If you’re someone with an interest in starting to vape, while it’s easy to do, there are certainly some vaping tips for beginners that can help with the experience. If you’re coming from smoking cigarettes, vaping is similar but, in actuality, completely different. That said, it can prove to be an extremely healthy habit to maintain, especially if you’re looking to quit cigarettes and transition to healthier habits.
Here are the vaping tips for beginners to know.
Start with Disposable Vapes
A disposable vape is a non-refillable, one-use vape device. It is simple to operate, affordable, and perfect for a beginner. A disposable vape can show you whether you like vaping or not, though be sure to consider at least a few different vape flavours if you’re leaning towards ruling it out altogether.
Move to Reusable Vape Devices When You’re Ready
Reusable vape devices are where it’s at when it comes to vaping. You can select the precise vape experience you want, down to the flavour. Browse all sorts of vape juices and select the varieties that best resonate with you. All you have to do is refill your cartridge to enjoy.
Familiarize Yourself with Vape Device Parts
Look at your vaping device and investigate its various parts. Most have a battery, tank, coil, wick, and, of course, vape juice.
Select Your Vape Juice Very Carefully
With thousands of vape juices to buy online, there are many varieties in taste and overall design. Amounts of nicotine vary. There is also a difference in the ratio of propylene glycol to vegetable glycerin that can dramatically impact the hit, flavour, and amount of vapour produced.
Look at Tutorials for How to Refill Your Device
Learn how to refill your vape device, either with the instructions provided with the device or by searching for a tutorial. For some, the tank will come off the device and can be filled externally, but for others, it remains attached.
Charge Your Vape Device in a Wall Outlet
Always use the USB cable and plug you received with your vape device to charge it. In a perfect world, you never want to plug it into a computer—always the wall. This ensures the battery receives consistent power.
Never Use Cleaner on Your Vape Device
It would help if you never used anything more than warm water to clean a vape device. In some instances, a little dish soap or a mixture of water and alcohol can help to dislodge some debris that may not be removed. However, no commercial cleaning products should be used. It is dangerous.
Coughing When You Vape Is Normal
As a beginner, expect some coughing when you first vape. Vapour is thicker than smoke, and if you inhale it like you would a cigarette, it can cause mild irritation and a cough. However, this is only a temporary effect and will eventually go away.
Hydrate Before and After
Your mouth, nose, and throat may dry out when you vape. This is because the ingredients in vape juice are hygroscopic, which means they draw water away. It’s best to have a drink of water before and after vaping to combat this effect.
Vape Long, Slow, and Steady
When you vape, it’s not like taking a hard puff as one might on a cigarette. There is nothing lit and burning with a vape device. The coil needs to produce vapour, and that’s not a process you can hurry along. The optimal strategy to vape is always to take it long, slow, and steady.
Don’t Overdo the Nicotine
When you buy vape juice, ensure you aren’t buying any e-liquid with high amounts of nicotine you aren’t already accustomed to. Any vape of too much nicotine can make you very ill and will most certainly ruin your experience.
Choosing a Nicotine Strength
If you are a current or former smoker and want to satisfy nicotine cravings, here is a general guideline. Despite what’s indicated here, you may need less or more depending on the craving. It’s key to find what suits you best.
Start Slow with Your Vaping
Vaping is something you want to do only occasionally or every day. Do it a little bit, and then leave it alone. Ensure you don’t overdo it, get sick, or burn out your taste buds, which can happen. When it’s done, it’s known as a vaper’s tongue.
Be Mindful of Where You Vape
Though there may be no law against vaping indoors, it’s important to be polite. Many people are sensitive to fragrances, and vaping in a public place may not go over so well. It’s always better to vape somewhere with ventilation and to keep it outside.
