Want to start vaping, but can't quite take the first step? Don't worry, we will tell you everything you need to know to be well-prepared and avoid any unpleasant surprises. Our tips will help you vape effectively and overcome the challenges that may come your way!
The decision to start vaping is often the result of something clicking during a particular life event, such as the birth of a child, for example.
This wake-up call is key as it gives you that bit of motivation to change your habits, and sparks a desire to learn more about vaping.
Are you seeking motivation to get started with electronic cigarettes? Want to learn more about vaping in general? That's what we're going to explore here!
This product, also called an e-cigarette or simply ‘vape’, works in a very simple way. It’s composed of a battery that’s connected to a tank, itself holding an e-liquid and a coil.
The battery heats the coil, which turns the e-liquid into vapor. This vapor then travels up the tank’s chimney and is inhaled through a mouthpiece (drip tip) by the vaper.
There are many different models on the market, but they all work with the same basic principle.
Moreover, unlike traditional cigarettes that combust, there is no combustion at all with electronic cigarettes.
As you can imagine, you’ll need an e-cigarette kit to start vaping. Luckily, you're entering the vaping world at a great time, as there are numerous reliable and effective devices available. Gone are the days of primitive and unreliable ecigs!
It is important to know your needs when choosing your first electronic cigarette. We’ve distinguished three types of smoking profiles to help you choose your equipment:
The occasional smoker, who smokes fewer than 10 cigarettes a day
The regular smoker, who smokes between 10 and 20 cigarettes a day
The hardcore smoker, who smokes more than 20 cigarettes a day
Based on these profiles, it is easier to identify the most suitable device to help you successfully quit smoking. Indeed, some vapers will need more power, a bigger tank, or specific features for their particular needs.
The e-liquid is an inseparable part of any electronic cigarette. It enables your device to produce vapor, but also provides nicotine.
An e-liquid is made from propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), food flavorings, and, if needed, nicotine.
E-liquids also contain nicotine needed to quit smoking. When choosing an e-liquid, you can select different nicotine levels, from 0mg/ml to 20mg/ml. You only need to choose the one that suits your needs. Then, you can gradually lower, at your own pace, down to 0 if you wish.
How to choose your nicotine level:
If you smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes a day:
between 3 and 6mg/ml
If you smoke between 10 and 20 cigarettes a day:
12mg/ml
If you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day:
18mg/ml
Therefore, it’s important to pick the right e-liquid when you start using an electronic cigarette.
A&L is THE French specialist in e-liquids for electronic cigarettes, and you will find thousands of flavors in our catalogue, with a selection of the top vaping brands such as A&L, Alfaliquid, VDLV, or T-Juice!
