Got a question about your vaporizer that you've been too embarrassed to ask around your e-smoking posse? Or are you a new e-smoker looking for some answers? Either way, you've come to the right place.

Each and every day, our VAPETENDERS® get asked a myriad of questions—everything from what a vaporizer is, to troubleshooting a malfunctioning device. Keep scrolling down to read our responses to these and other common questions people have about e-smoking.

What is a vaporizer?

A vaporizer is a type of electronic smoking device that, like the basic e-cigarette you see in convenience stores and gas stations, delivers inhalable doses of flavored nicotine by heating up e-liquid. Unlike tobacco cigarettes, vaporizers and e-cigarettes emit no smoke, no odor, and no tar.

Vaporizer cigarettes differ from the standard e-cigarette in that they resemble tobacco cigarettes less, have a longer battery life, can hold more e-liquid at one time, and come with a wider range of customization options that are geared towards the more advanced e-smoker. Those are just a few of the differences between e-cigarettes and vaporizers.

Is e-smoking cheaper than regular smoking?

The upfront costs of e-smoking are higher than regular smoking. In addition to the electronic device itself, there are several other parts you need if you want to build-up your e-smoking stash from scratch. These expenses include: extra e-liquid, charging plugs, backup batteries, and any accessories you may want.

In the long run, however, many e-smokers end up saving money. Vaporizer batteries that are properly cared for can have a lifespan of several months, which helps users get the most bang for their buck. And by following some simple money-saving tips, you can increase your battery life even more.

Does using a vaporizer feel the same as smoking cigarettes?

Yes and no. While using a vaporizer is essentially the same idea—you inhale the nicotine through your mouth—there are also some key differences in how you use it. For one, puffing on a vaporizer is much different than taking a drag on a cigarette. Click here to learn how.
