Vaping 101: Common mistakes vapers make and how to avoid them
Published: 2017-07-27
Here are some common mistakes for rookie vapers. Even though vaping is healthier than tobacco, you have to learn to use the vaporizers properly before making a final decision over whether or not you rather switch to vaping. The first puff is a good test – if you are puffing it out like a smoker, you will most likely end up coughing are not enjoying vaping at all. Going for the cheapest device instead of one of higher quality is one of the biggest, because a bad vaporizer can ruin your vaping experience and encourage you to go back to cigarettes. Likewise, not knowing how to control the coolness, not maintaining your coil properly or using too little nicotine can really mess up your entire vaporizer and cause you to dislike vaping for reasons of inexperience. Finally, forget to always turn off your vaporizer and do not leave it on while it is in your pocket, draining all your battery and slowly damaging the vaporizer.

Vaping ads flout EU rules, even if to promote healthier lifestyles
Published: 2017-08-16
In the UK, advertisements implying smokers should switch to vaping are being criticized as illegal according to EU’s Tobacco and Related Products Regulations of 2016. The ad in question did not feature the brand of the vaping product, but it could still be considered as an appeal to vaping. Even though vaping products are usually considered to be less harmful than cigarettes, the fear that ads promoting vaping might draw non-smokers to the practice has lead to an intense monitoring of vaping products just like they were cigarettes. However, it is confusing how the UK can promote its Five Year Tobacco Control Plan by “maximising the availability of healthier alternatives to smoking” if vaping companies are unable to advertise their products.

10 Facts That Everyone Gets Wrong About Vaping
Published: 2014-11-19
In order for you to understand what vaping is all about, let’s first knock down some myths: first, vaping devices are not really “e-cigarettes”, if what you are thinking is an electronic device in the shape of a cigarette commonly sold in gas station. They are Advanced Personal Vaporizers, also called Vape Pens – usually disposable and made in China – and Vape Mods, usually made by Western companies and that can last longer, but can also be quite expensive. Secondly, many Vapors use very little nicotine, especially compared to cigarettes. The e-liquids with 6mg vastly outnumber the sales of those with 12mg and above. Usually, people start with a high level and then gradually switch to zero. Thirdly, no matter the intense lobbying from the tobacco industry, vaping really is less harmful to your health according to most studies, with less toxic chemicals being involved. Fourthly, e-liquids are not the devil. If you want to know the three substances that make an e-liquid, here they are: vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol (not to be confused with its harmful cousin diethylene glycol) and pharmaceutical-grade nicotine, which – as we have seen above – can actually not be mixed at all or very little.
