way to get more nicotine out of your vape juice. How to tweak your vape for more nicotine?

7 Vaping Slang Terms (that we had no idea about)

According to Urban Dictionary, this is some of the latest and frequently used vaping slang. Honestly, we were not familiar with most of these — but we could be running behind on the lingo. Is there any vape slang you use often? How about any of these? Vaples — the term describes a group of people that get together to talk about vaping.  Tootle puffer — an affectionate term for vapers who use lower watt devices. Cold boxing — the act of closing all the doors and windows in a room where you vape Vaperversary — a date and festive occasion that commemorates the day on which one has switched from smoking to vaping. Vapist — someone who talks about vaping all the time and forces others into a conversation about it.  Shinyitis — a compulsion to buy new gadgets that you don’t necessarily need. It is rumored that the term originated on vaping forums and was used to talk about vapers obsessed with buying new kits.  Vaporhood — a group of colleagues at work who often socializ

A Vaper's Guide for the Perfect Throat Hit

There are lots of things that make vaping a satisfying experience. And the right throat is one of them. In this guide, we will look into the main factors that affect your throat hit when vaping and how to get what you are looking for. What Is A Throat Hit? In vaping, a throat hit is a feeling that you get from an e-cigarette on the back of your throat as you inhale. A strong throat hit is quite similar to what smokers experience from a traditional cigarette and may make you cough if you’ve never smoked/vaped before. A weak throat hit, on the other hand, describes the feeling you get when the vapor goes down smoothly and is not causing much of a sensation on the back of your throat as you inhale. How To Customize A Throat Hit When Vaping? Getting the right throat hit from your vape is essential for a satisfying experience. But preferences differ and while some vapers like a stronger throat hit, others do what they can to avoid it. Here are a few things you can do to customize

Are there any alternatives to vaping?

Vaping is now recognized as an efficient anti-smoking aid. According to the recent data in the UK, it has between 50,000 to 70,000 smokers quit cigarettes in 2017 alone. Public Health England also stands by the research results that state that vaping is 95% less harmful to one’s health than smoking. However, we acknowledge that vaping may not be for everyone. And for those who have not taken a liking to flavorful clouds, there are other aids in quitting the habit. Tobacco heating devices IQOS is probably the most popular tobacco heating system. Heat-not-burn products are different from e-cigarettes because they still use actual tobacco and not flavored e-liquid that is used in e-cigarettes and, in most countries, they are still regulated in the same way as traditional cigarettes. According to the manufacturers, heating and not burning tobacco makes the process safer and significantly reduces the associated health risks. CBD Oils CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the chemi

How to tell authentic e-liquids from counterfeit ones?

The recent outbreak of lung disease tied to black market THC containing e-liquids in the US has certainly sparked a debate about regulations on the e-cig market. And on a more personal level, it has made quite a few of us wonder about the quality of the e-liquids we purchase. There are many dangers that could come from purchasing counterfeit e-liquids — and they may go well beyond leaving one with a bad taste or gunking up vape gear. While most e-liquids are made using the same base ingredients, the differences lie in how these ingredients are sourced, how and where the e-liquid is manufactured and how it is stored. The conditions in which e-liquids are produced, how they are blended, bottled and tested after production are especially important. In some countries, manufacturers who produce e-liquid must undergo special tests, the results of which are then submitted to the responsible authorities (in the UK, for instance, this authority is Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Ag

How to tell quality vape juice from bad quality vape juice?

These days, you are definitely not strapped for choice when it comes to e-liquids. We have all sorts of flavors and nicotine strengths to choose from — plus, you can also vape zero Nic salts. And, just like any other products available in abundance, e-liquids have many different tiers of quality. So do you tell quality vape juice from inferior products? While prices are definitely an indicator, there are other telltale signs as well. First signs: strange smell, weird look and damage to your vape kit Low-quality e-liquid tends to not smell so good. If you are used to premium vape juices, you will immediately smell the difference once you’ve loaded the e-juice into your vape kit. Thus, the first sign that your e-liquid may be of low quality is a strange smell — and if you feel like your menthol vape juice does not smell quite right, chances are it may be of questionable quality. This may be a no-brainer but it’s worth mentioning. Quality e-juice should look good: it should not

What is third-hand smoking? And is there such a thing as third-hand vapor?

图片
We’ve all heard about second-hand smoke and its dangers. And we’ve all heard about second-hand vaping and how it compares (favorably) to second-hand smoking. But then there is third-hand smoke. Third-hand smoke is basically residual nicotine and other substances that are left on surfaces or objects located in areas that have been smoked in. These can include clothing, furniture, walls, curtains, bedding, vehicles, etc. And, according to research by the National Centre for Health Research, third-hand smoke can be hazardous to people’s health. It is thought that this residue reacts with indoor pollutants and creates a toxic mix that could also contain carcinogens. In some cases, third-hand smoke can remain on surfaces and objects for months after someone has smoked a cigarette near it. The residue can potentially cause coughing, asthma and respiratory tract infections — and exposure mainly happens by skin contact. Children are generally more at risk when it comes to third-hand smoke

Vaping Guide: How To Master The Right Inhale?

So, you are ready to make the switch from smoking to vaping. What do you do? After a bit of online research, you will probably head right down to your local vape shop and ask for a vaping kit. The next thing you hear maybe this: “Are you looking for a mouth-to-lung vape or a direct-to-lung vape?” If you are not sure how to answer this question, then this guide is for you. Is Inhaling When Vaping Different Than Inhaling When Smoking? While vaping is modeled after smoking, there are notable differences between how you would inhale when smoking and how most vapers inhale when they vape. The way one inhales when vaping depends on the type of tank you’re using as well as what you want to get out of the experience. Inhale Length One of the biggest differences between inhaling when smoking and vaping is the length of the inhale. Generally, vapers take longer inhales than smokers. And this can be easily explained: With cigarettes, the harder you puff, the more smoke you get;
