The vaping world may seem a bit overwhelming and intimidating for those who are just starting out. However, with some tips, it is possible to learn how to vape like a pro. From selecting the right e-liquids to learning how to use e-liquids, maintaining the vape, and adding vaping into a person’s day to day life, there are a lot of things to figure out.
While looking for a starting kit for vaping is a good first step, it is not the only important thing to do. Keep reading for some helpful vaping tips for anyone who is new to vaping.
Invest in Quality E-Liquids
While saving money is great, when it comes to e-liquids do not try to be too thrifty. While cheap, Chinese-made e-liquids can be purchased online, doing so is just asking for trouble. In many cases, low-quality e-liquids include all sorts of impurities. This can make someone sick and unhealthy. A quality and premium vapor juice uses medical-grade, pure nicotine along with food-grade ingredients and has a good reputation. Do research before buying.
Taste Considerations
An important and exciting part of a good vaping experience is the flavors you choose. There are several stores that offer buyers sample packs to let someone see what flavors they prefer the most. It is possible to find an array of flavor options including candy, dessert flavors, tobacco, and more. It is also possible to mix and match flavors to create a unique combination. The possibilities when it comes to flavors are truly endless.
Understand PG and VG Ratios
When it comes to vaping, understanding PG and VG ratios is a must. E-liquids that have higher levels of VG—vegetable glycerin—create thicker smoke and smoother hits. If a lower VG juice is purchased, it creates a deeper “throat hit.” Depending on the flavor and cloud effect someone wants to achieve, it is necessary to choose a higher or a lower VG. Juice with higher VG levels are usually considered a higher quality regarding fewer allergies, minimal throat hit, being more naturally sweet, and providing bigger smoke clouds.
Maintenance for E-Liquid
There is much more than just buying the products and vaping when deciding on the right e-liquids. When starting out with e-juices, be sure to shake them vigorously. Doing this will mix up the PG and the VG and the nicotine to make sure the highest quality vape is achieved every time.
Also, be sure the e-liquids are not stored in direct sunlight, which may reduce total nicotine levels. Another thing to avoid is leaving the bottles of e-liquid open. While letting the liquid breathe for a few minutes if the flavor is too much is fine, if the bottle is left open for more than 30 minutes, it will significantly impact the juice flavor.
Keep the Juice in a Dark Room for a Richer Flavor
If someone purchases a premium e-liquid, it may seem like it is stale or subpar when it comes to flavors. Consider letting the juice sit in a dark room for a few weeks. Most people do not realize that e-juices will provide a much richer type of flavor after it has been sitting in a dark area for a while.
Warmings for Plastic Tanks
Some acidic flavors, such as cinnamon, essential oils, citrus, and menthols can crack or warp plastic tanks. Many vape starter kits will come with these plastic tanks, so beginners need to know this. If someone loves these types flavors, be sure to invest in a higher-quality container, such as glass. It is better to be safe than sorry.
Clean the E-Tank Regularly
Be sure to clean out the e-tank on a regular basis and empty it. It is a simple process and should be done one time a week. All that has to be done is to take the vape apart, remove the leftover e-liquid, and rinse the tank, atomizer, and mouthpiece under hot water. Make sure that everything is fully dry before using the device again. If this is not done regularly, a person may find they have to deal with a nasty buildup, bad tastes, and leaks.
Check the Battery Connections
Checking the battery connections regularly will help ensure the vape and battery are working properly, which can help prevent serious problems. All a person has to do is to unscrew the battery or check for any buildup of e-juice on the parts where the atomizer and battery connect to each other. Be sure to wipe off any grime or buildup when done.
Change the Coils
The coils in the device are going to have a direct impact on a person’s vaping experience. Some beginners do not realize how important this step is. When there is buildup on the coils or if the flavor is bad, it is time to change them. Once the coils have been changed, it is a good idea to prime the wicks using e-liquid to help prevent bad tastes or dry hits. The next time a person wants to vape, they should take a few quick hits without actually inhaling, which helps ensure the flavor evens out.
Keep Extra Batteries On-Hand
If the battery being used dies, and a person does not have a backup battery, they will not be able to vape. In fact, they will likely have to wait a few hours for the battery to charge back up. The best way to prevent this situation is by having extra charged batteries on hand.
When someone is new to vaping, there is a lot to figure out. While this is true, the tips and information here are designed to help with this process. Being informed and knowing what to expect are the best ways to help ensure the desired results are achieved. If someone has more questions, it is a good idea to reach out to someone who works in the vape industry. This will help ensure that the best possible experience is had by all vapers, regardless of how long they’ve been vaping.
