Choosing the right electronic cigarette
Follow all our expert advice on how to choose your first electronic cigarette to start vaping in the best conditions!
What kind of smoker are you?
To give you the best advice when purchasing your first e-cigarette, it’s essential to understand which category of smoker you belong to.
The purpose here is not to label you, but rather to identify and understand your smoking habits so we can offer tailored advice.
Thus, we distinguish three main categories of smokers, based on their tobacco consumption:
- The occasional smoker who smokes fewer than 10 cigarettes a day
- The regular smoker who smokes more than 10 cigarettes a day
- The heavy smoker who smokes more than a pack of cigarettes a day
This classification allows us to divide the equipment into categories, ranging from the most basic models to more advanced vapes (including high-capacity batteries measured in mAh), ensuring a positive vaping experience for every user.
The occasional smoker
If you smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes a day on average, enjoy a quick cigarette break now and then, or have a few cigarettes when socializing with friends, but want to quit, then this section is for you.
In fact, if this sounds like you, you should know that some e-cigarettes are designed specifically for you!
The AIO (All-in-One) format is the perfect choice. This practical model combines a battery, a tank, and a coil into a single device. All you need to do is fill the tank with the e-liquid of your choice to start vaping. It’s a simple and effective way to replace those few cigarettes with vaping without spending too much money.
For around 20 euros, you can find the perfect fit among many tube-shaped kits, rechargeable puffs, or podmod formats.
For many years, numerous manufacturers have established themselves as leaders in all-in-one e-cigarettes for beginners. Brands like Innokin, Joyetech, Voopoo, Aspire, and Eleaf (to name a few) offer products that are very easy to use and highly effective.
The regular smoker
If you’re a heavy smoker, smoking more than 10 cigarettes a day and struggling to quit for good, know that we’ve got vaping devices for you, too!
While AIO e-cigarettes with the right nicotine level may be sufficient, sometimes you need a little more power to feel satisfied.
That’s why we also offer vapes that combine a battery and a clearomizer, providing you with a bit more power and battery life than typical podmods.
Again, there’s nothing too complicated about using them. You screw the clearomizer onto the battery, fill the tank with e-liquid, and with a simple press of the battery’s firing button, you can start vaping by placing your lips on the drip tip! Easy, isn’t it?
This category also offers the widest selection of products, since there’s a variety of models to suit everyone’s preferences, so there’s no reason not to give it a try! Brands like Geekvape, Voopoo, and Vaporesso are continuously innovating in the vaping industry.
To make things easier for you, here’s a small selection of e-cigarettes designed for regular smokers:
M100 Aegis Mini Zenith 2 Beginner Pack
iStick T80 Zenith 2 Beginner Pack
The heavy smoker
If you smoke more than a pack of cigarettes a day, and you’ve been addicted to tobacco for years, we have solutions for you, too. High-performance devices with various settings to suit your needs, allowing you to tailor your vape to your nicotine requirements.
In your case, it’s often necessary to use devices that provide more power and longer battery life than the small e-cigarettes designed for occasional smokers, so you can enjoy your vape satisfactorily throughout the day.
You can find e-cigarettes that use a mod-style battery, a system that provides extended battery life through rechargeable batteries, and various settings to easily customize your vape to your needs. In addition, you’ll usually find a clearomizer with a generous e-liquid capacity and coils designed for you. It's important to note that you don't need to jump directly into using atomizers and rebuildables right away; that might come later.
So, no matter what your vaping style is, you’ll easily find the vaping device that suits your needs at the Arômes et Liquides store. You’ll find all the details of our equipment selection at A&L, featuring industry classics like Geekvape, Vaporesso, and Voopoo.
The podmod revolution
For some time now, the rapid rise of podmod e-cigarettes has revolutionized the vaping world. While superficially reminiscent of the “cigarette-style” models long abandoned by the vast majority of vapers due to their unreliability, it marks the spectacular return of mini e-cigarettes.
The podmod e-cigarette is a great option for beginner vapers, as it combines compactness with performance thanks to a small battery, the mod, and a refillable cartridge for nicotine e-liquid known as a pod, offering intuitive vaping equipment that’s easy to use in everyday life!
Complete kits to get started quickly
Choosing a vape when you decide to quit smoking can quickly seem overwhelming when faced with the incredible variety on the market. That’s why top brands offer e-cigarette kits to make your life easier. This complete system combines a built-in battery or rechargeable batteries with a compatible atomizer, so you can vape effectively right away.
On the Arômes et Liquides website, you can easily find the complete kit that meets your needs. We are committed to providing you with the best in vaping products at the most competitive prices!
Which e-cigarette produces a lot of vapor?
You already vape, but you want to find an e-cigarette that produces a lot of vapor.
When you want to produce a lot of vapor with an e-cigarette, there are two factors to consider:
- Use the right equipment with enough power, usually a mod with one or two batteries, and compatible coils
- Choose an e-liquid with a high content of vegetable glycerin
It is the combination of these two factors that will enable you to produce impressive clouds of vapor with your vape, regardless of your e-liquid’s flavors.
In our store, you’ll find devices designed for direct-to-lung (DL) or indirect mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping. MTL vaping replicates the sensation of a traditional cigarette, with a more pronounced throat hit. Direct-to-lung vaping and 100% VG e-liquid let you fully indulge in the joys of “Power Vaping.”
Which clearomizer is right for your e-cigarette?
If you prefer to buy your e-cigarette piece by piece, that’s also an option. The Arômes et Liquides store is full of batteries and clearomizers with excellent airflow, allowing you to create the setup, the vape device, that perfectly suits your needs.
It’s essential to fully understand how to choose your clearomizer for your e-cigarette so you’ll be satisfied with your vaping experience. There are several factors to consider when finding the tank that suits you and is compatible with your mod. Whether you prefer direct-to-lung or mouth-to-lung vaping, we’re sure to have the clearomizer for you! And maybe, over time, you’ll switch to a rebuildable atomizer so you can make your own coils!
Which e-liquid should you use for your e-cigarette?
While the type of e-cigarette you use is crucial, it's equally essential to pay attention to the e-liquid you choose to fill it with.
In fact, whether it’s the flavors, the ratio of propylene glycol to vegetable glycerin, or the nicotine level, there are various factors to consider if you want a satisfying vaping experience. Finding the nicotine level that suits you and the flavor you’ll enjoy vaping throughout the day are just as important as the e-cigarette itself for successfully quitting smoking with the help of nicotine.

Every e-cig available on A&L is selected to suit a specific vaper profile or dedicated use. For a beginner who still smokes regularly, a compact vape with a built-in battery and a coil resistance greater than 1 ohm remains the best solution. User reviews, available flavors, and technical specifications such as MTL draw, battery capacity (mAh), or coil type are essential criteria for making the right choice. Brands like Innokin, Voopoo, Aspire, and Geekvape offer models designed for new vapers, with kits ready to use right out of the box.
A vape’s power, measured in watts, is a key factor for a smooth start. To vape under the best conditions, it’s recommended to begin with a low-power device so you can gradually find the setting that suits your inhalation style. Some vapes also feature automatic power adjustment based on the coil type used, simplifying the experience for those who want to start without technical setup.
