The adoption of the electronic cigarette is only possible if you're adequately equipped and choose a nicotine level that's suited to your needs. Here, we'll tell you how to choose your vaping device, as well as which models you should avoid to successfully quit smoking.
Which electronic cigarettes should you avoid when starting?
Choosing the right e-cigarette to start with means giving yourself the best chance of success, but when faced with the impressive diversity of the market, some bad habits should be avoided at all costs.
Cigalikes
Indeed, when we talk about bad habits when choosing an e-cigarette, we quickly think of cigalikes. As their name suggests, they look just like a conventional tobacco cigarette, from their size, color, and up to the red LED on their end to mimic a burning cigarette end.
These devices were very widespread in the early days of vaping.
Today, cigalikes are much less common, but it's still important to know why you should avoid them. The main reason is their lack of reliability. They clearly don't have enough battery life to withstand a whole day's use. They're generally sold with fully sealed e-liquid refills, which offer very little choice of flavors or nicotine content. They have been superseded by far more efficient and reliable products that'll be cheaper in the long run, but we'll come back to them later.
Mechanical mods
In the world of electronic cigarettes, there is a specific kind of device that's intended for the more experienced users. These modified e-cigarettes, commonly called 'mech mods', don't use any electronic components to function. Instead, they work with just a battery that sends a fixed voltage to the coil. These devices don't have any electronic safety features for the user. Thus, you need extensive vaping knowledge to use them; Ohm's law is the golden rule you have to abide by if you don't want your mech mod to explode.
Starting with the right electronic cigarette
The e-cigarette models listed above aren't particularly effective for a novice vaper.
There are products available that are entirely dedicated to this purpose. E-cigarettes are designed to meet the specific needs of each new vaper.
We select equipment from the best electronic cigarette manufacturers, so that you're guaranteed to get powerful and reliable products.
Pod electronic cigarettes
These compact kits have revolutionized the world of vaping, and they're very widespread today. Indeed, they're small enough to fit in your pocket, they're elegant, and most importantly, they're very easy to use for a beginner.
Pod mods are different from the usual electronic cigarettes because they use a removable cartridge that's either already filled or refillable. This cartridge is clipped onto a small battery that offers few settings, to make it simpler to use. There are even some models that vaporize the e-liquid automatically when you inhale through the drip tip.
Electronic cigarette pods are particularly suited to beginner vapers who want to get used to this new practice, as they're affordable and reliable without unnecessary settings but with ample battery life, all without breaking the bank.
Electronic cigarette kits
To diversify, we also offer electronic cigarette kits and complete packs.
Beginner vapers who require a higher nicotine intake and better performance can opt for a 'box mod' electronic cigarette.
These bigger devices offer more autonomy, as well as more settings, so you can customize your vaping experience down to the smallest detail.
Which electronic cigarette brands should you pick?
To ensure vaping with a quality device, you can turn to world-famous e-cigarette manufacturers. At Arômes et Liquides, our team of experts works hard to find the best products from the biggest brands like Smok, Joyetech, Innokin, Eleaf, or Aspire.

How dangerous are electronic cigarettes?
If electronic cigarettes are a great way of fighting the scourge that is tobacco and smoking, how safe are they?
The question of the electronic cigarette's potential health issues has been shaking the vaping world for many years now. Fortunately, more and more studies tend to prove that vaping is fairly safe.
Can an electronic cigarette explode?
Electronic cigarette explosions, a story the media relishes. However spectacular these accidents are, they're extremely rare, but it might be interesting to ask yourself in which scenario an electronic cigarette can explode?
When vaping, there are a few rules that you have to abide by, whether you use a device with removable batteries or a built-in battery.
Degassing a battery can be dangerous; that's why it's important to always carry it in an appropriate case. The same goes for mechanical mods, which cannot be used safely if you don't fully understand Ohm's law and how a battery works, as they aren't equipped with any electronic safeties.
If you follow these simple rules, you and your surroundings are safe from any vaping mishap!
