Maybe a few weeks down the road you’ll be fully fluent in vape lingo, and chatting in ohms, volts, vapes, and mAh’s, but until then here’s a vape FAQ dedicated to the everyday stuff of vaping, particularly for those looking for a direct answer in simple terms. We get it!

What is a vaporizer?

It’s a device designed for e-smoking, like a basic e-cig, but more advanced. Advanced Personal Vaporizers run on batteries, use liquid nicotine, and offer nicotine if you choose. Just like e-cigs, there is no smoke, tar, or odor.

Is it really cheaper to vape than smoke?

While the upfront starter costs to use an e-cigarette or advanced vaporizer are higher than a single pack of cigarettes, the long term cost is significantly less. Here is a look at how you can save even more money when vaping.

Does using a vaporizer/ e-cig feel just like traditional cigarettes?

It’s a similar process and concept, however the actual motion of using a vaporizer is very different from dragging on a cigarette. You will inhale and puff, intake the vapor and nicotine, and exhale, but there is a difference in how you puff.

Can I seriously vape anywhere I want?

Generally, yes. It has become very common to see vapers using their devices in many public places, however there are some restrictions to keep in mind. Vaping on airplanes is prohibited, and a variety of US cities have bans in public places. And, then there is the common courtesy aspect; remember your vaping etiquette so you don’t make a fool of yourself.

How do I know what’s in my e-liquid?

While we can’t say what other brands have in their liquid, here’s what’s in ours:

  • Water
  • Flavoring
  • Nicotine
  • PG and VG

What does variable voltage and variable wattage mean?

Basically, these are settings on specific advanced vaporizers that enable users to manually adjust the heat of the atomizer for a personally tailored vaping experience. Using these devices requires a good amount of knowledge of amps, watts, and resistance levels for proper use and satisfaction.
