A simple, clear beginners guide to buying your first e-cigarette or vape kit
Getting Started With E-Cigarettes
Making the Switch…
So, you want to make the switch from smoking to vaping? That’s great news! If you’re completely new to vaping this guide will walk you through three simple steps to buying your first e-cigarette or vape kit.
Along the way you’ll learn about the different styles of vaping, the various types of e-cigarette devices, and what you’ll need for your first kit.
First, here’s a little bit of background before we get started.
How do E-Cigarettes Work?
There are many different devices available, but most e-cigarettes consist of essentially the same parts:
A battery contained in an outer casing
An atomizer
A refill cartridge or tank with mouthpiece
The battery can either be activated by a button or automatically when you inhale through the mouthpiece. Activating the battery will in turn, activate the atomizer.
The atomizer contains a heating coil and a wicking material, usually cotton, which is soaked in e-liquid. The coil rapidly heats the e-liquid in the cotton and turns it into vapour. This vapour can then be inhaled via the mouthpiece.
Why Switch to Vaping?
Here’s three great reasons to consider switching from smoking to vaping:
Vaping is Less Harmful Than Smoking
Public Health England declare vaping to be 95% less harmful than smoking. In 2017, vaping helped over 50,000 smokers quit cigarettes and between April 2019 and March 2020, quit smoking rates for those using a vaping product were higher than any other method.
Vaping Doesn’t Make You Smell
Granted, the odd person doesn’t like the smell of strawberries or candy floss wafting across a beer garden. However, it’s far more pleasant than the noxious smell of cigarette smoke. Additionally, vapour dissipates much faster than smoke and the smell won’t stick to your clothes or hair.
Vaping is Cheaper Than Smoking
Vaping is considerably cheaper than smoking, especially considering the increasing cost of cigarettes and tobacco. It can be difficult to compare the cost of cigarettes versus e-cigarettes as we often have different behaviours with vaping and a large variety of devices.
